This is the BEST delivery out there!!!!! Everything is outstanding, homecooked, and healthy!!!!!The food gets better every time I order delivery every time. Â Delivery is expensive, but worth it! I have ordered there now 3 times, always late night and the food is stellar. The man who delivers my food is really nice. Next time ordering chicken chargha. The quality is super fresh!!!!! I posted pics ..... Paratha, chicken boti, mixed veggies, rice, lettuce-onions-lime.
Other items I have had: Lahori Dal  - great and mango lassi refreshing!!!!!
Review regarding how the place looks.... I do not care! Often whole in the places have the best food. Every place needs to start somewhere. I only hope as they continue to grew larger as a restaurant and expand, which I am sure they will cause the food is just way to good for this not to happen, that their food still stays this AMAZING!!!
To the yelper that said, this is not true Indian/Pakinstani......when were u in India or Pakistan or India???? Where did you visit???? Â I was in Keerla, Hyderabad, Goa, and a Mumbia.
You may like Delh Darbar better the food was disgusting!!!!!! I order almost the same items as Lahore. The dal was so bad I had to throw it out. The paratha had a funny taste like it was old. The foods tasted like it had been sitting on a buffet since morning or for more than a day.
Cabbie crawl, dive kind of place. Â It's late night food and cannot be related to true Indian or Paki food but the shit is open late late night and will soak up everything. Â Late late, like you got to Devon at 6 am and your driving the stretch of the mile and realize, the Paki side is still open. Â One of two things happens (entering) at that late hour, someone cool is working and allows you to sit and order. Â (the older fully bearded guy with a belly) Or an asshat is at the counter and tells you some horse shit like; "we're only taking phone orders now." Â Which has happened to me.. recently. Then lock the damn door? Â A few things to consider. Â This is not a traditional, nice, sit down restaurant. Â It's where cabbies and students grab a meal. Â It's usually filled with dudes and if I had women with me, I wouldn't bring them with.
The washrooms are... yikes!
Food is alright but has wrecked my stomach usually. Â I guess having any meal that late at night or early morning, would do that to you. Â They have an interesting style of butter chicken made with (I'm betting) dark meat pieces, being that it didn't seem to resemble white meat. Â Stick to the curries as stuff like biriyani at cabbie joints is never as good as what you'd get at a traditional, four or five star, sit down restaurant which is open during normal business hours. Â Compared to Ghareeb Nawaz, Naan on Devon or some of the other late night cabbie crawls, this is a higher priced option. Â Thirty dollars for two, for late night fare, is too damn much. Â That's my two cents. Â The washrooms could be painted and cleaned more often.
This is utterly a place for "the locals."
Groups of men wandered in, grunted orders at the counter, ate and left in the time it took for our order to be taken. The utensils and decor could best be described as early 1980's cafeteria. Since my dining companion and I had no idea what anything was, we closed our eyes and pointed at something random on the menu. The owner was friendly and tried to explain what stuff was, but really he could just confirm that there was chicken involved in some form.
Positives - plentiful and cheap food, excellent lassi, open late.
Negatives - no descriptives, sloppy-joe texture, customers "cleaning their noses and throats out" actively and loudly at the bathroom sink.
I have no idea if I liked this place or not, but I was hungry enough to eat the food and it hasn't destroyed me yet. Â Yay?
My buddy recommended this place. And I decided to check it out tonight.
I dont know about the ambience of this place, seemed as if it was still be remodeled from what I saw but ohh well to the food I guess.
I had the chicken chargha half slab..cost 6.99 . The chicken was just great...very tender lots of flavor and the naan bread was probably some of the best bread I had yet. I give this place 3 stars because I really did nor like the service ,or the setup..food was great though. Will be back again maybe my rating will change.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT. I have no idea what the hell I just ate at this place. All I know is that it was damn good and criminally cheap.
This restaurant is decidedly not geared toward Western patrons as there are no explanations as to what the menu items are. They presume you will know what they are, which I didn't; and notwithstanding that they speak reasonably decent English, the communication barrier made it too difficult to get satisfactory explanations of what each menu item was. So in the end I basically pointed at two items on the menu and said "bring me that and that."
Lucky for me, they turned out to be very good choices. And I picked two because I figured, at five and six bucks respectively, they couldn't have been particularly filling dishes. Wrong. Trust me when I tell you I have a hearty appetite, and I still couldn't finish the second dish. Yep, walked in with 11 bucks and waddled out. (Note to self: one dish will suffice the next time you're there.) That means for 5 to 8 bucks you can get a crazy-tasty and thoroughly satisfying meal. And that's exactly what I look for in hole-in-the-wall ethnic eateries like this. Take note of their goofy hours, however: 6pm to 6am. Great for insomniacs like me (and/or cab drivers), not so great if you're on the prowl for cheap ethnic eats at lunch time.
Speaking of "hole in the wall," this place takes the concept a bit too literally -- one of their walls is unfinished, with studs showing. So this hole-in-the-wall place literally has a hole in the wall. The utter lack of ambiance (and the level of just plain clutter) is one reason why it didn't quite merit a 5-star rating. The other was the mostly inattentive service, though I'm willing to concede that might just be a cultural difference.
I don't know if it was Indian food or Pakistani food or some combination of both seeing how Lahore is in the Punjab region of Pakistan. The only material difference I could tell between this and Indian food is that beef dishes were available. Whatever it was, it was damn tasty stuff. I will certainly be back, though probably for carryout instead of dine-in.
EDIT 4/2011: Everything, and I mean everything, on the menu at this place is so damn good that I'm completely over the "third-world cluttered dive" ambiance. In fact this might be my favorite restaurant in the entire city. Rating bumped from 4 stars to 5!
EDIT 11/2012: The "literal hole in the wall" referenced above has gradually morphed into a half-wall between what seems to be the "men" side of the restaurant and the "family" side. Â Bottom half is solid wall, top half is pane-less windows with horizontal blinds. Ever so slowly, day by day, this place is moving away from "third-world clutter" to "sit-down Desi diner with a few nice touches." That said "nice" is relative and this is still very much a working-class immigrant joint, and a damned cool one.
Another note on inattentive/slow service in my original review: I think I've sorted this out. They're primarily a take-out place so take-out orders get priority. If you call in for carry-out, most times it'll be ready in 15 minutes. If you order in, expect it to arrive at your table within 30. I reckon they figure you're in no hurry if you're eating in; and indeed, none of the dine-in locals ever seem to be in a rush. Whenever I eat in, it's common for a party that already has their food to still be there by the time I've ordered, waited, eaten, and left. All the more reason to support my bump to 5 stars: they're quick when you need them to be, and in no hurry when you don't need them to be.
I have to say, this place has excellent indian food. I've been here on several occasions and every time I've come out full and satisfied with everything I ordered.
Decor and ambiance is basically non-existent and the service is slow, but friendly. The waiter never came to check on us, so we had to go up to the register to find him every time we wanted something. When we first got there, we waited 10+ minutes in an empty restaurant to have our order taken and another 30+ minutes to get our food. But the food is worth the wait.
Portions are big, vegetables are fresh, and the meat is spiced and cooked to perfection. Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala, Gosht, and Naan were very very tasty.
Price is great for the amount you get, and Lahore is open very late. Go for the food, not for the environment (in case your friends are really boring).
4 stars for their sheik babos and chicken tawaa rice, fried chicken. Â The currys there get only 2-3 stars very watery and not good tasting, the butter chicken is a joke and the lamb curry is horrid. Â If you go here only order the 3 dishes up top and you will be happy. Â Place is a dump like every other place on Devon, flys are still hangin on the ceiling with the fly glue trap strings hanging everywhere. Â Real nice decoration to see when you are eating food. Â Climp up there and remove the fly traps everyonce in a while.
Review Source:Jeremy and I tried the naan, which was fine. The roti was a lesser version of the naan. The chicken tawa rice (spicy chicken chunks mixed with white and saffron rice) was tasty, but very spicy. No scary bones or chunks of fat. We had the chicken charga (heavily spiced, then fried chicken), which was delicious. The star. We also had gosht daal (goat with chickpeas). That might have been my favorite. Mild and lovely. Neal and Julie had the handi gosht, some other kind of goat stew. It was spicier, redder, less spectacular than ours. They also tried 'mixed vegetables' which ended up being an earthy mix of peas, potatoes and carrots in a curry sauce. Everything tasted really good, but the oil (ghee?) was SO HEAVY. Neal had to separate the oil from the veggies before he put in the take-away. They also tried the paratha, a fried version of naan. The plain was good. the one with potato was unnecessary. Mostly it just tasted like bread anyway. Neal and I each got a mango lassi. It was fine. Kind-of orangey and less creamy than Ghareeb Nawaz. But everything was about twice as much as Ghareeb. The bill came to $62 without tip for the 4 of us. Don't know if I'd make a trip here again, cause it's so close to Ghareeb Nawaz, which is so much cheaper, and maybe better? Again, the stand-outs were the fried chicken and the goat daal.
Review Source:Simple word, Marvelous. Me & a couple of friends are usually out late night and tried Lahore last year for the first time at around 2:00am. Being as hungry as I was, I ordered a Full Chargha and WOW, was that thing delicious.
In fact writing this review is reminding me of that Fresh, Juicy, Spicy & delicious **Chargha**. Its the best you buck can buy here in Chicago if your looking to eat some thing spicy and with true Lahore flavor.
The service is not the best but is good enough to order some food and the place in not on main Devon so its easy to find parking and nor is it too crowded inside. Well atleast not at 2 in the morning lol but definitely give it a shot especially if you like spicy food.
If you want a great service, this might not be the place for you. There is one cook and one waiter who also runs cash register, take phone orders and at times you'll have to wait almost hour and half to get food.
Food on the other hand is just amazing. Let's start with Roghani Nan which is like regular nan but a hint of oil is used after it's baked to bring out a whole new flavor.
Chapaties are also very large and made just right.
Unlike usual North Indian/Pakistani food, they use less spices by default and you'll have to ask if you want something spicy. Meat is also cooked in different manner but that's how I have seen it cooked around Punjab area.
My family loves it's deep fried whole chicken which is called Chargha but I enjoy their lentil (Dal) or chick peas with chicken (Murgh Cholay).
To sum it up, unless you have a lot of extra time in your hands, call ahead. Ask, what's fresh and if there are any specials. Tell them if you would like to have your food their or it's a pickup and how long will it take you to get there and then enjoy.
Not to contradict anyone else (which seems all Yelp is good for sometimes) but I just came from here last night. Â Service was fine. Â I should say that I came in around 8:30ish on a Tuesday, perhaps that matters.
Now I am from the south, so when ever I here that someone has got some fried Chicken goin' on I am there. Â Pakistan don't F*** around with it's chicken. Â This was tasty. Â Moist and bursting with spices. Â This process (as I understand it) is one of quartering, marinating, frying, re-seasoning and then baking. So, if your interested or unsure how to navigate this particular ethnic menu go with the chicken Charga. Â I also had the plane naan and the goat briyani. Â I can't wait to go back again. Â It was a little on the salty side but not overly so. Â The service was fine. Â English was not a problem. Â The man was very kind and we even talked a little bit about the name sake and the fact that this was hallal. I understand that this is a cabie hot spot and the hours are late night.
Only 4 stars because I have only been one time. Â I predict it will get bumped to five. Â Excellent late night cheap eats.
The food here is quite good, the problem is getting it! Now I'm a patient guy, I've lived in West Africa for about a year, and I've traveled extensively, so I'm accustomed to alternative philosophies of "customer service." However, literally standing and waiting for someone to acknowledge our presence in the place for 20 is a bit excessive. We even had to walk into the kitchen after 15 mins of standing and yelling for someone. AND THIS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. If you do happen to get any service, the bihari kabab is good, and they have some good biryani. The food is just too good to give it less than 4 stars.
Review Source:People. You NEED to try this place out. This place has excellent authentic taste of Pakistani food. The owner and servers are very very humble and patient. The place has a simple decor, looks like old school pakistani restaurant in Pakistan it self, but I guess that's the reason since they want to give it an authentic touch. Food is AMAZING, especially their [Chicken Tawa Rice and Lahori Chicken Chargah] again. Other commercial places in devon are usually crowded it s the hidden gem places like these places that needs to be discovered.
Review Source:Yes, one of my favourite places on Devon. Best thing, it opens till 5:00 and sometime 6:00 AM. Very simple decor. I tried this place when it was first open on western by Devon and loved their Tawa dishes. Chicken Tawa, Beef Tawa, Chicken Tawa Rice. Very reasoanable prices, food is real authentic and flavorful. Be prepared to have some spicy food.
Review Source:I have eaten there only once, at 3 am in the morning, to satisfy my sudden craving for lamb curry. I came here and I was in heaven. Hadi Gosht was wonderful  (check out the picture above, $8), not too spicy hot (although I could totally take it), portion was generous, and the owner was friendly. Too bad naan ($1) or chapatis are not included and has to be ordered separately. Restroom, while tolerable, could use some fumigation. Otherwise, this restaurant is great! I will update my review and hopefully take more pictures as I go back there to try other dishes.
UPDATE: I went there for a second time with friends. OMG. Chicken Tawa ($7) is mouthwatering, juicy, spicy, and tender, not saucy but not dry either; Lahori Daal ($5?), beautifully blended, delicious; Chicken Chagri ($7) is KFC, Karachi Fried Chicken, marinated well and flavorful; Goat Biryani ($7?) is also very good, although I had better ones elsewhere. Raised my rating to 5 Stars.
Good food, basic decor. Another review in my series of "Chicago Hole In The Wall Restaurants I Adore". This place is totally halal (observent Muslim) so there is no music, no TV and no booze. It's a mostly bare room with no decor except for a few religious items, but the food is good.
The chicken is great, kefta kabob is v. flavorful. The vegetables are fresh and delish, and the soup is very good too. Great use of spices and sauces. You could get out of here for less than $20 for two and be stuffed with food.
