Pakistani Restaurants near Oak Park, IL

“First things first.,. WATCH YOUR STEP on the way in. It's posted, but if I could say nothing else, I would just say that.But I can totally say more. Service wasn't great at first. But it got better really quickly. This was my first experience with Indian food and it was really good to me. The dessert was meh but that's probably more my fault for not knowing what I was pointing at and not getting something to my preference because of it. I'm not holding the restaurant responsible for my ignorance.It was expensive. But of all the places I've been lately, it had good value for what we ordered.“

“The best chickens ever eaten in Chicago are here. A very kind and sincere person serves here. From today, if I want to eat halal kfc style chicken, I will definitely come here. Thanks for the sweet chickens. If you want to eat halal chicken, this is the right place. such sweet, tender and delicious chickens. Thank you very “

“This place was book-marked, on my radar, and then recommended by Pakistani friends so I figured it was a no-brainer. We were somewhat in the area and decided to make the trek to Devon to check it out. We got lucky in that we were seated at the last open table. It took a little bit for the staff to realize we needed a waitress but once that happened it was smooth sailing. The samosas were excellent to kick things off. Then the chicken tikka - which I saw another table order - was on the top of the list for me and didn't disappoint. And finally the Highway Paneer was very good but a little too spicy for the girls. Of course, I could have eaten their naan all day long. Very good food. Nice atmosphere. Excellent option if you are in the area.“

“Absolutely phenomenal south Indian food. We came in to dine in but had to get it to-go due to an emergency. The staff was super accommodating and the Veg Thali (sampler platter) was absolutely divine. My friends got the Mutton Thali and Chicken Thali and said it is some of the best food they've had in Chicago. Spice level is definitely on the hotter side of restaurants I've been to but that made for a great meal. Incredibly affordable too. At ~$15 per person and plenty of tasty leftovers that keep well, I'll definitely be making a point to return soon.“

“Hidden gem of Old Town!! I drive by this spot on the way to/from work and always see cars out front - finally stopped in last night and can see why. First of all, the place was filled at midnight with repeat customers which was a great sign. I was a little skeptical when I saw the prices on the menu as it was much more expensive than I expect from a counter serve restaurant, but when I tasted the food, I completely understood why. We had the daily special, the goat biryani, which was loaded with fall off the bone tender meat, flavorful sauce, and rice that was perfectly cooked. Our take out box was packed to the brim and we were easily able to split that meal into multiple leftover meals. I thought I may have just been extremely hungry the night before but even eating the leftovers today, I was blown away by the flavor. One of the best dishes that I've had. Not a fancy place at all, but everyone was friendly and they do have seating available if you want to eat in. Would highly recommend!“

“Ever since I found them on Grubhub, I have ordered their sweets for every birthday party and special occasion. I also order the samosas and egg rolls while I'm at it. I will say the prices are a little higher, but the quality is worth it. The last time I went into the shop, it was very clean, and the server was extremely pleasant. My husband enjoys their mango lassi, too. I tend to usually get the laddoos and barfis, but their milk cake is outstanding, too!“

“Sabri Nihari is a Pakistani food joint. That serves Nihari, a Pakistani beef (stew) dish that is loved by mostly all. A must visit place if you love Pakistani food. Their Bryani and Kabab fry are dishes that you would love to try. Also, the Mango Lassi is yummilishes. The servers at this restaurant are friendly and helpful. Their service is fast and the food takes you back home to the Orignal Sabri Nehari restaurant, that serves 100's of people daily. One last thing their portions are big.“

Overall its is a decent place with some things very good, and few things at par and some below parPlatter had 5 itemsTwo items were very good (malai chicken and tandoori)Pathar ka gosh was under par, dint taste like pathar ka gosht.Seekh kabab was just OKSides with platter (mayo and other sauces are pretty good)Chilli chicken- to be honest i could not figure out if this was chicken 65 or chilli chickenMutton biryani- this was the best of all the items i ordered.

“My bengali family and I have never had Indian food THIS good. Rashid was a wonderful server and even went and bought us a cucumber from a nearby store at my dad's request. We got SO much food for so cheap, and it was seriously amazing. DEFINITELY come here“

“Drove from Indianapolis, on a friend's recommendation. Trust me the time getting there and the money spend was all worth it. Very nice decor, clean restaurant, friendly staff but the food was the main STAR, succulent tender meat doused in flavorful meaty gravy, steaming hot naan bread and one of the best laccha paratha. I have been a great fan of Sabri'e Nihari but Ali bahi's NIHARI takes the cake, a million miles ahead when it comes to flavor, tenderness of the meat, and the portion size just was an amazing experience enjoying the meal. A great big thank you and wish you the best of success . In Sha Allah, we will see you soon.“

“Love this spot! They just remodeled the inside of the Lincoln Park location and it is beautiful! The service is great and the food is the best part of course. My favorite is their lamb tikka masala. They also have some of the best biryani I've ever had! Cant recommend the samosa and paneer Pakora enough!“

“Best Cafe on Devon! From the best Pakistani/ Indian dishes to the best fast food you’ve ever tried! The thing with Pakistani/Indian food with this restaurant is they offer you whatever they have made that same day making the items fresh. I’ve tried multiple places for the best cheeseburgers but nothing beats this restaurant! The Philly and the gyro are amazing too! Very well priced and the food is delicious! Do check them out you will not be disappointed!“

“This spot in Chicago is amazing, the food is so tasty and authentic I would love to bring my family here again and again. The beef sheesh kabobs are great and the aloo paratha were so fresh. The biryani was super tasty. I would definitely upgrade the furniture and ambiance of the restaurant. The service is great. There fried chicken is good!!“

“Great food, had the half tandoori chicken for $26. Their entrees come with rice and peppers plus onions. Perfectly charred with a soft marinated outside, perfect texture inside and out. Have had the Seekh kebab before here and have been to Lincoln park location multiple times always great.“

“First of all Very good service . Musab and Sanju are great.Their aaloo Samosas are the best .Surprisingly they make amazing burgers, My favorite is the Nash burger with fries , awesome sauce.Halwapuri ofcourse the review would be incomplete without it.And now they are HFSAA certified.May ALLAH give barakah.“
