this place served up some of the most delicious bite-size Indian food I’ve had in a hot minute. I highly recommend getting a bunch of plates and sharing amongst your party. The butter chicken was delicious and so is the cheese kulcha. We also went over the weekend and they have a brunch! It’s a little on the pricey side but it’s definitely worth a treat

Bar Goa - An Indian gastropub located in the Timeout Market in Chicago has a short but delicious menu. We got their lamn keema pav and samosa chaat and both dishes satisfied our cravings for Indian food. Their flavors are authentic Indian. They have a perfect range and variety between meat and vegetarian options.
