“ I have heard alot about Al-kabeer and It didn’t disappoint me the biryani was top notch! Best hyderabadi biryani. The quatity of rice and mutton pieces was good. But the chicken 65 was over priced for the quality. Chicken 65 was good in taste but the quality was really less ”

“ It’s like full on Indian Hyderabadi restaurant atmosphere If you’re on the hunt for authentic Indian cuisine in Chicago, specifically on Devon Street, look no further than this hidden gem. Specializing in biryanis and a variety of goat and chicken appetizers, this place truly delivers a culinary experience worth raving about. We started our meal with the green chili biryani—a standout dish for anyone who enjoys a good kick of spice. The flavors were bold, and the rice was perfectly cooked, blending harmoniously with the green chili’s heat. For the appetizer, we ordered the chicken kebab, which was tender, well-seasoned, and grilled to perfection. The smoky char added an extra layer of flavor, making it a must-try for any kebab lover. Next, we sampled the zafrani chicken, a dish rich in spices and layered with saffron’s delicate aroma. It had a subtle yet complex taste, showing off the chef’s mastery of balancing spices. But the star of the show was the goat dum biryani. Cooked slowly to perfection, the goat was incredibly tender, falling apart with every bite, while the biryani was fragrant, with spices seeping into every grain of rice. This unassuming spot on Devon Street is easily one of the best places for biryanis in Chicago, and their attention to detail with both goat and chicken dishes sets them apart from other Indian restaurants. Whether you’re looking for a spicy adventure or a comforting, slow-cooked biryani, this place won’t disappoint! To finish our meal on a sweet note, we indulged in their apricot dessert, which was easily one of the best I’ve ever tasted. This dessert is a delicate balance of sweetness and the subtle tartness of apricots, making for an unforgettable treat. The apricots were perfectly stewed to a soft, almost velvety texture, while still holding their shape, allowing the natural fruit flavor to shine through. What really set this dessert apart was the light syrup they were served in, which wasn’t overly sweet and complemented the fruit without overpowering it. The hint of floral notes and perhaps a touch of cardamom added depth and warmth to the dish, making it feel both comforting and exotic at the same time. If you’re a fan of fruity desserts or just want to try something unique, this apricot delight is a must-try. It’s the perfect ending to a rich meal, leaving you satisfied yet craving just one more bite. ”

“ Had an amazing meal today with Mutton Dum Biryani, Badam Chicken Curry, and Goat Fry. The biryani was rich, flavorful, and full of dum. The chicken curry was creamy with that perfect Hyderabadi touch, and the goat fry was spicy and delicious. Authentic taste, great service – felt like I was back in Hyderabad! Must try! ”
