A True Melting Pot

A True Melting Pot

One of the greatest things about Chicago is the diversity. Every neighborhood is different. From Little Italy, Chinatown, Greek Town, to Devon. Devon Ave is a street very close to campus and at times it can  feel like a different country in itself. Chicago is packed with culture, and with culture comes food.

I have been to most of the cultural centers of Chicago and experienced the food, the people and the special environments they create. This weekend I took a trip down Devon.

Countless Sari shops, rug imports and restaurants remind you what exists in the world outside the United States.

After much deliberation, my friends and I ended up at Hema’s Kitchen. The restaurant’s sign claims (and might actually be the) “Best Indian Cuisine” in Chicago. I don’t know much about Indian food but it is the best I have ever had.

Lamb Curry with Naan and a Vegi Samosa, it was a good night.
