Loved Aloo & cauliflower dish My partner enjoyed robust Dal dish which had veggie tidbits to round out flavor. we loved the food here. Best Indian fare in the area!”

“The kindest and most attentive staff food is great !!! Your manger Patrick one of the best !! Thank you for making todays baby shower,, PERFECT 💕”

“Standard sushi place with AYCE. It's decent and a good deal. The food is average sushi, nothing great but nothing bad, if it wasn't AYCE I probably would choose a different place, they charge for hot tea and it's flavorless, so maybe avoid that.”

“Great food and several menu options to satisfy various tastes. Lamb ravioli & Ribeye dishes very good.”

“Everything here is delicious but the pastrami is next level. You won’t find anything like it. We recently saw them at Frontier Days in Arlington Heights and I had the New Yorka and pit beans and it was the dream meal for a pregnant woman. The owners are so friendly as well.”

“I’ve seen this restaurant for years (maybe decades?) while going to Napoli’s. It always appears unassuming. A friend and I decided to stop here randomly and boy was I pleasantly surprised! Great service I need to say firstly. Although the laminated menus don’t have prices, the paper ones at the counter do for most items not Market Price. Don’t let this put you off. My meal was $20.99 at time of payment before tip, for seafood. The insane amount of different whole seafood options and steak specialties, the massive colorful platters, the huge drinks… This is a wonderfully decadently-far cry from my typical Napoli’s trip. BUT they still make the essentials like tacos, sopes, and burritos too. I got the Camarones con Crema de Chipotle, my friend got the Chilaquiles Verdes. Both were on MASSIVE platters and was a great amount of food. Seasoned rich sauce, great shrimp, warm tortillas… My friend’s margarita with the Corona took forever to finish and must have had good quality tequila in it. As the meal wore on, the restaurant had more and more customers for a late Sunday lunch. It didn’t seem so empty and quiet as what you see from the outside, and it was nice seeing people coming in. I would definitely come back again or make a pickup order with the fam. Great job, employees!!”

“Our waitress Alyssa was wonder! Had the prime rib and it was cooked to perfection. Great atmosphere to sit and enjoy good food and friends! Highly recommend to go and try it!”

“Great food and service! Really good people!”

“Food was ok , but they charge 3% even if you paid in cash , and depend what server are there's one of lady that she’s from Colombian , she’s so mean and rude !! And they charge 18% for 4 people , this isn’t right”

“We absolutely love this place! It has such a nice, welcoming atmosphere. The owners are so kind and remember us every time. They really go out of their way to deliver a wide variety of choices and a great experience. We especially love their smoothies and ice cream!”

“Great food. One of my favorite places best sandwich is 5 on rosemary bread.”

“loved it! friendly staff and great food.”

“I recently visited a charming Nelikona coffee place in downtown Palatine. The rose 🌹 coffee was delicious. I loved that it was served in gorgeous tea cups, adding a unique touch to the experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for gatherings or meetings. The staff were incredibly friendly, which enhanced the welcoming vibe. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great coffee experience—I’ll definitely be back! 🌹🌹”

“Best pizza in town hands down”

“Beer-battered shrimp tacos, with their special topping, plus we added a slice of avocado, was what we had for dinner tonight. My husband stopped midway through his meal and said this was the BEST TACOS …and guacamole! Thank you Taco Shop!!!”

“. Good Food The Italian sub was delicios Good Food The Italian sub was delic They are too expen though”

“We found this place on a whim after our daughters soccer practice. It was clean, fast, & delicious! The staff was very helpful and friendly. Our kids even got some treats from the owner. Quesabirria was amazing on handmade tortillas. Horchata was perfect. We will DEFINITELY be coming back often.”

“I truly recommend this place. Food is always delicious and friendly service. Will always go to J&J pizza. Love these guys.”

“You have the best Pho in the whole Chicagoland. Your peanut sauce for the spring rolls are excellent. I didn’t like the chicken wings, the fried rolls and the pot stickers. But I will go back anytime for the Pho👏 I even bragged for your restaurant to my Vietnamese business associates. When they come to Chicago for a super Saturday event I promised to take them to your restaurant. More power to you and to that young boy Toby. He is a hard working boy. He will go a long way. See you again soon.”

“Paninis are really good. I've only tried the veggie panini but each time it's been great.

Bummer is that they don't have dine-in service plates so every order uses plastic like with carry out orders.

Love the building they are in - really quaint and antique.”

“Delivery was fast and hot. I got the pan pizza and the crust was perfect.”

“Outstanding. Saw a post on Insta and happened to be cruising through Palatine so I decided to form my own opinion. I’m certainly glad I stopped. Everything was on point. Burger was so good. I’m not normally down with waffle fries but these were great. Nice and crispy and the seasoning wasn’t over powering. I also did the Oreo shake because why not! I will definitely be coming back cuz I’m curious how the chicken sandwich is. Seriously a great smash burger and worth the money imo. Staff was great, friendly and upbeat. The whole place was nice and clean. Love the vibe with the 60’s diner music. Cheers Reps!

Parking: Same as you’d get at any fast food joint.

Kid-friendliness: 100% good for kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible.”

“This place has best beefs and chicken parmigiana in area. Sauce very good worth every dollar.”

“Great thin crust pizza! Good friendly service”

“Ordered carry-out from the Vernon Hills location and loved it! Fantastic quality ramen, flavorful broth and still hot after getting it home. Miso Ramen and Taiwan Ramen are fantastic, but beware that single pepper icon, because it’s no joke! (And I say this as someone who grew up eating spicy food 🙂) Delicious, but intense! I would LOVE to see a milder version of the Taiwan Ramen (or at least a way to adjust the heat, like the Spicy Miso), because the flavor was truly amazing and addictive.”

“Fantastic service! Delicious ice cream! Highly recommend!”

“I love this restaurant and honestly surprised it's not rated higher. On the weekends this place can get packed. Highly would recommend to anyone that loves authentic mexican food.”

“アイスコーヒーとバブルワッフルで午後のひと時を楽しめます。”

“I love this place it makes me feel at home with home food just baked, but better than mine 🤣, about everything I have taste is delicious, awesome to go with the family and the servers are great thanks cafe 14 !”

“****A cut above the rest. -Great and consistent food -genuinely attentive and warm service making you feel right at home. Many ingredients are organic—not because it’s a selling point, but simply because that’s how they do things. The flavors feel more like homemade Greek cooking than typical restaurant fare.”

“Good food very friendly employees clean store 🏬”

“The Sweet Honey Bee latte was really good. There was also a good selection of breakfast pastries in the case. There were six types of muffins which were gluten-free, soy-free, and vegan.”

“Amazing food and service. Great environment”

“We love going to Mexico Uno! We just introduced our parents to it, and they can’t stop raving about it! Nicest people, great food, and warm and welcoming Mexican decor. Check it out!”

“A solid choice for Thai food in the burbs. Even the ants love it! There was a tiny ant roaming around on my plate. It gave the food the thumbs up and I gave it a thumb.

Our waiter was very nice and friendly. We ordered the chicken with garlic sauce, pad see ew, and the fried catfish. All were really good. Besides the ant, and the constant flying of a hungry gnat, the dining experience was good. I'm not a fan of the sticky rice and mango, but my dining partners in crime enjoyed it. The chicken in my dish was somewhat dry, but I get it... chicken is hard! Pad see ew was solid though. Overall, a good meal.

BATHROOM REVIEW: Located in the back, past the kitchen, the bathroom was VERY nice. I think it was nicer than the restaurant dining area itself. Clean, modern, and pleasant, I'd sit on that bad boy any day.”

“First time going here was amazing, staff was great and very respectful, and don’t even get me started on the ramen, everything about it was amazing from the taste to the look. But yeah honestly great place to grab ramen.”

“We came for lunch. They have many lunch specials at very reasonable prices. I had a delicious curry dish with chicken. I will definitely be going back. Ha! I am craving it right now!”

“We decided to try out Tre Amici for our daughter’s birthday party catering. We could not be more pleased with their catering package and the price was so reasonable to feed a large group. The sausage and beef combo, pasta, salad, and pizza package we put together was excellent. All the food was well prepared and our guests were complimenting everything the whole party. We would definitely use them again for our future catering needs.”

“Small cozy restaurant with great and attentive service 👍🏻”

“The smells and flavors are like no other”

“I’m just want to congratulate to Alex Medina and he’s night team work. Esmeralda Cordero, Yessika Hernandez and Maria Chineaz, they are great, everything was good, the service and the food.�”

“Absolutely love this place. My buddy showed it to me years ago and I haven’t gone to any other Mexican restaurant since then. The owners of the restaurant are absolutely amazing people and I always have great service whenever I’m there. Food is quick, tastes absolutely fantastic and the people are amazing.”

“Still the best burger around”

“I am only getting my cupcakes/cakes from Sweet C’s. Love the online availability through her website.

I ordered through Sweet C’s website for a birthday and I was behind on ordering due to my kids being sick. Celia was extremely kind despite it being a last minute order that was 100% my fault.

She had 2 dozen cupcakes for me and they were delicious. Everyone loved them - from the adults to the kids at the party. I always order extra cupcakes to bring home in case I can’t sit down at the party and enjoy a cupcake. I only have 2 left over and now have to share with the kids?! Not happy. Next time I’m giving myself a 6 cupcake buffer instead of 4.

Very easy to communicate with, is on time for pick up the cupcakes and you can still upload a design like she had in store. 10/10 recommend. We went with chocolate cupcakes and a vanilla buttercream. The cupcake will so soft and the buttercream was perfectly fluffy and just the right amount of sweetness. Very well balanced cupcake.

The customer service and the cupcakes were both outstanding. Placing my cupcake order for my birthday today with a 1/2 dozen cookie kit for Halloween.

Dietary restrictions: Able to have some accommodations for dietary restrictions but like many bakeries, cross contamination can happen. She has an info section on this on her website.

Kid-friendliness: She was amazing with my youngest who attempted to place a birthday cake order for June of 2025.”

“BBQ Patio is my go-to. The food is always good, hot, fresh, and ready to go! I love the fact that they care about their employees and family time. I've never in all the years I've been going to the Patio had a bad experience. You want good food fast, on the go, dining in or out on their patio, you will leave full and sassy! Thank you BBQ Patio for being the neighborhood go-to.”

“Alley 64 has a great menu, a fun an accommodating staff! We had a semi-surprise party in their back room! They were so helpful, let us set up early, refrigerated a cake for us, had appetizers out super quick! There was probably about 40 of us and the bartenders/waiters were awesome… it was a huge success! Definitely think of Alley 64 for a group/party options!”

“Best people work here Food is great Pride in ownership Known Peter for years”

“Placed my tamale order last night and I picked up the freshest ever just made this morning tamales. I ordered pork, pepper/cheese, and sweet pineapple. Each type is delicious, moist, and full of distinct flavor. You will not be disappointed. And the service made the visit all the more pleasant. Authentic tamales and English is spoken too. THE BEST!!@”

“Owner is always there and very nice

“Great service and extensive menu.”

“The BEST pączki in Chicagoland!! I eat pączki every year and have been to many Polish stores over the years, the biggest ones and the most popular ones. Trust me, their pączki are simply the THE BEST!!! Just like the ones you eat in Poland, light, fluffy, super fresh....AMAZING!!!”

“Food is delicious!!! Service is great and the waiters are friendly and helpful.”

“Yummy I had one of the biggest burgers and it was great. The service was fast and the server was friendly. I highly recommend it.”

“First time stopping by after years of driving past for work, and I can't wait to come back. Not only were the ladies kinda they we quick as well. Got my food an it was phenomenal I got a mushroom burger with Onions rings and a drink. The burger was very very juicy had flavor bursting in each bite and the rings were nice and crunchy also, I would highly recommend anyone to stop in an try them out.”

“Nice, easy parking, good co- tenants in the strip mall.”

“LUCKY BURGERS ?

Daaamn who knew this lowkey spot was goooodd! Can’t believe I barely tried this spot since it’s down the road of where I live. Got the FULL house double smash burger with bacon, cheddar cheese, grilled onions and “dijonaise” combo with waffle fries/ drink for around 18$. Really loved the freshness of this burger and the bacon was so crispy and just right and with the cheddar cheese. Waffle fries had a Cajun seasoning and were crispy and fresh. Our new go to burger spot ! Also I enjoyed their fried chicken Sanwhich with chipotle mayo and lettuce and pickles, soo crispy and everything is fresh off the grill.”

“The food was so tasty. The chicken was well marinated. All in all it was great for a first time visit in your restaurant. Super recommendable 👍”

“This is a nice local place to go vist they have a nice bar, and they have decent food if u get hungry. You should definitely stop in if u are here in downtown palatine.”

“Fresh and delicious food. Nice to have a halal restaurant in Palatine.”

“This was by far a great experience amazing food friendly staff and not to mention even winning a few times on the machines . I mean who don’t like to like to win money 💰. A group of us visited this fine establishment and from beginnng to end a great experience I will definitely be returning again and have put out the word for people to try this place .”

“Went Saturday night. What a lovely hidden gem. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. It was karaoke night and people sang and drank just a great experience overall. Highly recommend this place as a stop before heading home for the night”

“Excelente lugar con un menú delicioso 💯 % recomendó”

“My family ate here today after a soccer game and it was the perfect spot to grab some quick food. They have a lot of items on their menu, and everything we got was great: chicken pita, gyro, burgers, chicken fingers and soup. The portions are large and you get your money's worth here. The owner was extremely friendly and you can tell he takes pride in his restaurant. We will be back!”

“This Subway location is newly remodeled and so clean! The nicest Subway I’ve been in years. Great service and great quality food, fresh. Friendly and efficient staff and ownership.”

“Great food and service would recommend”

“I’ve been here once a few years ago when I visited Chicago and again this year. The first visit they had karaoke after the Thursday night game and it was a blast. This last time we just went for food so I didn’t get the whole experience, but it was still a good time.

The wings are great, but the best part is the flats come with the tips so you get that extra crunch and meat. I would highly recommend the Garlic Buffalo, but all of the ones I’ve tried have been tasty. Their ranch is good; however, I think it would be better with a chunky blue cheese dip.

The service has always been great for me. My only complaint is their mid beer selection. I think this may be from me being spoiled in AZ with a lot of our places having large craft beer options though.

The place is a solid 4.6/5. Highly recommend it for anyone in the area that lives there or is visiting.”

“I have to say.. I am SO happy!! I have been trying different Chinese places for a while!! And this one is by FAR the best!! I got the appetizer platter and everything is AMAZING!! Hot and sour soup is FULL of wonderful things!! I got delivery and they were punctual, friendly and the food was hot! Can't say the same for grubhub and uber eats!!”

“I arrived an hour before closing after googling restaurants that were near me and still open. The space is small and there is a column in the middle of the dinning space that really seems out of place. I ordered the basil chicken drunken noodles and although I wished they used more noodles, the flavor was definitely there! This restaurant is kind of out of the way for me but I'll be back to try more on the menu. If anyone reading this has a recommendation, please reply and let me know!”

“It’s the coziest bar around and everybody knows your name!! Prices are tight!!💕”

“As far as fast food goes, the place is good, quick and friendly staff. If you like Wendy's you'll get a good price and quality here. Thank you Wendy's for honoring Veterans.”

“I love the tacos Margaritas are to die for. The place is very clean. The waiters are amazing will definitely go again.”

“The best service and Beef in this area. I bought 5 pounds of bee for July 4th and it came with sweet peppers and bread. The employee was super courteous and very helpful. Everyone asked where I got the beef from and said it was superb. Thank you to the people that worked on my order and thanks for your gracious service”

“Ordered takeout last night for the kids. Walked in. The staff had music playing as they were making the pizzas - one guy was dancing. He turned and looked at me with the most genuine smile and asked if I was having a good day - and on my way out shouted "Have a great night, boss!" The guy at the checkout was having fun. Seriously, you couldn't have left the place without being in a better mood. It's not often you see a people really enjoying what they do, and feeding that energy to their customers. Just wanted to call it out.”

“Great food and service! Many options on the menu to select from.”

“It’s a fun out going place”

“Amazing service, I have only had my food delivered and not one complaint. My food is always correct and hot.”

“My 2 1/2 year old grandson and I had lunch there today. The staff treated us with kindness and good service! We also enjoyed the beautiful fish pond!”

“The new recent owner has made great changes to the quality of the food. i have been there twice recently with several friends and we all agree the quality of food is back to what is was several years ago. Last night we had 5 differant items and all agreed the food was great and we will be back.”
