    Mama Special Pizza #2
    Isra A.

    This pizza was actually really good, if you're a pineapple on pizza hater you're free to try something else! But I think the combination of the 3 flavors worked really well together and the pineapple was key in blending the cheese with the spice. The food is prepared fresh so it does take a while, I would recommend ordering ahead! Also more of a takeout place but it's open later than most places in the area! Other items on the menu are good too but l'd recommend the pizzas for sure. Everything is halal!

    the inside of the restaurant

    We needed a quick bite to eat and were planning to go to Falafill, but it turns out Falafill moved inside the Woodfield Mall from its old location. My wife didn't want to spend time wandering around the mall, so then we tried Phoday. Well, Phoday was busy and had a wait, so we went to plan C-- Mama Maria. I had heard of Mama Maria since I try to keep track of halal restaurants. It's small inside; only three tables. Other than that it feels like a normal, greasy fast food joint. We ordered a chicken zinger burger and a 3-piece chicken tender. The zinger burger was not what I consider a zinger burger. It was large, which is nice, but it mostly had standard burger toppings and some orange sauce. To me, a zinger burger should have some sweet coleslaw and some spicy sauce. This was nothing like Mr Broast or Chi Tea. Not a bad sandwich, but can't say I was impressed. The tenders we thick and juicy, and cooked well. However, the breading didn't have much flavor. I guess you need to have a sauce with it. We had requested tzatziki sauce, but didn't receive any, so made due with ketchup. Not a bad place to grab a cheap bite, but this would not be one of my top choices in Schaumburg. Would recommend Vasco's, La Charanga, or Phoday instead...unless you really want something like pizza or wings.

    Slice of the Mama Supreme #3, All Meat Supreme. Large. ~$13.

    My husband and I wanted pizza to watch during a Bears game and were looking through our options we could order through Yelp. We came across Mama Maria Pizza and looking over their menu, everything looked normal until you see Bihari Kebab Sandwich out of no where. Their menu is half pizza-store classics and then Indian-American inspired food. We ordered take out via Yelp and we ordered two items. We ordered the Mama Supreme #3, all meat supreme large (~$13). It had crisped up pepperoni, little rounds of sausage and the spicy, tandoori chicken pieces. I was surprised with the flavor profile of the chicken but it worked with the pizza. If you like meat, then you'll enjoy this pizza.

    Mushy onion rings
    anne b.

    Save your money. OMG what a dreadful expensive mess this ordering adventure was. FIRST and LAST. The battered onion rings were what I was looking forward to. They came packaged in a plastic container - like you get a cold dessert "to go" in - and besides being over fried in nasty, old smelling oil, they were a solid mushy mess. I almost gagged. (See photo) The gyros sandwich was edible, however the meat wasn't sliced in thin strips but instead in fat chucks, like stew meat. I've been eating gyros since the 1970s and never seen meat (and not that much of it) sliced in chunks. Going to Brandy's next time. They charge more but food is dynamite and gyros are to die for. Got diarrhea after eating this. My boyfriend can address his food separately.

    the front of the restaurant

    How this place is still around is beyond me. Every time I order from here the service and the food is worst than before. Today I had to call 6 times before an answer. Then told they are out of this or that. So, pizza it is! Of course when I arrive to pick up my pizzas, guess what? They are not ready and 1 lonely Hispanic worker who I'll assume is grossly underpaid is working his ass off. Now I know why it took so long to answer the phone. Like most typical desi business owners, this place only cares about their bottom line, not the quality of food or service. Proof in point, it's 7% cheaper if I pay cash because they don't want to absorb the cost of a card transaction. Oh well though, cause stupid muslim consumers like me will keep coming because, you know...HALAL.

    Chicken Nuggets & Chicken Wings
    Jawwad S.

    For a zabiha halal place, this spot is actually pretty good! Only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because they cheap out on the meat on the pizza and sandwiches. My go to items are spicy gyros pizza, chicken wings (hot and/or mango habanero), chicken nuggets, or a spicy gyros sandwich. All of these items are top notch delicious! This is literally the only place you can get "American" food that is zabiha halal in the Schaumburg area.

    Consider me a fan! This joint is conveniently located just down the road from Feed My Starving…read moreChildren. It makes for a perfect post - pack hang. The food definitely stands out in terms of quality. It is most comparable to places like Canes , with the chicken/fries/toast combo. However they excel in comparison with their dirty sodas and other food offerings. The fries, cheese curds and Texas toast are all delicious snack options. Everything comes out hot and cooked to order. The portions are a good size and it all tastes fresh. The dirty sodas were a fun thing to try out. During my visits, I tried the "Toasty Marshmallow" (Mr Pibb) and the "Float On" (Barqs) . Both are sweet combinations and are fun treats. There's a lot here that makes them stand out from most fast-casual places and overall provide a quality dining experience.

    Finally made it to Minnie Bird after recommendations from several people. The general consensus I…read morehave been hearing is there's good quality, tasty food, and unique flavors in the dirty sodas and lemonade. And who wouldn't love a free ice cream cone while you wait, or after your meal? I thought it was unique that in addition to vanilla there was a banana cream flavor. The gals at the counter shared they try to switch it up. I loved the size of the tender meals offered and generous portion that stretched to two meals for me. Interesting, the cole slaw was the highlight of my meal, with the fresh flavor and complimented the tenders and crinkle fries well. My lime, coconut dirty soda tasted like vacation in a diet coke and I wanted to add a shot of rum to it! Friendly service and a short wait time were much appreciated, as I ordered my food to go. My husband's hot Nashville chicken sandwich was tasty and just the right amount of heat for him (but too hot for me)!

    Tried New Freezeland for the first time and everything was so flavorful and fresh! My favorites…read morewere the BFL sandwich, pani puri & dahi chutney puri, Chinese bhel, Manchurian, and the creamy Kit Kat shake, all of them were unreal. Everything came loaded with that classic Amul cheese which made it even better. We also tried the bhakhri pizza, ultimate veggie burger, mix sauce pasta (pink sauce), Amdavadi aloo masala sandwich, Rolijis club sandwich, Indian veg fusion crunchwrap, plus the spicy guava mojito, Shikanji, and the BPK badam pista kesar shake. Everything was delicious, cheesy, and so satisfying. The service was amazing, and the staff made the experience even better. Highly recommend checking this place out, especially since they're even open late during Navratri, perfect for post-Garba cravings!

    Desi Vegetarian joint. I feel it's way better when I compare it with Honest…read more Hands down the best desi white sauce pasta I have had in a while. Indio Chinese is good, definitely recommend. Pav bhaji was below par, but my expectations for pav bhaji is very high. With chaat I feel I loved their dahi puri, it is brought out as soon as it was ready. With sandwiches loved their aloo sandwich, mexican twist burger. Twice we have gone there for good family dinner. I feel the only issue I had is with once they allowed me to order food at the counter and pay later and then the second time we were there the guy wanted money upfront I felt like I am not going to runaway. Overall a positive place, good location and perfect desi taste. Will visit them again.
