Bawarchi Biryani Point

Good food and good service as well! Try the chicken 65 it’s awesome, highly recommended!

I called both numbers a million times but no one answered. Could not order takeout.

Not bad. Not mind blowing. The place is clean. The menu is easy to understand. Service is okay. The biryani was good. Mutton korma was very good, my finicky daughter ate it up. Its just that everything is $ 2.00 more expensive than the other places on average. PLUS, I caught myself saying what my dad says; «Homemade is better, we should have bought chicken for .59 per pound and made it at home».

Your staff is forcing me to do this!!!
OK so your website, Unilocal,printed menu, Google all have your timings written which probably is a mistake! It all mentions this restaurant is open till 11.00pm, but DONT go by this please!
Reached the place at 10.18pm on a Saturday evening, and were denied a table saying the restaurant is closed. The open signs were on and people were in there eating.
The waiter guy says sorry but we will only give takeaway now. Another one says, actually no it’s closed but allright one last order for you will can take!
Obviously disappointed and no choice left 5 of us decided to take away food. While waiting I generally asked one of the rude waiters why have they printed the timing at 11.00pm and he says «yes I know, but the management tells us to close by 10.30pm». So again I asked we were here well before 10.30pm right? And he says «so? We staff have to go home too right?»!
He did argue with me for about 10 mins and also said he would take my complaint to the management and walked away rudely!
Bragging about 5−6years of his experience in various restaurants with no respect for a lady and at the end no apologies I really am disappointed and would surely never return or even recommend anyone to this restaurant! Especially till that man works there at least!

Nice place, good food, good service and very reasonably priced. I had Mysore masala dosa and it was delicious! Will definitely go back to try different food.

Finally, a good restaurant serving spicy/​tasty indian food at a reasonable price and fast service.
Weekday lunch thali is pretty good, and so are the south indian and north indian dishes.
Having lived in Mumbai for 20 years, very few restaurants in the USA clear our bar for decent food — but this restaurant definitely does.
Hopefully, they will be able to maintain the chef and the management.
While I do not claim that they have the best service, we go there for the food, and as long as we dont get mistreated, we dont keep high expectations on service.

I’ve been here several times because it is close to my house and my husband likes it. He always gets the chicken biryani, my small children like the puris and mango lassis. I have trouble finding anything in the menu because i cannot tolerate spice. I ask the server for recommendations, and am pointed to certain dishes that can be made mild. Twice I’ve tried this and my food comes out extra spicy instead of mild. My husband couldn’t even eat my food and he likes spicy. Another time we ordered dosas that never came and when we asked about them there was no apology, we waited another 30 minutes and ended up boxing them to go.

Server was very friendly, attentive, recommended dishes, & even got creative with our order based on our desires. Food was very delicious! Butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, & garlic naan… Yum! The server even took my card for me to cash us out– going above & beyond protocol for this restaurant. Between service and food– highly recommend & will definitely return!

I felt super local in this place and felt the same way about the food. We ordered appetizers and chicken briyani, which was good. I was told it is very spicy and it was but it tasted so good that I didn’t care.
Luckily I had friends with me who knew what to order. Otherwise I would be lost and I didn’t feel like staff was encouraged to explain the menu.

Firstly, this reataurant is not owned by a hyderabadi. The taste literallly sucks to the core. We ordered vijawada chicken biryani, veg dum biryani and gobi 65. Both the biryani’s were abslolute non sense. Jus save money!!!

Service: 4 or 5 star. Waiteress was very friendly and volunteered to help/​suggest from the menu. When I looked around, the other person at the counter also walked up, asking if he could help. They leave extra napkins and cutlery on an extra plate — rather than leave the cutlery, un-​hygienically, on the table. Even when they brought us knives, they set them resting on our plates and not on the table. Nice to see such level of detail for hygiene.
I ordered, mostly based on the Waitresses recommendation of what was popular at Bawarchi.
Chicken 555: 5 star. Yes, it is about as good as it gets, for this type of dish. I have tried similar dishes in India and this is as good as I would find in India. This is very similar to Chicken 65, a popular and common appetizer in Indian restaurants. In fact, I met the guy who came up with the dish Chicken 65 — he said it was item #65 in his menu. many years ago, at his restaurant in Hyderabad, India. Chicken 555 was as good — it is a dry, deep fried chicken dish and was superb. Even though I have given a 3 star over all rating, I think there might be a good possibility that Bawarchi would have more 5 star deserving appetizers.
Chicken dum Biryani: 3.5 star. It was good. But nothing special.
Szechwan chicken fried rice: 2 star. I have tried Indian chinese style fried rice at many Chinese restaurants in India and this is — Meh. I have experienced better.
Chicken Noodles, chinese style: 2 star. Meh, I have experienced better.
Bawarchi seems to be a franchise. I have been to Bawarchi in Plano, TX. It was amazing, deserving 5 stars (I reviewed it here on Unilocal). At that location, both Indian and Chinese dishes were amazing. With that positive expectation, I drove two hours to dine here. It was quite disappointing. Fortunately, they did not have buffets. One cannot go for a $ 12 buffet and expect gourmet food. I avoid Buffet places. Bawarchi has extensive menu and it is likely that they have excellent apetizers.
But because of the entrees, this deserves two stars but counting its excellent appetizer and service, I thought I would change that to 3 stars.
PS: Bombay chopstix, which is close by also is an Indian chinese restaurant and has excellent apetizers. The entrees at Bombay chopstix and at Bawarchi were both about 2 to 3 stars. Lollipop chicken at Bombay Chopstix is simply amazing. a Must try!

We had the Chicken Dum Biriyani (Spicy) which was very good and flavorful.
Overall good Biriyani, only negative is we wanted boneless chicken and it had bones.

Easily the best Indian restaurant in west suburbs, especially for vegetarians. Ulavachaaru veg biryani, rava onion dosa are pretty good.

I have been to this place 3 – 4 times. First time experience was bad. Horrible wait time. Over the time they have improved the service. I am vegetarian so I have tried paneer biryani which sated my taste buds!!! Spicy enough!!! Butter naan are good too (fluffy and soft). My friends had good things to say about too. I would recommend this place!!!

Great service, good food, good new décor. Try the «dum aloo biryani» rice dish (serves like 2 – 3 people) or either one of two egg dishes (carb free, mind you). Chef or management will whip up a healthy, preservative free chili garlic sauce on demand. Their salted yogurt drinks («lassi») are a bit on the sour side, since they make them as one big batch in the morning, but try it anyway. You might like it! Prices are fine. For two dishes, one diet coke, we spent $ 26.14, including tax and 15% tip. White rice is included complementary with any nonrice entrée, and small sides of chutney are all also included with the biryani, complimentary. Great place!

Decent Indian Food. Lots of items on the menu however availability varies. Quality is not consistent and Service needs to improve.

I had one of the lousy biryani I had in my whole life. mutton not boiled and biryani is with full of dalda.

Great food, great quality n good nun of options :)
Completely impressed with the taste, we ordered «Natukodi» biryani (spicy) — was awesome n wud surely give 10 outta 10 … Gongura chicken was great aswell n garlic nans were well cooked n overall an awesome place — will surely comeback whenever in schaumburg vth frnds
Thanks for good food :)

Tried Chicken Dum Biriyani (Spicy) and boy was it good!!!
Biriyani was delicious with well cooked flavored rice.
Generous amounts of chicken that was tender, flavorful and had a good blend of spices.
Must visit for Biriyani lovers!!!

Ok, get past the fact the servers have a limited grasp of the english language (Despite saying vegetarian several times, she insisted I try the Chicken Tikka…)
Get past the fact the most of the items on the menu are not available, and most of the lunch selections are written in pencil on the side of a paper which clearly came from a fax machine,
Accept that there are some flies going around the restaurant because they left the back door open
Also get over the fact they may have forget a dish that you ordered…
Once you accept all of that… if you can… The food is freaking amazing!!! We had the vegetarian Biryani, Paneer Tikka, garlic naan, poori, and alu curry and were blown away by ALL of the flavors. Everything was authentic and had such an excellent combination of flavors we all stopped complaining and could not stop eating.
Since it was lunch we opted for the Paneer Tikka Platter, which was the only vegetarian combo that was available, and it came with rice, rasam, dal, sweet, and ritha. Everything was sooooooo good. Medium spice was perfect, since we had the kids with us. The food was brought out in a timely fashion.
If you like authentic south indian food with the masala and spice this is by far one of the best places in the Schaumburg area. They have only been open for about 10days, so I am sure once they get their act together this place is going to be awesome.
My only suggestion would be that the biryani should come with more riatha or yogurt on the side. The quantity given in a single order of biryani is enough for two people, but they only give about 3 spoons of yogurt on the side, which not really enough.
If you are craving some good old fashion South Indian Hyderabad food, this is going to be the new goto place. I look forward to trying the other dishes on the menu that were not available, including dosa, chili idly, and some of the other south indian specialties. I am also hoping that the servers become more familiar with the menu and are able to communicate the specials better. We are definitely looking forward to coming back.
