NR  Best Tandoori chicken and Behari Kabab on Devon service and hygiene needs improvement and bad interior color choice

  No taste in food at all. You can cook at home better then that. No service and no hygiene , feel like you just waste your money. especially don't go in summer time because seem like you are sitting in a tandoori oven, so hot and uncomfortable.

★★★  Came back here after a while but was disappointed with the quality this time around. The tandoori chicken was very dry and hard, did not seem fresh and did not seem to have been cooked evenly. Not sure what happened as I've had good experience in the past.

Old review:

Found this place to be clean and well maintained. Had their tandoori chicken which was one of the better ones I've had in a while. Naan was also very good. Great service as well.

★★★★  This place is pretty good. We had the beef seekh kabab, chicken boti and karahai beef. All were good. Their choice of bread offerings were equally as good. You have to try the Onion naan and the Kheema paratha - one of the best I've had. The food here is good. Stick to the tandoor items and you can't go wrong. It is slightly pricy compared to other restaurants in the area, and considering the the ambiance and service received, but overall a good friendly option on Devon.

★★★  First the highlights - Spacious and welcoming ambiance, nice for dine-in with family. Tandoori chicken has always been good here, nice and juicy!

Not too many options on the menu though. Not really satisfied with Chana Masala and Frontier Chicken Rice, I've had much much better at other Pakistani restaurants.

Overall, an Okay place to go if you don't have other options (Usmania, etc)

★★★★★  When asked by out-of-towners for the best grilled Indo-pak food or best kebabs, this is where I refer them. The Chicago Reader named them best restaurant in 2008 and it's easy to see why - a lot of kebobs done well with a nice, clean atmosphere.

★★★★  I went there in a group of 40-50 people for a dinner! I must say i came back with good taste memories in my mind...the thing I liked the most was Ras malai...the best I have had in Chicago, although I dont know if they made it or ordered from some where else! In my opinion, everything was very well made, be it curries or pulao or bbq...I have heard good things about "Frontier Chicken Rice"...will love to try again!

★★  I just visited this place last week. Their food is average. However, I noticed that the utensils on the table are not clean. It appears that they were cleaned with a dish washer, but nobody watched if they have been washed perfectly or not.

★★★★★  I love this place. The kabobs are mouth watering and tender. The service is ok but the taste of the food more than makes up for any downsides.

★★★★  Very good food. Better than other restaurants on Devon. We tried Bihari kabab, chicken boti, seekh kabab & karahi gosht, all were above average. Service was fast & friendly. Highly recommended.

★★★★★  I should be receiving credit for suggesting this place, along with mohsen's wife. But he's right about the chicken & beef kebabs being amazing. Very soft and mouthwatering. They are skewered right in front of you, along with the chapati roti or naan (try both!). Best sandwich rolls I've had!

★★★★★  Best seekh kebab sandwhich I've ever had, I cant wait to try the other stuff on the menu. We almost missed this place but thanks to my wife we got to enjoy the kebabs.

★★★★  I am not really sure why other people did not like it, i was in chicago for 2 months and ate out at almost all the restaurants on devon. After Sabri Nehari, this place is the second best halal place in my opinion. Their bbq item were great, we tried chicken tikka, seekh kabob(that were the best), and their vegetarian items. Palak aaloo and gobi aaloo were good and tasted very authentic and spicy. I really liked this restaurant there was a separate area for families. The best thing was that you could see your food being cooked and it looked pretty clean.

  Absolutely the worst service on entire Devon. The food is simply over rated. We went there three times and every single time we were disappointed. There Paratha was so thick that it was inedible and pretty much raw on the corners. Their chicken tikka was extremely garlicky and felt not made with fresh chicken. Biryani was OK. Will never go there again , inshAllah.

★★★★  The name is deceiving. There is no BBQ item. It's a typical Indian grill.
The seekh kabob is okay but because it is frozen, it is sort of like rubber.
The portions are HUGE and the Mongolian chicken/beef is really good.
Best thing I like about this place is that it is clean, and it is very hard to find a clean place on Devon.

  First off, for those who think this is Pushtun/Pathan resturant and thus expect that kind of BBQ expertise, No its not. This place sucks from my standrads but then again my BBQ standrads are kinda high :)
Service sucks, the waiters are always a little too busy God know doing what. I orderd chapli kababs, they were below average, I myself can honestly do better than that. They were less then 1/4 inch think with no trace of eggs, or fat. Basically it was qeema pressed into something. A couple other items we ordered were belwo average too. Most bbq items taste like shami kababs for some reason.

Not worth the money.

★★★  I was surprised there was nothing bbq about this place. Was very sad and wanted to leave but hubs had already ordered and we were eating. Food was so so and it seemed the staff was tired of serving all day but they actually seemed to be making an effort to be nice. I could tell..If you want authentic bbq don't go here but its not bad..

★★★★  I would give Khan BBQ a 8 out of 10 as the food quailty is good especially the tilwala naan (the best naan on devon) in my opinion. The meat is decent but a little on the dry side (i've had the bihari kebab and chicken tikka). In my opinion the best desi food in chicago; however, the menu options are few. There is no mixed grill option (which is very strange for a bbq place). The Kashmiri chai was not good at all (if you want good kashmiri chai- go to afghan kebab near MCC masjid- well worth the trip and measlely $1 price).

In terms of the service, the waiters can be rude, and if they weren't uncles, i would have given them a piece of my mind. They were waiting for us to finish eating so that they could go home. They were literally standing by the door and staring.

All in all, the fact that this is the best chicago has to offer will keep me coming back for more and praying that they update their decor and interior and try to make it more of a fine dining experience.

★★★  Place was good, a bit on the spicy side!

★★★★★  I think its a great place for authentic Bar-B-Que. The place is fortunate as its older location got all burnt up and it lead to them opening this new place which remedies the only problem they had(location)
Their must-tries are Chicken boti, Tandoori chicken, Daal Paalak and Bhindi.
Price is moderate for a Devon restaurant. Waiters might seema bit rude at times but I think its mostly to do with them being overwhelmmed at busy times. Naans are good but not for take-away as thet get soggy.
