"Maybe you sniff the wafting aromas of ginger, garlic and cumin first; maybe you hear the sitar tinkling its welcoming notes as you enter. Either way, you know immediately that Chicago Curry House is a commendable showcase of Indian and Nepalese cuisines. The lunchtime buffet lets you eat your fill for under $12, with crispy papadum and baskets of naan; while dinner features an à la carte of faves including Nepalese khasi ko maasu with bone-in goat bobbing in a velvety cardamom- and black pepper-sauce. Tandoori chicken is a smoky, moist delight; and butter chicken, creamy and rich in a tomato- and garam masala-spiced gravy, is done just right. The staff has helpful suggestions for dealing with the area's draconian parking restrictions; call ahead for tips." - The MICHELIN Guide
