The cheapest and authentic taste i’d ever found in USA. It just felt like home both prices and the food!! You can order 2 things under $10 and still can’t finish in one go! University of Illinois chicago students from Asia are in heaven bc of this.. must visit and feel like home. The spice level is good for the taste buds, everything was up to the mark. Never left a review but this needs to be said out loud

I was visiting Chicago on a way back decided to grab to go food for my drive back. The food was half way cooked. The kabbabs were not cooked properly. The Biryani was ok. It used to be good couple of years back. I do t know why they change the recipe or the chefs. The Birtani was not good as it used to be couple of years back. Do yourself a fave don't have any high hopes anymore. Food is ok now I guess for the price we pay. But beside biryani nothing is cheap on the menu. Anyways!!

This place absolutely smacks. The sheer value alone is mind boggling. For $20 I can get enough food to last me almost 4 meals. And everything tastes awesome as well. OG biryani with bone in chicken is great, it’s fragrant and spicy as it should be. And their butter chicken is probably the best I’ve had. Don’t come here expecting a high end restaurant experience, this is just excellent, value driven, delicious indo-pak food

Extremely delicious and exceptionally affordable food!

I don't know how this place is not rated close to 5 stars on Google. Considering the prices (relatively inexpensive casual dining), I think the quality is incredible. The meat is always tender, and every dish I've had has great flavor (and I've tried at least 10). I've never eaten in the restaurant, so maybe there is something about the space or dine-in experience that is lacking, but I don't know how the food is not 5 stars for the price and style of food. I love this place.

Randomly came across this place doing a pick up for Uber Eats and was shocked at the prices. Not only is it affordable, but was very delicious. I got the Butter Chicken and it was so flavorful! The portion was a great size as well.
Went over to a friends place for dinner and I cannot stop thinking about this food. So so good! I heard nothing but good things about this place especially the location up north. A couple days after trying this for the first time… I came back for more. 10/10 recommend

Man, Ghareeb Nawaz UIC hits hard. I grabbed the Boneless Chili Chicken Rice and rounded it out with a Butter Chicken Paratha. Super hearty, left me stuffed for under $25 total (plus tip). Place is no frills, but the flavors slap and the portions are huge. Staff’s chill, counter service’s quick, and it's perfect for a Loop lunch run or a late-night grub sesh. No fuss, just good halal eats.

First of all I want to say that reading the reviews a lot of people are complaining about the spice level. If u never had this type of food then just don’t come here. To me personally I absolutely LOVED the spice level. It blended so beautifully with the the many flavors and spices. It was just overall AMAZING as well as great customer service! Definitely will be coming here more often especially in a gentrifying area where foods are extremely expensive On Halstead. I grew up in Pilsen so I love knowing this spot is still here. Don’t listen to the haters on here complain about the spice levels. It was perfect to me <3
