“On my way back, I picked up the Chicken Mayo Garlic Roll and the Beef Bihari Roll from Hot N' Spicy Chicago. The Chicken Mayo Garlic Roll was quite enjoyable, with a well-balanced flavor and satisfying texture. However, the Beef Bihari Roll fell short of expectations—the meat was overly soft, bordering on mushy, and seemed to lack substance. It felt as though it was filled more with a spiced masala paste than actual meat. While the spice level was agreeable, the overall execution of the roll left room for improvement.”
“Tried beef behari roll and chicken Mayo Garlic roll. Both were fantastic. Paratha is perfect, not too greasy but still the legit paratha. The place is cozy and clean, staff is super friendly. Service is quick!”
“Best Bun Kabab in town Mayo Garlic roll is amazing going every day now”
“I had high expectations for this restaurant, given its reputation as a franchise from Pakistan, but unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was off-putting—taped-up decor, exposed wiring, and a general lack of upkeep made the place feel neglected. To make matters worse, the restrooms were out of service, adding to the overall discomfort. The service was even worse. The staff was extremely rude, and a simple request to get the fries (which were clearly mentioned as part of the special) was met with attitude. As for the food, the parathas were drenched in oil, making them almost inedible. Overall, this was a pathetic experience, and I highly doubt I’ll be returning. If you’re expecting the same quality and hospitality as the original Pakistani franchise, this place will only leave you disappointed.”
“We were 3 and had bagara Khana khorma Dal, chicken biryani and chicken Tikka it was so delicious I just loved it. Everything was 10/10 surely you should visit”
“Straight up fire. Pulled up late on a Friday and got the chicken tikka wrap, masala fries, and mango lassi—whole thing ran me about $18 and was worth every penny. The wrap was juicy, spicy, and grilled just right. Fries hit the spot too. Staff was cool and quick, even tho it was busy. This place is def my new go-to after work. If you’re in West Ridge, don’t sleep on it.”
“Their service is really good and the food taste delicious specially burns road bun kebab and mayo garlic roll. Must try”
“Successfully satisfied the Karachi street food cravings 🥹🥹🤩🤩 Ordered behari boti roll - the spice level and paratha was so good. Burns bun kabab was also so good.”
“Amazing food! Authentic pakistani food taste. My go to place if I am craving desi food.”
