Went here for a late-night dinner around 11pm, and it was surprisingly busy for that time of the day. We ordered the Chicken 65 and Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani. The biryani was definitely on the greasier side, but taste-wise, it was absolutely mind-blowing. Honestly reminded me of the ones I've had back home in Hyderabad, so major points for that. They had fried chicken pieces on top, which I felt were a bit extra, but still good. The Chicken 65 had great flavor too (again a little greasy) and was slightly low on salt for my liking, but overall, it was decent and enjoyable. For dessert, I personally wanted the Kaddu ki Kheer. It was not bad, but not amazing too. I've had better ones before. But then the server strongly recommended we try their Fruit Trifle. Even though we were already stuffed, we just ordered it and wow, I'm glad we did. It was creamy, rich, and just packed with all the fruity, custardy goodness. I legit couldn't stop at just one bite. Definitely one of the best things. Service was quick. Nothing fancy in terms of ambience; it's more of a casual place, but you can totally check it out for the food. Would recommend it if you're craving Hyderabadi flavors in Chicago. read more

are you KIDDING ME! this HALEEM slaps so hard i fall asleep dreaming about it. my besties dad was like i've been all over the world and this is the best haleem and he's so freaking right. also can never eat butter chicken anywhere else now that i've had the real version. even the daal was lovely. the student takeout meal option was wonderful to learn about. the servers were laid-back and the vibes were like an outdoor set-up inside. definitely casual sitdown. i had to go back the next day and get more haleem. i ate it 4 out of my 6 days in chicago including leftovers on the literal drive to the airport. cannot recommend enough. read more

We thought we would try this restaurant as it had some good reviews. I ordered butter chicken and when we opened it up at home the chicken was raw also asked for mild and it was "hell hot". I took the food back and they offered to remake it. Got it home and the food was literally swimming in grease- the texture also looked very weird - not like anything I have seen before, also spicier than before. Took food back again and asked for full refund. Not recommended. read more

Hands down to the best BIRYANI here in USA. Had Goat biryani with Goat haleem,Chicken 65 and they tasted ammmmazing. Highly recommend this place when you're in Chicago. Friendly staff,It's bit difficult to find a table as the dine inn is small and always crowded, be prepared to expect some wait time. Added some of my snaps from this place. read more

Food is so good but worst service,they took 30 minutes to get drink we ordere.Owner was racist and prioritiz only hindi speaking people.

Came to yet another Indian restaurant on Devon Avenue. It seems like this is one of the newer ones. Tawakkul is a pretty small place. Has two sections that are the dining room, and to order at the counter. Looks like the menu is a combination of Chinese and Indian. After looking at the menu, we decided on one of the few vegetarian choices. It only has a few to choose from. The rest of the menu is meaty like chicken, goat, and seafood. Ended up getting the Bhindi Masala. It's about $9 for quite a lot of this. This includes rice with an entree, which is something that's becoming rarer unfortunately. Good spice to it. This also came with sambar, which added some even more spiciness. Good as far as being authentic. It has a few Chinese items such as noodles along with the Indian food. There's not a whole lot but there's a few items for vegetarians. read more

I was excited to see one of my favorite dishes, Tahari, on the menu something you don't find everywhere. The dish was flavorful, but I think a few small tweaks could take it to the next level. Overall, enjoyed it! read more

Everything was just perfect. I love this restaurant in their food. I should've given them a review a couple of months ago but I am doing that now. I would go there or get takeout. They are great very fast and detailed. By the way the ingredients are what you would expect from a high end restaurant. read more

worst restaurant I have ever tried. They were only empty trays. I won't suggest anyone to go.

Hands down best hydrabad taste level food . No other restaurants will get you this taste , second would be king kabob , then Hyderabad house . read more

I love there lamb Briyani, they give you so many pieces of lamb . Don't be fooled by the small restaurant there pack some bunch. Lamb fry is delicious!!! read more

Food was amazing, especially for the price and huge portions. Service was eh. The samosas and chicken biriyani were soooo good.

Ordered takeout. Every dish came covered in an inch layer of oil. Currently experiencing intestine rot from a few bites of this greasy mush. Nobody could finish their food. Avoid at all costs. read more

AMAZING !! Everything here is fire. The best Daal on Devon hands down! Servers frequently check on you and top up your water. I cannot even judge the meat because I don't eat any meat but if you're a vegan or a vegetarian, heaven awaits you! I literally cannot even believe that no one has rated this place yet on yelp. read more

Amazing, Delicious Food. Goat/Lamb Biryani is #1 compare to any restaurant in Chicago and Suburbs. I have always preferred takeaway for the past couple of years and enjoy their Biryani at home with family. Great Food and Great Prices. I have recommended this place to many friends and family members. read more

good food, reasonable prices but staff need to do a good scrubbing and deep cleaning, I think it will be more inviting for people if it was clean or fresher the staff is friendly and it seems very busy so food is tasty. read more

This is a place to avoid. I came into what I found was a dirty restaurant. The bathroom had no soap, even though it had the required poster that all employees are required to wash their hands after using the bathroom. I ordered Butter Chicken and the sauce, instead of silky smooth, had separated into a oily mess. Definitely a no! read more
