“Wonderful, classy yet casual experience! Delicious!!!“

“Great food ! Their Sambar and Puliserry are hundred percent authentic! Apart from the above, their vegetarian thorans are a treat ! I had chance and still enjoying their Koorkai thoran after years .“

“I ordered out and had a great experience. I was greeted by multiple friendly staff members, and provided my order promptly. The samosas were high quality and filled to perfection, the naan was the perfect compliment to the entree, and the butter chicken was so flavorful. You can also adjust spice level on other dishes. Definitely coming back again!“

“Nina's was an excellent value, and tasty - a place I will return to or order from in the future for Indian food. I've been enjoying indian food since I was a child in the 70's, and recently my elder greek aunt mentioned she knew about Nina's and wanted to try it. She's in her early 90's and I knew she had concern for flavors and overly hot spices, so I was initially anxious - yet the menu had many clear options and while I can tolerate medium heat in dishes, I was able to discern helpfully which dishes were significantly spiced and also find out if the spice was hot, or simply aromatic in descriptions - she tried the Goat Biryani and requested it not over-spiced. Portions were excellent, both for her dish and the Chicken Tikka Masala which my wife and I requested, which we stated we liked spice for. They accomplished our dishes well all around and accompanied with delicious crisp veg samosas filled with the usual lovely and tender filling - dipping sauces, garlic naan, and complimentry basmati rice with our tikka dishes. The little gulab jamuun donut balls in sweet sauce was a perfect desert at the end.

My aunt's goat biryani was very pleasantly spiced, not hot but still a nice medley of spice that accompanied the large and tasty pieces of goat - which really pleased my greek aunt and though she ate as much as she could, she still sent half of it home with me and my wife AND took some of it home with herself as left overs! As a standby, we orderded normal chai with cream and sugar and it was excellent, but they have a full bar and selections of indian beers and other beverages, as well as western sodas.

The ambiance as some have mentioned may need a little work, but it was nice tables inside, many two tops, but also enough to handle medium parties as well without rearrangement. Quiet inside, we could hear ourself talk and enjoy the gathering - and though some might feel an indian restaruant needs something like lowly played pleasant music -by and large Nina's cooking did the speaking and it would call us back.“

“The best food in the world so good biryani. My brother loved the saffron samosa it was great although the girl in service could help us a little less because I was just about to give her like 100 dollar tip cuz she was just toooooo good overall idk if u haven’t tried this then just know you’re missing out on Al Lott“

“All the dosa's are fabulous, chicken corn soup is absolutely delicious. the mixed grill, roast mutton, chicken samosas all outstanding.“

I had a great experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious—everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly.

What made the visit even better was the excellent customer service. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making sure we were comfortable the whole time. They were also happy to answer questions and give recommendations.
Overall, I highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Pakistani cuisine with outstanding service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“So good. Delicious, tasty and all kinds of yummy. Everybody at the restaurant was so nice and generous. I highly recommend this place. We come to the area once a year from Canada and I think we’ll have to make this an annual dinner.“

“This is hands down my absolute favorite restaurant in the entire area! The secret to their incredible success is Chef Pramod—his talent and execution are unmatched.
​The Indian fusion menu is brilliant from start to finish. You absolutely must try their fusion drinks; my personal favorites are the Mango Mastani, the Paan drink, and the Guava Rum Punch.
​For food, start with the Bao (both the paneer and fried chicken options are incredible) and the Street Noodles. For the main course, their Thali is a must-try, offering a perfect variety, and you cannot leave without ordering the Lamb Biryani—the baby goat meat is unbelievably tender and packed with flavor.
​Save room for dessert! The Sticky Date Pudding with ice cream is phenomenal, and their Mango and Pistachio Kulfis are the perfect authentic finish. Every single dish is a hit. Highly, highly recommended!“

“Kama Bistro is the best Indian restaurant, hands down! I can't believe they are so low on your list (even after Blueberry Cafe, no offense Blueberry!). Whenever we've eaten at Kama, we are always so happy that we did. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Highly, highly recommend.“

“We called for a last minute reservation in which they where able to accommodate us right away and gives us a table for a large party even though they were busy trying to keep up the orders while being understaffed. The food was amazing as always and the server Deep was very patient and understanding with us. He took his time explaining the dishes and complied which each of our demands with a smile on his face. Would definitely recommend coming here again and to everyone else.“

“India Palace is the best restaurant in the world!!!! Our whole family loves it and we love going there!!!!!!!!!! You should go there for dinner and dessert!!!!!!!!!!!“

“We ordered a tray of Mutton Biryani, and the taste was excellent!! ❤ The saalan was too good, it was worth every penny. I would say this is the best in lombard and oakbrook terrace area. Every one who loves biryani, must try from their place its worth it.“

“I recommend everything, their food is delicious!!!“

“delicious ♡♡♡♡ loved it all!“

“THE BEST Indian food Experience in CHICAGO.“

“I tried Vasco’s Peri Peri for lunch and was blown away by the Two Tenders Rice Bowl. Tons of flavor, generous portions, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. It’s hard to beat a fresh, hot meal like this for under $11. Perfect quick lunch option Monday through Friday!“

“It was my first time here and the food and service was amazing, will definitely be back“

“This was our first time eating at the restaurant and I called my order in for pick up. Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication in what I wanted, apparently FM is an abbreviation for filet mignon and I thought it was an abbreviation for family (larger) size. I’m only clarifying this in case somebody else didn’t know what FM stood for. The situation was resolved to our satisfaction. We ordered boneless chicken, biryani and mixed grill FM (also not to be confused with radio frequency🤣, just kidding of course after all it's a restaurant) and it came with hummus and pita bread. The food was delicious and we truly enjoyed it. It was large portions that lasted for 3 meals. The inside of the restaurant was beautifully decorated, and I look forward to dining in sometime in the future.“

“very nice people. immaculate. modern decor. astonishing food. many dishes. extremely authentic. completely delicious. perfectly fresh. Everything made from scratch. highly, highly recommended!“

“shahi biryani-bolingbrook. no mirchi no namak , ordered today goat biryani family pack and kadai chicken. it looks there is difference in glendale heights and bolingbrook. biryani should be little more spicy but it was not.“

“The chicken shwarma tacos and spicy beef were outstanding“

“Oh my goodness, YUM!!! If you want delicious authentic food, huge portions, and a great deal on price?!? This is the place to go. I had 3 meals out of one plate. There was so much flavor! If I’m ever back in the area, this is the place I’ll be going to again.“

“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.“

“Delicious, fresh, and fast! Lots of vegetarian/ vegan options and fantastic value!“

“Excellent food, specially Halwa Puri.“

“Everything was so delicious and yummy. My wife and I went to kolachi from wisconsin just to eat the best briyani and haleem. As always, I have the best experience.“

“My wife and I have been looking for a Middle Eastern restaurant to dine at and we have always driven past Shahi Nihari & Chopsticks but never ate there. Today we stopped by with zero expectations and we were blown away with the amazing food that was served to us. We ordered from the lunch special, which was very reasonably priced and we were happy with our meals. The kabobs were well-cooked, the Samosa Chaat was immensely flavorful. This is now our favorite spot in terms of flavor per dollar and due to its vicinity in the Villa Park area. Just when we thought our taste buds had enough, the manager recommended we try the Falooda and it was super delicious. We couldn't be more pleased with our overall experience at Shahi Nihari & Chopsticks. Going forward we will be repeat customers and I highly recommend you try them out. Thank you!“
