As a fan of their location in Rogers Park, I had to put Ghareeb Nawaz in Lincoln Park to the test and it passed with flying colors. Though small and plain on the inside, the food is so flavorful and the portions are incredible for the cost. I got the butter chicken plate which came with butter chicken, raw onions, a white sauce for dipping, and paratha which filled me up completely (and less than 10!!). To drink, I got the mango lassi which is very sweet and creamy; the perfect balance to the savory, well-spiced meal. This is an affordable option that doesn’t compromise on quality or flavor!!

Great tasting butter chicken and garlic naan. This location has been several different restaurants since I moved to this neighborhood and I think Ghareeb Nawaz will be the most successful. Great prices, great food, and easy ordering process.

I was in the mood for Indian food! Soo let me get into it! The food at GN was great! I really loved the garlic nan! It was perfectly cooked. The seasoning and spice level was great that it wasn’t too spicy. I could eat here any time that I am in the mood for Indian food as the menu could entertain someone’s stomach for some time! The service was great the main counter person was friendly and helped me walk through the menu! The atmosphere was great. I like the decor and how it was like walking into a different time zone. Overall, I will say give Ghareeb Nawaz a try if you haven’t had Indian food before.

SO affordable! 6.99 for an entire plate of food (a serving of butter chicken, raita, onions, and chappati). My friends ordered their own entree curry and biryani and the portions were humongous. The food was also quite tasty! Service was fast. I do wish they served chai at this location. Will definitely be back to try the other menu items.

Wonderful & kind staff! I live near Devon, so I’m used to a much bigger menu, yet this place has everything I want. Very happy with the food & the location. Chili chicken with butter chicken, daal, & aloo are all incredible. Extra garlic naan. Don’t forget the chai! Perfect pick me up for the day.

YOOOOO THIS PLACE Delicious delicious delicious (i was hoping if i said it three times in a row butter chicken would appear in front of me LOL) Ghareeb Nawaz was a fine establishment that prides itself on decadent food. I can’t believe I’ve never been here before. Not only is the food good, the atmosphere is important too. I forgot my headphones but I was totally allowed to watch some youtube on my phone. I would highly recommend both interviews of Quentin Tarantino by Bill Maher for Club Random. Lots of insights there BLESS thank you

Mmmm I love the butter chicken here Came in as a group of four the other day and only paid 24 to feed all of us. Probably could’ve gotten a better deal if we made the lunch special but whatever, it was still so refreshing since it usually costs like 24 per person anywhere other than a fast food chain Tried the palak paneer for the first time and it was nice. Mmm spinach. The mango lassi isn’t as yogurt-y as it should be, kind of more like a watery mango smoothie, but I think it’s still delicious and is good value. That garlic naan though... chefs kiss. I also love the raita.

A MUST VISIT. Incredible value for the price. The best one I’ve seen so far. No doubt. First of all the food was FLAVORFUL. It was shockingly delicious that it felt somehow addictive lol. My mouth is watering so bad while writing this now Nice atmosphere to eat inside. Clean tables and well organized dining area. Atmosphere here is pretty chill and friendly for people who enjoys eating alone like me Definitely visiting again. (Edit: Yes I visited again. This time I ordered boneless chicken biryani and the portion was huge. Like really huge. Tasted absolutely amazing. I had to grab a to go box and bring some leftover with me. This food definitely does its job when it comes to feeding people. I’m so content and satisfied )
