Mast Masala

On January 2 we went to kolachi Tandoori grill for the first time as a lot of people told me that their lamb biriyani is awesome and very rich in taste when we went to the restaurant they told that they don’t have a lamb biryani but they can provide us beef and chicken biryani, we ordered beef biryani it was nice with taste with biryani we ordered one dish too with paratha and naan Overall they had a good taste but what we don’t like is that they charged almost 15$ as a service charge because we did dine in there. They had a very good setup inside the restaurant I like their walls hanging pictures with unique and eye catchey captions

****STAY AWAY****For last few times, the Biryani is NOT fresh. Rice were so sticky that you can't eat with spoon. They automatically charge 15% Gratuity for one person. Normally, its for 4 and above. When I asked, behind the counter guy named Rohan, he said because Desi don't pay tip. Since I go their almost every week, I am not sure how many times I have paid them double TIP. Third the tax rate in DuPage is 8.25%, but they charge 10.50% I have attached the copy of the receipt. Stay away from this place. They are real thieves. This restaurant should be closed and owners should be put in jail. In addition, it you notice, they only give you leg pieces in biryani. So, its not whole chicken, which mean its doubtful they use halal meat.***Please review the response; trying to divert the MAIN issue of non fresh food and adding gratuity. Seriously I wasn't not raving. It was miserable that I just had to finish non-fresh food.***

We choose Kolachi Tandoori Grill for our first experience with Indian food. We tried a variety of dishes some where suggested to us by a friend and one we chose on our own. We had the chicken Brianni which I thought was good she thought it was a little spicy. We both enjoyed the veggie Samosas, we both liked the Chana Masala I was dipping the Naan in it and it was good. The only thing we both didn’t care for was the Chicken Tikka Masala. I have nothing to compare it to so I can’t say it was bad I think it was just more our personal preference. Overall it was a good experience, we ordered online very easily and even got a 10% discount because it was our first order. It was ready onTime, the service was good and friendly, and the food was hot and fresh.

Over priced for average tasting food. Only one person serving and attending the desk so everyone is waiting longer for service. Automatically changing 15% tip? Only places that do that who have zero confidence in their service and food. Although we did enjoy the pun driven frames on the wall. So 1 star for that.

First the good part. One of the best biryani I have had in Chicago area restaurant. The seating area is well kept. So far I have been here multiple times and everything other than biryani (burger, bun kabab, Chaat, Chinese rice, tacos have been below par). I would have tried other things, but normally 2 out of 3 choices are not available. Only seems to be one person holding down the fort at service side and it reflects on the service. Very underwhelming. Will be my go-to place for chicken biryani only.
