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!“

“A halal Indo Pak restaurant in Villa park area. We had dinner there and food is average. I felt the price is higher with the food quality and quantity. The restaurant has wide variety of menu and most were available. It’s a very good place for big groups and parties as well. Staffs were friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: The wheelchair ramp on the left door do not have it till the door and there is a step. Not sure wheelchair accessible entrance on the right side“

“It was our first time visiting this restaurant, and we went with some friends who were back in town and eager to revisit one of their old favorites. We’re so glad they introduced us to it.

We started with vegetable pakoras and samosas — the pakoras were decent, but the samosas really stood out. They were fresh, flavorful, and clearly made from scratch , definitely not the frozen kind.

For our mains, my husband had the Karahi Gosht and I ordered the Seekh Kabob, along with mango lassis to drink. Both dishes were excellent — full of flavor yet perfectly mild, which was a pleasant surprise since we both have a low spice tolerance.

We finished with the badami sheer, which was just the right level of sweetness and absolutely delicious.

Overall, the food, service, and ambiance were all fantastic. We’ll definitely be back.“
