My husband and I came in for a quick bite to eat. We did not take any pictures because unfortunately I left my phone in the car. The food we had was really good I had the Shish Kabob Sandwich, it came with two 10" kabobs that were made out of Halal ground beef, it was nice and spicy and full of flavor. A quarter of my plate was lettuce with raw onion (which I really love to eat on my sandwiches). There were Also two pieces of naan that were both about the same size as the plate. My husband had the Butter Chicken and he says it was good and unlike any other Butter Chicken he has tried in the past (other places make it with more of a tomato flavor). It also came with rice (he could choose rice or naan) The Shish Kabob meal includes rice or naan on the menu... but she told us that there is a separate charge for this. She said prices for Halal meat have gone up. She did not charge us this time but will next time and instead of $8.99 for the Shish Kabob meal, we were charged $9.99 which is not a big deal. They also automatically add a 15% gratuity charge to the bill. I have seen a charge like this at other restaurants for large groups but never just for me and my husband. If they don't include the naan or the rice I don't think it would be very filling, I would rather see them have an updated menu with the correct (increased) pricing which includes naan or rice. If this is not an option, at least tell us when we are ordering. If you plan on dining here I suggest asking for pricing if your paying with cash to make sure you have enough money with you. Other then that, we will be back! read more

Ordered the chicken biryani for delivery without reading the reviews. Big mistake. Paid a good chunk of money for this item and it was digusting. I always expect hot spices with any dish ordered from an Indian/similiar restaurant, but this was unnecessarily spicy. The chicken quality was no good and the dish reminded me of leftovers that had been in the fridge for days. Ate a few spoonfuls, had my husband try it to make sure it wasn't just me ( it sure wasn't) and threw the entire thing in the trash. Gross read more

Pita & Kabobz - Not even a piece of chicken in "Chicken Biryani" - Indian Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

The service has gone down immensely. They have new management that doesn't seem to care about business. Whenever we call to place a take out order, they're always out of everything but the chicken 65, which they constantly push on you. The other manager, the lady, was much more professional. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant anymore. read more

Had one of the best mutton biryani, I don't know how they do it but the mutton is not offensive at all, well balanced spices tender lamb. If you like lamb this is for you!!! read more

0 stars if I could. (1) My order was wrong and all of the chicken had bone in it. (2) The chicken curry I got was EXTREMELY oily - there was an inch of oil separated on the top when I got it. (3) The biryani was mostly white rice, not seasoned properly, and even contained a piece of cassia bark the length and width of my half my hand. (4) Everything was tremendously salty, even for Indian food. Also I have to now deal with getting charged twice. This place is sketchy in business practices and in their ingredients. I have deep, deep regrets about going to this place and spending any of my hard-earned money here. Stay far, far away. read more

Decided to give this place a try, after purchasing a Groupon. What a big mistake. This is what happens when I purchase deals online, without checking Yelp first. I had a Groupon for $20, so I ordered combo #4 (chicken, lamb, beef kabobs) and a side of some hummus and falafel. I went to pickup my order and was told they were under new management, so they no longer accepted Groupons. What!?! I just ordered $25 worth of food so I could use the deal... yikes. Annoying, but I was glad I was still able to get a refund on the deal. I probably wouldn't have been as annoyed if the food was good, but I was very disappointed. I love hummus & falafel, but was not a fan of the bland watery hummus and the dry falafel. The kabobs were hit or miss, as most of the pieces were large chunks of chewy overcooked meat. This continued onto the naan, which was cooked in a tandoori oven, but still managed to be a tough chewy mess. Sorrow... read more

Pita & Kabobz - beef, chicken, lamb kabobs - Indian Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Got a Chicken Biryani for TO-GO and was totally stumped, not at all happy! The rice was over cooked and has become mushy when we opened the box! Ordered it to be spicy, but it wasn't up-to the mark whatsoever is expected from an Indo-Pak restaurant! Heard good talk on this food joint from one of my friends, but didn't actually hit the mark! May be it's just one of those bad days! Will give a try one last time before I can update the review! read more

Went for dinner , found this place and it was Filthy, food was nasty. Will never recommended anyone. Unsanitary!!!!!! Food was cold, no taste, tables were dirty. Will never go again! read more

The lady was too greedy, she charges more and when asked she will refund half of it. The chicken biriyani is not tasty at all. The plates were not clean. read more

My client and I went for dinner and we loved this place. We ordered chicken curry and shrimp with garlic nan. I love Indian food and this restaurant cook really well. I highly recommend. Oh! The beer from India called Taji was so soft, my client doesn't enjoy beer but she also loved this flavor. read more

My coworkers and I frequent this place at least once a month. The food is extremely savory and prices are really reasonable. I've ordered a number of things here, but today I went with the lunch special. Your choice of two different kabobz (Beef, Chicken, Shish),or Chicken Shawarma, with rice or nann. I went with the Chicken Kabob, with rice, It comes with a side of fresh cut cucumber and onions. Let me tell you, for $6.99, you get a whole lot of food, enough for two or three people! I now have left overs for dinner. Service may be extremely slow, but they cook to order. Everything is freshly made. The restaurant ambience may be outdated but I guess you can say the food more than compensates for all of that. All in all, I never say no to coming here. They have pretty good gyros and sandwiches too (Beef gyro or Chicken 65 sandwich). Pro Tip: If you're just as excited as me to check in and find out you get a small free hummus with an entree, beware, it will not be honored! The lady behind the counter said that deal is about 5 years old, from the previous owners. When I advised the lady that they need to remove that from Yelp, she said they dont manage Yelp. They contacted the previous owners plenty of times, and according to them, they "forgot" the password, so no one manages their Yelp page. A tad bit disappointing. I guess the old and new owners aren't aware of the "Forgot your password" option. read more

This place is a hit or miss (A miss most of the times) They use really low grade meat... like seriously lowww Ordered the mutton biryani one time and it was literally floating in oil. I know that oil is inexpensive in supermarkets, but cmon, that does not mean you get to pour half a bottle in it, yikes greasy!! If you're adventurous, who likes to play lottery, do go here. You might just get that delicious batch of food, or not (probably not) read more

If you're looking for authentic, cheap Indian/Afghan food this is the place to go! We ordered Tikka Masala, Chicken Biryani & Chicken Shawarma and LOVED it. The food was filled with amazing spice and flavor, definitely going back!! For the price you get a lot of food. Only downside was the waiter forgot 1 dish we ordered but we had so much food we didn't end up needing it anyway. This place is a must try. read more

For the price, you get a lot of food - especially the biryani. The chicken was tender and flavorful. I wish I tried the mutton biryani but it was an hour wait. The beef kabobs looked delicious but the meat was a bit dry and chewy. For about $20, we got an appetizer and two entrees with plenty of leftovers to take home. The food itself wasn't spectacular but better than the other places I've tried in Schaumburg and cheaper. The interior and service aren't great but it's because diners mostly come for take out. I'll have to come back and check out their other menu items. read more

Chicken 65 is off the hook. Hyderabadi Biryani has Dum! Seekh Kabobs were ridiculously tender and seasoned to perfection! Beef Gyros sandwich was good. Hummus was tasty. Chai was reminiscent of classic Hyderabadi tea. Will come back for more!!! read more

Heights of unprofessionalism. I called and placed an order, they confirmed and asked to collect in 25 minutes. When I reached I found out that the restaurant is closed. I couldn't believe and stayed there for almost 15 minutes from 7:55 PM - 8:10 PM and realize they actually closed without even informing me. read more

This place has amazing food both in terms of quality & quantity & fresh just like homemade food so very authentic & yummy. Highly recommend this place. read more

This place has the best chicken 65 and biryani. Best Indian and Pakistani food in the area if you are craving for some.

Very rude people gave me old biryani, we got sick, didn't even apologize replacement or refund was far from the conversation. I will never go back here and don't even recommend anyone to go there either. Don't have option to give negative stars. read more

Love the food here. Authentic taste and great quality. Decent quantity. Tandoori chicken is the above and beyond and so is the chicken kabab! read more

Been going here for so long, I'm ashamed that I haven't left a 5-star review a while ago. Their Biryani was to die for. Prices are more than fair. Portions are insane too. The main reason why I always go back is because they're so consistent with their taste and have fantastic service. Always love supporting local businesses! Ask for Gulam, their cutest server. read more

Holy cow! So I moved to this area from NJ shot two years ago and when I first got here it was more a Persian style place BUT now it seems like there's new ownership and the focus is on BIRYANI! If you want real, Hyderabadi biryani, filled with spices and masalas and heat.. Hyderabad is a state in India that is known for its amazing food but nothing's more famous than their biryani! Biryani is a south Asian rice specialty. IMHO it's the most amazing and tasty preparation of rice you will ever try. Go try it here! This is the type of real biryani you eat in South Asia. It's spicier and has much more masala than ur traditional biryani made for the masses. It's not Punjabi biryani and it's not the Indian/Muslim style biryani.. It's spicier. If you like Perdesi grocers biryani.. You'll love his even more if you like it hot! Next time I go I'm going to try all the kebabs. You can tell this is real deal homemade food when there's only two women making all the food! So glad I came back here. This is not a falafel place anymore.. Come here for South Asian / indian fare made for South Asians who love the heat and spice of how it should be done. read more

The food is very spicy and customer service was horrible we came in and the cashier was sitting with his friends i think, he didn't not even welcome us in and we were on the register area and like hello anyone and he was like what do u guys need and checking us out talking on the phone I won't recommend it if u like spicy yea but customer service HORRIBLE. read more

Absolutely horrific! I ate here with my fiancé and my parents after purchasing a Groupon. That was a terrible mistake. Where do I start? The rude and unprofessional staff? The god-awful food? The way they found themselves mysteriously unable to process our Groupon at the end of the meal? Oh yeah, that's right. The guy behind the counter told us we could pay after we ate. DON'T DO THIS. We were using our Groupon the day after it became available, and yet the staff member who rang us up told us our Groupon had already been used. Sorry, but no. We ended up having to pay about $50 for some lousy chicken, watery hummus (seriously, ew) and the absolute worst falafel I have ever eaten in my entire life. How can I even describe them? They were just tasteless blobs of crap. Luckily, my fiancé was able to get our money back through Groupon. This, however, does not change the fact that Pita & Kabobz is a terrible restaurant run by scam artists. Do yourself a favor and eat anywhere else! read more

I for one KNOW I wont be going back ! Beware of using a Groupon here! I presented coupon first , on my very first visit, because of Groupon offer, whereupon clerk told me to just wait until we were done eating to square up. When I did, he said my Groupon had already been used !! I checked on my phone, it showed unused, and then, lo and behold,it refreshed and showed as used !!! I dont know what to make of that, but I caution anyone using one to settle up FIRST !! I also have to agree with other reviews that the food was below par; runny hummus, way too spicy hot, and terrible sauces. I also cancelled my credit card afterwards as I felt uncomfortable with response of staff and looks from some other apparent regular customers ! Funny how this got removed not long after I posted it !!! read more

The lamb kabob reminded me of a review my wife and I once read about a peruvian place (rosa de lima) downtown that accurately described their chicken as "so good i'd punch my kid in the face for a piece of {it}." Thankfully, that reviewer didn't have any kids... and neither do we. But the lamb here is definitely that good. I love kabobs. And I'm a veteran frequenter of afgan, indian, and various other types of kabobs in chicago and in DC where i grew up. This place has the best lamb kabob I've ever had. It came in 5 or 6 large pieces, two of which still had the bone attached. If that makes you cringe - please, call me over and I'll be happy to take those off of your plate and on to mine. They were the best part!!! Their kabob platters come with either rice or naan. We choose naan (loooooooove good naan), but since the naan was taking a while, they brought out the kabobs with rice, and then brought the naan out a few minutes later. Rice was okay/good. Naan was FANTASTIC! Their platters also came with some nice salsa, a red hot sauce/paste, and an optional green hot sauce (highly recommended - but beware, it is very spicy). Other bits of the experience were: Service = great! People were very friendly. Atmosphere = not so great (only not good thing about it). In trying to think of a way to describe the surrounding - I realized it felt a lot like my home did before my wife moved in. Fairly clean, and it has everything you need - but it's missing all the little details that just make you feel at home and comfortable. I guess it just needs a woman's decorating touch or something. So the dine-in experience isn't great yet - but i fully intend to go back regardless. Many, many times. Last note (i know ramble!) - it just opened a month or so ago - which may be why you haven't heard of it. The prices weren't cheap, but weren't expensive at all either. Their chicken kabab platter was around $7, and my lamb was around $11. more expensive than cheap places, and less expensive than larger/nicer restaurants - but their lamb (and chicken too!) and naan were better than both combined. read more

I don't like to talk bad about any place but I have to share an experience. This is the first time we ordered for the office from this restaurant. While working I immediately asked if something in the office was burning. I came to find out that one of the meat dishes they gave us, was completely burnt. Like blackened. I know people make mistakes, BUT WHY WOULD THEY SERVE IT. Just blows my mind. The chicken dish was pretty ok, but nothing spectacular---and extra salty. The naan was kind of burnt too. I hate to say it but unfortunately I will not be going back here. read more

There should be an option for a ZERO rating. In other reviews people have said that this place is slow when you order takeout, which is why when they said it'll be 15 minutes I didn't pick it up until 30 minutes later. I wanted to pick up some chicken biriyani before heading into work. As it turns out when I got there, the food wasn't ready, there were only the cooks in back who didn't have access to register to ring me out. One guy tells me "the boss is not here yet". I was willing to wait a few minutes as I still had time. 15 minutes later still no boss. At this time there are other people there - about 5 total. Remember this place opens at 11am in week days by this time it's 11:45am. I ordered my food at 11:10am. Wasted my time here when I could have ordered from another place. I'm pissed at this point cuz i wasted my time here, no food and now I have to leave or else be late for work. I leave the place and as I leave I recognize the owners son pull up in his corvette. Instead of running in or hurrying up, he casually takes his time walking in. Never coming to this place again. I would avoid it too unless you enjoy unprofessional service anf mediocre food. read more

Terrible quality and wrong items. Ordered for takeout yesterday. The sheesh kabab was burnt. Had asked for murgh malai chicken but got chicken kabab instead, also burnt. read more

First of all, if you check in on yelp, the 'free small hummus' offer comes up, however, the place has new owners and they will not honor it.....not the best tactic to attract returning customers. Some things on the menu were not available, and our food was prepared by someone cooking and eating at the same time. The bottom line is - the food was very blah. read more

I went here on a Saturday night. The food was okay to poor. I got a mutton biryani which was bland and tasteless and the meat seemed like it had not fully cooked yet.I also got some kabobs which were bland and tasted old. The restaurant itself was very dirty. It was also incredibly COLD. Like it was FREEZING and you had to wear a jacket and a hat and gloves, it was uncomfortable. Also there was no one to clean the tables and they were greasy. Really if you're running a business you need to do the work and not be lazy. I will not be coming back read more

Especially during covid this is a place I'd stay away. The chicken roll tasted good and was filling for the price. Unfortunately the biggest issue at this place is cleanliness and for that reason I can't recommend it. They had food crumbs and food laying on the front desk in the open. read more

Plain and Simple this is good Hyderabadi Indian food. My husband doesn't eat thigh meat, but gobbled up the chicken tikka. This is our new favorite indian joint. read more

Let me start by saying this is not some kind of fancy 5 star restaurant. The guy behind the counter isn't a gourmet chef with a tall hat and fancy coat, but they can make some killer kabobs. I had the chicken kabob with two fresh pitas. It cost me around $8, and it was the best damn $8 I have ever spent. The chicken was perfectly cooked, moist, spicy and FULL of flavor. The pita was soft, had an amazing flavor and tasted like heaven. If you like kabobs or naan this is the place to go. Don't pay attention to what is going on in the back or behind the counter, just eat the food, and give the guys a few extra shekels to thank them for the amazing meal they just served you. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. My husband and I ordered from this place for delivery tonight... A new restaurant to us via Eat24. Guess what? Not only did out food never arrive (and we ordered WELL before 9pm), their phones also went straight voicemail when we called!! It would ring twice and go to voicemail. The message didn't event identify the business. I would stay far away. A business that can't even have a legit phone number is fishy to me. read more

I am a fan of this place.Its inexpensive and food is tasty if you have taste for Indian cuisine. Tikka and boti kabob is good that comes with flavored rice or nun.During lunch special, you can get two chicken leg with rice for just 7 dollars! Chicken biryani is ok ,cool mirchi and Godavari has better biryani. Mutton biryani is lamb biryani not goat.You can skip it. Overall great place! read more

Killer lunch special everything is great over here unbelievable if you like spicy Lookout little bit.hot try the fried breaded jalapenos read more
