Hot Masala: Reviews & Ratings

I migrated to the United States from Pakistan five years ago and live in Carpentersville. Our family has been Hot Masala's regular customer for our zabiha halal meat and grocery needs since we came here. I've found the attitude of the owner couple quite helpful and personalized. On occasion they've also arranged to procure items on special request, something one can't expect from a Walmart or even a Patel.

Have tried different briyani places in Chicago and found this place close to home. I ordered the chicken briyani and it was delicious!

This is my second time here. It does feel awkward ordering from a grocery store but don't let that deter you. This is the closest Pakistani restaurants in the area and they are good. It fills my cravings for Indian food. Pro-Tip: Make sure to call your order a head of time as it takes up to 20 - 25 minutes to take an order.
