The Beef Bihari was authentically good and generously portioned. The Chicken boti was big boneless cubes of breast and flavored nicely along side 2 chutneys. We had the Haleem the next day.

4 Stars for Shawarma King in Gurnee…read more This is a pretty convenient location and directly across the street from Six Flags Great America, and also close to the 294 highway. The food I had was pretty tasty, I got to try the chicken and beef shawarma plate - very expensive but very tasty, big portion enough for 2 meals. I also tried the beef kifta kabob wrap with a side of falafel- delicious! They threw in an extra falafel as well, thanks! There is also plenty of seating inside if you want to dine in. My only negatives are they do not give free cups of water, you have to buy a bottle if you want a drink. And they only include one tiny cup of hot sauce with your order. Overall, it was a good experience, if you want Mediterranean and you're in Gurnee it's not a bad choice.

Years later, I found myself packing a cooler and making trips for whole goat, lamb, fresh chicken, and quality beef. All that being said, It is sooo nice to have super fresh, quality meat within reach now! This place is cozy, with a few isles of select Indian and Pakistani necessities like spices, naan, nuts, etc. It truly is all about the fresh meat. They will tell you when your meat came in and when they processed it. I'm usually not a fan of prepackaged goat, but theirs is fresh and perfectly cut in 2.5lb packs, thats perfect for curry night in our house. Their samosas and chicken and beef puffs at the counter are great take-home snacks. If you request the puffs ahaid of time, they will accommodate and make them for you.

My little brother and I were in the area, and he recommended this place since he had already tried…read moreit at another location. I decided to follow his lead, and we both ordered the tender slider meal with fries. We also paid extra for the cheese sauce for the fries. One thing I really like is that you can customize the spice level on the chicken tenders. That's especially nice for my wife because she's not a big fan of spicy food. While we waited for our food, I had a chance to check out the atmosphere. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, and they also offer outdoor seating. I really liked the graffiti-style artwork throughout the walls, which gave the place a fun and energetic vibe. The service was good, and we didn't have to wait very long for our food. Now, let's talk about the chicken tender--it was huge! It was actually bigger than the soft potato bun, which really impressed me. The tender was fully coated in their spice seasoning, giving it a nice red color. We ordered it hot, and I'm glad we did because the spice level was just right for us. The tender was drizzled with their signature sauce, which was creamy with a slight sweetness that helped balance out the heat. The slider also came with coleslaw and a pickle. Overall, the sandwich had great presentation, flavor, and texture. The crinkle-cut fries were pretty basic but had a light Cajun seasoning. The cheese sauce was creamy with a mild flavor that reminded me of nacho cheese. One thing I noticed is that the meal doesn't come with a beverage, which was a little surprising. Overall, I was really satisfied with the chicken slider. I'd definitely come back again, especially with my wife. The closest location to us is in the Schaumburg area, so I'm looking forward to bringing her along next time.

We have eaten at Dave's a few times. Food is tasty (my hubby always orders the chicken and I order…read morethe not-chicken). The not-chicken (cauliflower) is really good, especially at a hot spice level. Employees are usually very friendly and the place is always clean (sometimes it's a little sticky by the pop machine, but that is to be expected). My only complaint is that they need to crank the a/c in the summer because it gets very hot in there. Eating hot wings in a sauna is crazy.

In my two visits, the following is what I have ordered: 'What The Flame' burger Thai + Coconut milk tea with lychee & coconut jelly Cheeseburger Spicy BBQ wings Chicken Rice Bowl w/o their red sauce Hot Chick sandwich All the food was good. I liked all the dishes I tried. The What The Flame burger, Chicken Rice Bowl, and the Hot Chick sandwich were my favorites. The spicy bbq wings were well cooked, saucy, and had a good flavor but they weren't quite spicy. The Thai Coconut milk tea was decent. I like this place and will be going back again.

Baby, we started off on the WRONG foot. I came here with my family of eight, which I understand can…read morebe a little complicated for a restaurant, but honey, I made this reservation THREE WEEKS in advance. Three. Weeks. So I thought we were all set. Our reservation was for 6:00, and we arrived at 5:54. We were told to wait until six, which was perfectly fine. Six o'clock rolls around and we're told they're still cleaning the table. Okay, we wait. Then we wait. And wait. Thirty minutes later, we find out the people who had the table STILL hadn't even left. Baby...what exactly were we reserving three weeks ago, a future dream? They offered us a complimentary appetizer, which I appreciate in theory, but when you've got a party of eight waiting 40 minutes past their reservation time, I'm not really looking for the cheapest appetizer on the menu. I'm looking for the table I reserved. Eventually, we were seated, and thank GOD for our server Alexis B, because they completely turned the experience around. Funny, knowledgeable, incredibly kind, and genuinely one of the best servers I've ever had. If I could give them five stars separately, I would. They made us feel welcome and somehow kept the whole table laughing after that rocky start. The food had some hits and misses. The crab cake was a little too spicy for my taste, although the rest of the table enjoyed it. The mini sliders, however? DELICIOUS. That buttery, well seasoned bun was doing exactly what it needed to do. Then came my Entourage burger, and baby...THAT burger understood the assignment. It was absolutely packed with flavor. So good that I practically inhaled it. My server even asked if I wanted another one because apparently I ate it fast enough to qualify for a second round. Unfortunately, the management situation left a lot to be desired. After the issues getting our table, the managers seemed to keep watching our group throughout the night. If you're going to stare, baby, at least commit to the performance! It made an already awkward situation feel even more uncomfortable. Honestly, my server Alexis B, was the ONLY reason this experience ended on a positive note. They were so charming and personable that by the end, they felt more like a friend than a server. I'm genuinely going to miss them. The food was good, and that burger was fantastic, but a three-week reservation should not turn into a 40 minute wait with a party of eight standing around wondering when they're going to eat. So unfortunately, I'm leaving with two stars. The food gave me reasons to come back, but the reservation experience and management gave me reasons to stay home. And to my server: you were the star of the night. Protect this person at all costs.

I was going to get the platter for my family, since it takes the guessing out of figuring out what to get and provides variety. But I didn't care too much for chicken skewers and I actually wanted the lamb as well. So I made my own combination of two platters with extra skewers of beef and lamb koubideh. And then a domeh hummus platter with the dill rice (worth the dill, great flavor and good texture for the rice) and a cucumber salad on its own. I really liked the bread that comes out it was hot hot, and was excellent. The portions are huge - it's like getting served a med pizza pan of meat and rice. The pictures probably don't describe how large the portion is, but I think it's really good value. The dining room is nicely decorated, I appreciate the furniture and the artwork. We did bring home two boxes worth of food. The beef and lamb koubideh is wonderfully cooked and it was steaming hot when it arrived at our table. What a sight! Great meal, we left really happy and full!

Being new to Algonquin, I was looking for an Indian-based grocery store. Yelp showed this store so…read moreI decided to take a gander. While this isn't a full blown grocery store from Indian vegetables to hot-steaming chapathi, it had the basics. They had plenty of pantry staples, i.e. rice and flour, tea to necessary munchies. They did have an order out menu that I did not take part in. The store was located in a plaza of other stores so parking is shared. We went on a Sunday afternoon and the area was busy and we were lucky to find a spot to park. There was minimal staff and we waited for someone to show up to pay for our items. I'll be on the look out for other grocery stores but I'll def. be back here when I need tea leaves in a pinch for chai!
