I've been going to the location on Devon since I was like 6. First time coming to this location. Lady at the front counter seemed passive aggressive initially but she was actually really nice. Not a long wait for food either. I ordered the chilli chicken biryani which is a popular dish at the Devon location. Lots of food, price was decent too. Now here's the reason why I'm giving this place two stars. As my buddy is sitting at the booth eating, i notice something strange on the wall. Walking. Towards him. It was a baby cockroach. We stopped eating the second we saw that and walked out. I paid for a mango lassi to go, but after seeing the little critter on the wall I changed my mind. Not going to go on about cleanliness, but seeing a roach in a food establishment is a big no from me. 2 stars for the nice customer service, but also 2 stars for finding out about the roaches AFTER I ate my food. I get it, some people may not be bothered by this...I have no issue with that, so long as those people are not running restaurants themselves. read more

I usually come here for the lamb biryani. As wonderful as it is, today the quantity of meat was a little less than normal. Besides that, the food tasted great. read more

Incredible service and hospitality, I was immediately welcomed when I entered the building today and I had the best time trying the food! Delicious read more

When you're tired and don't feel like cooking, this is the place to go! It's a super casual Pakistani diner with a wide selection of dishes. They offer everything from Butter Chicken and Achar Gosht to Daal, Bindi, Haleem, Nihari, Chili Chicken, and much more--all under $15 each. You can pair your meal with naan, garlic naan, paratha, or rice. On weekends, they also serve Halwa and Puri, though I haven't tried it yet. The seating area is open until 11:30 pm. Here's everything I've tried along with my rating: 5/5 Nihari with garlic naan 5/5 Chicken Biryani 5/5 Daal and Rice 5/5 Chili Chicken with Paratha 5/5 Aloo Palak 5/5 Chana Masala 4/5 Green Chili Chicken with Paratha 1/5 Butter Chicken (I don't love their butter chicken- it does not taste like butter chicken to me) The staff is always friendly! Ibrahim, the cashier I see often, is super sweet and accommodating. read more

Food was excellent. We had the butter chicken, butter paneer, vegetable simosas and plain naan. Food came out quickly was hot and perfectly spicy. Huge portions and most importantly everything was delicious. Do yourself a favor and check these guys out. read more

Decent hole in the wall kind of place. The person at the counter is quite nice and helpful. Quantity is top notch, the quality suffers a bit, I guess with the bulk cooking. The interiors could be improved, but then, hey they have Ghareeb (poor) in the name, so don't have too high hopes for a classy sit-down place. read more

This is the suburban location of their main branch on Devon Ave. If you like the location and the food on Devon Ave you will love this one. Exact same menu of Pakistani and Indian halal food. They are open late and located in a strip mall off a busy street and have plenty of parking. They have fast food style setup. You will place the order at the front counter and pay on the spot. Once the food is ready they will call out your order and you can pick it up. They have a decent seating area. I would rate their food in decent to good range. Their prices are the best when it come to the Desi food. Fr example their chicken biryani is $7 with a generous portion size. Something similar at their competitor May cost you $12. In addition to the chicken biryani I would also recommend their chili chicken. While you are there make sure to order the pratha along with naan. read more

Very affordable food. Very delicious. Plus the place is easy to find parking and the food comes right away

I could eat this food every day until i die and I'd die happy. There's nothing better after a long day than a nice big bowl of palak paneer or butter chicken to fill you up and make you happy. Always clean too and with friendly staff. If you haven't eaten here yet it needs to be next on your list read more

Checked out Ghareeb Nawaz for the first time and the food here is really good! Ordered the Boneless Chicken Biryani with a side order of Garlic Naan. The chicken was very tender and cooked to perfection, with just the right blend of spices and rice. The Garlic Naan was also huge and paired perfectly with our meal. One thing that stood out to me was their generous portions! They give you so much at such a good price and they even have lunch special pricing at just $4.99. It's rare to find such a good deal noways especially for the quality and quantity of food you get here. The portions were so generous that I had enough leftover for 2 more meals. The restaurant has indoor seating and they are open til 12AM every single day. Service is really good here and we were able to get our food super quickly. They have a wide variety of dishes to choose from with generous portions and unbeatable value. Will be back for more! read more

First time ever coming here was amazing! The workers made sure to make our first time wonderful and even offered us a free sample of their delicious samosa. Although the Restruant was freezing the warm it didn't bother me much. Would try again read more

Food is inexpensive, great deals for the money, and great options! This is always a favorite to stop by. The flavors are great and portions are good size. read more

We drove 30 minutes out of our way home to try the food here based on an online recommendation. It was so worth it. The butter chicken and chili chicken were so good. It is one of the best meals we have had so far this year. Also the price for all of it was so economical. I know we will head back as soon as we can. So worth the trip! read more

This is a great no frills casual place to have a simple meal. Everything is made fresh and portions are generous. They offer so many specials. If you go before noon, some plates are $1 - $3!!! Also has several weekday plate specials $4.99 (as of 10/16/21 the date of this review). The chicken biryani we ordered was packed enough for 2 people easily and had plenty of chicken pieces. They actually have several kinds of Biryani not just chicken. The puri's with the halva were more like batoori's (thicker and tastier than puri's - see my picture) and a good size. The egg omelette paratha platter was very good as well. We really loved the shami's. They had a very good flavor and they used a good amount of beef in them. We also took home a dozen tandoori naan as they only charge $1 each and are the same size as all the restaurants that over charge! Great casual place to eat or take out. Great variety of items for everyone including vegetable and meat dishes. Owner is super friendly and cares that you enjoy the food. read more

Tried the chicken tikka masala with paratha, wasn't very impressed, it had a lot of red color and tasted like an ordinary chicken and gravy. I heard their lam biryani is a speciality but it was finished so we couldn't try! The ambience was not that great, but similar to what most desi restaurants are like, no decor, just meta tables and chairs. It was overall clean but seemed like someone recently mopped with a strong chemical so the whole place smelt like cleaning agent. Service was very fast though and they were nice to have us taste their mango lassi which was okay! read more

We tried Ghareev Nawaz, which I think means "Generous Stranger" or "Stranger Generosity" in Arabic (according to Google). We were looking for a place to get some chicken Marsala and butter chicken, and so we decided to stop by. I wasn't familiar with too many of the dishes, perhaps because I hadn't really had Pakistani food in the past. We did see the familiar butter chicken and ended up ordering two servings of that, the garlic Naan, and one serving of rice. The portion sizes were pretty epic, probably because we didn't order the combination plates, but it was a really good deal for $25. The rice was cooked well and super delicious! The naan wasn't quite as soft as I usually have had, but it was pretty fresh! And the butter chicken was okay, but maybe I'm more used to sweeter dishes. I don't think I'll order the butter chicken next time, but I'd be open to trying another dish, maybe based on the restaurant's recommendation. read more

They forgot the garlic naan from my order, which was not great. Other than that the food is absolutely delicious. I'm not a fan of the increased prices at the Lombard location whereas their other locations are still rocking the OG prices(as of Feb 2025). read more

My kids love chicken biryani and butter chicken. Our favorite place was closed so we tried Ghareeb Nawaz instead. It was outstanding and so reasonably priced! Butter chicken was creamy and nicely spiced. Chicken biryani was tender and the rice was excellent. I also tried the spinach and potato. It was spicy and delicious. Chapati were huge, warm and soft. We will definitely be ordering from Ghareeb Nawaz again! read more

The Lombard locatiom jacked up all prices. No more Ghareeb nawaz instead the prices are same as everywhere. Don't be fooled by the name

The prices at this place are not like the Chicago location unfortunately. They seem to be out of chicken biryani all the time and so you're forced to eat the boneless chicken. Although it's still really good, if sucks we can't get the cheaper option. read more

Oh, sweet Krishna, what have they done to the most marvelous Ghareeb Nawaz? Once, THE place Indian students would come to first before even unloading luggage, and then every day until earning masters degrees in computer science or chemistry, oh woe how expansion ruined quality. Brings tears to my eyes how mediocre the dal, the lamb biriyani, all my favorites have become at this location. This is a tragedy. read more

Delicious and inexpensive! My whole family enjoys going when we are at a loss to what to make for dinner!

I love this place the food is so delicious and it's so much food! The veggie plate had samples of all of the curries, rice, bread, and white sauce. We also got potatoes Samosa (not pictured) we ate them way to fast lol. The food is so affordable (less than $10 for a full meal), it's a perfect place for lunch. Last but not least the service is incredible, the owners here are so kind and they love to explain what is in each dish as well as sharing their recommendations. P.s If you are vegan this place has tons of delicious options! read more

This is a great food spot and the prices are great and the quality of the food is good for the price as well I would 10/10 recommend this spot for a quick bite or diner make sure you pair your favorite meal with their garlic naans! read more

Ghareeb Nawaz - 2023 inside menu - Indian Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

Very disappointing affair- we had biryani, parathas and chicken curry. Very bland food. Barely any chicken in the biriyani itself. Would suggest avoiding this place. read more

I got this the other night for dinner and had it delivered to my apartment. I have had a few different people talking about this place. They would always mention that it was cheap, but still good, so I thought I would give it a try. Upon getting it, everything was wrapped up nicely and was still hot when we opened it up. Butter Chicken- (4/5): this was the dish I ordered for myself and I'm glad I did. The sauce was very flavorful, which really shined through. The only reason I wouldn't make this a 5/5 is simply for the fact that the chicken was a tad over cooked. Chili Chicken Biriyani-(4/5): this is the dish my boyfriend ordered and let me have some to try. I was actually surprised on the taste throughout (especially if you add a little of the butter Chicken sauce). The only reason this one didn't hit it out of the ballpark was just that there wasn't that much chicken in it. Chapati- (5/5): I honestly never had this before so I was a bit skeptical l, however, was pleasantly surprised it if. I love how thin it was and has also been grilled of some sort. It went extremely well with the dishes we had. Overall, if you're looking for an inexpensive night and are crazing some Indian food, I highly recommend checking them out. My total came out to being around $25 bucks and I would definitely order it again. read more

No frills restaurant with affordable prices, a huge menu with large variety of options. We ordered Fish plate, Keema paratha, Frontier Chicken, Naan, Egg Paratha for dine-in and Boneless Chicken Biryani to go. Everything we ordered was brought out hot and freshly cooked. The surprising star of the order was the Fish, perfectly cooked and tender with the right amount of spices. Keema was delectable. Frontier Chicken was also very good. The Egg paratha brought back memories of home. Bone chicken biryani was very good as well. Would definitely be ordering/visiting again read more

Advertising chicken biryani special all day every day for 4.99 and being "out' by 4pm on a Saturday and offering boneless for 14 dollars feels like a bait and switch. Why pay 3x as much for lower quality meat? read more
