Shahi Nihari And Chopsticks

Looking for #halal #desi restaurants, I saw #Shahi close to my hotel. It has been nearly a decade that I visited them. It has good decor and ambiance with very friendly staff. I wanted to dine but got too late for it. Had to go for takeout. The meat quality was great. The only thing I had to drain a bit was oil/ghee/roghan. I like “roghan” but it was a bit too much for what works for me. #BihariKabab can be a bit more moist and soft. It is a nice place to dine. #travel #Chicago #food #desifood #Nihari

We decided to eat here to celebrate a birthday. The service was phenomenal with someone always coming to our table to ask if we needed anything. Never have I ever been to a restaurant where the service was so quick. The staff was also very friendly, creating a nice atmosphere. We ordered the Kung Pao Chicken, Black Pepper Mongolian Beef, Chicken Haaka noodles, Hot & Sour Chicken Soup and Chicken Lollipops for the appetizer. The food was amazing, especially the Haaka noodles. If you're a fan of indo/pak fusion Chinese, I would highly recommend this place.

Great food and service. Check out my YouTube channel HALAL DIGEST for a full review on the chicken biryani, butter chicken Makhni, nihari and the self proclaimed halal Digest daiquiri. EDIT 2021 We also reviewed their halal Chinese dishes, check out our Youtube Video Review-HALAL DIGEST for full review of their Chop Suey, Mongolian Beef, Chicken Lollipops and more!! Edit 2023: they upped their Chinese food for sure. Beef fried rice was excellent. General Tso chicken is great(too sweet so don’t have too much of the sauce). Mongolian beef was tender but next time will get it dry(without gravy).

Shahi Nihari has always been a pleasant experience. It is the best combination of exceptional food quality and outstanding customer service that that puts them among the top Pakistani restaurants in Chicagoland area. I meet the owner Mr. Mahmood during our last visit who was very hospitable, professional, and made sure we have an excellent experience. The staff is extremely well trained and our server, Fareed went above and beyond to ensure the timely delivery of food and beverages; suggested drinks and dessert items that were exquisite; and periodically checked in on us throughout our visit. Needless to say this restaurant is my family’s favorite goto spot due to the ambience and great food quality, and the top choice when it comes to catering food for larger family gatherings!
