Fantastic service. Really nice staff who will help give you recommendations if you need it. The grocery side of it looks like it has good deals on spices too. Very good food too. Dont forget to order rice too because it doesnt come with but they give you a ton ( i paid $26 for a butter chicken, a bunch of rice and a bunch of naan, seems worth it to me)

We've only ordered through delivery 3rd party. Food arrived and for it being delivered it was still delicious. Skeptical at first but enthusiastically surprised how good everything was. So we are ordering delivery again. Yummy!!!

A favorite for years. Try the nihari, the maash ki daal. On weekends/brunch the halwa Puri and parathas as delightful.

Good food. I would recommend them for Pakistani traditional breakfast of Halwa Puri. It's mostly a restaurant with an attached grocery store. Menu is extensive with multiple options. I also liked their Paya and Nehari. Although the ambiance setting is not the greatest but it's a clean environment with delicious food. They do have a limited parking. Over all I will recommend them.

Came in for brunch. Ambiance is cafeteria like and service was pleasant. FYI Families generally sit in the more private section in the back. This is a hidden gem for sure. Folks who enjoy a dish called Paya would really appreciate this establishment. We had neehari on our first trip along with biryani. Very pleased to say the least. Perfect for days your are hungry and looking for flavor minus the breaking bank part.

We'd been picking up their samosas and beef rolls for years for lunch on the go. Both are great and a good price. Not gonna lie, sometimes they're greasy though. If you're getting samosas, get them close to a major meal time to lower the chances of too much grease. In the past couple of years, we've been ordering entrees for delivery, always enough for a couple days of leftovers. Shan is consistently better than just about any place on Devon we have tried. Great chicken biryani with AMAZING basmati rice. Lots of bones, but whatever. It's delicious. Their curries are also great, and I love their aloo palak. Pretty much the only way I genuinely like spinach. Relatively quick delivery too.

I've only ever had take out from them, but they've never disappointed. Whenever my friend would come over, he'd always pick up food from Shan's (even though he lives in West Loop. Ordering seems easy enough, he would just call it in and by the time he got up there, the food would be ready. By the time he got back to our place (except for maybe the samosas), the rest of the food would be piping hot (meaning it was super fresh). It's also packaged really well...in preparation of possible spills. The food: Samosa - a bit on the large size, sometime they'll have a kick, but other than that their pretty good. They have a slightly thicker dough. The filling could use a pinch more of salt however. Veggie Biriyani - delicious and goes great with the daal Daal - we've tried a couple different daals and they've all been super delicious. I prefer the yellow daal and the mixed daal isn't bad either Omelet - it's good, well made TLDR: they're out there for people that are living in the city, but they're delicious. 2 samosas are filling. Their red sauce is a bit on the sweet side. I'm all about the samosas and the daal if I were to pick anything.
