Why, because it was a surprise (to me) this Devon Avenue stalwart is now in the suburbs. I rewoke this when I commented on seeing it on Lake-Cook Road when travelling west. I have been taking Deerfield Road/Parkway far more often, so Lake-Cook had a fresh look to me.
Hyderbad House on Devon has two locations across the street from each other. The larger location on the south side of the street, is the nitty gritty (well, sort of cleaned up) location favored by taxi drivers. They have a family style, more friendly to women, across the street. I always eaten at the taxi driver location. Since the family friendly location opened, they have suggested I go across the street.
When we are at this suburban Hyderbad House, though I guess we will not see you, I will be interested in how they will work over Ramadan. I doubt they will be open for suhoor, the breakfast before nautical dawn. I expect they may be a location for Muslims to break the fast.
If you are following the reviews, is that yelp or someplace else? Some people have suggested to bypass the written review and look at the pictures instead at yelp's written words.
Perhaps this location is better than you think, but how do you know until you go? Somebody has to take one for the team, that they survived these last two years is meaningful.
