Restaurants in Buffalo Grove

“Samarkand Café is a charming, lantern-lit slice of Central Asia that easily earns a very strong four stars. The plov is deeply satisfying—fragrant rice, meltingly tender lamb, and those sweet raisins that make every forkful addictive—while the grilled kebabs deliver proper charcoal punch and the hand-pulled laghman noodles have exactly the right springy bite. Manti are plump and comforting, the tea ritual is lovely, and the warmly hospitable service makes you feel like a welcomed guest rather than a customer. It’s only held back from a full five by occasional inconsistency (one visit the meat was perfection, another slightly dry) and a dessert selection that feels a touch limited. Still, for authentic Uzbek soul food in an atmosphere that glows with genuine Central Asian spirit, Samarkand remains an absolute delight well worth repeat visits.”

“Food was fresh and tasty. Staff was very helpful being this was my first visit. They made recommendations based on what I wanted and the recommendations they gave made the dish even tastier. I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“We ordered the Knockout and a rice bowl for takeout, but the order got a little late, so we ended up breaking our fast at the restaurant. My wife really loved the Knockout. The rice bowl was a bit spicy for me, but still tasted good, the guy in the specs was doing everything at once, taking orders, packing, and answering calls and he was moving fast, so no complaints about the service. Overall, good food and a good experience.”

“I have never had a take my breath away experience until indulging in these cookies. I wanted to motorboat the apple pie featured last week lol. Truly a great oral experience. I kinda don’t want to share how great your cookies and keep it my secret lol.”

“I say this Greek restaurant serves fresh and delicious gyros, souvlaki, and loukoumades.
Greek salads.They highlight the generous portions, authentic flavors, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. They also like the friendly staff and the attentive service.
Update smash burger is amazing I like it very much”

“First time trying Highly recommended”

“Great food- meats , sides dishes could’nt ask for more. Service excellent . We loved the decore.”

“Absolutely love this restaurant. We had brought a tray of lasagna to a party years ago and had nothing but rave reviews. We moved down to FL 7 years ago so it’s been awhile since we have been able to eat here. We bought another tray of lasagna this weekend for a party. Let me tell you…it was so delicious! We are still hearing people rave about it and hope it brings new customers your way. Your GF ravioli was awesome as well. Great food, wonderful customer service, cute restaurant. Now we just need a location opened in SWFL! We will be back and we will always highly recommend this place. Thank you!”

“Niki's Gyros is my absolute favorite spot for a quick bite. The staff is friendly, and every single item on the menu is outstanding. Under the new ownership, this already unbelievable establishment has only gotten better. The fact that the former owner Bill is still cooking at night adds to its appeal. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more highly - it serves the best gyros in all of Chicagoland.”

“We had appetizers which were delicious! The place was packed! Our waitress was so great! Everyone who worked there seemed to love what they do! Speaks volumes for the owner! We will be back!”

“Great atmosphere and Georgia Rae was awesome. Drinks for very 😋 delicious. I'd definitely recommend coming.”

“Tried this spot for the first time and was blown away with the flavors!
It was difficult to decide with the large menu options.
I opted for the barbacoa skillet and upgraded to the cookie butter pancakes.
My teen ordered one of the breakfast combos but added 2 extra eggs and upgraded to the fruity pebbles pancakes.

Everything was delicious. By far the cookie butter pancakes were out of this world!

We will definitely be back!”

“If you want the very best sushi go to Taste of Tokyo! We can’t say enough about how nice, friendly, and creative the owners and their staff are!

“Thank you, Joon for the delicious boba teas 🧋 and smoothies! They were a hit! 18 drinks to celebrate our daughter’s birthday! My personal fave is milk tea with easy tapioca. We absolutely love this place and definitely will return!”

“I finally was in the area and managed to stop by and try this bakery out today. Having a nut allergy, safe bakeries are extremely hard to come by. The fact that this place is also delicious will have me back for sure. Nice employee, delicious treats, I definitely recommend.”

“Everyone keeps talking about the cakes but everyone has been missing out on the absolutely 5 star cookies!

Chicken was hot, crispy and had a great taste. Always enjoy stopping by for tenders or butter burgers. We love ordering the family size onion rings!”

“One of our favorite go-to spots! Everything is consistently delicious—the rolls are amazing, and the chicken and pork katsu are hands down some of our favorites. They put their own unique spin on the sauces, and it really takes everything to the next level. Also, the salad and dressing are super fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend Hakuya!”

“Excellent Thai food. We had the Moo Ping as an appetizer. The pork was so tender and the sauce was delightfully sweet. We had the Drunken Noodles with chicken and Holy Chili with chicken. Both were delicious and the portions were just right. We dined in and there were sadly only a few tables for a Saturday night but it seemed like a lot of take out orders. The service was fast. We will definitely dine in or take out from here again.”

“Fuji Thai is the best restaurant in the area! I worked here for 4 years when I was younger and Ive been back as a customer every time I’m in town for the past 5 years. I can say from first hand experience, everything is clean and sanitary. The staff was always great to work with. For a first job, I couldn’t have asked for more. And Mona and her family (owners) are amazing! The food is incredible. Almost everything on the menu is made fresh and from scratch. Favorites: Tom kha soup Panang curry Double shrimp lover”

“I just noticed that there are new owners really good food”

I've also eaten in the restaurant a few times and it has always been consistent service and quality of food.”

“Best grilled cheese sandwich!”

“What a nice staff. Especially the manager, they made a mistake with my order but corrected it and made me appreciate their kindness. This is the only place I will get my Cinnabon’s from now on even if it will be out of my way. Thank you.”

“Blown away by this location’s aesthetic and cleanliness! The culture is clearly one that is friendly and welcoming and respected my dietary needs and restrictions! The staff and manager were so patient with my autistic son! 1000000/10 would recommend ❤️❤️”

“Today Pizanoz Pizza donated almost 200 slices of pizza to Advocate Condell Medical Center for all the health worker heroes working there! Best thin crust pizza in Buffalo Grove! Check out the menu! There’s something for everyone!”

“Wonderful neighborhood restaurant with the most authentic Korean food! Great ownership and wonderful team. Highly recommend! (My favorite spicy Korean beef soup. Yuk kay Jang). Chicken bulgogi delicious!”

“An awesome place with always fresh authentic food. From simple blintzes with filling and without, to roasted duck with all the condiments and more. Always friendly staff that is ready to help! �”

“great food for a great price”

“Absolutely the best service and friendly environment that you could have at a food place. The best flavors and presentation of all there food options on the menu. I’m a loyal customer I’ve been eating here since they’ve opened. Very fast delivery of the food and staff will also ask to take your trash for you! 100% would recommend eating here for any occasion.”

“The drinks are great and food does not disappoint. We celebrated Valentine’s Day today with good service and a gorgeous atmosphere. Love this spot for work happy hours, a special night out or dinner with the family.”

“Have ordered from here a few times and it has always been a solid take out establishment. Easy ordering, good selection and the dishes that we have ordered were always fresh and good quality. The beef especially has always been tender which is sometimes a rarity for take out in these parts.”

“Great food good service and friendly customer service. Clean place”

“la comida esta muy buena y las bebidas super ricas..🤤”

“I order through Door Dash and Yan Yan has become my new favorite Asian Restaurant. I ordered egg rolls, pot stickers, hot & sour soup and Mongolian beef. All arrived hot and has excellent flavor.”

“This location is AWESOME! Seriously was the best Wendy's I've ever been to. The food was prepared perfectly; I felt like I was actually eating the same Single with fries right out of a TV commercial or other advertisement. The taste was spot-on and, no hyperbole at all, was simply the best experience I've ever had at a Wendy's, hands down. The restaurant was spotless, the staff were all well trained and knowledgeable about their different roles, and I don't think I've ever had such a great experience at not just a Wendy's but at any fast food restaurant, period. I will DEFINITELY be making the trip to come back, even though it's about 18 miles each way for me from my house it's worth it. You should stop by and give them your business if you're in the area - or not. As I said, it's worth the trip for a restaurant that's clean and welcoming, a friendly staff who are experienced and enjoy what they do, and for the food which will be perfect in every regard. A definite two thumbs up in my book 👍👍 and you can thank me later!”

“Food was delicious taste like candy canes on Christmas 😋!!!! I got the all for one half chicken and the chicken and rice bowl !!! That white sauce A1 too!!!”

“Today was my first time and if I lived in the area it wouldn’t be my last! The food was amazing and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend Wiener Take All! They have a variety of options and the customer service was behind amazing.”

“My experience was both positive and negative. The food was pricey but well worth it since you can get 2 or 3 meals out of it. My wife's sesame chicken had an abundance or sweet and sour sauce. Too much for her taste. My shrimp eggs foo young was great along with the egg rolls. My pickup experience was terrible. The sign says "ring the bell"to notify them you're there. After 3 rings and 5 minutes with no response I called them to let them know I was there. They finally came out, no apology just pushed the order thru the plastic and sign the receipt. Not even a thank you. I trust this rudeness was just the result of a bad day and not par for the course.”

“I ventured on to Chic-Fil-A and has a positive experience. I ordered ahead on the mobile app, and selected the drive through option so I can pick up my order. The signage was clear and organized, the food came fast, and it tasted great.”

“delicioso! 100% recomendado”

“Chicken Dum Biryani impressed with aroma and portion size. Beer added to the experience. Staff were courteous, service fast, and prices reasonable.”
