We ordered the garlic naan twice throughout the dinner because it's just incredible! I could keep eating it. The chicken tikka masala and lamb curry was also incredible. We also got an order of the samosas, which I had never had before and I really enjoyed them. The service was really good from the beginning. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. I liked the calm atmosphere, layout, and decor of the restaurant. I really wanted to give this restaurant 5 stars due to the delicious food, good service, and atmosphere, but I couldn't because the women's bathroom is atrocious. I was shocked. It looks like it hasn't been cleaned in months. The walls, floors, sink, soap dispenser, garbage bin, and worst of all, the toilet was horribly dirty. This would be a 5/5 restaurant. A customer should be able to use a clean bathroom. I hope if the owner sees this review that he or she will take this into consideration. I have never mentioned something like this in one of my reviews, so I feel bad, but I had to say something.

The seating area is clean and has a decent vibe. However.... the bathrooms are beyond disgusting. The trash can was abnormally overflowing for it being a random weekday lunch that I had visited. The soap to wash your hands was empty (i added water to the bottle and made due). I sure hope the cooks have a different bathroom?? Yuck. Either way, using the old adage that the bathrooms are an easy indicator of the cleanliness of the kitchen... I'm guessing dirty, unorganized, and likely bugs. I wonder what sort of health codes are violated here...

Their were a couple of groups of people but the restaurant was not busy. The restaurant looked clean and inviting. The staff was friendly. The ordering was counter service style. We took our time ordering as they had a decent variety on the menu. The menu pricing was somewhere between moderate - pricey. We ordered one of their Vada Pav, one of their Pav Bhaji, one of the Sev Puri, and one of the Thandai milkshake. The food came out promptly. I had the Vada Pav first as there what I came to eat here. It was decent. It lacked the typical spicy flavor though. Then, I dug into the Pav Bhaji. The portion size was okay but could've been better for the price they charge. The buttered Pav (bun) was nicely toasted. The flavor of the bhaji, which had certain assorted vegetables, was just okay. It was mild in taste and could use better masala for the dish it is. Actually, my parent's preparation is much better. The Sev Puri was delicious and I liked it. It's a good filling snack. The best item was the Thandai milkshake. It was nicely sweet and perfect to wash down the spicy and savory meal. Thandai is usually made with a mixture of almonds, fennel seeds, watermelon kernels, rose petals, pepper, poppy seeds, cardamom, saffron, milk and sugar. Overall, I had an okay experience. I wasn't really wowed by anything to rave about and go back anytime soon. Except for the Thandai drink which I have not had before, I have had all the items elsewhere which tasted better. If you are curious about certain type of Indian street food w/o worrying about curry and spices that can overwhelm you, then go check out Jay Bhavani.

Since my nickname is Zahid and he knows how much I love nihari, he snapped a photo of the restaurant and sent it to me. I jokingly told him to bring some for the "owner" (meaning me), but I didn't expect him to take it seriously. He ended up dining there, loved the nihari, and decided to order an extra portion to go. Then he drove seven and a half hours all the way to Minneapolis and delivered it to me today. After reheating it, I can honestly say--it was absolutely delicious. I usually don't write reviews for places I haven't visited in person. However, after tasting the nihari from Zahid Nihari, I was genuinely impressed and felt compelled to share my experience. This restaurant is now at the top of my list for future trips to the greater Chicago area. Wishing them all the very best! P.S.: I'm not the owner and have no affiliation with Zahid Nihari--I just happen to share the same name.

This restaurant is amazing when it comes to food quality and quantity, service, decor, good attitude. I ordered halwa puri and it was great.

My only suggestion is to improve the bathroom cleanliness, I know people just make it messy doesn't matter how many times you clean it but still a good restaurant deserves a clean bathroom. It was still better than most restaurants I have seen but still the room for improvement is always there.

They let us do the soups one-by-two which was great because sometimes the appetizer portions can be so large that you don't have too much room for the entree.

The rest of the group had a variety of the other rice and noodle dishes, everyone enjoyed their meal.

Anyway, somewhat clean, one guy running the whole shop and not overly helpful when asking him about what is popular or for recommendations. But after using Yelp, thought we would try the soup and the spring roll for starters. Schezuan spring roll was super good. Crispy, different flavor, tasty sauce. Sweet corn soup was also very good, creamy and interesting. Now the hot garlic momos were eh... can't put my finger on it, but just eh. Veggie Schezuan was OK but soooooo much gravy. Tell them half for sure. Semi spice but seriously swimming in gravy so just visually deterrent. Then tried the chicken manchurian because that was highly recommended. Another eh flavor with excessive gravy. Lastly got the burnt garlic chicken fried rice to go and it was spicy and pretty tasty... sounds like a better option.

How does this happen after confirming a few hrs ago? I had to make do with a generic off the shelf cake to not ruin the bday plans but I cannot trust this place ever again. While I was waiting for the cake to be packed, there was another customer who was waiting for 30 mins for their food. Another lady ordered a puff and they microwaved her puff! Is this for real? They have a microwave right there near the counter haha!! Poor lady got a soggy puff. Their pricing is also very off. Not sure how they are legally doing this. A cake is marked as $41 on display, when they ring it up, it's $36 and then they charge 3% on card transactions. How does 3% plus $36 add up to $41? Speaking of ambiance, their ceiling looks like it has never been cleaned. This place is a disaster from every possible aspect.
