Chicago is about to take center stage in the basketball world. The United Center hosts WNBA All-Star Weekend on July 24-25, 2026, bringing the league’s biggest stars, a jam-packed fan festival, skills challenges, and thousands of hoops fans into the city for one electric weekend.
If you’re heading downtown for the game – or just soaking up the All-Star energy from across the city – here’s a tip locals already know: the best part of game night often happens after the final buzzer. And there’s no better place to continue the celebration than Delhi Darbar Kabab House on Devon Avenue.
Why All-Star Weekend Crowds End Up on Devon Ave
Devon Avenue has long been Chicago’s go-to strip for bold, authentic South Asian flavor – and after a high-energy night of basketball, nothing hits quite like a plate of sizzling kababs, rich Nihari, or a fragrant biryani shared with friends. Sports crowds tend to eat late, and that’s exactly where most restaurants fall short. Not us.
Delhi Darbar is open until 2AM Tuesday through Friday, and until 3AM on Saturday and Sunday – which means even if the game runs long or you’re making a night of it with friends across the city, we’re still firing up the grill when you arrive.
The Devon Ave Advantage: Skip the Downtown Parking Headache
Anyone who’s tried to park near the United Center on a big event night knows the drill: overpriced lots, long walks, and circling the block. Skip all of it. Delhi Darbar has a dedicated parking space right here on Devon Ave, so you can pull in, park easy, and get straight to the food – no stress, no surge pricing, no wasted time.
What to Order After the Final Buzzer
- Seekh Kabab & Boti Kabab – smoky, char-grilled, and perfect for sharing post-game
- Chicken Karahi – hearty and packed with flavor to refuel after a night out
- Nihari – Delhi Darbar’s slow-cooked specialty, rich enough to satisfy any late-night appetite
- Biryani (Chicken, Beef, or Vegetable) – the ultimate one-plate comfort food
- Finish it off with Kheer or Gulab Jamun for something sweet
Make a Night of It
Whether you caught the game live at the United Center or watched the All-Star festivities from a Devon Avenue patio, cap off the celebration where the flavors are as bold as the basketball. Halal-certified, hand-zabiha, and loaded with the tastes of Delhi and Karachi – Delhi Darbar is the perfect final stop on your All-Star Weekend itinerary.
