Shaily's Rasoi

Super GemThe Loop · Indian (Vegetarian) Community-sourced, unverified
📍 400 S Financial Pl Suite C, Chicago, IL 60605

Shaily's Rasoi is a small, family-run vegetarian Indian restaurant that doesn't need a flashy setup to earn its reputation — it's homely in the literal sense, the kind of place where the paneer paratha and spiced potato fritters taste like someone's actual recipes rather than a commercial menu template.

$
The vada pav — Mumbai's spiced-potato-patty answer to the burger — made a former Chicago Tribune dining critic's list of his ten favorite Loop bites of the year, from a small family-run vegetarian Indian counter.

The vada pav is the dish worth knowing by name: Mumbai's answer to the burger, a deep-fried spiced potato patty (batata vada) stuffed into a soft bread roll, usually with chutneys doing the flavor work a sauce would elsewhere. A former Chicago Tribune dining critic specifically called it out among his ten favorite bites from a whole year spent eating through the Loop — genuinely high praise for a dish that costs a few dollars and takes two minutes to eat.

It shares a building with Halaleez NY Chicken & Gyro, making this corner of the Loop's Financial District a legitimate budget-food-crawl stop rather than a one-and-done lunch destination. Closed Sundays, open the rest of the week for a straightforward, unpretentious vegetarian Indian menu that earns its following on flavor rather than atmosphere.
