|
 | ★★ The chicken is halal but the food quality is very low. The burger chicken patti have a lot of batter, more than the thickness of the chicken piece! The quality of the food is so low that I m not sure how is he still in business. Instead of giving a big order like I did, order just one thing and try it out and see if u like it. The wait time though is 15-20 mins as he fries every thing after he gets the order, so may be call him ahead of time. |

 | ★ Thoroughly Disappointed- The Good, The Bad the Ugly
The Good: I had the philly cheese steak panini and it was good. It was not exactly a cheese steak since they used gyro meat to make it but it tasted good.
The Bad: Lets start with the french fries. I am sorry but they were PATHETIC. How can you mess up something as simple as that. They were not fresh, soggy and just dint taste right.
Next did someone recommend the garlic sauce. This is not how you make Garlic Sauce!!!! It was watery and just plain bad.
And finally the biggest let down, the broasted chicken. I have had it at several places back home and was really looking forward to eating halal broasted. The broasted here was tasteless, chicken was raw and left a weird after taste in my mouth. I had a bite or 2 and just threw away the rest. Really, really Disappointed!!!!
The Ugly: I left feeling bummed out because the place had high ratings on Zabihah and it rarely gets it so wrong. Initially I thought may be a one off thing but I went back and read the reviews again and I got it. Most of the reviews are FAKE accounts.
All this just left me sick in the stomach (pun intended). |

Deff spreading the word around. Everyone must try there desi food! They doing catering aswell. Everything is 100% zabiha halal Mr. Halal Broaster responds: Salaam,
I appreciate your comments and very thankful to you to take out time and write a review. MashAllah we are getting a good response on our biryani, chicken 65, mix chaat.

 | ★★★★★ I've been going to this place for quite some time. They caught me by surprise last sat when i went there and seen a sign for sindhi biryani. There food is great but i was bit skeptical about their biryani but let me tell you people it was the best i had in entire chicagoland. I mean all of these desi restaurants couldnt compete with it. It was great.
They are having other specialties during Ramadan kareem for iftari. I recomend everyone to atleast try it once. Mr. Halal Broaster responds: Salaam,
Thank you for your kind review. Im glad that you loved our biryani. I would like to serve people real authentic paki-desi food. Something thats not cooked from these boxed seasonings/ maasalas, which most of these restaurants do. Please pass the word around. |

 | ★★★ I ate here earlier today. The Zinger Burger is OK but w-a-a-a-y-y overrated in some of the reviews here. I also had a Sweet & Spicy Wrap which was really good. The fries that came with Zinger was not good at all, it was stale. I may return to this this place again if I am in the area but I will not especially drive a long distance,like i did today after reading the exagerated reviews. Mr. Halal Broaster responds: Salaam,
@ mr halal we appreciate all the reviews. It helps us to improve ourselves to be better. MashAllah zinger burger is a totally hot item, i mean people coming from everywhere to try it and with the grace of Allah s.w.t they are lovin it. It is a great burger indeed !! |

 | ★★★★★ WE used to go to KFC but stopped going there. Im not too sure about their food being zabiha halal. MR halal broaster is getting their chicken from crescents so it zabihah halal. Broasted chicken was much better than kfc. Not greasy and juicy, very tasty. Their white sauce was very tasty with chicken. They have alot more items. Next time we will try their famous zinger burger, heard alot of good things about that burger. |

I would recommend others to go there and I will go there again and again specially for zinger chicken
Keep the quality and taste you will go more further inshallahMr. Halal Broaster responds: JazakAllah Khair,

 | ★★ I was sadly disappointed. First of all, any effort to provide halal zabiha food is welcome, may Allah reward them for this. However, I have to be very honest in this review, my niyyah is not to nit-pick, but only to help better the quality of all halal restaurants. Alhamdulillah we have many options in this area, and most people will try anything once. However, you have to earn people’s second visit and that may be a problem here.
1) Reuben sandwich: There was only one thin layer of meat! Some overlap in the middle where it was 1.5 layer, but that’s horrible. If you’ve seen a real reuben its supposed to be stuffed with meat, like 7-8 layers of meat, ¾ inch stack of meat. I have eaten many of these before I became zabiha-only, this was really not good. For $5 all you get is rye bread and one layer of so-so tasting corned beef. I’m not sure if there was sauerkraut or not, it tasted like cabbage, definitely no bite to it. My wife was fasting today, this was supposed to be her iftar!
2) Chicken nuggets: small pre-frozen nuggets. It is very very very easy to take fresh chicken breast, slice small strips, batter them, then fry. I do this for my kids all the time. Please take the extra effort to do this.
3) Zinger sandwich: Okay flavor, but very small pieces of chicken. Again, the flavor was okay, but please a little more meat for the $5. I would have enjoyed this is there was a large juicy piece of chicken or if it was on a 99 cent menu.
In summary, the while the prices are not too bad, it is not justified by the amount of meat and overall quality. The good news is that these are fixable problems. A tip for when you start making burgers: Buy beef shoulder (chuck) and grind it. Fresh Market on North Ave has this and will grind it for you, it makes a naturally fatty and juicy burger. Mr. Halal Broaster responds: Salaam. Im sorry that you feel this way. My over all customer satisfaction in 99.9%. Its very easy to pass judgement. Well, im glad that you started eating zabihah halal food instead of haram. For $4.99 it comes with fries and its a very good deal. Zabihah halal meat is alot more expensive than you think.
MashAllah the zinger burger is doing very very good. 99.9% of the customer that ate zinger burger loved it. It's a huge boneless chicken breast, just little chopped up.
please remember you are trying to compare me with mcdonalds or wherever you usually eat. This is not a non zabiha halal restaurant. This is MahsAllah a 100% zabiha halal restaurant. I choose quality over cheap price products unlike other wana be zabiha halal restaurants do.
Im doing my best to keep the highest quality and the most affordable prices.
Overall i appreciate your comments and will do my best to satisfy your needs. |

 | NR Salam Kashif,
First of all i wanted to congratulate you on opening your new restaurant. In my opinion the location you have chosen is a good one and should make your business prosperous. There is definitely a large muslim community in the surrounding area of your location.
Second....Lets talk Burgers. I live in Oak Brook Terrace. After lots of experience in the culinary arts, i came to the conclusion that the best Burgers in the chicago-land area are from "Faizan's pizzaria and grill" in Hanover Park(specifically the "Angry Bulls Eye Burger"). To get to the point quicker, gas is expensive and i cant go to Hanover park all the time. People sometimes tell me they like the burgers from Tahoora on Devon. But after eating at Faizans, Tahooras burgers are like choking on a newspaper. Like most restaurants, you claim you have "juicy burgers" which i cannot deny before actually trying it. I strongly advise you to one day sneak into Faizans, and kind of dissect theirs and find whats good and what makes it good and maybe the variety of burgers. (I'm sure you will like the Burgers) Then, Give the burger a reasonable price for example "1/2 lb. cheeseburger with some fries and (possibly) a coke for around 5 bucks" or "2 Burgers, large fries, and a coke for maybe 9-10 bucks . I also advise that you serve milkshakes. Faizans Milkshakes are NOT good. I think its a 16oz cup for almost 4 bucks. You may be able to get an idea from Steak n Shake, and they have generous sizes, too.
To conclude, I really hope that your business is successful and is a good eating experience for the Lombard/Villa Park Muslim Community.
p.s- Keep pricing reasonable to consumers because a lot of times teens walk in and don't have a lot of money.in other words, Take 4 bucks for a burger or 0 bucks and lack of business due to high prices. Mr. Halal Broaster responds: Walaikum Aslaam,
InshAllah all of your requests will be met soon. My prices are very reasonable and I'll continue my best to keep the prices very reasonable. It's the quality what I promise to my customers. You get what you paid for.
Come and try my "Zinger burger" (marinated boneless chicken breast deep fried on top of a sesame bun, comes with seasoned fries only $6.99.
Also my borasted just is very tasty, juicy and crispy. Everything on my menu is made to order fresh.
Everything on my menu is 100% zabihah halal.
Thanks again. |
