    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.

    07/12/26 - After spending a few hours @ the Fashion Outlet Mall my wife & I went to Maharaj…read moreRestaurant for an early dinner just last 3 pm. We missed the lunch specials which go from 11am - 2:30pm. This is located @ 3400 River Road in Franklin Park just 2.8 miles south of The Fashion Outlet Mall on the west side of River Road. Don't blink or you'll drive right by it. Trust me when I say you won't want to do this. When we arrived we were the only people there. We were greeted by Kennedy our server. He recommended an item from the Chefs Recommendation a Maharaj Mix Grill that came w/an assortment of meats like Tandori Chicken (excellent), Seekh Kabob (ground lamb sausage (excellent), Malala Kabob (chicken seasoned w/yogurt, cream cheese, garlic, cardamom & nutmeg, Dal & Butter Chicken. This also came w/lentil beans, grilled naan bread (charred) excellent. This all came on a small iron skillet w/grilled onions sizzling on the iron skillet.. We also ordered a dish of mild butter chicken that for me should have been spicer but that's the way my wife wanted it). There was a tiny condiment w/a spicy green sauce which helped w/the mild butter chicken & a milder red sauce. The Chefs Recommendation of Maharaj Mix Grill was $28. This was an awesome choice as it came w/a great assortment of different meats, grilled onion, grilled naan bread, lentil beans, a portion of butter chicken & basmati white rice. The stand alone butter chicken for me was lacking some spice & had too much sauce & not enough chicken. For dessert they brought us hot sweet ball w/a syrupy sauce that was tasty. I throughly enjoyed this meal as the flavors, seasoning & spices were very good. Kennedy was our server for the bulk of our meal but he must have left @ 4pm (shift change) because we had a different server. Either way the food & service was excellent. I know this is a place I will rerun to.

This is a cre that doesn't seem to like anything , but I'll declare victory in that they like it! Mission accomplished! One thing is the place was pretty empty so that's a bit disconcerting when that happens. Later one 2 other tables were seated. On to the food, the dry gobi Manchurian was pretty good. The others through the chicken they had too spicy, it they ordered it spicy, so. The for the mains, the paneer makhani was pretty good. They out too few paneer pieces I'd say. Dal makhani was also good. I think the naan were kind of mid. Didn't taste like they had a tandoor. It was kind of dense instead of soft/chewy. Well, it's a good place. I'll have to try out their downtown location. Hopefully more lively.

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!

Lal maas is delectable. I never thought I'd have murgh kali mirch this good, right here in the good ol US of A. Top class biryani. Mango crème brûlée among the many fantastic desserts. Every single employee made it obvious that Mantra strives to be hospitable and attentive. They handle larger parties like champs. My daughter's birthday is now a core memory thanks to our experience at Mantra.

Upon my first visit on a Thursday for lunch, the waitress Nur provided excellent service to our table. She was patient, pleasant, and provided answers to our many questions. Just loved her service with a smile and uplifting energy. My friends and I ate hard and everyone enjoyed their food. I tried the lentil soup which was wonderful and I had the mushroom guvec with rice on the side that was delicious. We were served tea as an after dinner refresher which was nice. We noticed the bakery on the way out and they had so many treats ready to be ordered and taken home. The second visit was terrible. I came for lunch on a Tuesday and it wasn't busy. The lahmacon is offered as a lunch special and I asked if I could have the cheesemacon for the special. It's the same version with just cheese and no meat. My waiter Jamal straight told me no. I found that very odd so I inquired further because they are the same price on the menu and it's without meat. The answer still didn't change. I simply had a few more questions about other menu items and Jamal seemed agitated by then. He was not even trying to be nice. I ordered two entrees. I paid full price for the cheesemacon and had a pide with kashkaval cheese. Jamal brought my food and NEVER came back to my table. I watched him provide service to all the other tables during that time. I was fine and didn't need anything, but I didn't deserve to be treated that way for being pleasantly inquisitive. I really felt bothered by this because out of all my years of eating out, I never felt that a server treat me poorly personally for being myself. I've had bad service before just because the service is bad overall and that is different. I like the food so I reluctantly returned for a third time and had breakfast. Service was standard and the food was good. My mushroom omelette was fine. The traditional french toast was solid. This review should be one star but it is four without Jamal.
