She has done this once before and we ignored it but the customer service has gone down the drain. There are other halal meat stores in the area that are less expensive, friendly, kind, and accommodating . Extremely disappointed and would not recommend this place to anyone. We are paying for the service, it's not free, your job was to provide a service.

I really had a pleasant stay and experience at this place. Their selections are huge and wide. They have chicken, beef, and other meats. All of it is fresh and quality. You can also buy some of their cold cuts and frozen goods. Such a clean, organized, and decent store. Their staff is very nice, decent, friendly, and very helpful. They are always willing to help and assist the customers around the place. They are also knowledgeable and can answer questions from customers. Great customer service. Owais Foods also offers halal foods and some goods from Pakistan. They are the only store that has halal meat and food. Really love this store! Their location is very easy to find and very convenient. It was a pleasure for me to experience how great this place is and its staff. They all know how to treat the customers so well. Definitely a gem in this area of Des Plaines. Great prices and quality products. The only problem for me is the smell in some parts of the place, it probably came from the meats. But still, the place is worth visiting. I would really love to recommend this place to all of my friends and family so that they can also experience the great service. Owais Foods is phenomenal! Thank you for the pleasant experience! Will see you guys again soon! Kudos!

I'm so glad the first time we ordered, I got the main entree version of this. We also ordered for a vegetarian friend who really enjoyed the freshness of their veggies and how delicious their homemade bread was. If you do eat meat, their offerings are really fresh and well seasoned. My partner and I always notice how the chicken kebab in particular is so juicy and tender. Everything always comes out well seasoned and is eaten within a few minutes. We love the meals here. Be sure to be bit flexible when you're ordering at peak hours: this place is popular and often bustling with customers!

Yes, Sri Lankans there are ingredients y'all can find here too. I like to peruse their catering items. A decent selection of hot bar items, such as samosas, protein filled cutlets and rolls.

The shop has existed many years and been owned by different Malayalee ownership. Languages spoken are Malayalam and English. For the brand, this is a part of their chain of stores. Other locations carry larger selections of mixed vegetable entrees, egg specialties and fried or sautéed curries.

This has always been one of my favorite restaurants for Indian food, and I've told so many people…read moreabout it. I went back today and was honestly so upset because my go-to dish, the paneer makhini, was nothing like it used to be. It literally just tasted like straight cream. I even asked them to remake it because I thought something was wrong, but it came out the same way. I ended up just eating the other food we ordered, but it was such a disappointment because this has always been the dish I look forward to. I even showed them old photos from past visits compared to today and it was clearly different. The chef tried it and said it was the same, which shocked me because it really wasn't. I get that places can have off days, but this was really discouraging. As much as I've loved this restaurant, I don't know if I'll be back if the quality has dropped this much.

We thoroughly enjoyed our pickup order from Himalayan Restaurant for dinner recently. We did a…read morefamily meal combo to sample something of everything. Our order included: cocktail samosas, palak paneer, baigan bharta, and the chicken tikka masala. The meal comes with three naan and rice on the side, as well as a dessert. We went with the gulab jamun. I also wanted an order of soup momos, so we added that onto our already robust order as well. (They didn't disappoint, so delicious.) Everything was well-balanced and spiced. I especially love that we were able to split the portions across multiple meals given how generous the naan was. The most beloved item was definitely the momos in the spicy/sour soup, followed by the buttery naan dipped in chicken tikka masala. I also really enjoyed the baigan bharta. So very enjoyed this meal, and I can't wait to try some of the other menu items that other diners have recommended.
