“Taste wise, I’d say it wasn’t the best Bangladeshi goat biryani I’ve had, but it wasn’t bad either”

My brother and I had just landed in Chicago and we were already craving some masala chicken. We googled and found the place and thankfully it was close to our hotel . The food is excellent, and the owner /manager offered us to try some butter chicken which was delicious as well. The staff is amazing , very friendly and polite. we felt very welcome . At the end he offered us some chai tea , very kind gesture from him. Check him out ! Great place and delicious food

“The food at this restaurant was amazing and the staff were really friendly.”
The food at this restaurant was amazing and the staff were really friendly. The lassi and chicken 65 were really good. The big parking lot in the back is really convenient. There is also a Masjid in the basement. If you are in the area on Fridays, this is a nice spot to pray Jummah and grab food. Truly a hidden gem in downtown.

“I have been driving taxi and uber for past 15+ years in Chicago and Indiana area.”
I have been driving taxi and uber for past 15+ years in Chicago and Indiana area. There is vegetable items really is true hidden gem, especially during the lunch time right when they bring it off fhe stoves I love it with Chapati or white rice. I always get vegetables dishes it’s honestly so good and tastes just like home. Bhindi bhaji, aloo palak, and other vegetable dishes. I been eating here since they opened I finally take my time to write this because the vegetables dishes never disappoints me!! A HUGE PLUS IS THEY GOT A BIG Parking Lot! MASJID/MOSQUE IN THE BASEMENT!!

Cant recommend this indian place more, they got great food and a warm hospitable service, their chicken biryani was delicious, and the chai was perfect. Let alone the fact that they have a mosque in the basement making it super convenient. Cant ask for anything more.

“A literal of don't judge a book by its cover .”
A literal of don't judge a book by its cover . We were just roaming around and we came up on this place . Quite a simple looking place . A simple menu with freshly cooked meals in large trays . We ordered the biryani and chicken curry with chic peas which came with water , tea , and a roti included . A great package deal . Water included in packaged drinking water and nice hot masala Indian chai . If you are passing by I would definitely recommend to go have a cup of chai
