Masala Indian & Thai Cuisine

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...

I ordered the Lamb Biryani and it was perfection. Flavorful, spiced well, generous portions of lamb layering the bottom of the tray, and enough for...

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...

Delicious food and great atmosphere! I loved the lamb masala and the garlic naan.

I would love to give this place a good review as I like the food and the owner seems to be a very nice guy. BUT.. I've ordered the exact same thing about 5 times for take out since we moved into the neighborhood. Every time I have requested that the chicken tikka be made with no onions as my spouse cannot eat onions. I made this request even though the menu does not list onions as an ingredient. The first time, I placed the order on line then went to pick up the order early, chatted with the owner, mentioned the no onions again, and he went in the back to make sure there were no onions. EVERY TIME SINCE THEN I have requested no onions in the two areas on the online order site where you can make special requests and every time the chicken has been prepared with onions slopped over top of the chicken. I seriously can think of nothing else to do to try to have the food prepared without onions and will no longer be buying from this establishment.

We stopped in based on reviews and I found them to be spot on - excellent food in a small family restaurant. The dining room wasn't busy when we stopped in but they did a brisk carry-out business the entire time that we were enjoying our meal. The staff was friendly and attentive, the pacing of the food was modest but arrived steadily, and all four of our meals were fantastic. They definitely have their own twist on spicing for dishes as they all seem to vary *slightly* from the same things I've had at other restaurants (my palak paneer had pleasant hints of a nutty flavor), but they were all very enjoyable and not dramatic departures from the classics. Portion sizes were reasonable and probably enough to provide leftovers for most folks. We'll definitely return - nice people and great food all around.

Biryani n lamb masala was perfect. I can keep on eating them. But samosa was kind of bland for me. Service was very good. Will go again for other stuffs in menu

I was telling my friend yesterday that if I were to move from Chicago this would easily be one of the top 5 restaurants I'd miss the most. This is easily the best Indian restaurant I've been to. The food is amazing, the service is incredible and super friendly (seriously, eat there in person instead of take out if you have the time). I've never had a bad experience here and I go at least a few times a month. My favorite thing to do is go there with one other person, order palak paneer (which is my favorite there and everyone I've gone with agrees - even my friend who is from India and is very picky about Indian food in Chicago loves their palak paneer), lamb biryani, and an order or two of paratha. We get it extra spicy but I've had it without changing the spice level as well, and it's just as flavorful. Order some masala chai and some kheer for dessert and it's truly delightful.

Highly recommend. Husband-wife duo, both incredibly nice. Food was great, portions were large (biggest samosas I've ever had), and prices reasonable.

The chicken and beef shawarma were horrible! The beef and chicken tasted like I was eating dirt and I could not even chew the beef. The rice was missing flavor. AND to top it off the pita was hard as a rock!! I'm Never ordering from this place ever again!!!!
