Best Indian Restaurants in Lakeview

Cumin’s Lakeview outpost brings the Bib Gourmand–recognized Wicker Park menu of Nepali and Indian cooking to Belmont, with momos, chaats, and rich curries in a polished dining room. Locals use it for fuller sit-down dinners, from butter chicken and lamb curry to shared tandoor orders and vegetarian plates.

Rangoli Kabob’s Belmont location runs a broad North Indian menu with dosas, biryanis, and saucy curry standards, plus a kabob section that leans hearty. Portions are generous, the space is casual, and Lakeview regulars lean on it for butter chicken, naan, and weeknight takeout that still feels like a full meal.

Gorkha Kitchen is a compact Indian and Nepalese restaurant on Diversey where curries, momos, and stir-fried noodles share space with familiar North Indian dishes. It operates more like a neighborhood utility player than a destination, but steady praise calls out warmly spiced sauces, generous portions, and friendly service at fair prices.

Momo Factory is a compact Lakeview East counter spot focused on Nepalese-style momos alongside Indo-Nepalese curries, biryanis, and noodles. It’s more functional than fancy, but dumpling variety, butter chicken, and big portions make it a go-to for casual group orders and late-ish takeout.
