Ghareeb Nawaz UIC

"I love Ghareeb Nawaz. I used to go all the time when I went to UIC, and it slaps every single time. I was craving butter chicken, so I ordered for “dine-in”, and they were so generous with the portions. The food came out super quickly too, and the guy behind the counter was really nice. I also got a potato samosa, which was absolutely massive, and it paired so well with the white sauce. The mango lassi was creamy and refreshing, and it balanced out the meal perfectly. Honestly, the leftovers might’ve hit even harder; I reheated everything later and it was still just as good. Comfort food, huge portions, fast service, and consistently delicious. I love Ghareeb."

"This place absolutely smacks. The sheer value alone is mind boggling. For $20 I can get enough food to last me almost 4 meals. And everything tastes awesome as well. OG biryani with bone in chicken is great, it’s fragrant and spicy as it should be. And their butter chicken is probably the best I’ve had. Don’t come here expecting a high end restaurant experience, this is just excellent, value driven, delicious indo-pak food"

"Let me just say the portions are huge. I tried The butter chicken rice bowl, chicken briyani, Frontier chicken and the garlic naan everything was amazing! I had a taste for some butter chicken and when I got to the resturaunt I wanted everything on the menu I had enough food for the 5 people I was with plus more. I only got a picture of the butter chicken because everyone was digging in before I could get pictures."

"I’ll be honest, I was a little hesitant to try this place because of the mixed reviews, but I’m really glad I did. I ordered it on DoorDash and got the butter chicken with naan and extra white rice. Everything was really good. The portion of chicken was generous and the sauce had a nice level of heat, not too spicy, just really flavorful and balanced. The naan was fresh, warm, and perfectly chewy. It really brought the whole meal together. For the price, the portions and quality were definitely worth it. If you’re unsure because of the reviews, I’d say go ahead and try it. I’ll definitely be ordering again."

"Best food ever! The food I ordered was delicious. All the food items on the menu should be tried. Samee has amazing customer service skills and explains all items slowly and clearly. He even gave me an item to taste before I bought it and that was very nice of him. I know I will be back soon and will definitely tell my family and friends about this place. It is in front of UIC in Chicago and a lot of students eat here. My son brought me here since we were in the city and I am glad I came here. Thank you Samee for your hospitality and exceptional customer service. We appreciate you!!!"

"I don't know how this place is not rated close to 5 stars on Google. Considering the prices (relatively inexpensive casual dining), I think the quality is incredible. The meat is always tender, and every dish I've had has great flavor (and I've tried at least 10). I've never eaten in the restaurant, so maybe there is something about the space or dine-in experience that is lacking, but I don't know how the food is not 5 stars for the price and style of food. I love this place."
