Brad SenffnerJune 10, 2018We had a great time here. The Mango lassi is fantastic! The samosas were perfectly fried. The Madras curry chicken spicy was mouth watering with the garlic naan (extremely fresh and fluffy).
Ben FergusonJuly 18, 2013We got the Bhuna Chicken based off the waiter's recommendation, and it delivered. Not something I would have known to order, but excellent indeed!
Great option either to take out or dine in (although they’re not BYOB like you might expect).
BUTTER CHICKEN (CHICKEN MAKHANI)Tandoori chicken simmered in tomato sauce, butter and spices is the best!
AHLO.tvDecember 26, 2010Waiters don't smile but who cares! =) Food is awesome and you can drink Indian beer.
Kevin StricklandJune 12, 2015The food is as expected, drinks subpar, and the service was pretty awful.

"Try the potatoes with mustard seed and cumin, perfect for the crispy, two-foot long paper dosa. Then try the Swati samosa chaat, a smashed potato pocket drenched in silky yogurt and tamarind chutney."

"Hema's is probably the best Indian food you'll find in Chicago. No, it is. And they deliver. A little pricey but worth it all the way around. Do yourself a favor and order the Lamb W/ Okra. Amazing!"
