Shahi Nihari and Chopsticks

Loved this place.No idea why the reviews are so low. The service was great, the waiter was kind and polite when we asked questions. The food was both timely and delicious. The chicken fried rice is not the typical you're used to, it was awesome. The Hot n Sour soup is perfect not too spicy not too mild. Overall we really enjoyed this place 10/10 if I'm in the area I'm coming back for sure!

Been by several times - this time I was headed home and decided it was a good opportunity to grab a takeout order so I did. A bit of an odd offering as the menu has Indo-Pak, Chinese and American options - burgers and such.Perused the menu and decided to get the Chicken Qorma. At $16.99 I got about 6 pieces of small to medium sized chicken, two of which were mostly bones. Gravy/sauce was good - had a little kick to it, but not over the top. Also ordered some basmati rice to go with it - that was $5.99 and was more than enough - still have some in my fridge, was very good. I ordered some naan as well - the host was trying to upsell me on two pieces - the single order is quite a large (long) piece - one was fine. Pretty good as well.The order did suffer a little from the 20+ minute ride home - would have been better at the restaurant. Given the dearth of Indo-Pak restaurants in the west burbs, I'll likely go again, but I have had better Indian food in the city and at a place in Bloomingdale that sadly closed after some 30 years.

Yes! Good, reliable nihari, good biryani, decent kadahi gosht served in an actual kadahi, great grill platters. We always experience consistency when we come here. We mostly come with a large group and order a boatload of stuff, more than we can handle. The service is always quick and careful. The drinks are awesome(mocktails). We always get their mojitos, which I will argue, aid in digestion. We have also had their brunch which is equally delicious. Grilled items are actually grilled as in smokey, not flat top griddle. Nothing tastes old or reheated (I've had that in proper Indian/Pakistani restaurants..you can't fool me guys). On that note, clean silverware, tables, and glasses too! Do not sleep on their "Chopsticks" menu items. I love their Thai vegetable curry, chili garlic shrimp, burnt garlic fried rice, and other items. They do have plenty of vegetarian items as well. The place is nice and clean. There is plenty of space too. Oh, and don't forget to try their falooda!

If you like food with your oil then this is the place to come. Everything was coated in or drowning in oil. I know Indian food has a tendency to be very oily but this place beats them all. The owners need to fix this and be more conscious of people's health. Not coming back.

Not sure why the reviews are so low but I've been heremultiple times over the years and they're a classic spotfor desi people in the Chicagoland area for a reason.Some of the best Indo-Chinese food I've ever had andtheir service is nice and quick. You can't go wrong withyour choices most of the time and their buffets are good, but we stick with the indo chinese options because you can't get that quality and taste elsewhere. The ambiance is nice, pretty packed most of the time. Big portions too!

I placed an order today via call and it went through. Telling me it will be ready in 20 min i came and pick it up and i was told there was no order! This indian restaurant are terrible in getting orders to pick up or delivery! This ja not the only firat time it happened but it seems like Indian restaurants are just hard to place an order every weekend! Terrible terrible terrible experience!

This place has me flummoxed. Let me explain.Entering the place, the aroma of Indian food hits you, it was great. We were well received and seated in the middle of the hall. The server was super friendly and had many suggestions and recommendations. We picked one of those for starters, the Chicken Samosa and Tea. We were hungry af and so when the samosa came in, we started devouring it with a passion, only to realize that the chicken inside was bad!!!! The smell hit me at once. The server was embarrassed and he took it all away and promised to bring me vegetable samosa's instead. Another 15 mins of toe tapping and stomach rubbing got us vegetable samosa's... again devour and then realized that the potato filling inside was still frozen!!! Lol. At this point in time all I was sipping on was tea, and let me tell you it was fabulous! So we told our server to forget appetizers and get us the actual entrees. So then came the mix grill platter and chickens biryani.... And oh boy! The kabob in the mix grill platter were divine! Tasted exceptional and my palettes were dancing with joy and stomach finally stopped growling at me. The biryani rice was fantastic too, but will say was mild when it came to the medley of spices. To me Biryani is rich in mix of various spices and the aroma of rice, that was missing here, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. We forgot the bad experience from just a few mins back with the samosa!!We ended the dinner with falooda which was awesome too. So there you go... the reason I was flummoxed, salta eyes very bad but ended with a bang! Would I recommend this place to anyone else... maybe!!!

We had a large variety of dishes from Thai curry vegetables to goat biryani, grill platters, chili chicken kadai gosht and mire. We all thoroughly enjoyed each item. The mojitos were refreshing and bright. Ended with amazing faloodas. Great service, clean We will certainly be back!

Good options if you're looking for a thousand different pakistani takes on traditional or Chinese fusion food. Chargha chicken is top notch

Food here is Excellen! I ordered a lunch special and dined in, service was great, atmosphere warm and welcoming, the chicken 65 and kebab was so good I ordered the same thing to go to have for dinner! Definitely will return!
