Ghareeb Nawaz Uic - Chicago

Came here twice, got the butter chicken bowl, then the chili chicken paratha lunch special, both were perfect. Also got mango lassi which was pretty good. Always get the $5 lunch special, completely worth it.

Found this place/chain among searches for best biryani places in the Chicago area. Regret to say it most certainly is not. Wanted to get the chicken(bone in biriyani, but they were out of it, so tried the boneless version. Was a to go order, realized Raitha/salan wasn't given (standard accompaniments Doubt basmathi rice was used, as it was lumpy/starchy (vs being light, fluffy, separated . Felt like a concentrate/gravy was used to mix into badly prepared rice, severely lacking flavor. Chicken was ok. Overall 1/5. Also ordered Butter Paneer a couple of Chapathis (wheat! , both were great! 4/5 Small take out place, about 6 8 tables. 1/5 Restroom, faucet wasn't working, no paper. 1/5.
