    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.

    This Place Is Uniquely Pakistani..Proudly Serving Their Community…read more. Years ago, Beau & I came here, during their Iftar Buffet, & since then, this place has delighted, each time we've dined here.. We then dined a second time, during another Iftar Buffet, also stopping by on another occasion, just after lunchtime. Whilst on two other occasions, we came here for dinner, ordering a la carte. And, each meal we've had here, mostly meets the mark !! What We Observed, Is As Follows: The Ambiance: Is clean, simple, & cafeteria like, offering plenty of seating for gatherings.. They do add Decorative Flourishes here & there, to add Charm & Festivity to the air. But during dinner time : the eatery is near empty. However, during Iftar: The Eatery Is Positively Packed, Alive With Communal Energy!! The Food: Is Rich, Meaty & Aromatically Spicy, as one would expect with Pakistani cuisine.. Would Recommend: Their Finger Fish: fried in a spicy breading, & perfect when dipped in their green chili sauce.. Their Karahi Ghosht: meaty & robust in flavor, served in a rich red gravy.. Their Aloo Kheema: which has a rustic homemade quality .. Their Chicken Fajita Omelette: (which I learned to my dismay, is not offered during dinnertime) Their Garlic Fries Their Zeera Rice (though I wish it were more spiced) Their Paratha Their Mango Shake And, all of the flavorful items, offered on their Iftar Buffet.. Lastly, we recommend: Their Chai, which has subtle hints of cardamom, & is Always the Sweet Ending to our meals here. Would Not Recommend: Their Butter Chicken: (to my dismay, I found the white meat too dry, & that the gravy tasted tangy, as opposed to rich & buttery..) The Service: For The Most Part, Is Satisfactory: But upon asking: I was told the last time we dined here: that they don't offer Khamiri (fermented) Paratha. (And yet I read a review here on Yelp, which said they do indeed make this ?!) Hope next time, the cook caters to my request.. They could also improve by: caring enough to replace the styrofoam cups for water, & the paper cups for tea, with Real Glassware & Chinaware.. But Overall: This Humble Place Has It All: A Neighborhood Eatery, Offering Hearty Pakistani Cuisine, From Everyday Fare, To Pakistani Delicacies!! And, Situated Nearby, Saving Us Hours, From A Trip To The City!! Oh yes, We Love It Here, At Zahid Nihari !!

The entrees is kinda where they lost quality. Though there were many good looking options, the flavor wasn't there. It was way too much masala in the rice dish and gravy to the point the food isn't enjoyable. For example the biryani had giant clumps of masala that were just inedible.

It was a little difficult to find parking in the lot due to Ramadan, but it wasn't a problem to park along the nearby street. We waited a bit for them to finish up the mango lassi, but it was definitely worth it. Service was prompt and kind. The portions were huge and definitely more than enough to feed our small family. We ordered veggie samosas, a mixed platter of kabab, chicken biryani, garlic naan, and papri chaat. My partner got the nachos which filled the brim of the container (and were spiced perfectly). We were stuffed to the gills and still eating by the end of our meal. Everything was so well seasoned and portioned. We'll need to come again to try more of their extensive menu!

It's awkwardly quiet in there with no music and just listening to their cooler fan making noises. Restaurant is messy with buffet a make shift office at the back tables. Warning. If you are not used to Indian food be prepared to be burping up spices the entire night. The chicken biryani was very tasty the butter chicken was good but a bit oily. I'd skip the chaat. It's cold with a warm samosa on top. Was kind of a mess and not very good.

High prise I thought and I think I've gotten the love for Indian Bistro too! There's several tables available for dine in, but I think it's more a takeaway place. They had a table reserved for 8 in the corner by the front and apparently we were the honored party as we had the opportunity to dine there as we needed two tables. It's the best seat I thought since they literally handed the food to me over the counter once it was plated. The staff is super friendly and they made sure that our food was absolutely piping hot upon service. The value is solid. We had the chicken 65, butter chicken, and hakka noodles. While I thought the hakka noodles were a tad on the softer side the flavor was awesome. Butter chicken was rich and flavorful and the chicken 65 was my fav, reminded me of a similar Chinese dish. I'll definitely come back to try more of the menu.
