Hi everyone!

Can anyone suggest any good chinese and indian resturants in Chicago. I am going there for this weekend. I am planning to go to the chinatown and Indiantown but do not know which resturant are good. Also what else can I do there this weekend beside museums? Thanks for the help in advance.

I have heard that " hung low" resturant in devon street serve pretty good eggrolls....he he

was that a joke sid? what is that "he he" for? hehe

Loote

dont go to devan street. thats the worst part of fchicago. go to downtown or some other places. there are plenty of good resturnats. u can even find some nepali resturants in the area.

punti ,Do not miss to enjoy the weekend at the beach of lake Michigan : fun ,food, music ,sand volleyball everything is there you’ll love it ( but donot forget to take your swimsuit ) .

There is another one called "Well Hung" at the corner of RedLight square. They have fresh Chinese brand juicy hot dogs.

coming all the way to Chicago for some Indian and Chinese food? Why????????

Instead, How about trying the famous deep dish pizza where it all started at the very first UNO restaurant or the scrumptuous continental food at Signature Room while enjoying view from 95th floor of John Hancock Tower or Argentinian Steak at ..... oh there are so many uniquely Chicagoan gastromical pleasures, but Indian and Chinese food don't come to mind, even remotely.

But, if you must, here are my two recommendations:

Indian food: Tiffin at Devon Street. The decor is nice, food is pretty good but not something you would be compelled to write home about, lunch buffet (around 10 bucks) provides lots of variety.

Chinese food: Joy Yee's in Evanston. Community style seatings, fast service, regular but tasty Chinese cuisine served on interesting platters, fruit smoothies with tapioca to die for, again around $10 for lunch.

Well, make that three recommendations...

While you are in Evanston, why not drop in at our very own Nepali restaurant. It is called Mount Everest. Ramakant Kharel, the friendly proprieter, is usually around to chat with you. Food, unfortunately, is 99% indian variety. But the decor is something to admire and just the overall good feeling from knowing that a Nepali business is doing extraordinarily well in Greater Chicago's one of the WASPiest areas.

ps- disclaimer: None of these restaurants have paid me or given me free meals for writing this piece, but they should, shouldn't they? Can you tell 'em that?

Loote,

yea it was supposed to be joke. Just added he he so that it would sound like a joke. hung low and eggrolls were suppose to correllate to eachother. he he again

Punti bhunti,
you scared me !!
your topic is like HELP !!!!CHICAGO!
I was thinking something happend to you in chicago or chicago was on fire.
but seems like you are on fire for food.hahahaha

you wanted to eat good chinese food and indian food,right!
So , there are many indian resturants all over chicago and negibouring cities.but if you are looking for juciy tandoori and Kabab .i must recommend DEVON street.This steet wil remind you of any indian city because it is so dirty .you can eat paan and spit in the steet.hahaha don't do it though.BUT food is amazing!!

For tandoori buffet .. Shere Punjab is good!they serve hot tandoori on your table!!!
for kabab .. Ravi kabab house is good not so clean though!!
:) have fun in chicago

Sgy, i will mail you the gift certificate. send me your address. :)

Shere Punjab?? ImI, you kidding?? You refer a restaurant like that to someone who is going Chicago for food. It's so cheap and ugly, never ever go there other than to fart.
Tiffin definitely a good choice.

~Ram

So purush, If its cheap and ugly does that means food is not good??Do people go for food or look at the showcase of resturant.I have seen lot of white americans going into that restaurants if it was so bad would anybody prefer that..Well its up to her to go or no go.i just don't care.I am not getting commision out of it.May tiffin very well be good or whatever you say.I tried there food cause i am poor and can't afford expensive places ok!!if that makes you feel any better.

Chinese : 3400 North Halsted - Bunch of good chinese restaurants there!!!

I love DC_virus. Are you from DC or chicago? If you're in chicago then maybe we can go out sometime. What do you say sweetie?

Thanks Slipknot. If you are who I think you are, a mutual friend of our's used to give me gift certificate to The Rivers - fancy spancy place in downtown Chicago right on Chicago river. The woodfired steak there was the best I have ever had.

So yes, I should recommend that place too.

"The Rivers"
Best for woodfired steak. But quite an expensive dig, around $35 for a steak dinner. With drinks, tax and tip, your bill could reach easily around $70 per person. That's way out of my league, but once in a while at special occasion, this is definitely a place to have a meal.

I don't know why people want to taste the same chinese and indian food if you are travelling...try for different food which you never had before ...it will be good to try differnet taste of food ....when ever i go any places indians and chinese are the last option..

ss74k, points well taken. But I stick with Nepali, indian and chinese along with mexican food while I am travelling because I know they taste good and I like it.

But it's a personal preference.

Sgy: Gift Certificate offer is still on. Visit mteverestrestaurant.com and email me your mailing address. :)
