The fried rice noodles were perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and nicely balanced with spices. The Chicken 65 was crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and had that authentic spicy kick just like real Indian street-style taste.
The romali roti was soft, thin, and fresh – paired perfectly with the chicken. And the dahi puri was super refreshing, sweet and tangy, with the perfect crunch.
Everything tasted just like authentic Indian food – rich in flavor and beautifully prepared. Highly recommended!

One of the best Hyderabad authentic biryani you will find in Schaumburg area with excellent customer service. If you want to try genuine hyderabad biryani you should stop here.

I ordered the Mutton Fry here only because the place is HMS approved, thinking at least the quality would match the price. What I got instead was almost all bones — 98% bones, maybe 2% meat, and that little meat was just fat. Honestly felt like paying $19 for oily bones.
The dish was extremely salty, greasy, and had that overcooked burnt flavor. They tossed in a few curry leaves and chilies to make it look fancy, but it didn’t help the taste at all. The meat pieces in the photo are basically just bones with traces of fat — zero actual mutton.
Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone — total waste of money. Save yourself the disappointment and go somewhere that serves real meat for your money.

They served rumali roti but it was uncooked raw and they gave the rumali roti which is ready made.wasnt even warm enough
Called the restaurant before leaving they said items are available and informed them that am coming from far location. Drove down an hour and they say items are not available .
Menu is not updated no shami parata.
Food was okay.

I recently had the pleasure of trying this dish, and I must say—it was absolutely delicious! Every bite was bursting with flavor, perfectly balanced, and cooked to perfection. The presentation was beautiful, making it almost too good to eat (almost!). The freshness of the ingredients really stood out, and you could tell a lot of care went into preparing it. Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for a satisfying meal, this is definitely worth trying. Highly recommend

Over priced given the portions , over salty. Biryani doesn’t seem like authentic Hyderabad biryani, loaded with masala and salt, fish fry salty and had bones, chicken leg pieces also very salty. Went for Biryani but was disappointed.

I visited this restaurant last week with my family and really enjoyed the experience, so much that I ended up visiting twice more with my friends! The food here is fantastic — I especially loved the Biryani, Chicken 65, Majestic Chicken, as well as the Fried Rice and Noodles.
I also took the time to inquire about the authenticity of their food being halal, and I’m happy to confirm that it is genuinely halal certified.
Overall, a great place with delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely recommend it!
