Where to Eat Out During Ramadan Around Chicago | Eater Chicago

"Anmol was founded by Mohammad Patel to provide American Muslims with food they could trust: he sources the meat from his own slaughterhouse. The inside of this restaurant has a nice golden glow from the lights. Appetizers include samosas, fries, and kebabs, while the entree menu offers chicken and mutton biryani. There are additional locations in Naperville and Milwaukee." - Tasmiha Khan

Very good Indo/Pakistani restaurant with mix staff from India & Pakistan. We ordered Chicken Biryani, Mix Vegetables and tandoori roti. Chicken Biryani was exceptionally good and my kids liked it as well. Mix veg was below average as it was sweet. Tandoori roti are of pure wheat which is good. Cleanliness in restaurant and washrooms was at par but we found utensils not so clean. Pricing is also average. Staff: Super cooperative Price: Average Food Quantity: Above Average Food Quality: Average Location: Convenient

We visited the restaurant in group of 5 and all came for the first time. The restaurant did not disappoint us at all. The food, server, ambiance was exceptional. We saw smaller and bigger groups than ours and they were comfortably seated as well. It's spacious enough and on a Saturday you can visit without reservation. However, they can totally work on their bathrooms and the sanitation around it. Parking wouldn't be a problem late if you're visiting late at night.

Highly highly disappointed with the buffet. First we called them to ask what was on the buffet and the price and they hung up on us twice. We ended up driving here and we found out the buffet is almost $40 per person. My honest opinion, you can use that money and actually go somewhere to order better food. The meat was dry. They served lamb which was completely cold. Once the samosas ran out, they didn’t fill them up. I personally would’ve not written a review if they charged me 15-20 for this meal but charging $40 is completely outrageous. In the month of Ramadan after fasting all day hungry. And they seated us in the back banquet hall where there were people praying, super disrespectful from my point of view.

Had an extraordinary Iftar Buffet experience at Anmol BBQ, located on Devon Ave in Chicago. The buffet was excellent and offered a wide variety of mouthwatering dishes such as Afghani Kababs that melted in our mouths, perfectly seasoned chicken Boti, flavorful Peshawari Karahi ,fresh butter and garlic Naan, tender mutton Biryani and refreshing hot Galab Jamman along with delightfully sweet fresh Gajar Halwa for dessert . The quality of the meat used by Anmol BBQ's was also very good. Iftar Buffet was exceptional and unparalleled, complemented by outstanding customer service from the team led by Mr Abrar and Mr Azam who ensured timely refills without any delays to enhance our iftar experience. Ambiance : 10/10 Food; 9/10 Customer Servixe 10/10 Overall experience 10/10.

Pretty poor experience. Prior to combining restaurants with Al Bawadi, the food quality was superb. I had place an order for pickup - 3 Bihari kabob paratha rolls. Once I got home, I found out it was some sort of chicken boti wrap that was extremely spicy and the chicken was not fully cooked. Extremely disappointing experience.

Ordered the Anmol Chicken platter with Malai Boti, Harabara Chicken, Bihari Chicken, Mango Habanero. Absolutely phenomenal dish: the chicken was perfectly cooked with large succulent pieces, and the flavors were rich and unique.

I do not recommend the pizza from here at all. I recently ordered pizza from here and I have to say it’s by far the worst pizza I ever eaten on Devon. Apparently it’s a new menu item and it really makes me wonder if they had tried their own pizza before putting it on the menu. I ordered two of the chicken tikka pizzas for carry out and upon opening the box, I knew it was gonna be way off. The shape was funky and definitely not a circle. Right off the bat, one of the pizzas had a thin crust and the other had a thicker crust. Keep in mind, they have no option for a thick or thin crust. I also did not request a thin crust for any of them. First and foremost, there was barely any chicken on the pizza. The chicken on the pizza also seemed like it were left over pieces of chicken they had threw on top of the pizza. Next, the dough was extremely raw and it felt as if I were eating a piece of regular bread. Very unappealing. On top of that, the cheese; it was hard and was not melted thoroughly. The sauce under it tasted like your normal jarred sauce from the store which was also very unappetizing. To top all of this, the wait time for it was 60 minutes when there was no rush at all? It shouldn’t take that long to cook a pizza. Together it all did not taste very pleasant. Their food is very inconsistent and does not match the description provided. It’s a flop. I would not be coming back here for sure. You’re better off making your own pizza at home rather then getting it from here! Save your money.

Probably the best restaurant we've been to on Devon while visiting! The restaurant is really clean and the service is spectacular! The food was delicious and made with quality ingredients! Kinda reminds me of the food we get in Atlanta. Definitely coming back here next time we are visiting!

Walking around Devon Street looking for a good place to eat, we stumbled upon Anmol since it had a ton to offer. A little disappointed cause we were actually looking for chaat and they came up offering chaat, but nonetheless, we came into a beautiful restaurant with tons of Indian and middle eastern offerings. Service was fine, nothing extraordinary since there were a few times we weren't addressed but then other times where he checked in on us. The food was good - for the adults, which there were 5 of us, the spice level was great. However; we ended up ordering some butter chicken which under the menu was advised no spice, and sadly it was just as spicy as the chicken tikka masala which was marked as spicy. This wasn't an issue for us adults, however we ordered the butter chicken for our toddlers and it was just way too spicy. Glad we ordered the grill platter because we offered that to our little ones instead. There was never an ask about spice levels regardless of indicating spicy or not, so that was hard to navigate for lunch for the little ones. Otherwise, the food was good. We all enjoyed it. The grill platter was probably best because it had tons of flavor. The amount of naan is a little questionable since we ordered 5 and it looked like we only got 2. But still, again, food was good.

Worst place to buy food from. I bought Chicken tikka from here recently and they were burnt and the taste was bland, and also the naan was full of soda with burnt edges.

The food was average. The Biryani was a flop and Palak Ghosh (spinach with meat was so over done the spinach turned into a liquid, the meat was a few rib pieces and no chunks of meat. Imagine paying $18 dollars for it). The meat skillet plate turned out okay. You have to spend sometime to find parking. The service was fast and ambiance is just practical.

Pakistani restaurant w tasty food Food - five stars. Enjoyed palak paneer and the gently crispy naan. Service - three stars. There are many staff, who were all kind, and maybe a little hands-off in their service. We got inaccurate advice from multiple staff about the menu. It would have been better if they'd been forthcoming with us: every single food dish here is spicy. Every single one. Staff eventually made it right, to the extent possible. Ambience - three stars. Maybe because Ramadan was starting in a few days...? Almost nobody present at dinner time after sunset, no music playing, no other customers in the large space.

We got the mixed grill platter which came with these amazing lamb chops, biryani, nihari and a burger that came with some nice curly fries. Overall the food was great! Standouts being the lamb chops and the curly fries lol. The service is good but it can be a little slow when things get packed so I'd say plan for that. Ambiance is nice. This location on devon is further away from the other restaurants so parking is easier too.

My used to go to order from here was butter chicken but now I only the Szechuan Tandoori Chicken Tikka because it's so good! Prices are reasonable for the taste but I wish the quantity was a bit more for Szechuan Tandoori Chicken Tikka! Fast and friendly Customer Service and the restaurant has a nice ambiance as well. Definitely recommend to all if in the mood for Paki/Indian cuisine.

Absolutely fantastic spot for delicious Pakistani cuisine! Their three main barbecue platters are diverse and perfect for two or three people. They come out with the platters filled with sizzling, perfectly charred meats. Have some with buttery naan.

Anmol Barbeque Restaurant is a Casual, family-owned eatery offering traditional Pakistani cuisine made from halal meats. This is by far the best bbq we've had on all of Devon ever! We've tried them all and Anmol is a definite stand out from the rest. The place is very clean and they also have a sink where you can wash your hands before and after eating. Entrees are not only outstanding but generously portioned. They are the only establishment on Devon that puts 3 sauces on the table (cilantro-creamy, mint onion chutney- herby, and a plum - sweet and spicy) to go with all your meats and entrees. The place is packed on weekends but well worth the wait. Staff is professional and won't rush you like some other places there do. Amna was our server and she was very attentive and made sure we had an enjoyable meal. All items are top quality, authentic, freshly made and delicious! This place doesn't disappoint!

Very fancy looking restaurant with lots of light during the day, and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. I liked the ambience right away. I shared one of the barbecue platters with a friend. Anmol platter 2, with afghani kabab, seekh kabab, chicken boti, and chicken tikka. Took a minute to cook, but of course it was worth the wait. Very delicious, great portions, both of us were full by the end. Loved the sauces on the side as well haha. Then I got a free dessert for checking in on yelp, which was great. Got the rasmalai, which was also big enough to split with my friend, and very tasty. I definitely enjoyed this place, and would totally come again. I would recommend it to anyone looking for food in the area.

Devon Avenue was completely packed today and we couldn't find any parking where most of the Indian and Pakistani restaurants are. However, that was a good sign for us to eat at Anmol. We ordered the grill number 2, chicken makhni, and dal fry with butter nan. The food was absolutely scrumptious and satisfying. The restaurant was packed and the service was great. They did remove their pina Colada Lassi from the menu, which is so sad. Please bring it back! Lastly, the bathrooms were not clean though. The restaurant is really nice and I wish the bathrooms were just as nice.

Anmol was the only restaurant who use to serve best food back in the day. But now there food is pathetic. Like it's so bad that you can't even take a bite. Last week I went to a wedding also where Anmol was doing catering. They served Chinese and guess what they served chicken with melon. Like seriously guys what's wrong with you? Lastly I will say please don't waste your money there food is pathetic.

Mango Habanero Chicken is tender and the perfect spice for those who search for the sizzle. Also hands down the BEST mango lassi on the block

Delicious! My family and I were staying in the area and came here on a whim. We were immediately seated, and the service was great! Our waitress was so nice. We ordered the veggie samosas, daal, butter naan, and platter #2 for four people. It was the perfect amount of food! Portions are a good size (a great deal). It was all super flavorful and packed a punch. We even contemplated coming back for dinner the next day it was so good. We 100% recommend and would return.

Wow wow wow, rarely do I eat desi food and truly enjoy every single item we ordered. We had the mixed grill platter, chicken karahi, nihari, roti, and chicken biryani. I'm usually not a grilled desi meat fan but the chicken tikka was juicy and the kabobs were so good. The nihari has a different flavor from other places on Devon and it was nice! Loved the chicken karahi. Was impressed by the biryani and how much chicken they included in the dish! Food was flavorful, authentic, and delicious! Will definitely be returning here. Service could have been better, we felt a bit forgotten about but it was a busy day (Eid). The bathrooms could also be nicer. And the prices are expensive... definitely an occasion meal for Devon. Highly recommend! Can't wait to return and try the other dishes. Eid Mubarak everyone!

Really great place, been wanting to try it forever and glad I finally did! We got one of the BBQ combos and veggie biryani and that's a huge amount of food--but all of it really good. The BBQ items were all super flavorful and juicy. Really nice inside too-and the staff were very welcoming and happy to walk us through things we weren't familiar with. Give it a try!

I have come to this restaurant over the years and have always found it to be a wonderful experience with great fresh food and a very welcoming environment. Last night we went for Iftar and as a non Muslim we were a little unsure about what to do. The staff were so kind and friendly that we felt like family. Also the food was great.

Amazing!!! Reminded my husband so much of where he grew up in Northern India that he wrote "BEST INDIAN FOOD EVER" on our receipt haha. We got: - palak paneer - mutton biryani - chicken Mayo roll - onion kulcha (huge portion! There are 4 huge slices - definitely enough for a family to share. Actually that's true for probably everything here) - a platter that I'm forgetting the number for, but it had the most amazing chicken tikka!! So far this is our favorite restaurant in Little India. If you like Northern Indian or Pakistani food, make sure to come by here. Portions are humongous, so prepare to enjoy leftovers for at least the next day. Customer service is friendly and they have high chairs here.

Food here was delicious! Came on a recommendation from a friend. We got the Anmol Platter, which was delicious. Each item was great. It was also the perfect quantity for the 3 of us to share. We also got the masala fries which was a good appetizer and the garlic naan, which was delicious. (Tip: 1 order of the garlic naan is huge and comes with 4 large pieces, which would have been enough for the 3 of us. We got 2 orders which was way too much.) Service was good; restaurant was clean and open. Not much of a crowd on a Friday at 2 pm. Location seemed to be down at one end of Devon which was a good place for us to start our stroll of the shops. Definitely would recommend for the food!

Friendly and rather cleaner environment over other restaurants in the area. If you get a chance, stop by the restaurant and try a great tasty and variety of Indian and/or Pakistani foods. Cons: Rather slower in making the food and so it's better to bring along some friends, attempt to make the faster food environment to be more elegant, poor lighting and difficult to see what you are eating on a cloudy day, bathroom are not as clean as expected- so beware Pro: Food is fantastic and willing to try ore foods each time you visit, waiters are patience and willing to explain the food and what it is. All of the dishes chosen so far have been great. Nice to have a welcoming and small appetizers, Carefully cleaned plates, clean utensils, and more. Give me several thumbs up below if you find some of this helpful. Swipe left to see my other reviews. Hit the thumbs up on several reviews and photos of you enjoy them.

Went on their website and ordered their food for my whole family. I was not informed that the prices on their website was lower than their actual prices. When going to grab the food, informed we had to pay the increased rate which I had no problem, if I was informed when making the order. The food was average at best and portions were small for the price we were paying. Overall did not have the best experience from customer service to the food. Hope they can fix the prices on their website at least to be honest with customers. Very disappointed as I was genuinely excited at first.

I came here during their Ramadan iftar and it was just ok. The food tasted like it could have been more seasoned but they offered a good variety of items to try. I personally preferred their regular menu items over their buffet. The kabobs from the menu were juicy and cooked perfectly. Menu is halal.

Anmol Barbecue has been on my radar for awhile they are located @ 2658 W Devon. Anmol is an Indian Pakistani Restaurant. My wife and I finally made it here last weekend. Anmol was pretty busy the night we went there, usually a good indication of the quality of the food. The prices are reasonable and the food was delicious, if not a tad on the spicy side. Chicken Biryani - Bone in chicken cooked in a sindhi style biryani masala then steamed with layers of very spicy orange & yellow basmati rice. $12.00. The portion size for the chicken biryani is huge. It's enough for 2 people. This was the dish my wife ordered. She couldn't eat it as it was quite spicy so we switched dishes Special Chicken Kahrra - Boneless chicken cubes made fresh in a wok. Fried in ginger and garlic with tomatoes, flavored with Special Kahrrai masala, Topped with Cilantro and Jalapenos for the right amount of kick. $14.00. I also ordered a side of rice to go with the Chicken Kahrra. I kind of expected a small bowl to use as a base under the chicken Kahrra much like a Chinese restaurant what I got was a huge rectangular plate about the size of a small casserole dish. We also got a Free desert w/Yelp check in Rabri Kheer sweetened rice milk w/pistachios & almonds delicious As it turned out we had more then enough to take home for our lunch the next day. Very nice restaurant w/good food and service. I would like to go back & try some of their other dishes

Be careful, I would leave zero stars if I cloud. I ordered food for To go, paid full price. they gave me leftovers and Cold food. When I returned it. They have shown disrespect and attitude. ..an apology would have been sufficient instead of the gruff and rude response I received from the Staff. the cashier (Azam) was very rude and disrespectful. Horrible service ! Don't Eat here

Great food and very great service! We had a chicken tikka that was fantastic! We will definitely be back again.

Below average food with awesome service and hospitality. The food is little more expensive compared to popular restaurants in the area. We ordered Kulcha, Palak Ghost, Chicken Biryani and a chicken roll. The kulcha was horrible- a thin super hard bread. We asked for garlic bread instead. The garlic bread was great. Chicken biryani was flavorful but was low in quantity and with very hard chicken. The palak ghost was most interesting. They don't know how to make it at all. They just took out paneer from palak paneer and added mutton ( mostly bones). We found paneer pieces. I now see that someone else gave similar feedback on palak ghost 6 months back. I wish we had read those reviews before visiting. All the people serving were very very nice and hospitable. They gave us complimentary lassi and dessert too. Those were actually ok. Overall, it's a bad place for non vegetarian food (considering competition in the area). The cook is bad, but the serving people are people are super duper nice. :). I hope they find a better cook or a different restaurant to work for.

Am in the process of introducing the fiance to Indian/Pakistani food, and this was the first restaurant he'd been to after only having Indian food at friends' weddings. He loved the food, so that definitely says something about this place! We started off with the masala fries which were actually really delicious. I lived the seasoning and the texture was really perfect. For our entrees we ordered the Anmol Platter #3 which consisted of 4 types of chicken - Malai Boti, Harabara Chicken, Bihari Chicken, and Mango Habanero Chicken. They were all different but also tender, juicy, and absolutely delicious. Personally I thought the portion was worth the price. We also had the Malai Kofta which was good, but not exactly the same as at one of the weddings where we really enjoyed it. Service was okay, it was a little busy so it took some time for the food to come out, and we had to ask for the drinks we ordered. But overall I think the food is worth the wait!

There are obviously a lot of options off of Devon. However this is our go to Pakistani Restaurant. The Platter Three is a good mix of chicken that will make a great leftovers, Palak Gosht is another nice spicy addition. Leaves a nice tingle on your tastebuds

I won't be back. The mixed platter looked great in the pictures but for my takeout order, all meat was stuffed into a small plastic container. There was no rice. Not worth the $60. I gave an extra star because food was tasty.

I love this place. Been here several times. I brought my lady here for the first time - she will offer her thoughts in her review. I always get the same thing. The chicken tikka, frontier chicken curry, rice, naan and a mango lassi. I know I should be more adventurous, and everything on the menu sounds great. Food is always fresh, piping hot and delicious. Place is very clean. A little on the expensive side for this area, but it's a more upscale restaurant. And it is worth it. Our server was pretty good. The popadoms and sides were terrific. I keep coming back when I'm in the area. Give it a try!

I bought a full tray of butter chicken from them with 40 naans. As soon as I got the food I could tell right away that it wasn't fresh. I called them to let them know and ask for refund, they said instead of the refund they would give me a new one. After I got the new tray of butter chicken, it also tasted and looked the same as the first one. What they did have mix the first tray that I gave them and also some of their own butter chicken and put them in one tray again. As for the naans they also had green stuff on them. I spent over $200 just to get nothing. I returned all my stuff (even the second tray). DONT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. Please go to a restaurant that will give you some good tasting food.

A little over a year after my first review I was contacted by their management to come in and see all the changes they had (newly) implemented. Their social media assistant mentioned updates to their menus, their dining area and training of kitchen staff. As well as information about their sister locations. We stopped in a few times for dine in meals and found the service better than previous visits. The changes were many. From the plating of food to interior decoration to the level of services. For some of the years past there were also new additions and subtractions to their menu. Lots of new inventions or rather additions to their curries, barbecue and appetizers menu. From then on, I and my extended family were often grabbing takeout or ordering food for events. It hasn't always been perfect though. Word on the streets is that, when they try to do buffets for Muslim holidays it doesn't ever seem to go as perfectly as planned. This in part because of scheduling, taking too many reservations and overall poor planning. Now some seven years later they are still doing it and well. At least in the handle of their everyday customers. Their dining room is still looking attractive and their kitchen is putting out tasty curries and succulent barbecue. Anmol is steady becoming a neighborhood staple. It is Pakistani food served in a comfortable, faux-fine dining atmosphere. They try their best to achieve an above-the-usual Devon ave dining experience but lack in the offering of some of the most simple, basic, "fine dining" necessities. ie washrooms / wash basin. I should note that (restaurant grade) Pakistani food uses a larger amount of oil when creating some curries. I've learned it is because the chef is adding depth to the gravy, giving it a certain consistency, to add more richness to the entree. There are umpteen reasons. In my own experience, over the time of eating Pakistani food in homes and restaurants I realize this is particular to the chef preparing the food. If you have a problem, you could chat with staff to see what can be done or order from their grill or rice entrees. Not much else to add other than, the reminder of a "stepped up" game in the last ten years. Making sure to have approachable hosts at the front that engage new customers and drive patrons to trying more from their changing menus. If it is your first time, I suggest a plate of barbecued items and appetizers you haven't had/ seen elsewhere. ie Pakora is a good way to go. veg or non.

Dropped by for a late lunch on Saturday to help fight the winter blues (even though it's mid May) with some warm goodness... Started us with complimentary far far and chutney which was good and helped tied us over until the food was ready which definitely took a while... Had one of the bbq platters that had the mutton chops... need a whole plate of this tender goodness, our platter had 3 baby chops that left us wanting more... also had the bbq fish (fine), seekh kebab (tender and well seasoned) and Bihari kebab ( not my favorite). Also had the bhindi masala which was good and the chicken makhani that needed more seasoning & salt... Ordered rice (didn't come with curries), garlic naan and paratha to go with everything, all were good... Friend got the mango lassi (standard) that was topped with whipped cream (umm no) and I had chai which was nice and strong (geez I just turned into my mother) Food was all fine, the bbq is definitely the way to go though...

Definitely get the chicken pakora. Even if you only eat the pakora, the visit will be worth it. Sheesh kabob is good but Khan BBQ down the street is a bit better. Chicken tikka definitely on point Now, on to the catering experience. They have been the easiest vendor we have worked with on our upcoming wedding. Definitely use them for an interesting flair for your mehndi food!

Best food in Devon! Was there for Sunday afternoon lunch and the food was amazing . Service was a little slow, but it more than made up for the delicious food. Starting from the chicken pakora and fries to the rabdi kheer and Kashmiri chai was full of flavor and nicely presented. I don't have one food item that I don't like. All the food ordered was cooked to perfection. The masala fries, chicken pakora, monster burger and kabob platters were the signature dishes!

You know the food is good when half way through your meal and you're already trying to think of when you can come back next. I honestly can't hype this place up enough. Everything we had was spot on flavor wise and cooked to perfection. We started with the Balochi Fish Fry. The flavors of this appetizer were insane. I loved their version of a chimmichurri they put on top of the fish as well. The fish was perfectly fried and seasoned, I just wish there was more because I would eat that for a meal it was so good! For our meals my boyfriend had the Tandoori Charga and I had the mango habenero chicken. Both equally delicious! The mango habenero chicken had a nice spice level, atleast for me it wasn't too spicy it was just right. The Tandoori Charga was so flavorful I'm salivating just thinking about it. It's also a great price point since you're getting a whole chicken! Both chicken dishes were cooked so well they weren't dry at all. I usually steer clear of chicken at restaurants because it's usually bland and dry, but not here! They know what they're doing for sure. Thanks for the great first experience and I can't wait to come back and try more off the menu. Hopefully I'll be back in a few days. Now to go devour my leftovers....

I don't know what happened here tonight but I just received an order of chicken makhani from on uber eats not even 15 minutes ago and it's literally the greasiest, oiliest butter chicken I have ever seen. Did they forget to strain something? Chicken Makhani should be like a tomato gravy, not this inedible, unincorporated broken-ass mess. Three bites and I already started to feel sick. I tried to call the store and politely asked for my money back but they were just confused and argumentative saying I should have "asked for less oil" which only pissed me off more. Lmao why should I have to request less oil? It's ridiculous. Also since when do curries not come with rice? I guess they literally want you to drink it. One star because the strawberry lassi was fine.

As close as you can get to relatively cheap yet amazing authentic subcontinental food in Chicago. Extremely friendly and helpful staff combined with delicious food makes this place heaven for me. Had a mixed kebab platter, chicken makhni, channa dal, tandoori chicken, chicken biryani, garlic naan and 2 desserts all of which were outstanding. Look forward to visiting again.

We've eaten here several times so a review is long overdue. If you like kebabs, biryanis, beef and mutton in general then go now. They have a variety of different chicken and beef kebabs to pick from or you can just get one of three pre selected platters that some with 4 different kebabs. They also allow substitution :). We went last night and In addition to platter 3, we got the chicken biryani and dal gosth (yellow lentils with mutton). I am not a big fan of all the bones and marrow but a lot of people love it . The dish itself was spot on. We also got chicken biryani but the chicken was a little too dry, the only negative in our meal last night. Finally, I got their 'chai' and it was made just as I would make it at home, milky but not too heavy. Everything was amazing.
