    This is our first time here. The food is nice and spicy and they have a yogurt sauce you can add to your food to tame it a bit. They serve canned and bottled beverages and they offer free tap water. There is plain rice and a Biryani rice too. The pieces were clumped together... they really need to stir and keep the items looking good. They use warmers but I feel like the food was not fresh. There was a chicken curry dish that appeared to be boneless however there were small bone fragments that my husband had to pick out of his mouth. The Tandoori chicken was really pink inside but not sure if that was how it is supposed to look like... we have eaten it at a lot of places and that is not what I am used to seeing. The naan was very good. It is $19.99 per adult but not worth it for what was available. I think the most I would want to pay is &13.99. I cannot have tomatoes and there were several tomato dishes but I still had a few options available for me. I wish there was more food options. The appetizer was a fried piece of onion. I posted a video of the Buffett so you can see it! The guy who waited on us was really kind and professional and the restaurant was nice and clean! I love the booth it was very comfortable.

    Wah Taj is amazing!! This Indo-Pak fusion restaurant replaced the old Indian restaurant "Sankalp". The inside is completely renovated and remodeled and looks so much better - way more modern. My group and I shared a variety of entrees - we tried the Paneer tikka masala, butter chicken, chicken 65, garlic naan, vegetable samosa & mango lassi. Every item we tried was delicious and everything was made to order - be patient when you order curries as they are making them fresh - no premade curries here. They can make the meals to your spice level from mild to very hot. The service was excellent - extremely friendly and happy to tell you about the chefs specialties or anything all the menu. Prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be back to try their lunch buffet ($20) and their wraps. Thank you Wah Taj!

    I stumbled upon this new restaurant at a local festival in Naperville. Apparently they just opened a month ago in the Mount Prospect area, and I'm so glad they came out this way! I got the food to-go, so the pics are featured as "take out", but I will definitely make the trip out (one of these days) to get some more photos of the ambiance and food. The biryani was fresh! The mutton meat is soft and tender, not too spicy, perfect taste. The kabob rolls are on point! Idk what's in the sauce but towards the end I found myself licking my fingers till it was all gone. I can't wait to try the other options on their menu. Give this place a try. 10/10.

    Chicken Biryani

    Discovered this place when looking for a place that's open late and has chicken biryani. It's a small but well kept restaurant with friendly service. Biryani tasted fresh and authentic; would definitely come back to try other dishes!! Love that it's open late

    Very clean, modern ambiance, with very good buffet variety and selection. Service was outstanding. The owner, Saif, was very hands-on and ensured we were enjoying the food. If you opt for the menu items, be sure to give a bit of time because they make everything from scratch.

We've dined in once but typically order takeout. The inside of the restaurant is fairly large in their new location, so we were able to walk in on a weekend day for lunch. Service is good enough - nothing special. Most times we're put on hold when we call but they are kind and accommodating. They have always been consistent with quality and time quoted for pick-ups, which we really appreciate. Our go-to is always a Chicken Dosa and we mix between Spicy Butter Chicken or their Chicken Pepper Fry. Sometimes all three ;) Their chicken dosa just hits the spot every time. Crispy, packed, and flavorful. We pop it in the air fryer to add extra crisp and works like a charm. We also warm up a side of cauliflower rice and it's perfect. Makes great leftovers too. It is on the higher end but quality is noticed and they hook it up with chicken in each dish.

I ordered chicken lollipop and vada sambhar(not pictured), husband ordered a chicken kothhu parotta and we ordered a veg thali for mom. The lollipop was pretty good, flavourful and tasted just like what we get back in India, the Kotthu Parotta was decent, I felt it lacked a little kick that usually comes from a certain type of chicken curry that's added while preparing the dish. The thali had some good stuff and some okay-ish. Some of the items in the thaali were cold and being one of the first few consumers that day I expected everything to be piping hot. The vada was amazing crispy on the outside soft on the inside in short absolute yummmm!! And we washed it all down with a cool glass of Mango Lassi that was the perfect finisher! The highlights for the day were the chicken lollipop and the vada sambhar!

We started with the chicken lollipops. The taste was decent, but apparently the chickens they use are roughly the size of sparrows. Next came the Bang Bang Shrimp. The chef might want to take a field trip to PF Chang's and try their Dynamite Shrimp just to see what the dish is supposed to accomplish. The momos were ordered as appetizers, which I assume means they're intended to arrive before the meal. Ours showed up just as we were finishing our entrées. Maybe they were traveling from Nepal on foot. The goat curry was actually pretty good, which briefly gave us hope. Then the garlic naan arrived and tasted suspiciously like something that had recently completed a successful career at Costco. If they have a tandoor, it's apparently being used for storage. To add to the experience, there was live singing. Unfortunately, the entertainment seemed to receive more attention than the food. My humble suggestion: spend less time rehearsing songs and more time rehearsing recipes. The grand finale? The morning after, both my son and I were dealing with indigestion. Nothing severe, but it was a fitting encore to an already memorable evening. I rarely write negative reviews, but when a restaurant charges premium prices, I expect more than tiny appetizers, delayed food, questionable naan, and a digestive adventure. The biggest mystery of the night remains how this place maintains such a high rating.

Our server was Ricky, who was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and also not rushing our table. We see each other rarely so there was a lot of talking. We were seated and greeted, ordered the chicken 65, the bread basket (all different types of naan), and rice chips came to the table with two different chutneys. The chicken was dynamite and the onion garlic stuffed naan was my favorite. Tough to stop eating when you start with such amazing apps. They ordered butter chicken, and I got the eggplant, which always has been a personal favorite. Here it was beautifully plated, had some heat, and also flavorful as hell. I had to stop eating after a couple pieces because I was heating up massively. The weather was gorgeous so the doors were open. I was dressed for work, so I was blazing hot. We sat and talked for a while, then decided to come back and order desserts and coffee. Mango creme brûlée and the pistachio ice cream looked great. I had a mango smoothie which was refreshing and not too sweet. Ricky told us it wasn't super busy so we could stay, which was very kind of him. I have been exhausted all week, lots of meetings and I'll be flying home tomorrow. But this is definitely a large variety of options for people to find what they like. Thanks to Ricky and the team for a wonderful dinner! Support small businesses!
