Just take a walk on Devon Street (or Ave); there's a bunch of them. I've heard that one of the new additions there is the "Udupi", serving a variety of South Indian dishes. Yummm....

Have fun...

Yes. Devon in the area of Western Avenue, but that's pretty far from downtown.

Downtown,
look for Bukhara (State? and Ontario), Klay Oven, and Reza's (Iranian, but then the food at Bukhara isn't really "Indian" either). There are also 3 or 4 dives that cater to the taxi drivers (Baba, Daawat, M & M, etc.) but I would avoid these places. For more variety and authenticity, follow Mani's advice and take a cab up to Devon. There's Udupi, Bundoo Khan, and 10 or 20 others. If you like Afghan food, then The Helmand (vicinty of Halsted and Belmont) is awesome.
