I went here to dine in not realizing it was mostly a carry out restaurant. We were the only people who dined in, but they did a lot of carry out service. It took a while for the food to come out, but everything was made fresh to order so I can appreciate that. We even got to decide the spice level of our entrees. Started with veggie samosas which were fantastic. They had a kick to them which went great with the yogurt sauce we were given. We ordered a paneer dish and chicken tikka masala. Both were fabulous and had the perfect amount of spice. We also had a plain naan and some sort of combination naan which were great with the sauces. The basmati rice was also very tasty. The waiter/ chef/ everything was super friendly and gave great suggestions. I will definitely order from here in the future, but I think I will stick to carry out.

Just finishing up my delivery order and had to get on here to express my experience. First of all, the food was delicious. I ordered the chicken tikka and chicken makhani , tried both of them and thought they were great. Do be aware that if you're not a fan of spicy, you'll need to specify the level of spice you want, but either way, the flavor is good. It's not just spicy for the sake of being spicy. I received my delivery a few minutes later than originally estimated and got a very polite apology from the delivery driver. She was very nice and sorry that she wasn't able to find my house. Which is admittedly difficult on my dimly lit street. What prompted me to write this review immediately however, is the fact that they followed up with a phone call making sure that I receive my order and then it wasn't too late. Very impressed, most businesses don't take the time to do that. Great customer service, I will definitely be ordering again.

Ordered food to be picked up and informed 30 minutes. I arrived at 30 minutes and waited another 25 minutes. I was late for work and no urgency is shown. The bread was hard as a rock on role and no extra nan because they are out and its only 1pm. No samosa and other items and chat had just the channa which was cold. Just a overall a bad experience.
(2)Autumn M.
Love this place, we always get take out. Great flavors. Everything we've ordered has been delicious. Every time we go we're the only white people- that's a GOOD sign the food is authentic!

We happened to be in the area about three hours from home and decided to stop at this little hole in the wall Indian joint for some take out. IT WAS AMAZING! We made the mistake of only getting one order of Samosas. They were delicious! I fought with my husband to turn around and get more to take home. Unfortunately, I lost and have been craving them ever since. The man behind the counter says he makes the Naan fresh daily and you could taste it! The Tikka Masala was yummy. I was worried about the colouring, a deep red, I usually like mine a bit more creamy orange, but the taste was spot on. The lamb curry was exceptionally tasty with just the right amount of spice. Absolutely NO complaints! There are many reviews here complaining about having to wait - we waited over 40 minutes. Quit your bitching! This food is made with care and is not only worth the wait, but worth every penny! So head to your nearest fast food place and get your garbage in a paper sack handed to you through a window. I wish I lived closer. I would definitely be a regular. Good job Shan's Grill! Looking forward to our next visit!

Got some chicken seekh kabobs this evenjng . they were soo good. They were made fresh juicy and tender. We finished them in 5 mins. Perfect marination and cooked to perfection delivers in a 10 mile radius. I found my desi food Togo place. Decor is pretty good from inside.

The significant other unit ordered delivery from GrubSpot on a Saturday night. The chat was very tasty, lots of liquid to soak up with naan. No pieces of samosa or other fried snacks, just pure channa, onions, chili and cilantro. Very delicious, and very spicy. The veg biryani was huge! It almost overflowed the polystyrene container :o) Nice chunks of tomato and other veggies like carrots. However, they didn't include any raita :o( They called to let us know they accidentally forgot the lassi and would either deliver it or give us a credit for next time. We said we'll take the credit next time but then realized that the lamb biryani was missing so we called back and asked that both the lassi and lamb biryani be brought out ASAP. They agreed. We only got the appetizer (channa chat) and one of the entrees (veg biryani) - they forgot a drink and another entree (lamb biryani). They came 20 mins later and delivered the missing items. Phew! That was nice of them to make up for the omission. His lamb briyani was just ok, no raita. The lassi has some nice gulab in it (rose essence). I think next time we'll just call them directly instead of using a third party, and/or pick it up ourselves and check that everything in the order in our bag prior to leaving. It must have been a busy Saturday night.
(2)Sai V.
Tandoori chicken was good. It was tender and well made. On the other hand everything else, veg briyani and veg pakora, were both very spacy and mediocre.
(3)Syed A.
The food is great, have tried 5-6 different things of the menu, everything was tasty. Knocked off a star because delivery is very spotty and very slow, had to go pick up once because there were no drivers. I was told I could get a refund or pick up and get 5 bucks off. Worth it if you're going to pick up food from there.
(4)Sufia K.
Food tastes great but I am rating the service a 3 due to the amount of time it takes for the food to come out.
(3)Ray O.
People down below with negative reviews are probably lying or have never been there ! Being a white person I love their food and the best part is it's fresh ! I will go to this place again and again .. Twice I went to indian bistro and they sucked in taste and too much color ..! I've realised that they face heat from their own community , why ? Just coz they have amazing food ? Damn haters .. Anyways when u go here try their biryani and grilled fish .. :) u will leave with a smile on face

Went in for the lunch special today, and I had the chicken tikka. I've never had that dish before, but I know when good food is well prepared and this was it. The chicken was spicy, but not overly spicy; I could still enjoy all the flavors. I really liked the beans, too. I thought the decor was tasteful and interesting, the family staff was welcoming, and the entire experience was refreshing and relaxing.

We did Friday night take out. I'm assuming a husband and wife team. A+ for order accuracy, + service, + white chicken breast meat, + for pakoras, +lots of rice and good nan bread. I'd rate the dishes maybe a solid B, Definetly edible, just not my favorite, and again see my portion size comments below. We ordered chicken tikka masala and matter paneer. Lots of peas and very tiny pieces cheese, and lots of sauce and very tiny chicken pieces. Also, ask about their carryout specials. Advertises 100% Zabiha Halal. This is an observation only, without judgement, as the pricing and portion size seem to be relevant, but the take out containers are one size smaller than some other places. For example, this was maybe a $30 order, where at another place where you might have a leftover meal would be $50. The chutney is in a one ounce container instead of a 2 ounce, so you may want to ask for 2 for your pakoras ;) (they gave us 2 without asking). We had only rice leftover. I'd recommend take out. The area just isn't a "dine in area", rather a commuter area. While the shop has about 8 tables, and they do make a best effort to make it nice, it is 80's decor (plastic table clothes and fake flowers). I'd be willing to try another round with them and I'm sure they appreciate you doing the same!

Best indian food around, the people who wrote bad reviews don't know what they are talking about.

I feel bad writing this review... however I have now given this restaurant 3 chances. It is the closest Indian restaurant in my neighborhood, so I loved the convenience... however, the service is TERRIBLE. Every time I have come in I have been the only customer in there, and it takes FOREVER to get the small amount of food I purchase... on the phone... ahead of time. Clearly, I think they need to hire more staff... as the one guy that is there can't do everything on his own. I will now be taking my business elsewhere and making the drive to Schaumburg. Sad.. as it was literally a few minutes from my home. Another thing... I also used Grubhub and tried to order it for delivery. An HOUR after I made the order, I get an e-mail from Grubhub saying that they stopped delivering to my area and never updated it on Grubhub. I live 2 miles away. WHAT?!?!? It was as if he decided an hour after making the food... he couldn't leave the restaurant to deliver it so he cancelled the order. Ridiculous. Not going back.
(2)M Z.
Actually,I feel bad to write this review.But honestly the food is mostly stale & I did try twice,both times the quality was way too Low. The folks are friendly,but am very sorry,you guys need to start making fresh.And I may be wrong,as this was Like last month & hopefully they have improved.
(2)Omer A.
Fantastic food, chicken Tikka is awesome. Everything is cooked so the consistency is perfect. Birani is great, kabobs are awesome. Nan is outstanding too. Only issue is small dinning room. Lunch special is addicting.
(4)Tyktaksyk K.
A little place. But big on taste. The service was a bit slow, but you know what? Its not fastfood. They have over 6 different naan breads, all great. The chicken is succulent and the ocra was to die for. Try the daily chef special. I have never been steered wrong. Always a treat. As Indian/Paki food goes, this place shines and the prices are legit.
(5)Less I.
Worst chicken tikka masala I've ever had. Sorry. Service was good but REALLY slow. Ugh. To explain just how slow - I was the only customer.
(2)Moeed K.
I had samosas here, and was not impressed. The only reason this restaurant is still running, is because there are no other Pakistani options in the area, besides Lal Qila, which is overpriced by the way. I will probably order one more time from here, to give them the benefit of the doubt, but my expectations are not very high.

Shan's is a hidden gem. I have a feeling most people would pass this place by judging on its location and looks. The first time we ate here, we ate in. Ever since, we've gotten takeout. I want to give this place five stars, because the food is fantastic. But I've gotta go with four because dining in is kind of depressing. Also, the service was super slow. So, takeout it is. We order out from here all the time since it's so close to where we live, and we've never been let down. Really delicious, authentic food with large portions. The husband and I usually get two entrees to share (our favorites are saag paneer, alo gobi, and dal mahkni) and after we eat, there is enough leftovers for us to each get 1-2 more meals out of it. Here's a tip, each entree comes with a salad. We started requesting no salads, because a) they come in styrofoam which we try to avoid, and b) the salad is sort of sad. Just some iceberg lettuce and some stray vegetables. No thanks. But other than that, I would definitely recommend ordering some takeout. So delicious.
(4)J T.
Ordered Lamb Vindaloo, Chicken Tikka and Chicken Tikka Masala with the Garlic & Plain Naan. Food was perfect. Asked for medium spice and received medium spice. Prices were reasonable, service was effecient and the food was so very fresh. Like mom would have made if I were Indian! Can not wait to try more of their food.

You know how holes-in-the-wall mom's and pop's restaurants can serve the best food and how you only know about them if you're a local? Shan's Grill is one of those places. The space is small, in an old, commercial strip mall, and the sign's old school. It'd probably be more home in Chicago than little Palatine. But the beef kabob's fabulous, carefully cooked and spicy and stimulating compared to the bland kabob I've been served elsewhere. I would recommend that and the naan bread, which is super cheap for such doughy, fluffy goodness. The kabob's cheap too, for that matter, four long pieces in each order. Two orders fed five strapping adults with overly healthy appetites, lol. It was cheaper than McD's, except it's much higher quality, freshly-cooked, healthy food. We regularly order take-out from them, as there's no decor to speak of and the seating's cafeteria-ish. It's one guy and his mom running the place. Cut him some slack. I've had the makhni/butter chicken and samosas as well, but the makhni sauce was a little too sweet, heavy, and one-note compared to Pepper and Salt or LalQila's.The veggie samosa also used a bit too much oil, perhaps. At some point, I may try the other sauces, but for newbies, I would stick to the kabob, where they outshine everyone else. I also liked the gulab jamun dessert, but it's not available all the time. Love this place though!
(4)Andy O.
I've eaten here over a dozen times now and it's always good. It isn't the best Indian I've ever had but in the area it is the best. All the naan is good although I prefer the garlic. I've had meat and vegetable samosas but I prefer the vegetable (get the sweet tamarind sauce!). My normal order is lamb vindaloo although the chicken tikka masala, boti, and tandoori chicken are great. I wasn't a huge fan of the seek kebabs, good flavor but a bit too dry. As everyone has said the orders do take longer than advertised although the overall wait time isn't long, they just need to tell the customer a more accurate time. Inside the restaurant is clean although not somewhere to go for date night. The prices are good and they deliver!
(5)Mohammed K.
Good quality food and generous portions for the price. The only drawback is the time factor for carry out. After placing the order and setting up pickup time, the order is still not ready and is probably prepared when you show up ( beating the idea of carry out and setting a pickup time). I wish the owner realizes that time is imp

We recently were in Palatine looking for some good Indian carryout to take home and eat. So, we stopped by Shan's Grill. It was an Indian/Pakistani restaurant. I usually judge a place by their biryani and tandoori chicken. They asked if we liked it mild, medium or spicy. I always order medium spicy so the taste isn't overcome by hot peppers. To my surprise, the tandoori chicken was ridiculously good.It was probably the most flavorful, seasoned and juicy tandoori chicken I had in my life. The chicken biryani was also seasoned well and had nice chunks of chicken breasts. The only problem that I had was we had to wait 35 minutes for our food but it was well worth the wait! I will definitely be stopping by again.
(4)Robyn M.
Outstanding Indian food! Reminded ny sister and I of being in London again where we had the best food ever. This place is a little gem in the area. Tandoori chicken was perfect and so was everything else. Well deserves 5 stars and even more if I could give them. Fantastic for carry out!
(5)Richard C.
based on my multiple attempts after the review, the food has constantly been good and the place has been cleaned up quiet a bit. food is whats all about this place!
(4)A S.
Simple decor, great food. Loved their garlic naan (beware large pieces of garlic, wouldn't advice ordering on the first date), tandoori chicken was well prepared, will definitely go for the hot version versus medium next time. Very friendly and welcoming staff
(4)Shugz F.
Found this random hole in the wall place driving back from Kildeer Mall. My husband and I went for Sunday lunch, got the $6.99 lunch special that included kabab, chicken, rice, daal, and naan. We also tried their haleem which was good but not the best I've ever had. Overall, the food was great my only complaint would be that we waited a good half hour for the food. That's one of the reasons it was good but still way to long of a wait. Will totally go back.
(4)Stephanie Z.
I gave this one star only because zero was not an option. I ordered from Shans today and it was awful! The only semi-good thing I can say is that the estimated time of delivery arrival was accurate. I ordered at 2:20 and was told my food would be delivered around 3:30-3:40 and it came at 3:35. I ordered Lamb Rogan Josh, Garlic Naan, and 2 Piece Vegetable Samosas. The samosas were not good and cold. The food was somewhat edible at first, but then in my lamb dish I found something that resembled a wood chip. It was not anything edible that is certain. And now a few hours later My stomach is killing me! Please do not eat here! I should have taken the hint at how bad it was about to be by the delivery driver whose white shirt was splattered with red sauce and his car that was on its last leg. I usually do not complain this much about a restaurant but I want to possibly save anyone considering ordering from here the belly ache I am currently experiencing.
(1)Christopher B.
The food was very tasty. I had to wait a little longer than I liked picking it up, but it was worth it. I had the chicken tikka masala and some naan. Give this place a try for take out.
