Curry Hut Restaurant

Come here for the $ 10.95 lunch buffet. It’s a decent selection of food choices with all of the typical dishes represented. A plus is you can have as much of the tandoori chicken as you’d like since it is served at the buffet instead of being brought to your table. You will feel like you are on Devon!

Overall it was really yummy. Food was hot, fresh veggies, clean and friendly. Great jalapeño spicy sauce and hot fresh naan bread were a treat. They are closed in Mondays. Lunch other days is 11:30am-2:30pm. It’s definitely the most tranquil atmosphere of any buffet spot. Great for a quiet meet-​up discussion meal. While I miss the $ 9.95 price of years ago, I was pleased that with tax my tab was $ 11.83 total. Enjoy!

I get takeout from here on a regular basis and it is always amazing. The chicken tiki masala is my favorite but the chicken curry is good as well just not as spicy as I like it. The side of rice is huge and can easily be shared between 2 people. Highly recommend.

Gone very much downhill. Used to be our favorite restaurant on the north shore, despite the high prices, but the service has deteriorated, took an hour to deliver food last time, no comments, nothing done to fix it. I’ve noticed the old manager is never there anymore, at least not visible. And there used to always be a coupon for 10−15% off, and not anymore. I will drive to Devon and try to park.

This is the best Indian food on the Northshore!!! I love the staff– they are friendly and know you and your favorite items. They make you feel so welcomed. They have a buffet during lunch and the dinner is so delicious with many more items that are not available during lunch time. This place is better than Gaylord’s!!!

So unfortunate, we gave them another chance after a terrible meal 8 years ago. We love Indian food, we were so hopeful! The service could only be described as surley, and the food was again terrible. To top it all off it was completely overpriced. There are so many lovely Indian restaurants around, please
do not let this one sour you on Indian food.

Has been our standard go to Indian restaurant for years. Always delicious always great and friendly service.

We love this place for the Lunch Buffet. 11.95 and all-​you-​can-​eat Indian/​Nepali. The food is great, especially the tandoori chicken. It’s really a great value for some quality fair and the restaurant itself is very nice as well. Staff were very attentive and helpful, going out of their way to explain dishes or what would be available. Highly recommended.

I had the sagg chicken (chicken and spinach), and the cucumber salad. My rice and chicken was extremely cold, so I’m not sure what that was about. The small votive candle didn’t do much to heat up the food. The salad was really refresh, I’m just not a big fan of iceberg lettuce, I don’t personally like it. The garlic naan was the only thing that was fantastic. You expect Indian food to be explosive with flavor and it wasn’t even close. I had to send it back, which is disappointing because it was to cold & never became warmer under then candle, and then they gave me the wrong food (the red chicken dish from the photo) which increased the waiting time. The person I am with already finished her food as I still wait because they are understaffed. I won’t be back.

I have dined IN here twice. Once a year ago (Liked it, pleasant experience) and last Saturday night. I get to eat the leftover take out food in a friends fridge quite often. :)
It was about 7pm, obviously dinner time. It was a little more than half full and we were in the mood to try some new things, so we did.
We started with a basket of naan and the 4 dipping sauces. I had never really paid much attention to them, but my intake of Indian food has gone up this year, and, these sauces seem more homemade than other places. The tamarind sauce is really nice and spicy, but not caliente hot (and sweet of course) and it’s not like a thin syrup at other places. I like the chutney and the green sauce. The 4^th chunky marinated butter veggie dip isn’t to my liking — but I am sure that is a personal preference. The naan is heavenly. Nice, fluffy, hot, fresh. Yummm.
We got the Chicken Saag (two thumbs way up). Great thick spinach sauce, with big chunks of chicken. They could have been more tender, but they were fine.
We also tried the Lobster curry. The sauce was great, but the lobster was overcooked. I wasn’t expecting it to be perfect, but would have been really pleased. It was still great to eat. We got an eggplant dish (Baighan Barta) and I liked it a lot — but I am an eggplant lover and this has a lot garlic, which I do not fear.
Overall, it’s a thumbs up! I eat their food a decent amount and I will continue to do so.
The only not-​great part of dinner was that my date had to ask 3 different servers to get his diet coke.

I boycotted this place for a long time because of service issues, I certainly understand the poor reviews citing attitude or customer service problems. I have had them over the years as well. But the long and short of it is that I keep coming back for the food. With nothing else quite like it in the area, it fills a much needed niche.
With a daughter who is a vegetarian and loves Indian food, there are plenty of tasty options here for her. My to dinner though is: an order of the vegetarian, samosa, mix raita, naan and chicken tikka masala. I love to slosh on the raita (a yogurt and vegetable mix) all over the crispy pastry of the samosa filled with potatoes and peas. Then the main event of the naan and chicken tikka masala. The sauce is so good you want to lick it off the plate. I love tearing off a piece of the naan and submerging it in the sauce, trying to get as much as possible onto the bread. Yum!
I recently tried the vegetable kofta for the first time and loved it! It has an amazing sauce suitable for dunking as well!

Mediocre at best. The service was slow and they leave your used dishes on the table piling up, even if you ask them to remove them. We ate here on a Saturday night and they only had one server, with several people bussing tables and so our food was slow to come and plates piling up on our table. They are however, very good at filling up your glass of water, even if it’s still three quarters full, frustrating. The food itself wasn’t terrible, just average, but the service just simply overshadows any food quality. I will not be back, and too bad, as the North Shore desperately needs quality international food establishments.

My review is 5 stars based upon the area (north shore) it would be 3 – 4 stars in the city but you have to appreciate the context of the suburbs. In any event, their chicken tikka masala is one of the best I have had, especially when requested extra spicy. I typically order from them off of grub hub and have been for a few years. They always get the order right. The naan is very good the other dishes are spot on. The lamb samosa is also a good choice from this place — not overly greasy or too much dough. The eggplant and also the lentils are good choices as well as their tandoori chicken. So far no bad dishes from this place in 2 years of ordering.

As a rule I don’t do Indian buffets (always order off the menu) but there were so many interesting things to try I decided to break my rule. It was, in fact, an excellent overall lunch buffet. The killer item here is that there are so many killer items. Most things were delicious but the tandoori chicken was a little over cooked and dry. The naan and mango lassi were extremely good as well.

First time ordering take out from Curry Hut — The vegetable samosas were excellent as was the momo and naan. The chicken dishes were good with a strong variety of delicious sauces though the chicken itself was just a little dry. Would definitely order from Curry Hut again.

My wife and I have ordered out from here on many occasions, but over the past several months, the quality has steadily declined, and tonight, my chicken was raw. I am posting the pics. I ordered the Chicken Tikka. When I called to let them know, the gentleman over the phone said, «You can microwave it…» Really — no thank you. Take a look at the pics and you will see. We went back and forth for a little bit, and he finally said he would refund my credit card. Literally, asked me to microwave it several times… because I generally like to microwave my takeout as soon as I get it home.
Curry Hut, get your game together, until I hear of significant improvements, I am taking my business elsewhere and letting the small town network know as well.

I have not had Indian food for about 2 years since I moved here, and with Curry Hut this close, there’s really no excuse. Why didn’t I stop in earlier?!
I ordered carry-​out a couple nights ago to help me get through finals, and I was quite satisfied with my experience. The naan was oh-​so-​soft, the chicken Makhani (butter chicken) was tender and flavored exactly the way I like it, and the Palak Paneer was very solid. I think the rice and Gulab Jamun suffered a little bit for being carried out instead of eaten fresh, but that’s hardly the restaurant’s fault. I would definitely eat there again, and perhaps update my review as I sample more of their dishes. My only complaint is the slightly-​high prices, but they’re not prohibitive and the food is good.

Five stars because it’s the only one of its kind in the area! And they do it well.
Especially superior is the chicken tikka masala, and their aloo gobi. Their naan is perfect, flaky, and buttery. Their samosas are killer as well!
They do have a lunch buffet, but I prefer ordering from the menu– or even doing takeout!
It’s not super inexpensive, but they do have a monopoly on the Indian food market in the immediate vicinity, so for a once-​in-​a-​while tikka treat (aka every time I visit my parents), this is the go-​to!

This is not quality indian food. In fact, I have had better Indian from the frozen section in Trader Joe’s. We ate the Chicago Curry House and Nepal House in Chicago and those were decent (3 stars) and Curry Hut was supposed to be on owned by the same group but is clearly not on the same level.
First of all the service was horrible. We had a total of 8 people in the restaurant and at least 6 staff. Even with that ratio we were not well attended to. The host was not friendly at all like it was a chore to take our orders.
Now on to the food. I ordered a mango lassi for a drink and the yogurt used for the drink was sour and the drink was not sweet at all. I stopped after 3 sips. I ordered dahi puri which is a typical Indian street food. What arrived was a soupy mess. The yogurt was again sour and the whole dish was drowned in it. There was no flavor or spice in the dish at all. I stopped after 2 bites.
I ordered the keema and my friend the chicken tikka masala. The keema was ok but the peas in the dish was undercooked. The chicken tikka masala was not flavorful at all and the meat overcooked.
So why the discrepancy in the reviews (a lot of people have rated this place 4 stars)??? I am Indian, grew up in England (which has amazing Indian food, even in grocery store freezer sections) and my mother and father are amazing cooks. Perhaps this has tainted me for life. For those of you who go to this place and enjoy it, be prepared for better Indian food in Chicago (however the best Indian in the US is in NY and SF IMO). For those of you who are turned off like I am, this is NOT good Indian food so please don’t judge a whole cuisine on this one place.

I’ve eaten from Curry Hut on three different occasions:
–Catered event (3 stars)
–Dinner (5 stars)
–Lunch Buffet (4 stars)
Dinner Food:
1. Chicken Mukhani: Creamy and delicious! Butter chicken but with lots of flavor and the perfect consistency to me!
2. Lamb Tikka Masala: absolutely devine– I don’t particularly like lamb but it was cooked well to take off the pungent flavor of lamb. and drenched in that tikka masala sauce, it was a good variation of the normal chicken tikka masala.
3. Naan: Crispy and heavenly! It was a tadd tad oily but the crispiness of the naan was just perfection.
Definitely not good when it’s made in bulk during catered events but in these individual pots, it was much better.
I also tried their Lunch buffet. It was good but I still prefer ordering individual dishes because it ended up being about the same price for buffet as opposed to dinner but we could take the leftovers. AND i feel as though the quality of the dinner food was better.
For example, The buffet didn’t even have Chicken Tikka Masala as an option so it was very limited. The Chicken Mukhani was SO good during dinner but during lunch it was pretty okay. And the Naan was sooooo amazing during dinner but during the buffet it was not up-​to-​par. :/​
Some people don’t like Curry Hut but everything was pretty good for me. Parking was a bit difficult. and the quality of food varies depending on how it is ordered. These two issues costs Curry Hut one star. But I’ll be back for more eventually!
