My mouth is watering thinking about the chili chicken! I hadn't had it since they were open on Devon ave. which i found out was like 10 years ago! I thought I would never have it again. I happened to be in the area and had to have it. I was so nervous that it wouldn't be the same but it was actually better than i remember it! I was so happy to see they still offer the soup. It was so good. Make sure to add the sauces. The chili chicken was perfectly tasty and spicy. Ordered at the counter and took about 15 min. Doesn't look like much from the outside but it is the same inside! Cute decor with lighting read more

I ordered from door dash on a Sunday afternoon. I got a few meat dishes, dal, samosa, kheer and a lamb sheek wrap. The dal was very hot and fresh, the samosa was also warm and the lamb seekh wrap was just room temp. I asked for mild spicy and I don't know if that's why the food lacked any spice and even the salt amount was low. The meat dishes including lamb kadahi and chicken off the grill arrived cold, like they were chilly almost frozen in the middle. I did not have access to a microwave so I. Like not heat them up. In comparison to other restaurants in the area I found the prices here better but the food taste and quality was really lacking. I'm always afraid to order out from places because I think they work a lot harder if you eat there in person. Perhaps this would have been a better plan. I spent closer to $100 for items not even heated thru with no taste . read more

The food is delicious. Service is excellent. Setting is casual. Our new favorite casual spot. The cauliflower is amazing. Samosa are on point. Butter chicken was rich and satisfying. Definitely bring your family for a relaxing delicious meal. What a find! read more

I frequently visited the Naperville JK Kababs and I am soooooo glad they opened one here in Niles. They make the best chicken Tandoori in this area and their complimentary soup for indoor dining is amazing! If you are reading this, order the Chicken Tandoori, I included a photo of how amazing it looks! read more

JK Kabab Express - Chicken Tandoori - Indian Near Me - Niles, Illinois

I have memories of the OG JK Kabab just off of Devon in Chicago. I absolutely love seeing that they have stretched their arms to the burbs. I'm going solely by taste and service here because after all, this is the "express" version of the original, so ambience won't wow you. All the food that we ordered was top class and just like the original, be it spice level, rice quality, size of the kababs (those are some big boys), they didn't even compromise on real charcoal grilled flavor. What I love about JK Kabab is that you get chicken corn soup when you dine in. Also, all entrées come with rice so if you forget to order parathas or naan...you know the rest. Food is served fresh and with perfect spice level. They don't tame it and make the food touristy yet they don't ignite an inferno your mouth. You can taste the ingredients in your food. The tandoori chicken is served fresh and not overcooked to a dry state but charred and juicy. Their signature chili chicken rice is delicious, you cannot go wrong with it. Gobi (cauliflower) manchurian is crispy, tangy, and spicy. Mutton biryani has generous amounts of tender meat, again perfectly spiced. We also ended up packing our "special" chicken biryani (as it was written on their specials board). We had that the next day and it was delicious. Perfectly seasoned and flavored rice with tender, not chewy chicken that packed a punch of aromatic flavor. We also tried lamb kadai, mutton kadai, lamb seekh kabab, all exceptional. The prices surely are not what they used to be but I guess that fresh deliciousness justified it? The gentleman and lady running the counter and serving were very kind. We ordered a ton of food but even the leftovers did not go forgotten in some distant crevice of our fridge, we whipped them out and finished them quick! read more

JK Kabab Express - Chiken Grill Chicken Tikka Platter - Indian Near Me - Niles, Illinois

This would have been a 5 star review but some items were missing from our takeout order and not the best customer service when calling on the missing items. Overall, the butter chicken and lamb biryanis were flavorful. The naan gave it a nice touch as my cousin and I were missing our rice from our order of butter chicken but we were able to take some from the other plate. I would go back again to try the food again. read more

We came to ABT and wanted a quick halal lunch nearby. JK Kabab Express came up on Yelp and we're glad we stopped by. The restaurant is small and casual. You order at the counter. Since we were dining in, the restaurant provided complimentary soup which was decent. It's rare to find a Chicagoland Desi restaurant offer anything complimentary. We ordered the chicken seekh kabab roll and the Chapli kebab. Both portions were huge. The chapli kebab did come with rice but wish it came with a small side of daal. Or, the dish could have come with paratha instead of rice. Both dishes were tasty! We wanted to end our meal with chai and we were charged for it. However, they ran out of chai and we got some dessert instead. Chai is a must and I'll have to come back to try. Lastly, there were no zero sugar drinks, only diet. Coke zero would have been great with the food. Since it's canned drinks, it won't be hard to add to menu. read more

Ordered Chicken tikka masala with naan for to go, $13.99+$2.49 (naan) +$2.91 (tips) $20 spending I got EXACTLY 6 pieces of chicken VERY SMALL rice, and naan bread wasn't burnt But lots of BURNT pieces of their GRILL or something! Basically, I paid $3.00 for very small 6 pieces of chicken (each less than inch diameter)! IF They want to save money ? They shouldn't save money from the customers food who paid already! Not mentioning the front desk guy used bathroom so fast in 1 minute No time to wash hands But In hurry to hand people's food! read more

I absolutely love love love their lamb seekh roll . It's so tender juicy and flavorful. If you are a desi you know the taste of the street Kabab's back home this really does justice to it . My only issue was I wish they had green liqudy chutney . This roll is perfection on its own read more

Great food, fast and always a reliable place for the portions. Love ordering and picking up from here

I ordered takeout, so I can't really speak to the dining experience, but it was still good getting carry-out, and very good re-heated. You know when you go to a Taqueria and you know it's good if you see a lot of Mexican, Central American and South American folks eating there? Same thing here! Granted, I arrived just after sundown during Ramadan, and I saw quite a few Muslim families, as well as some Indian families, but if they are coming here for Iftar, you know it's (at the very least) authentic. I'll have to come back for the Mediterranean cuisine, as I ordered an Indian dish. I came about a year ago for the first time and ordered a rice dish, but I was craving Indian and I wanted to mix things up, but as I tried to order my first 2 choices they told me they were 'out' of those dishes. Since I've not had Chicken Tikka Masala at this place I tried the old 'stand-by'. It did not disappoint! I'll definitely come back, not only for their Mediterranean food, but also their CTM. Very tasty and rich as the actual dish is concerned. Why 4 stars...well, the aforementioned being 'out' of my first 2 choices, but also not nearly enough rice. LOTS of, er really ALL, Indian restaurants do this. There is NEVER enough rice for me. I'm sure this is my screw-up, I'm not eating it right and someone is going to tell me as much, but I like to put a nice, generous bed of rice down and top that with whatever dish I get. Then I mix all of it up and have a nice, filling meal. What I end up doing is always having plenty of white rice on-hand at home, hence the carry-out. But, again, good eating at home, and very good re-heated. I've been getting dental work done, I wasn't confident in biting through Naan with my temporary crowns, so I didn't get any Naan, but I'll be sure to try it (and maybe update this review) next time. Perhaps when I try the Mediterranean I'll eat in the restaurant (but wait until after Ramadan...it was quite full in there)! read more

My issue with them is that they are using original JK kabab name, just adding express to it, while its original name is Indian bistro. That is so uncalled for. I get it you wanna expand your business and all that but ppl will come for JK Kabab name . so anyone thinking they are going to one of the branches for JK Kabab they are not . they even tried to copy the menu but you can tell its not same thing. I would recommend them not to use JK Kabab name because it is NOT JK KABAB. and their meat is also also non zabiha halal. gosh these days you can not trust anyone read more
