    Chicken seekh kabobs
    Mahima V.

    Never thought a kabob shop in a nondescript strip mall would become one of my favorite restaurants! Started coming here two months ago and now I crave it often lol. The chicken seekh kabobs are massive and packed with flavor. It is way better than the ones you find in the freezer section of a grocery store. The chicken boti is spicy and juicy. I like how both dishes come with a side salad. The chicken biryani (not pictured) is delicious and spicy. The Paranthas are massive and easy for multiple people to share! I love how this restaurant serves high quality meat and truly goes big on their portions! Can't wait to return!

    PHENOMENAL!!! PHENOMENAL!!! Truly PHENOMENAL!!! My mother is Punjabi Pathan, so she is VERY particular about certain delicacies such as Chapli Kabab, and since it is not offered on many menus we only ever make it at home. It was the Chapli Kabab being offered on the menu that made us come here, and needless to say I was SUPER SKEPTICAL. Boy oh boy was I made into a believer. Both the hubs and I ordered the Char Chapli Kabab Burger - so that's a Chapli Kabab made of lamb meat. You can order the same kind of kabob in other protein offerings such as chicken or beef. My mother ordered a Beef Bihari Kabab entree, along with a salt lassi and a paratha. And lastly, my husband ordered the Lamb Bihari Kabab entree with a paratha, mostly to try, and take the rest home for lunch tomorrow. The Char Chapli Burger was ABSOLUTE perfection! The bun was toasted well, and there was a bright green sauce that tasted like a twist between mustard and Hari Chutney (mint cilantro chutney). But it was the actual Kabab patty that was PURE DELICIOUSNESS! Crispy on the corners, but not overdone in the middle, moist and juicy and charred to perfection - I was on seventh heaven with each and every bite. Mom's beef Bihari was also seasoned perfectly, she stated that she assumed it would be overly spicy as that's what she has encountered all other places - but that this Bihari kabab was seasoned without burning the mouth. Soft and melt in your mouth pieces of meat with an absolutely scrumptious paratha, that's how you do Bihari Kabab. My husband's lamb Bihari was the same. The salt lassi was also really good. They also offer Chelow Kababs, which (like the Chapli) are another delicacy of Northern Pakistan and/or Afghan food. We did not order those this time but I'll definitely be back to try those and the broast, and maybe the Masala Fries! Wait...why are you still sitting there reading this?? Go! Go and try them out...

    This is great place to come for very good fresh made to order food. We went at lunch time and ordered the lunch special for $6.99 and were totally satisfied. Very impressive and unique offering. Boti chicken kabob, rice, 1 shami, salad, and chutney. Everything came out hot and fresh. Chicken was excellent quality, taste and portion was perfect! The shami patty was well seasoned and very tasty. I felt like I had everything I wanted on that lunch plate! The chutney was very good and was delicious on the kabob. For this area, I felt this is a great place to go for anytime of day. You wait a little bit as they make everything fresh to your order which means it's going to be fantastic! Excellent quality food items, clean place, menu has nice variety of chicken, beef or lamb items and owner is super friendly and helpful with ordering. Definitely going back to try other items on their menu.

    I am always excited to try out new restaurants, but unfortunately this experience was quite a letdown. They are getting a 2.5 star rating because of poor customer service with decent food. The food is made fresh but they took about 40 minutes to bring out the first items and they were in small batches so everyone at our table of 9 started eating at practically different times. The biggest problem was that there was a hair in one of our burgers. When we told the manager he apologized once, replaced it with another burger (which was ready by the time everyone else was done eating and ready to go), and apologized once more afterwards. I think it's pretty standard to offer more than a simple apology, to at least mention to the customers that this has never happened before and that they will investigate and change how it did, and of course to offer a discount for the inconvenience. None of this was done and most people would give them a 1 star rating with this experience. Regarding the food itself, the traditional Desi food here was alright but the American food was mediocre. The Lamb Chapli Kabob Burger was too dry and heavily seasoned. The Hunter Beef Burger was dry as well but had a nice flavor.

I saw some recent newbies complain about the portions being small. I believe they didn't order a lot or they ordered the wrong things. The current portions are not small, they're just mid quality. Btw the banchan is unlimited. We were a group of 3 and got the Taste of Seoul set for 4. It came with fried dumplings, popcorn chicken, beef bulgogi, LA galbi, galbi chicken, pork belly, and kimchi fried rice. Service was good. Our server came back often to check on us. Other than that, this is not a place I would return to. K-bbq in Palatine is way better and authentic. Overall, this is a 2.5-3 at best. -Fried dumplings 2.5 - The fried dumplings tasted store bought, not something that was made from scratch. -popcorn chicken 1 - this is the worst popcorn chicken I've ever tasted. It was dry and there were way too many fried batter pieces. Not enough meat. -beef bulgogi 5 - this was fine. -LA galbi 5 - this and the beef bulgogi are the highlights. -galbi chicken 1 - I think I would take this off the Taste of Seoul set. It's just too dry and bland. I've been to Seoul along with many kbbq places in Illinois, we had mostly beef and pork. -pork belly 3 - not the best quality but better than the chicken. -kimchi fried rice 5 - the rice was good, I liked the crunchy pieces.

I love pulled pork morning, noon and night (minus the morning) so I had to get the Interstate BBQ sandwich. The Interstate is $7 and is a BBQ Pork Sandwich-hand seasoned pork shoulder, smoked for twelve hours, chopped, sauced, & served on your choice of bun (according to their menu). You can pick from a brioche roll or pretzel bread. You can also get the sandwich in slider form for just $3.50. I liked the sandwich an awful lot, ever so slightly dry but great flavor. It's left me wanting more! They have a Bacon chocolate brownie....Yea I'm going to need to get that the next time I get Best Truckin' BBQ. And oh yes, there will be a next time.
