I came here after a trip to Six Flags and the restaurant was super clean and pleasant to sit at. On top of the location and general atmosphere being amazing the food had amazing variety. I had the Paneer tikka masala and the serving size is enough for at least 2 people and has rich favors. Very vegetarian friendly!

First place I’ve ever been too where the chicken fell off the bone, changed my life. Butter chicken slapped, very accommodating, very fast service. Tables were clean, staff was friendly.

Food was at best bland and extremely expensive. I was very disappointed that they try to cheat you hoping you don't notice. Got charged for 4 sodas along with 4 waters when I only had 2 sodas and 2 water bottles. Also they they hide the fact that they already add a 20% tip to your bill and you won't know till you pay and get a copy of your receipt. Might be halal food but haram business practices.

Came here with a large group of 16 people. They were very accommodating and the space was more than big enough to host us. Service was good. The taste of the food was very off, but this was our only visit so it could have just been a one-off. I’m also comparing against chicagoland quality that I’ve grown accustomed to. Price point was a bit steep as well.

When I first walked in, I saw food sitting on the counter, people sitting and eating but no one at the counter. I walked in and one of the people eating looked up at me asking for the name on the order.I told her who I was and then she told me that there was 2 more minutes til my order was ready so I figured maybe it was someone else’s order. I waited like 5 mins only for her to get up and grab the food that was sitting on the counter the whole time! I thought to myself “Ok, the worse the service, the better the food I guess?”NOPE!It was spicy but very bland and there was more bone and fat than actual meat in both biriyani’s that I ordered. The only thing that was good was the naan. I spent just under $75 on all this. COMPLETE waste of money! I will never eat here again.

Walked in, food was packed up waiting on the counter. A the worker, who was eating, asked for the name on the order and when we said it we were told it would be a few minutes.We waited and it turns out our food was the one packed up ready to go all along, she just wanted to finish her food first.Ok…fine… I get that people need to eat, but to top it all off the food is bad.It just tastes like salt. Not all the wonderful spices and flavors of Indian cuisine.We are extremely disappointed and will never waste our money here again.If we weren’t further away, I’d go back and get my money back because I’m needing to put this right in the trash.

Ordered take out. The food was tasty and spicy, but the portion sizes were absolutely tiny and no sides included with the entrees. Chicken was still on the bone, when the description said it would be pieces of chicken. For the price of the food we were vastly under whelmed and still hungry afterwards to.

I ordered butter chicken with rice. I was served soupy unseasoned mystery juice with 3 pieces of chicken and old rice. The cook came around and dug into the food and said they could make it over but wouldn’t give a refund. Mind you, I had not eaten ANY of this food. Then I guess the other cook was upset because I didn’t like it and continued to mean mug me as if that would do anything. I wouldn’t recommend this place and would never be back. They remade my food but I don’t trust it given the treatment I was provided.

Great Hindu food. Chicken biryani was off the charts. Definitely will biryani was off the charts. Definitely will be back fast. Taste great. Great service. Fast service. Awesome ambiance. Like I said, definitely will be back to try out this Hindu food again. One of a kind Bhenchod food

The most expensive biryani in town ($18 inc tax) for single plate is probably the worst biryani ever. It's boiled rice with a few uncooked mutton pieces. No flavour at all.

Food is very flavorless and not spicy at all.

The naan tasted burnt. The food was strangely seasoned. The oil on the mutton masala separated out leaving it with a consistency of tomato paste. Very disappointed.

Horrible wait times for pick up on a Wednesday. Keep getting told “its coming” “its coming”. No one else was picking up or eating there. It was 12pm…

I love their byriani and how spicy the food is! My favorite are the samosas and the portion sizes. I could feed my 5 person family with an order of byriani :)

A couple of my friends and I went and stopped by to eat over here and it was a great experience overall! We all ordered our individual dishes but also got some food for the whole table and shared. I ate the chicken boti which was spiced really well and very enjoyable! I also tried the chicken biryani, chicken 65 and also the butter chicken. I usually don't eat biryani but I really did like the one I ate here. The butter chicken and chicken 65 with the garlic naan was REALLY good. If you like chicken dishes I would recommend trying these out. They also have a sweet dish called kaddu ki kheer which is a milky rice and squash pudding which was also really good. Everyone was really friendly and it was a nice time out. Highly recommend if you want some Pakistani-Indian food.
