Bowl O Biryani - Downers Grove

Good food but service needs improvement. They took the food order and served it pretty quickly. However, none of the waiters checked up on us after the food was served the first time. We had to call them for reorders and even bring the check.Part of the problem is the area of the establishment itself and it's layout. It is too big for the number of guests they serve at a time. The servers are spending more time walking from the tables to the kitchen to the bar area which are all at different corners of a big area.

Excellent Indian food!! We ordered the classic butter chicken. Perfect flavor and color- not too creamy. We couldn’t get enough. The garlic naan was so fresh.We also ordered paneer dosa. Generous shareable portions. The masala chai was excellent. Comes unsweet with sugar on the side.Services was good. Slightly slow to get someone’s attention at first, otherwise attentive. Spacious and open. They will start having lunch buffets end of June 2023.Average prices.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian option. Spinach, lentils, paneer/cheese, chick peas, potatoes…Parking: Open shared parking space out front

This place was such a surprise! We had seen it on TikTok couple of times and we live in the area and went to check it out the first time and we got to the parking lot which was empty all businesses in the plaza closed down, the restaurant looked like it’s boarded up so we thought they had closed down and left. Few months later again in search of good Indian restaurant in the area we found it on google and it had 4.5 stars recent reviews so we decided to go check it out, got to the plaza and realized it was the same boarded up restaurant. But this time we saw 1 person enter. And I said let’s give it a chance and go in. To our surprise the place is really big, good for celebrations and parties. It was pretty empty so we were still skeptical but we saw people come in for take outs. The food is absolutely outstanding! The fusion chicken was perfectly crispy garlicky and peppery with hot pepper flakes and a really delicious mix of spices probably my new favorite and much tastier than chicken 65. The chicken 65 was ok, nice and crispy but lacked flavor, kinda washed up. The goat keema according to my husband is fantastic and reminds him of his childhood. Indeed it was tasty but a bit too strong and heavy of a lamb flavor for me and quite oily, however my husband rated it 100% and mind you he is a keema fan and expert. The cheese naan was nice but not too fluffed up, the cheese is inside the dough so won’t let it rise up, it was delicious nevertheless but more like a paratha with cheese filling. The star of the show is definitely their biryani line up. The goat dum biryani is out of this world experience where each grain has flavor and aroma and exceptionally fluffy separated not sticky not oily not dry, nice soft moist and flavorful with magical biryani spices. The goat meat was thoroughly and perfectly marinated flavored and super tender and juicy and aromatic! Definitely the best biryani I’ve tried in the US and I’ve tried other states too. The exceptional food was topped with exceptional aromatic masala tea and masala coffee, both extremely flavorful and aromatic with thick consistency and very fresh. This is definitely our new favorite restaurant for Indian food and we are lucky we are so close!!! Can’t believe we left the first time : .

Came here on a chance and let's just say it was definitely worth the leap of faith. From the garlic naan to the chicken Tikka masala everything was served fresh and absolutely delicious. The only sad part about our visit was that there were no leftovers to take home. (Pictured: chicken Tikka masala, Malai chicken kebab, chicken dum biryani and badam milk)

Fast service and, even better, amazing food!!! We ordered the Chicken Kurma, Palak Paneer, samosas, and garlic naan (of course) and everything was super delicious after a long day. Highly recommend the Badam milk as well the cardamom adds such a unique touch to the drink and it certainly helps out for those who can't handle spice as much
