Mashallah! This restaurant offers exceptional service and has an amazing atmosphere. The chai is perfect! The place is clean and filled with friendly smiles. It's a peaceful and convenient spot for making salat downstairs, right in downtown Chicago. Food: 5/5.
The guy who works there is extremely cheap with the food I ordered rice and lamb supposedly has lamb but it was only a little small piece the size of the tip of a finger and when I went back to him to tell him that there was no meat in there he gave me an attitude and acted so weird like I was asking for free food not that I’ve paid almost 20 bucks for it ! Terrible service and nasty attitude
High quality food, good-sized portions, accommodating counter servers, not much atmosphere. Great for a quick and filling meal.Food: 4/5
Tabaq Restaurant near downtown Chicago is hands-down one of the best spots for authentic South Asian cuisine. I recently dined there and was truly impressed with the quality and flavor of their food. The fish was fresh, well-seasoned, and grilled to perfection—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It had just the right amount of spice without overpowering the natural flavor. The mandi was absolutely delicious. The rice was fragrant and perfectly cooked, and the way it was served with tender meat (and sometimes fish! made it a hearty, satisfying dish. It’s clear they know how to get the flavors just right. But the highlight for me was the mutton khorma—rich, creamy, and full of deep, complex spice. The mutton was so tender it practically fell apart with a fork, and the gravy was perfect with naan or even just by itself. Overall, amazing food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Recommended dishes: Tandoori Chicken
