Shahi Nihari and Chopsticks

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding experience at Shahi Nihari & Chopsticks! We recently hosted our team outing for around 50 people, and everything—from parking accessibility to private dining arrangements—was extremely well managed and stress-free. The food was absolutely amazing. Our menu included nihari, chicken tikka boti, veg Hakka noodles, garlic chicken in sauce, chicken biryani, along with tea and accompaniments, and every single dish was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared. The variety worked beautifully for a mixed crowd, and the quality was consistent across all items. The staff was courteous, attentive, and very accommodating for a group of our size, which made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. The private dining setup was ideal for team bonding and conversations. Overal

Indo pak restaurant in Villa park. Food was decent but all of us ended up having stomach upset the next day. Taste was pretty good with authentic spicy food. Some of the dishes are pricy but mostly reasonable. They need to improve their parking which feels like a tight squeeze especially with snow in winter. Wish also they had better interior decoration.

If you’re fasting and considering whether to try Shahi Nihari’s buffet for Iftar, please don’t make the mistake I did. This was, without exaggeration, the worst experience I’ve ever had. The buffet items were cold — not lukewarm, but genuinely cold. Not a single dish had proper flavor. The biryani had a strange aftertaste, and to make matters worse, there was uncooked meat being served. That alone was unacceptable. The service was just as disappointing. Staff were inattentive and failed to refill trays in a timely manner. Several Iftar items ran out and were not replaced, leaving guests waiting and frustrated. To top it off, the owner’s attitude was arrogant and dismissive, which only added to the negative experience. Overall, this was an extremely disappointing and frustrating Iftar. I

First time trying them & their food was wonderful. The interior of the restaurant was nice too. I really enjoyed the butter chicken & chicken 65, just didn’t like the 20% tip if it’s 5 or more people, but good food. 8/9/2025

We recently attended the Iftar buffet and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The food lacked flavor across the board, and several items were barely warm. The Chinese dishes were especially bland, and the chicken was evidently undercooked. Stations were not being refilled in a timely manner — we waited nearly five minutes just to get naan. For a buffet, especially during Iftar when timing matters, this level of service is unacceptable. What made the experience worse was the response from management. When we tried to provide constructive feedback, the owner was dismissive and rude, insisting the food was perfect rather than listening to customer concerns. At one point, he told us to “take your money and go.” This isn’t about getting money back — it’s about quality, account
