Khan B.B.Q. Restaurant

Iconic/NotableWest Ridge · Pakistani/Indian BBQ Community-sourced, unverified
📍 2401 W Devon Ave, Chicago, IL 60659

Khan B.B.Q. traces back to a smaller spot of its own that owner Amjad Khan ran just east of Western Avenue on Devon, until an exhaust-fan fire burned the place up in April 2006; three months later, Khan reopened bigger at the current corner of Devon and Western.

The tandoori chicken is the classic order, and the chicken boti is the reason three generations of regulars keep coming back to this Devon Ave institution.

Chicago food critic Michael Nagrant called it one of his favorite Devon Street haunts back in 2006, and returned in 2013 to call it the best Pakistani food in Chicago, singling out the chicken boti and seekh kababs. That reputation for grilled-to-order kabobs and tandoori chicken has held for two decades, even as reviews have gotten more mixed in recent years -- Devon-focused review sites show an average closer to 3.6 out of 5, with some diners flagging inconsistent quality while others still praise the ribs and the Kashmiri tea.

Entrees have historically run cheap for the quality, in the $9-to-$12 range. It remains a no-frills operation -- Time Out's guide to classic Devon restaurants notes that consistency has built loyalty here more than any attempt at polish, which matches the three-generations-of-regulars reputation the restaurant has built.
