Biryani Pointe - Gurnee - Counterclockwise: veggie samosas, mutter paneer, naan, butter chicken - Indian Near Me - Gurnee, Illinois

It's an ok place to eat. But. The sign shows M-F 11am-3pm. Don't believe it!!!!! They close randomly without explanation. Annoying when you bring a group for lunch and the doors are locked. read more

Biryani Pointe - Gurnee - Indian Near Me - Gurnee, Illinois

Baryani Pointe 5414 Grand Ave Gurnee 224-656-6449 I cannot believe these reviews. Let me start by saying we looked forward to this visit. Decor, none. Service; the staff didn't know the menu, had trouble communicating the menu questions, stood over us as we ate; stated they had no ice then later was given some. Food. Good, not great. During our dinner my front tooth broke eating Naan. My wife brought that to the attention of three different staff and not one response; not even from the owner. He just looked at me with a blank stare as he took my money at the table. This place will close soon. read more

When ever we have a party , a get together or meetup this is the place we rely all the time! Eventhough I like having biryani here, I see that this place has a lot of potentional to be good in all other cuisines as well! Yes ! other vegeterian food is not up to the mark at all!!! Hence , try biryani or meat cuisines but not the simple veg things such as Paneer, Dal or anything ! yeah vegeterians i know that sucks!!! We once also ordered spring rolls and they were tiny and tasteless and cold from inside!! I love spring roles and my heart was broken that day!!! Biryani pointe , if you are reading this please improve the veg food at your place !! its like every group /table has people who dont eat meat read more

Stopped in here for mother's day & was pleasantly surprised, the food was amazing!! We had the butter chicken, garlic naan, chicken boti & samosas. The chicken was cooked beautifully & so flavorful. Is a great spot for take out, as it is small inside but the service was great as well. read more

Bharva baingan has 3 tiny baingan. Terrible quantity. Avg taste. We dumped out about half inch layer of oil. read more

If I could put zero stars I would. First, the naan was sour like as if it's been left out all day, it didn't taste right at all. And the butter chicken was garbage, it was so watery with like 5 little cubes of chicken. And for paying $92 for just a waste. Also, there was a piece of wood in our rice. This was my first time eating from this place and last. I'm highly disappointed, also they did not give price when we ordered through the phone and no receipt. We tried calling them and got not answer! read more

Horrible food it's a shame this place is even open! This is not authentic food this is garbage food and high prices and a scam of a business! Don't waste your hard-earned money on this garbage food that neither taste authentic or decent in any way!! The Cooks need to go learn how to cook before opening a busineas, shame on you! read more

Ordered for $90 tonight and what a waste of money. Terrible food, it used to be good before. Owner did not want to take feedback and got very defensive. Do not go until they fix quality. Go to Shalimar or Himalayan instead. Chicken boti had chilli powder thrown at it and we could scoop oil out of mutton curry. read more

The food was good but the wait was ridiculous. We walked in to dine inside and the guy behind the bar/cashier area basically ignored us we grabbed our own menus and sat ourselves it took the guy a good few minutes to greet us at the table. My husband and I decided to order to-go because I'm not tipping someone when you couldn't even get up to great us for dine in. If you are going to order from here order way in advance and order to go. read more

Don't visit that place. Prices are high, but the quality of food is cheap and very poor. They charged for the service, even though, the service was worse. The guy gave us some sort OF salan shorba calling it "Raita". The biryani was so worst. I just can't say anything besides that, but this place needs to change. The prices are higher. They give you the worst quality freezer food. Raita is not raita, it was shorba of some Salan. The beef sandwich didn't have beef, it was filled with lots of veggies and 3 tiny boti of beef. DON'T EVER VISIT IT. read more

A solid choice for vegetarian food on the way back from Six Flags, the Tempel Lippizans or Gold Pyramid House. Obviously on the Pakistani side of things rather than the Indian (the sign refers to "Biryani and Kabobs"). I followed the recommendation of the other veg reviewer and got the biryani; in addition, onion naan, samosa and dessert. The biryani was fine; it came served with a mountain of rice; finding the vegetables was a bit like hunting for treasure. Would easily serve two, possibly three. Flavors were balanced with a little heat. The hot sauce was excellent, and the yogurt sauce pleasantly tart. The samosa are available with either beef, chicken or vegetables and at $2 for two is great value. They're serviceable; pastry is a bit tough and the sauces a bit weak. The naan was also a bit tough and not very buttery. Next time I'd just get the regular; it featured only a few red onion scrapings. The dessert menu features some interesting choices in addition to the usual kulfi and mango ice cream, though they were out of the squash pudding. I got an apricot dessert that was essentially a conserve; it would be lovely topping yogurt or ice cream. read more

Their Biriyani was only literally jeers rice and fish. My humble opinion to non Indian customers is please please don't this is Biriyani. Tasting u be like it's ok. If u r looking for Indian cuisine go somewhere else. read more

I really like this place. Good portions, I usually have Chicken boti. Been here about 5 times. So far so good. Keep it up. Don't let it go! like most Indian restaurants! normally get sloppy read more

Food was amazing. Flavorful, spicy. Everything thing I want in good curry and lamb. My friend got the gyro and it was great as well.

First time at this place. I ordered kebab and they gave me chicken ticka.. also waited 50 minutes. Such a long wait. The food isn't good also. If you want middle eastern food go to pita inn read more

We were super excited when we saw the good Yelp reviews this place had and we thought it was a good sign how busy the place looked when we pulled into the parking lot. We took our food to go, and it smelled amazing. However, when we actually tried it, it was very mediocre tasting, unfortunately. We weren't impressed, as we'd tried another Indian food restaurant a few weeks ago not too far away and it tasted much, much better. This was okay, but the biryani was really dry and honestly the spices tasted off. Not sure how else to explain it. Overall, it was nothing special. I will say though that the portion size was a very good, large amount for the price we paid. read more

The first few times I ordered from this establishment (Pre-Covid) the food was good, today I ordered the exact same thing and it was horrible, the Naan Bread was actually Pita Bread the Biryani was so very dry it was almost dehydrating. Definitely will not be patronizing this business again. read more

Decent enough food, very disappointed in the portions / what you get. The paneer tikka masala is good, but seemingly no longer comes with rice or naan. Being required to add both turns it into a without drink $24 meal for one. read more

Yummy biryani.ordered veg biryani and asked them to make it spicy and it was very nice and spicy. Reasonable prices as well.

Amazing place for your spice needs! Usually get the Chicken 65, Butter Chicken, Rice, and Garlic Naan. Amazing food and the spice levels are on point with a great burn but the flavor completely takes you for a ride! read more

Biryani Pointe - Gurnee - Chicken 65 - Indian Near Me - Gurnee, Illinois

Food was full of flavor and came very fast. We were very well service and the server was very knowledgeable about the dishes but slightly off with portion sizes. That's okay though definitely would come back read more

Pathetic serving size. Everything tastes the same and poor value for money. I would not recommend going here for an authentic experience

The food is just amazing! We always order the chicken biryani, mutton biryani and haleem here.. and then take one more, to go ( coz we are greedy and can't get enough). The prices are very reasonable too.. and the food is as authentic as it can get! Haleem is a must try.. It's creamy, rich in spices and melts in the mouth! Go there for the haleem and biryani.. u won't regret it! :) read more

Always delicious! Never disassappoints! Their samosas are AMAZING! Tastes like the home cooked ones that my friends made me the first time I ever tried samosas! Their kabobs are so tender and delicious! And of course, you can't miss the out on naan! Will miss this place when we move! read more

Finally stopped I'm to try this place regardless of reviews which I usually don't do. Butter chicken and Naan were good the problem is for the price and the portions just ridiculous. Believe the reviews for $17 butter chicken I had a small container of rice and had exactly 7 small pieces of chicken so zero value. The service during my pickup order was great but sadly won't return. Again food was not bad pretty good minus being a bit runny sauce. read more

Watered down and watery food. No taste. I thought it was an isolated issue. I wanted to like this place, especially since it wasn't far from me, but they have been consistently bad. Will not return. read more

Absolutely Terrible. Just had lunch there. Ordered the 2 curry lunch special for $14.99. Comes out 20 minutes before our other order of curried goat. Had one literal piece of eggplant in one curry, and maybe 5 pieces of cauliflower and 2 chunks of potato in the other (I counted). Curried goat comes out and has again, a LITERAL piece of goat and a bowl of broth. For $35 I would take your money elsewhere. I left and I'm still hungry but so annoyed I had to write this review. read more

I know it's crazy to write a 5 star review based on chai alone, but it is that good. Don't be fooled by the fact that it is always ready to go in a percolator. It is strong tea with the perfect texture. Oh and I had the beef fried roll which was good but had a little too much beef (which isn't really a huge issue since you can pick the extra out). Taste wise, it's good. Also had the mutton biryani which was tasty with a balanced amount of masala. This place is worth it and def the best in the Libertyville / Vernon Hills area. Trust me, making good chai is an art, so if they got that right, you can count on everything else to be on point... Biryani point to be exact ;) read more

Really great and fresh food. They are so friendly. The chicken masala was to die for I asked for it really spicy and it came out delicious!!! I'll be back for the naan bread as well. Delicious read more

Not sure if this place changed the cook or not. This was my to go to place for parathas but lately they are over salted that it makes it uneatable. The first time I got the parathas that were oversalted I just thought okay someone made a mistake okay, but this has been a second time in a row. cause I love coming here, I guess am going to have to started going somewhere else. read more

Food rocks. Family owned biz and great food, unique flavor profile and attentive service, with very reasonable menu pricing. Eat here! read more

Absolutely fantastic Food!! The curry beef was AMAZING and I had them kick up the spice a little....and it was GREAT!! We're definitely coming back when we get down to Gurnee. read more

Awesome vegetarian fare! I order every couple of months at so, and in the past even the mild was too hot for everyone in my family to fully enjoy. Today things were just right -- good amount of tang, like competitors' level of heat -- with the flavors shining through instead of being overpowered by spice. Took things from 3 stars to 4! Hopefully that's the new standard. Any of the vegetarian dishes go perfectly together with all the others, with the Aloo Gabhi being my go-to centerpiece. read more

Rude owner. I asked a question about one of their food dish and he looked at me like I am a retard. The whole restaurant stinks and their bathroom looks like it is from world war II times. I left immediately after exchanging some words with the rude owner. Never going back. read more

This food is very bland, not enough spice and flavor. Probably one do the worst Indian/Pakistani restaurants I've been in. Got kebab platter and butter chicken. Naan was good. People are nice. read more

The food was delicious and the workers were all nice. We had just left six flags looking for something good to eat and man did this do the trick. Great price for large portions. Order and share so you really get to taste the variety. My favorite was the chicken shawarma sandwich read more

So here's a first for me in review writing - writing one for this restaurants inability to serve! Went here for an early dinner on Sunday around 5 and the owner (I think) was putting up a paper note on the door which said closed for a break till 5:30. Their website says open from 10:30am to 10:00pm. Such a bummer since we had wanted to try this place for a long time and did a long drive. The person putting up the note did see us parking right in front of the restaurant and one would have expected a basic courtesy communication for this off time 'break'. But nah he puts the note and just walks away! Anyways we had some other work in the area and after a bit I tried calling to atleast place an order for takeaway. First time I get thru, the person picks the call and says ok for takeaway order. On my end baby starts crying so I say I'll call back in few minutes. And then I do call back, 5 minutes and 5 calls later - nothing, no response! Biryani Pointe - please get your service on point. read more

I wouldn't recommend for vegetarians. Veg biryani had lot of oil and wasn't that tasty at all. Naans were good and planner curry was ok but I wouldn't go again for that. Service was good but I won't recommend for vegetarians at all. read more

I thought I'd give this place another try but wish I hadn't. The somosas were mostly dough with little filling. I also ordered chicken korma and chicken 65. The amount of oil in each dish was disgusting with little chicken and both lacked flavor. The naan was disappointing but sadly the best out of everything ordered. read more
