Hema's Kitchen offers a serene atmosphere that feels welcoming and cozy. The staff is exceptionally courteous and attentive to all your needs. The service is prompt, and the food is consistently fresh. If you enjoy Indian cuisine, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit!
Horrible. For 15 years I've enjoyed Hema's Kitchen but what I had tonight was completely different. It was bland, just horrible. We couldn't tell the difference between the Vindaloo and the Tiki Masala. Is Hema gone? Geeze, this was so bad.
Meh, disappointed. Though google shows this as Hema’s Kitchen, it is not; it is some other restaurant. When you call for delivery, they answer the phone, “hello”,this you have no way of knowing that it is NOT Hema’s. We got 3 entrees, samosas, and naan. The food tasted like nothing, even the butter chicken was bland. The naan was the saving grace of our meal.
Hema's used to be our favorite restaurant on Devon. We ordered takeout from them all throughout the pandemic and it was a real life saver. Sadly though, the quality has declined. Not sure if it's new owners or what. Our last order was kind of disappointing, it took two hours to deliver and was cold on arrival. Additionally, we were missing the garlic naan which is usually a highlight of the meal. I tried calling to ask for the naan to be taken off the bill, but the person answering the phone asked me to hold and hung up on me. It seems like the recipes have changed as well, this order had a lot more oil pooling on the top and seemed less fresh than previous orders. Honestly y'all, I love Indian food but there's so much good competition I'm just going to try all other other ones until I find my new favorite and go with them. Some solid contenders out there and life's too short to spend good cash on a disappointing experience.
