Great food and service! I could eat here everyday. The crispy shawarma sandwich is my current favorite, both chicken and steak are really good. I’ve never had a bad meal from Baba Saj!
Very disappointing experience. I placed a catering order for delivery for 6:45 p.m. Around 3:30 p.m. I received a text message that my delivery had been cancelled. I immediately called the restaurant and was told that they had cancelled the pickup portion of the order, but that my food would still be delivered.
By 7:02 p.m. my order still hadn’t arrived, so I called the restaurant again. The food finally arrived close to 7:30 p.m. and it was completely cold. Not lukewarm, but cold.
When you place a catering order, especially for an event or when you’re having people over, part of the reason is to have one less thing to worry about. You’re trusting the restaurant to have the food prepared and delivered on time so you can focus on your guests. Unfortunately, this experience created more stress instead.
Their food is actually very good, which makes this even more disappointing. I was excited for my friends to try the shawarma, but the late delivery and completely cold food really took away from the experience. I’m not sure if I’ll place another catering order in the future, and if I do, I definitely won’t be selecting delivery.

I had an excellent experience at Shahi Nihari and Chopsticks! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and packed with authentic Pakistani flavors. The nihari was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, while everything else we tried was equally enjoyable.
The restaurant has a great atmosphere, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent. It’s a wonderful place to enjoy authentic Pakistani food with family and friends.
Highly recommended! I’ll definitely be coming back again. 🇵🇰❤️
I’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile. I went to the Oak Lawn location because the Palos Hills location has awful parking. It’s awful because it’s in a shared parking lot and it’s a nightmare to find a spot. For some strange reason, the whole town of Oak Lawn decided to go to that shopping area where Baba Saj is, on a Wednesday night close to 8 pm. Let that sink in. Just a warning, people here can’t drive or walk, I wouldn’t be surprised if accidents occur here weekly. Aside from that, they have plenty of parking spaces when available.
Baba Saj wasn’t busy at all. The restaurant is beautiful. I love the interior and I like that they have a patio area to eat in front of the fountain. We ordered a mixed shawarma meal, steak shawarma bowl, and a sfeha flatbread. The staff here is nice. I forgot the name of the older woman but she gave us an extra bowl for free. They gave us a chicken shawarma bowl instead of steak. They didn’t want to take the chicken shawarma bowl back so they just put it in a bag and gave it to us. Prices aren’t bad.
-mixed shawarma meal 4.5 - the mixed meat (steak and chicken) were both very moist and tender. A lot better than Haifa in Orland Park. The fries weren’t bad but I would have preferred them to be crispy. These leaned more on the soggy side like McDonald’s. I gave it a 4.5 because I wished the shawarma portion was bigger.
-steak shawarma bowl 3 - I told my gf this but stop getting bowls. If you want to really experience the shawarma, always get it in a flatbread or pita. Never in a bowl. The meat loses moisture in the open air thus making it taste dry.
-sfeha flatbread 4.5 - this was pretty tasty. The meat is moist but the bread on the outside can get slightly dry.
