I went to this place before when they had different owner and the food and service used to be awful.  However, after being told by someone of its improvement and owner change I stopped in for lunch for the angry burger lunch combo for 5 bucks. The burger had a fried onion ring, cheese, spicy sauce and all the burger fixings.  It was delish!  Burger was just right and the fries were crispy and fresh.  They  didnt have that many drink options and Im trying to give up pop and really wanted an ice-tea.  The place could also use some sprucing up by brightening it up.  It felt a little dark in there.  Anyways, great food, price and service.  Ill be back when I get another burger craving.
Review Source:The place was pretty dead when I went there today with a friend. It looked as if it were just us and a few members from the owners family. As a result, the service was excellent, and our food was prepared quickly. Tom & Jerry was playing on the TV. The prices were fair. The place has a strange atmosphere to it, and the decor could use some work.
Review Source:I stopped in here with a friend after work on a Friday, and it was literally empty, with only a loud tv playing local news. We decided to stick around because we were hungry and had heard good things about the burgers. We were not disappointed on this front - I got a mushroom Swiss burger with their spicy sauce and it was very good. They also have garlic butter fries, and these are definitely with ordering as well; crispy and flavorful.
If I were only reviewing the food then I would hand out 4 stars. And maybe during lunchtime things are more lively, but eating in a completely empty restaurant on a Friday evening is not my definition of a great restaurant experience.
Have you ever tried eating a burger or pizza when traveling abroad? It's satisfying because it's something familiar but it's always a little off from what you're used to eating in the US. That's how I would describe my experience at Faizaan's Tasty Burgers. Â
From the appearance, you wouldn't think they sold burgers and gyros but based on the name and reviews, I had to order a burger and went with a Volcano. The burger itself was different - different as in foreign. The bun was chewy and had a texture similar to the roll used for Italian beef sandwiches and the sauce reminded me of a Southeast Asian red chili mixture. I imagined this is what a burger would taste like in Pakistan or Arabia. Even though it was different, it was still good. And for the price, it was a great deal for only $5 for a  1/2 pound burger.
To top it off, this burger place also serves biryani. Lost in translation? It's an Indian fried rice mixed with vegetables, meat, and spices. Half of the dining area is set up for large parties where they cater lamb, chicken, and goat biryani. I tried ordering it but it is only served on the weekends.
I'll definitely be back. Next time, it will be for their ethnic menu. Where else can you get a burger and a lamb biryani in the same order? (place ethnic punch line here)
Ordered the angry burger and garlic fries. The burger meat was cooked too long so it was a bit tough and the bun was a bit hard. I am not sure if you can request it to be cooked medium though so perhaps that is the solution to that. The sauce however was awesome.
The garlic fries were okay as well. A bit too tough, they would be better if a bit softer on the inside.
As far as service goes, the two young ladies working there were excellent. They were very friendly and helpful in splitting our large bill for each person and allowed us to place our order beforehand and return around iftar time. They also informed us of the complimentary chai, chole and dates. A+++ for service.
Next time I will be sure to try something other than a burger just to see how they do their other dishes. The wings seemed tasty but I did not try them.
I went to this restaurant on my own to order carryout 2 weeks ago. Â I was just looking for a new place for food but I won't be returning to this place for a long time.
The biggest problem is service. Â The place was empty except for one table with a family and the corner....Big Black Round Sofa Table Thing with a few people. Â So imagine my surprise when an order for a sandwich and fries would take almost 30 minutes to come out :o . Â So either the cook is extremely slow or lazy at delivering food OR they don't have a good food prep system in place. Â The food I got in the end was mediocre and not worth the wait. Â Fries were over-salted and the chicken in the chicken sandwich had too much sauce that overpowered the chicken taste.
All carbonated beverages are cans offered out of a fridge. Â That should give you a clue about the restaurant as a whole. Â The ONLY waiter/front staff there was nice to me but it's kinda sad that she works alone in the front.
Let's put all decor comments to rest by me stating what I saw: Black and Orange! Â So half of the wall to bottom is orange, and the other half to the ceiling (including the ceiling) was all painted black. Â No wonder the place feels dark. Â There are not enough windows or they are sized wrong to be using such dark colors. Â And the one long wall needs a better color choice...and perhaps more professional looking wood trim.
So yeah, this is a real review. Â Not a biased one like so many listed below. Â Compare the names of the reviewers to the name of this restaurant and you will see the bias.
Absolutely the worst restaurant experience we have ever had. Over two hour wait despite 'reserving' seats.
I've been here several times, with small and large groups, young and old. I've been here weeknights and weekend nights, when they're busy and when you are the only ones there (and the lady at the desk watches you while you eat). I assure you, their service is consistently bad.
I'm not going to go into the time I order carry-out from this place and realized our order was not correct once home, 30 minutes away. Or the blaring televisions and uncomfortable interior.
But there is no reason why a group of people who reserve seats hours in advance should still be subjected to a 20 minute wait upon arriving, and then have to choose and bring the tables and chairs together themselves.
There is no reason why said group should have to clean the tables themselves, with supplies provided shamelessly by the 'waitress'.
There is no reason why the group should have to take their orders themselves, forced to deliver the 'waitress' a neat list of what we wanted after she ignored us for so long.
There is no reason, after all of that, the group should have to wait literally, LITERALLY, over TWO HOURS for their food. This is not an exaggeration. Our entire plans for the night had to be changed due to the hours wasted at this place. I mean, my God, at the very least they could have told us while we waited that it was going to be so long. Â
Finally, there is absolutely no reason why we should not receive even a hint of an apology. When we insisted no gratuity be added onto our bill, we were told, 'That's fine, as long as you pay the full bill, [head wobble]."
We were nice about it, since some of our group were familiar with the workers/owners. But that is the problem with the skewed reviews on Yelp for this place. It's filled with family or well-intentioned people who are simply happy to have halal burgers outside of Saudi Arabia. But I think our community has grown to the point where we can stop breeding such mediocrity with complacence for the sake of being nice.
The food is alright as far as halal food in Chicagoland goes, but we often leave this place save nothing but lighter wallets and a sour taste in our mouths.
Since I heard very good reviews about this place from my friends, me and my wife decided to try their burgers.
They serve 100% Zabihah Halal meat according to the owner. My wife got mushroom Swiss burger which was great and I got a spicy bullseye burger. Both burgers were delicious. We waited for them for less then 10 mins. Not sure what pterosaur reviewers were taking about waiting for long period.
Enjoyed the nice environment and comfortable seating. The owner came by asking how the burger was and how things were going.
In short, our experience was delightful. Our daughter had fun as well with Chicken tenders we got for her so as family we all were happy! Will Combe back here.
Please experience it yourself then have an opinion reading negative reviews.
Delicious.
The place is located in a kind of shady place, lol, but it's nice and cozy-feeling on the inside. The name has changed, it's called Tasty Burger and Grill...we were a bit confused when looking for it.
I was here today with someone - i got the buffalo chicken sandwich and he got the philly cheesesteak sandwich. Mine was tangy and spicy without being overpowering, while my companion's was cheesy, beefy and just oh-so-good. We also had mozzarella cheese sticks for appetizers and the garlic butter fries. Both were delicious.
A lot of people are saying it takes time for the food to come out - I didn't think so at all. It was given to us in a timely manner and the lady behind the counter was extremely nice. She helped us pick good options. Â
Love that it's all zabiha halal and can't wait to come back and try one of the burgers!
Faizaan Gourmet Grill is now Tasty Burger and Grill. I've haven't been here for a while but I'm glad I came back last week and enjoyed a good, halal gourmet burger. It is not a fast food joint. Be patient, it is worth the wait. I had the angry bulls eye burger which is a spicier version of its bulls eye burger. My wife and daughter enjoyed their All American Burgers. The fries whether regular or butter garlic were good. Overall, it is a must try for good burgers.They have a nice variety of burgers. They have a lunch special from 11am-3pm for a burger, fries and a drink for $5.97. Just one request to the owners, please turn on the "heat".
Review Source:My friend and I came here to get some quality protein after we got our pump on at the gym. We walked in and were surprised because the place was empty on a Friday evening. We sat down and the decor is nothing appealing, although they were playing the office, which was quite entertaining.
I ordered a bulls eye burger with spicy BBQ. It was a good size and cooked well. The bun was delicious and really made the burger. Â My buddy got the chicken Philly burger and said it was good as well. Â We wanted to try the biriyani but its only available on sunday, so we assumed it must be good. Â Instead, we split chicken tenders and they were also decent.
This place had fast service and good food at decent prices. A neighborhood hole in the wall, if you will. We are probably going to come back again post-gym.
Mcdonalds just started to taste heavenly!!!!
First of all this place is way over priced for the kind of food they sell. Secondly its over rated. At times I wonder who are all these people with all these raving reviews. friends or family. If you want to have burger patties dipped in barbecue sauce, stay at home... there is nothing authentic about it. Be prepared for a longgg wait.... I mean really long... for a place that serves burgers and fries, you dont want to wait 35-40 minutes just to be disappointed...
If you crave a great burger you gotta try Faizaan Gourmet Grill.
FGG serves more than just burgers, but on this day it was all about the burger. Â I was impressed how juicy the burger was and not greasy.
They offer about a dozen types of burgers. Â As other Yelpers have reviewed. Â I ordered the Sunny Burger (fried egg) and added fresh jalapenos. Â I wanted to add bacon, but this is a halal restaurant. Â No worries. Â The Sunny Burger was scrumptious. Â The ingredients are fresh and the bun was unique, perhaps made of potato. Â Not sure, but made the taste memorable. Â The lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful. Â The interior is a bit interesting. Â Wonder if they turn this place into a disco after hours? Â Go and check this place out. Â I think you will be pleased you did.
WOW!!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!!
Fabulous burger, mouth watering butter garlic fries, scrumptious chicken tenders, and sooooo affordable!!!! Finally, a halal burger joint that got it right! Burger beef to bun ratio is perfect, burger bun is really yummy and hearty, toppings are fantastic, service isfast and friendly...LOVED it!!!! Â Try it, even if you're not in search of halal food, Faizaan will definitely meet or exceed your expectations!
Now I want to move to Hanover Park/Schaumburg area!!!! I know I will be coming back again and again and again!
We went there last week. Food was tasty and portion size was large. I ordered an american burger and seasoned fries and my wife got the chicken wrap.
Our waitress provided exceptional service. She checked back on how we were doing at right times (right times = not being interrupted when you have just begun to chomp on your food and can only manage a nod)
I would have given it five stars, but just giving four, due to lack of an ambience. Â I think they should at least experiment with some warm colors.
