This is a definitely the most iconic and most recommend restaurant to go to in Devon. The food has great flavor and spices. Sometimes they may over spice the food but this is usually when it is busy. But come here when it’s less busy and the spices here are good.I recommend the nihari and the falooda.

I ordered Nihari and Naans. This is the best Nihari I have tasted in a long time. Reminded me of Pakistan. The food quantity was generous and the prices I can say are reasonable (though a bit on the pricey side which is true of most desi restaurants in Devon). The restaurant décor is nice, and the place is clean with good service.

The food and service were both excellent! They used good cuts of meat and the chicken was perfect spiced. I just wish the spices in the biryani were better mixed—it is no fun to bite into a mouthful of concentrated spices. They also forgot our raita and chutney. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good Desi food.

This place lived up to its name. Their nihari is the best we have had in the US. Unlike all the other Pakistani restaurants who are liberal with pouring buckets of oil when it comes to their nihari, sabri nihari's was not oily, it was flavorful and the meat was tender. Will give it 10/10Their haleem was good, we enjoyed it. Will rate it 8/10. Definitely worth a try.Chicken boti was fine. Will rate if 7-8/10.For dessert we got faluda. It comes in 3 different flavors - pistachio, vanilla and mango. Our waiter told us that that their mango was the most popular one however we wanted to play it safe and got vanilla. We absolutely loved it. They used little roohafza for the flavor unlike other places where the faluda ends up tasting like roohafza milkshake. This was probably the best faluda we have had in the US. Will rate it 10/10.They were nice enough to give complementary chai. Like everything else, this was good as well.Overall one of the better Desi restaurant we have been too. Their service was good. Nice ambience. You should definitely try this place if you are craving Desi food in Chicago.

An insanely great restaurant with exceptional food. We had amazing service and the waitstaff provided us with terrific recommendations.The namesake, the Sabri Nihari, is a delicious piece of stewed beef that everyone must try. Other dishes such as the Karahi ghosht and mutton biryani were similarly extraordinary.

Nice and clean place...This was my first time, they have so delicious foods. I would recommend everyone for party or get together with friends at sabri nihari restaurant.

It was busy at 2:30 pm on Martin Luther King day. They checked our vaccination cards. The mixed grill platter was delicious with juicy kebabs, chef’s special catfish fry was great. Mutton karaahi was tasty along with the garlic naan bread. Faluda which comes in 3 flavors was awesome.It looked great too. We tried the mango flavor one, it had mango ice cream. The chandeliers look good & decor is very good too. Service is quick & they have good knowledge about the menu. Mango lassi is very good as well. They give complimentary salads & 2 sauces, one yogurt based sauce & the other tamarind based. Mutton biryani is served only on 3 days of the week. Rice Kheer was not available. Rasmalai dessert was really tasty. Water to drink was poured from a traditional steel jug. Faluda is packed well if you need it ‘to go’.

Always best food. Fresh and Authentic Desi taste. I love karai ghosht and haleem with Naan. Goat brayani really good. Grill item ???. Anyone looking for good family place and lots of seating I highly recommend this place. Always fresh taste.deserve more than 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

This is a famous fine dining Indian restaurant in Chicago that people have been raving about for a very very long timeThe ambience decor and service here are great. The food is also great and they specialize in Nihari but the chicken biryani we ordered was not that great sadly.The chicken pakoras were a good appetizer. Basically battered and fried chicken strips with gram flour for that classic pakora taste.The best part of tonight and an item you Must try is the Karahi Gosht. Its a flavorful meat dish with red sauce. Get a garlic naan or two with it and you'll love it.
