Himshikar - Chicago

Chicken samosa had hair in it. The water they served was cloudy. The place has a smell and it's not organized.

Best food I’ve ever had! Such great people and the food is phenomenal. If you haven’t tried this place you are missing out!

First time trying this place and won’t be back. Overall, abysmally small portions for the price and mediocre quality.Butter chicken and chicken biryani each were 16. The butter chicken was half the amount of any other place and mostly tasted like slightly spicy yogurt. The chicken Biryani was mushy, clumpy, mostly tasteless. The naan tastes like overcooked plain pizza dough. I think it might’ve been made 3 days ago then reheated in an oven.Seems to me like the owner has given up on the place. Interior is unappealing at best. It smells of cigs and all his take away menus on display must’ve gotten wet and dried together. The place looks disheveled and unorganized.My advice to the owner: get rid of half your menu items. The ones remaining, make sure they’re good. Clean up the place. Double the portion sizes. Try to get some economy of scale going.Good luck!

Their momos and chicken kebabs were okay but the main curry items were not good at all. Madras goat priced at $19 was the most disgusting thing ever. Would not recommend at all.

Recently, we ordered delivery from Himshikar. Although their prices are lower than other places, we found that the portion sizes were smaller than we expected.The palak paneer and madras gosht didn't quite meet my expectations. They certainly didn’t taste like the standard recipes I'm used to, which was a bit disappointing.On the other hand, their Nepalese dish, kukhura ko masu, had a decent flavor, although it leaned a bit on the sweet side for my taste. The kebab, however, was quite tasty.If I were to recommend Himshikar, I would advise sticking to the Nepalese cuisine and steering clear of the Indian dishes. For $90, we were expecting better food and more of it.
