Sabri Nihari Restaurant

“Huge quantity, excellent quality, nominal pricing, Tasty food.”

Huge quantity, excellent quality, nominal pricing, Tasty food. We ordered 1 mutton biriyani and 1 fallooda. We had left overs and couldn't finish as enormous quantity was given. Restrooms were clean. They had prayer mats to pray inside. Kids friendly. Cons: * Wish the service providers knew English, otherwise they were great. * Parking was a problem-we paid for Parking and walked to the restaurant.

“Sabri Nihari definitely stands out in its quality, taste and generous servings size.”

Sabri Nihari definitely stands out in its quality, taste and generous servings size. The first time I entered the place I couldn’t ignore its ambience and great manner of service. We ordered beef haleem and Nalli nihari with naan to go. Each of the dishes were enough for two people. Taste was extraordinary and flavorful. Their food has authenticity and would definitely visit again.

“Sabri Nihari truly lives up to its reputation — hands down the best Pakistani restaurant in the USA I’ve tried so far.”

Sabri Nihari truly lives up to its reputation — hands down the best Pakistani restaurant in the USA I’ve tried so far! We ordered a wide variety of dishes, and every single one of them was exceptional. The lamb chops were tender, juicy, and perfectly spiced. The beef nalli nihari was rich, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth good — exactly how authentic nihari should be. The goat brain masala was beautifully cooked with just the right balance of spice and texture. The lamb biryani was aromatic and full of flavor, with every grain of rice infused with deliciousness. Their laccha paratha and onion chili naan were fresh and flaky, perfect for pairing with the curries. Both the mango lassi and mint lemonade were refreshing and complemented the meal perfectly. We ended our feast with rasmalai, which was soft, creamy, and the perfect sweet ending to such an indulgent spread. To top it all off, their chai was out of this world — rich, perfectly brewed, and full of authentic flavor. The service was great as well — attentive, polite, and prompt. Can’t wait to go back again!

“I tried Sabri Nihari for the first time.”

I tried Sabri Nihari for the first time. Some dishes were a bit spicy for me, but I really enjoyed every dish. We started with a soda called Pakola, which was good, and also had some fancy non-alcoholic drinks with bubbles on top. For food, we ordered Chicken Biryani, their special beef dish Sabri Nihari in rich gravy, and Chicken Kabobs. For dessert, we had Faluda, Ras Malai and chai tea. The portions were big, so we left full and happy and even took some food home. The servers were very friendly and attentive.

“Food is amazing. Beef Nihari and Mutton Biriyani were tasty and flavorful. Portion was generous....”

Food is amazing. Beef Nihari and Mutton Biriyani were tasty and flavorful. Portion was generous. Naans were big and good too. Biriyani is enough for 2 persons and Nihari also can be shared with 3 people. At last tried Faluda and that was good too. It's a bit pricey place and ready to spend at least $20 person. There is something I read that if number of people is 5 or more, they will add 18% table service fee or something like that. Parking is extremely difficult in Devon street. So I recommend park in the Republic of Chicago Bank parking lot with their hourly parking fee which is about 7 minutes walking.

“It is busy restaurant and parking is very difficult .”

It is busy restaurant and parking is very difficult . If you are going on the weekend then very rare chance to get the parking . Anyway we drove 50 minutes to pick up our order first we called them to place an order but after calling several times no one answered the phone . Food was delicious specially nihari and haleem . Chicken beriyani was just ok . I came from Tucson Arizona and my son in law told me to check their food . Overall i will give 5 stars ⭐️ to thus restaurant.

“If you’re craving authentic Pakistani flavors in Chicago, Sabri Nihari is a must-visit.”

If you’re craving authentic Pakistani flavors in Chicago, Sabri Nihari is a must-visit! We tried the Kadhai Gosht, Nalli Nihari, Sabri Nihari, and Mixed Grill Platter — every dish was packed with rich spices, perfectly cooked, and served fresh. The Sabri Nihari lived up to its legendary name — tender meat in a flavorful, slow-cooked gravy. The Kadhai Gosht had the perfect balance of heat and aroma, while the Mixed Grill Platter was a juicy, smoky dream for meat lovers. The ambience was classy yet cozy, with traditional touches and a welcoming vibe. Great service and generous portions made it a complete experience. Highly recommend for desi food lovers!
