Hema's Kitchen

My bestie from college, Fiona, turned 25 this past week and we headed to Hema's Kitchen to celebrate. It's an Indian restaurant in Lincoln Park that's BYOB. I love Indian food - it's spicy, rich and absolutely delicious. I can't get enough naan, chicken tikki masala and chicken curry.

I tried something new at Hema's and got the chicken biryani. It's a really spicy rice dish. I enjoyed it, but I think I like my normal dishes better. I also tried the chicken tikki masala from a friend's plate and it wasn't the best I've had. Not bad, but all in all the place is just okay. The naan is great, but I don't think that it ever tastes very different. Maybe that's just because I have simple taste buds...

I can't say I don't recommend it, but if you are going to try Indian, go to India House. It's a little more expensive than Hema's, but totally worth it.
