Just went here again and it has fallen off hard. They redid the interior and tables for some reason…read more(it's pretty outdated already somehow) and have raised prices as a result. The portions have reduced and there's also now a credit card fee. Nothing looks the way it does in the last pictures anymore. The service was alright but a baby threw up everywhere and then a man sprayed febreeze after they wiped it off and it made it super hard to eat with the febreeze smell. There was one really nice waiter, unfortunately i didn't catch his name but he did check on us since we were waiting for some time and we appreciated that. As for the food, everything except the beef hakka noodles were bad. Very under salted and way too much cabbage in the fried rice. The gola kabobs were decent portion but dry and something you'd expect from someone who just started learning how to make them last week. The rice we got with the chicken manchurian was not fresh and the chutney with the kabob was watered down and about to go bad. In fact the manchurian itself almost tasted watery. Literally spent almost $100 to walk out with the aftertaste of raw cabbage, can't go back again. Oh also weirdest part was that we were only given forks to eat with, no spoons or knives in sight! The menu format has changed as well but somehow the prices are still not accurate to the bill at the end! Be careful and take pics of the menu to compare if you need to.

I've been going to the location on Devon since I was like 6. First time coming to this location…read more 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.

The beef Haleem was OK, but they have decreased the quantity quite a bit. The chicken Paratha roll was average. They definitely need to improve their quality. The service is always good, makes you feel Like you are home. The place clean, good, but lacks the vibe. Overall, they need to gear up their food flavor and quality, soon.

However, my biggest complaint was that the rice was too spicy, they had chopped green chilies in it and I wish they hard warned us about that. I would have just ordered the paratha rolls if I knew the rice would be that spicy. The restaurant is decorated nicely and everything is so clean. I would like to come back for dinner when there's more of a vibe in the restaurant and it's full. There are many options now on Roosevelt Road and I hope this place stays as a nice sit down restaurant.

Overall the food was good but not enjoyable as there were way too many people in the tight space. There was a hiccup with our order but the counter guy did good to try and solve the problem. The chicken boti roll: generously packed with nicely seasoned breast meat on a paratha. 4 The puri halwa: was better than most places. Puri's weren't oily, chenna's & aloo had a good flavor but they missed the mark entirely as the halwa was really dry and was not a bit sweet. 3.5 Tea was served lukewarm not hot. 2 Lassi was premade in the self serve area and was very good. 4 They have outdoor seating which would be good in warmer weather.

Food great Service great…read more Place/ambiance not so much! I love their rolls and grill items. Chicken and goat meat were tender. We ordered four rolls one was chicken mayo, chicken, booty, and chicken Malai all of them had different flavors and were cooked really nice. Naan bread was soft. Not good for dinner but an evening snack. The place needs cleaning and fumigation. They should empty their bins more often. And also clean them generously, since they were sticky as hell. Even though I liked their food, I was not happy with mosquitoes flies and fruit flies which were hovering over my food. I literally took my food and eat it in my car later.

Rayan started by serving us a complimentary hot bowl of chicken corn soup. He gave us another bowl too! I must say everything we had tasted authentic and flavorful. They make everything in house right down to the end with deserts! We started with samosas which came out piping hot, filled nicely and not a bit greasy. I loved all the chutneys that accompanied all our dishes and soup. All the meats are halal in this establishment. We haven't had beef chapli kabobs this good in a long time. The chicken boti had a nice subtle charcoal flavor and every chicken piece was seasoned and flavored throughout not just on the top! They give you nice generous portions as well. When everything is made to order, it takes a little bit longer but it's well worth the wait. The desert of warm gulab jamuns in a nice syrup and kheer with chai was really delicious. We also tried thier mango lassi which was excellent! Overall each menu item has its own unique flavor and taste. You can't go wrong with whatever you order. Service is friendly and the food is very comforting. Don't pass up a chance to try their food. We are looking forward to our next visit to try thier other dishes!

Popped on out to Kabab Mahal (1023 W North Ave, Villa Park) for some lunch a few days ago. They…read moreopened up about 6 months ago, and at the time, I tried, and reviewed, some of their food. I was quite simply, blown away by how good it was. It's an immense travesty on my part, that I took so long to get back there (to be fair to me, we have so many fantastic places to eat around here ). Thankfully, said travesty has now been amended, and I'm overjoyed to relate, that 6 months on, their food is still exceptional! I even opted to try completely different menu options from my last visit, so as to better explore their offerings. They had a few things on special, and I decided to take advantage of those specials! First up, was their Chicken Bhunah (Bhuna?), which is apparently a North Indian curry dish. I lament that I don't know much about regional Indian cuisine, but! I DO know tasty, and no joke, this was up there with some of the tastiest food I've ever eaten. The flavor on this dish, was next level stuff. And I'm talking like, you already beat all of Dr Wily's robot masters, you've stormed his skull fortress, beat the Robot Masters a SECOND time, and now you're staring down that goofy-haired old man, face to face. THAT'S the level of flavor I'm taking about. It was the perfect blend of savory, rich, fresh, and perfectly spiced. It hit in that way, that only Indian food can. If you know, you know. The chicken itself was so tender, and having marinated in that delicious sauce, every single bite was sumptuous and inviting. I didn't want to put my fork down. It came with rice and Naan, and while both were great in their own rights, I'm not ashamed to say, that I could've downed that entire bowl like soup, that's how good it was. I ended up using the Naan to completely wipe the bowl clean Next up, I decided to pair my Chicken Bhunah, with something to drink... They happened to have their Irani Chai also on special, and that sounded great to me. I love Chai in pretty much every form I've had it in, but was unfamiliar with the Irani version. This, turned out to be a mournful ignorance on my part. That, was some of the very best Chai I've had. It hit all the notes I'd expect from a good chai: It was creamy, flavorful, and had a little complexity to it's profile. But! It also had the most earthy vibe I've ever had from a chai. It was kinda nutty, but not in a hazelnut way, or something more familiar. I couldn't place the specific nuttiness, but I know that I loved it. Not only did it give the chai it's own unique character, it added an extra layer of depth to the whole experience. It felt...fuller, than almost any Chai I've ever had before. Now, granted...I don't claim to be any type of Chai expert. Far from it. So take my Chai praise with a certain grain of salt. But! I'll say this for certain: it was some really tasty Chai, way above what I was expecting, and especially paired with the Chicken Bhunah, it absolutely hit the spot. It was the perfect accompaniment. The final item I gorged myself on, was their Mango Lassi. In past instances where I've had Lassi, it's been depicted moreso distinctly as a drink, but they cast it as a dessert, so that's how I treated it. I ended my eating experience by wolfing it all down, all while smiling the biggest smile This was a great way to cap off my latest Kabab Mahal outing. Not only was it super tasty and filled to the brim with delicious mango flavor, it's vibrancy and tropical punch, was exactly what I needed after such a flavor-heavy entree and drink. If it hadn't delivered on that mango in a big way, it would've been completely overshadowed by the Chicken and the Chai (Sounds like a 90s indie rock band ). Instead, the mix of sweet mango and tangy yogurt, perfectly blended to create an almost pallet-cleansing experience, that helped simultaneously lighten AND elevate the entire experience. It wasn't too sweet, it highlighted the flavors at play, and it was the perfect amount to not overfill my generous belly. My overall takeaway from my second visit to Kabab Mahal, was one of sheer delight, and continued excellence. Based off my initial run-in with their food, I had high hopes that this would be a similarly fantastic lunch, and my expectations couldn't have been met to any greater degree. Moreover, since I was trying all new items (to me), it was even more impressive, because it just solidified how phenomenal their overall menu is, and the level of skill and commitment to excellence they display. For a place that's situated in a strip mall, next to smoke and pawn shops, it punches well above it's surroundings (no offense smoke and pawn shops). What I mean is, for a place tucked away where it is, you'd could be forgiven if you didn't expect some of the best tasting food in the entire area. It's the optime of a hidden gem, and alongside some of the other phenomenal local spots we have available to us, we truly have to count ourselves as fortunate, that we've got su
