Sabri Nihari Restaurant

Stunningly good food. This is a pricier place to eat than many Indopak restaurants but it is well worth it. It is a cleanly establishment and the staff are kind and attentive. The way to order here is to share - you can order things for yourself if you really want to, but the dishes are meant for the table and are very rich. You're unlikely to finish something here by yourself.Yet another great culinary experience on Devon, solidifying the South Asian food scene as my favorite in Chicago. This place is a must!

The management has a did a lot of hard work on the interior side which I will give them definitely five stars; what they really have to work on some of food items. Some of their food items are excellent particularly "Nihari"is definitely a very good item. The appetizers are not so good-so skip appetizers . especially the chicken pakora is not good. I have tried chicken pakora at anmol-It was very good fresh. I'm not convinced with their barbecue items. the only items I would try and recommend to everyone is butter chicken, frontier chicken. Go for it!!Sometimes you get the biryani fresh; sometimes it's not fresh. It is a fact. I could tell the biryani by looking at the appearance and through the ricegrains.There are some of the items which we ordered: we felt it was already been cooked, and then they just reheated the food in the microwave upon our orderhowever overall we give them three stars because the management deserves investment they have done for interior. Now They have to focus on their CuisineI'm looking forward to award them five stars on my next visit when they really work very hard on their cuisine part

For years, the whispers of Sabri Nihari's legendary nihari (slow cooked beef stew with bone marrow) had reached my ears. Nestled in Chicago's vibrant Devon Street neighborhood, this Pakistani restaurant promised an authentic taste of the subcontinent. Stepping into the spacious, impeccably clean dining room, I was greeted by a menu brimming with South Asian specialties. My mission, however, was singular: the nihari.The nihari ($16) arrived, a steaming revelation. This slow-cooked beef stew, rich with aromatics and thickened with whole wheat flour, was a symphony of textures. The beef, fork-tender and deeply flavorful, melted in my mouth with each bite. The accompanying broth, a perfect balance of savory and spice, was perfect for soaking up with the pillowy folds of freshly baked naan ($2 each). While the portion appeared generous, it skewed broth-heavy, offering a few substantial pieces of beef.Sabri Nihari delivered a thoroughly satisfying nihari experience. It may not have dethroned a cherished Dubai favorite, but it stands proudly alongside the best offerings in my hometown of Southern California. For those seeking a taste of Pakistani comfort food in a welcoming atmosphere, Sabri Nihari is a must-visit.

A bit of a drive from downtown but the food was nice. Had the nihari biryani and chicken Saak. Nice flavors and good quantities. Service was fast. Ended with the falooda which was nice. They sat us away from the locals not sure why but it was a nice quiet place.

Extremely comfortable and tasty. Prices were good too. We ordered four different items for two people and it came to 50 bucks including the standard 20 percent tip. Nice staff. Very clean. Nice atmosphere.

You want original Pakistani Faluda ? This is the spot for Faluda. Other than Faluda I can recommend Nihari and frontier chicken. It's a tough call between sabri nihari and Ali nihari.Expect Very loud atmosphere. Don't expect quite ambience during busy times.

Sabri Nihari Restaurant is a 25+ year favorite of ours for so many reasons. It's clean, all food flavors stay individual and consistent thru the years and service is excellent! We try other places but the path always leads us back to the reliable Sabri Nihari! They always meet our expectations with the generous portions of delicious food. Anything you order is going to be good! Naazir is an exceptional server here! Whenever we go we feel really good that's he's taking care of our table. We order a lot of entrees and he is always accurate with our orders and proactive to bring more water, napkins, extra plates etc... He checks on us several times to be sure we have everything we need. Service here is always good with everyone but ask for Naazir's section - he takes extra personal care to be sure you and your family enjoyed the meal!

Went here with friends last night. We got there early and it was nice that it was quiet. But there was no music!The food here is fantastic, and everyone working is professional. However, one of the waiters had so much cologne on that I could still smell it through the bold flavors of my food. When I left, I could smell it on my clothes. Perhaps it would help if his friends educated him on how to properly wear the cologne so that it is only noticeable within a few feet of his presence. I found it interesting that sodas came out in a can without a glass of ice, and there were no options for hot beverages such as tea. I stuck with water. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed what I ate, but I have the feeling I am going to love the leftovers even more. There won't be the smell of cologne mixed with my food. Definitely worth checking out. You get a lot of food for the money.

Sabri has been remodeled and it's one of the finest looking restos du monde. The cuisine is exquisite! The service is impeccable! One of the finest restos du monde. My favorite dish is Kharahi Ghosht! It's similar to boeuf bourguignnon in France! Highly recommended.

This was our second or third visit to Sabri Nihari and it is always delicious. There are many vegetarian options which was good for me. I accidentally left this review in draft forever!
