Pakistani Restaurants near Des Plaines, IL

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had an excellent experience at Tandoori Restaurant! The food was full of authentic Pakistani flavor — especially the biryani, tandoori chicken, and Irani chai. Everything tasted fresh and was perfectly cooked. The staff were polite, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed.

The restaurant was clean, cozy, and welcoming — you can tell they really care about quality and customer satisfaction. The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes, and the presentation was great too.

Definitely one of the best spots in the area for real Pakistani cuisine. Highly recommend to anyone craving flavorful food and warm service!“

“Some of the most delicious indian food I have ever eaten. The paneer literally melts in your mouth- perfect texture and moisture. I ordered Paneer Tikka Masala, Palak Paneer, Garlic Naan and Plain Rice and honestly everything was incredible. 5 Stars for quality of food. Atmosphere is not that of an overly fancy restaurant, if thats what you're looking for. It was a quiet week day and service was good.“

“We had brunch at Shahi and it was a get together of almost 75 ladies. the quality of food , taste and service was out of this world. just the Chinese noodles were extra spicy but rest was 5/5. I love the decor, taste and hospitality since the owner Rahila Al Karim took over.“

“Very delicious tacos, mango lassi, chicken spring rolls!“

Outstanding experience at Shahi Nihari & Chopsticks!

We recently hosted our team outing for around 50 people, and everything—from parking accessibility to private dining arrangements—was extremely well managed and stress-free.

The food was absolutely amazing. Our menu included nihari, chicken tikka boti, veg Hakka noodles, garlic chicken in sauce, chicken biryani, along with tea and accompaniments, and every single dish was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared. The variety worked beautifully for a mixed crowd, and the quality was consistent across all items.

The staff was courteous, attentive, and very accommodating for a group of our size, which made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. The private dining setup was ideal for team bonding and conversations.

Overall, everything was perfect—great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended for team dinners, group events, or family gatherings. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Wonderful food & service!“
