“Halwa puri, Haleem 🇵🇰 & Iranian Tea are the MUST TRY items.”
Halwa puri, Haleem 🇵🇰 & Iranian Tea are the MUST TRY items. For karahi & Biryani they need to improve little bit. Karahi needs to have less gravy than Aloo Gohst. Tandoori Chicken is more likely indian style Tandoori, for Pakistani customers they need to offer Karachi style tikka. Bihari kabab is missing from the menu, paratha roll(Bihari) will be a game Changer. FYI, Faisal always give best customer service. 5 🌟 for Faisal & Iranian Tea.

Let me tell you something—when a restaurant has a constant flow of people coming in for takeout, you just KNOW it’s the real deal. And this place? It’s not just busy; it’s a full-on flavor phenomenon. From the moment we walked in, we could feel the energy—locals picking up steaming hot bags of food, the aroma of sizzling spices in the air, and that unmistakable hum of a place that’s ALWAYS in demand. And after one bite, we understood why. The Karahi? Unreal. Tender, juicy meat bathed in a thick, perfectly spiced gravy that had us wiping our plates clean with fresh, buttery naan. The Garlic Naan? Pure magic—crispy, fluffy, and packed with that rich, roasted garlic punch. But the real showstopper? The ALOO PARATHA. Hands down, the BEST we’ve ever had. Golden, crispy, and loaded with the most flavorful, well-seasoned potato filling imaginable. Paired with their yogurt and chutney? Absolute perfection. Every table was packed, every other person was grabbing takeout, and the kitchen was working nonstop to keep up with the demand. And honestly? We get it. This isn’t just food—it’s Pakistani soul food at its finest. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out. Do yourself a favor—skip the usual spots, grab a plate (or a takeout bag), and prepare to have your taste buds blown away. Chicago’s best Pakistani food is right here.

“What a great place.”
What a great place. While we were waiting for our food to be prepared, people were constantly coming in and getting take-out. That's a sign the food is good. Well, we weren't disappointed. The chicken was moist and flavorful, not dried out like other places. The rice was so tasty and there was so much of it. Fresh naan was awesome too. We will be back. Thank you for wonderful dishes.

“The irani chai was the best!”
The irani chai was the best!! They are known for that. I also recommend the omelette paratha and halwa puri plate! The keema and aloo paratha was okay

Excellent food, halwa poori really hit the spot 😋 irani chai and mango lassi were also really good. Place is a small sit down so ambience is a bit lacking but food makes up for it.

“I craved for Indian food tonight and ordered naan, beef samosa, and Paneer Makhani.”
I craved for Indian food tonight and ordered naan, beef samosa, and Paneer Makhani. Great and quick service. Paneer Makhani sauce was rich and tasty. Samosa was pricy though - $1.5 for a little Damosa? Overall, a great casual place for a quick bite.

I can easily calim I'm one of their first ever costumers and probably one of the most loyal ones too! This restaurant made me a huge fan of Pakistani food. The veggie Samusa with the red ritta is the best thing ever. I alos love the chicken Makni and Frontier Chicken Rice and Kabob Parata. Everything is delicious here. I'm so happy I've found this place. Absolutely a gem!
