    Chicken seekh kabobs
    Mahima V.

    Never thought a kabob shop in a nondescript strip mall would become one of my favorite restaurants! Started coming here two months ago and now I crave it often lol. The chicken seekh kabobs are massive and packed with flavor. It is way better than the ones you find in the freezer section of a grocery store. The chicken boti is spicy and juicy. I like how both dishes come with a side salad. The chicken biryani (not pictured) is delicious and spicy. The Paranthas are massive and easy for multiple people to share! I love how this restaurant serves high quality meat and truly goes big on their portions! Can't wait to return!

    PHENOMENAL!!! PHENOMENAL!!! Truly PHENOMENAL!!! My mother is Punjabi Pathan, so she is VERY particular about certain delicacies such as Chapli Kabab, and since it is not offered on many menus we only ever make it at home. It was the Chapli Kabab being offered on the menu that made us come here, and needless to say I was SUPER SKEPTICAL. Boy oh boy was I made into a believer. Both the hubs and I ordered the Char Chapli Kabab Burger - so that's a Chapli Kabab made of lamb meat. You can order the same kind of kabob in other protein offerings such as chicken or beef. My mother ordered a Beef Bihari Kabab entree, along with a salt lassi and a paratha. And lastly, my husband ordered the Lamb Bihari Kabab entree with a paratha, mostly to try, and take the rest home for lunch tomorrow. The Char Chapli Burger was ABSOLUTE perfection! The bun was toasted well, and there was a bright green sauce that tasted like a twist between mustard and Hari Chutney (mint cilantro chutney). But it was the actual Kabab patty that was PURE DELICIOUSNESS! Crispy on the corners, but not overdone in the middle, moist and juicy and charred to perfection - I was on seventh heaven with each and every bite. Mom's beef Bihari was also seasoned perfectly, she stated that she assumed it would be overly spicy as that's what she has encountered all other places - but that this Bihari kabab was seasoned without burning the mouth. Soft and melt in your mouth pieces of meat with an absolutely scrumptious paratha, that's how you do Bihari Kabab. My husband's lamb Bihari was the same. The salt lassi was also really good. They also offer Chelow Kababs, which (like the Chapli) are another delicacy of Northern Pakistan and/or Afghan food. We did not order those this time but I'll definitely be back to try those and the broast, and maybe the Masala Fries! Wait...why are you still sitting there reading this?? Go! Go and try them out...

    This is great place to come for very good fresh made to order food. We went at lunch time and ordered the lunch special for $6.99 and were totally satisfied. Very impressive and unique offering. Boti chicken kabob, rice, 1 shami, salad, and chutney. Everything came out hot and fresh. Chicken was excellent quality, taste and portion was perfect! The shami patty was well seasoned and very tasty. I felt like I had everything I wanted on that lunch plate! The chutney was very good and was delicious on the kabob. For this area, I felt this is a great place to go for anytime of day. You wait a little bit as they make everything fresh to your order which means it's going to be fantastic! Excellent quality food items, clean place, menu has nice variety of chicken, beef or lamb items and owner is super friendly and helpful with ordering. Definitely going back to try other items on their menu.

    I am always excited to try out new restaurants, but unfortunately this experience was quite a letdown. They are getting a 2.5 star rating because of poor customer service with decent food. The food is made fresh but they took about 40 minutes to bring out the first items and they were in small batches so everyone at our table of 9 started eating at practically different times. The biggest problem was that there was a hair in one of our burgers. When we told the manager he apologized once, replaced it with another burger (which was ready by the time everyone else was done eating and ready to go), and apologized once more afterwards. I think it's pretty standard to offer more than a simple apology, to at least mention to the customers that this has never happened before and that they will investigate and change how it did, and of course to offer a discount for the inconvenience. None of this was done and most people would give them a 1 star rating with this experience. Regarding the food itself, the traditional Desi food here was alright but the American food was mediocre. The Lamb Chapli Kabob Burger was too dry and heavily seasoned. The Hunter Beef Burger was dry as well but had a nice flavor.

We ordered mild because my husband doesn't like things too spicy (I love spicy foods) it came with a sauce we picked the buffalo sauce. When we got our order the tenders were definitely not mild.... Probably medium. They also gave us the 24k sauce so we had to exchange it for the buffalo sauce. Everything was great but the app automatically adds a tip... I only caught it because the total went from $14.99 to $19.99 and when I checked there was a $2 tip. So I removed it. They don't even bring your food to the table. So be aware if you're ordering on the app.

The first is the chicken sandwiches were both inedible because the chicken breast pieces were hard and undercooked. We ended up replacing the the tenders in the sandwiches and throwing out the chicken. Second the Mac and cheese tasted great a few weeks ago but today the sauce / flavor to macaroni ratio was way too high making the Mac and cheese also inedible. They really need quality control to prevent jn the future. I would have rated 1 star but I know they can do better so hoping they use this review to improve their chicken sandwiches and Mac and cheese. Will be getting only the tenders in the future.

They offer larger platters making it easier for everyone to share. They also have individual entrees as well. I'm not the biggest BBQ fan so I ended up ordering the hickory chicken sandwich. It was pretty good! I liked that they have multiple side options and went with broccoli. My order specifically was brought over maybe 15 mins after everyone else got their food. Our server did explain that the kitchen missed my item hence why it took longer. I appreciated the transparency, no problem. Everyone else enjoyed their shared BBQ platter + an order of their brisket. The platter they ordered says it serves 4-5 people and between 5 of them this was the perfect amount. They also had some left overs too.

Deli Time is the great cafe inside my office building (and inside many buildings in the 'burbs). A friend had told me about them and when I saw the truck recently at a food truck meetup, I was determined to try them right away. I was their first customer of the day (lucky me!) and the staff seemed really energetic and enthusiastic about their items. I love pulled pork morning, noon and night (minus the morning) so I had to get the Interstate BBQ sandwich. The Interstate is $7 and is a BBQ Pork Sandwich-hand seasoned pork shoulder, smoked for twelve hours, chopped, sauced, & served on your choice of bun (according to their menu). You can pick from a brioche roll or pretzel bread. You can also get the sandwich in slider form for just $3.50. I liked the sandwich an awful lot, ever so slightly dry but great flavor. It's left me wanting more! They have a Bacon chocolate brownie....Yea I'm going to need to get that the next time I get Best Truckin' BBQ. And oh yes, there will be a next time. The truck is stationed in Schaumburg and makes a lot of stops in the area - perfect for a weekday lunch for me!
