About Us

At Deccan Delights we believe food should feel like something more than just a meal. It should remind you of where you came from. It should make you feel welcome. That is why we opened our doors — to bring the real flavors of Indo-Pak cooking to Chicago and to share what we grew up loving.

Chicken Chapli Kabab 40 Pcs

Back home in the Deccan region food was always a big part of life. It brought people together. It made tough days better. Every dish meant something. That is the feeling we want you to have when you eat here.

Julia Child once said People who love to eat are always the best people and we truly believe that. Our kitchen is full of that same love — from the way we marinate our meats to the way we make our naan soft and warm every time.

One of our favorite quotes is from Vir Sanghvi who said You do not need a silver fork to eat good food and that is exactly how we feel. Good food does not need fancy things — just real ingredients patience and heart.

Deccan Delights is not just a restaurant. It is a little piece of our history our family and our flavor. As Anthony Bourdain once said Food is everything we are... your region your tribe your grandma and that is what you taste here — a little bit of all those things.

We are happy you are here and we cannot wait to serve you something that feels like home.

I don’t usually leave reviews but this place deserves it. The chicken tikka tasted exactly like what I used to have back home. It brought back memories. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. This is real home-style food.

I had no idea what to expect but wow. The flavors were deep and rich and the lamb karahi was something else. The staff was super nice and helped me pick dishes. I’ve already told a bunch of my friends to try it. Totally worth it.

I’ve been looking for a spot that actually gets the taste right and this is it. The biryani was amazing and not too greasy which I loved. You can tell they care about the food. It just felt warm and real. I’ll definitely be back.

Loved the seekh kebabs and the naan was soft and buttery. It’s the kind of place where you sit back and enjoy every bite. Solid spot.
