" We stumbled upon Black Pepper Lounge while visiting Chicago, and it was a fantastic find! The ambiance was cozy, and the staff were incredibly friendly.

" Black Pepper Lounge was an incredible find during our Chicago trip! We sampled the mutton briyani and the fried fish, and both dishes were outstanding—authentic and incredibly tasty! Our only complaint was that the restaurant was quite busy, resulting in slightly delayed service. However, the food more than made up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch at Black Pepper Lounge with friends and I absolutely loved it! The menu was extensive, showcasing a variety of authentic Kerala dishes. Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the beef ularthiyathu. The decor gave off a lovely vibe, but it was a little noisy due to the crowd. Overall, a solid experience! " (*Curated Review*)
