Sara’s Grill & Eastern Cuisine

Nice atmosphere. I tried this place on Monday night almost closing time. I had the platter 3. The food was nice off the grill. Warm and tender chicken. I enjoyed it. The people were nice and friendly upto the Plummer! I would come again.

Just stopped in here for the first time and it definitely won’t be the last. I ordered the butter chicken curry, aka Chicken Makhni, with the frontier chicken rice and it was delicious. The place is located next to amc theatre off 59 in a strip mall. Inside has a nice quiet atmosphere and the staff is very nice. I will definitely be coming back with my friends to show them my new find!

Hands down my favorite Indian food. I recommend trying everything! And then get the kheer and roll home.

Back for the umpteenth time because this is hands down my favorite place especially for Indian food. I can never get enough of their chicken makhni (butter chicken) and this time since I’m on a protein diet, I had it with cooked spinach– beautiful. And healthy! I also had lamb tikka masala which was also very tasty. Took my husband for the first time and he loved it too! He had shrimp curry which I tried for the first time and it was really good. Great ambiance, wonderful service. I always end with at least 3 cups of chai. If you want an excellent deal, come anytime until 3 to catch their buffet which offers all their best dishes. I’ll definitely be back for that soon!

Better customer service than a lot of other Indian restaurants so that is a huge plus! The food was great. To start We got samosas which were very tasty and surprisingly not greasy, We also had the Naan platter it was amazing!!! For our main we had platter #3 it was very flavorful and light; full of flavor and texture! The 2 sauces that came with it totally made the meal. Oh it also comes with basmati rice which is so aromatic!!! I can’t wait to come back. The only thing I don’t recommend is the mango Lassi. Way too sweet for me.

Sara’s has really really good food. Out of all the Indian/​Pakistani places we have tried so far, my boyfriend and i both agree this food is the best. He tried the Karrahi and I tried the Mahkni. The flavors in both were amazing.
Service was good, better than some of the other indian places we have previously tried, and the atmosphere is cozy and relaxed.
Also, the portions are proper. We had a little bit left over to take home. And the prices are very reasonable.
We are looking forward to trying the lunch buffet. You should go there!

Went here with the family.
Ambience is nice. Good location.
Decently priced.
Wait staff are friendly and hospitable unlike majority of desi restaurants I’ve been in the Chicago area.
Onto the food. Disclaimer: I’m first gen Indian and don’t really eat as spicy as my friends/​family. But even *I* found the food lacking in heat, flavor and spice. There was just no oomph. This is great for sensitive stomachs or those looking for an intro to indo-​pak cuisine.
We had grill platter, some chops, nehari and a variety of naans. The kheer was pretty good.
I was thinking of rating it three stars but I tacked on a star because everyone’s heat/​spice preferences vary.

I hope I won’t jinx myself but this is the second place in Illinois where I tasted the spices and doesn’t have to strain oil off of my food. Pretty darn good I must add.
We had to wait for some time before our food was served so I would have appreciated tawa roasted pappad (hint hint Sara’s grill) we ordered brain masala which was gamey but u know brain kinda gamey hence it was edible and prepared nicely. Sahi paneer brought the taste of mum’s cooking loved it. Their naan was round not the regular shape soft and buttred to perfection. We ordered goat biryani but I didn’t get the chance to try it yet and I am hoping it doesn’t have aloo in it. Overall good food and next time I am trying their buffet as that will give me a chance to try few more things. Untill next time take care

The food was good no complaints on that part however the service was beyond lousy I mean you get better service at a taco bell and now that’s sad it takes 10 mins to get a naan when yiou order it and on top of that its not even cooked all. the way through the dough was raw not good also they need to clean up their act they run it like a typical desi joint come on now for heavens sake you are in Naperville not on Devon Ave so have some class and run the business accordingly it wouldn’t hurt to ask your guest if they need anything or if everything is OK

Go to Sara’s! Love Pakistani and Northern Indian herbs. Sara’s hit the mark. Their samosas were fresh and aromatic — not the soggy greasy I’ve had elsewhere. Large portions — enough for a second meal! I requested paneer in my Chana Masala. The owner gladly accommodated my request and later stopped by to ask how it was because he’d never made it that way before. A consummate professional restauranteur. Waitstaff attentive. My only regret I’m here on business and live in Florida. Will miss their food but will remember it fondly.

We recently moved to naperville and went to sara’s Indian and Pakistani cuisine to pack dinner tonight… it was located on my way home and thought of getting food packed instead of cooking…
Being a thanksgiving day we were happy to see the restaurant was serving… To start we entered to see an empty place which was expected due to national holiday. though there were two staff people who helped us on our take away order…
We had ordered chicken tikka, murgh handi, dal makhani, naan and chicken biryani.
Taste — ⁴⁄₅ — Surprised to have such authentic taste of desi food… specially chicken tikka with bone or so called tandoori chicken was fabulous… i would recommend that to everyone
Curry and roti/​bread were delicious too
I was going to give 4 stars to this place earlier but decided on ⁵⁄₅ due to great Hospitality… fast service and delicious food on a holiday where most places were closed

We had never been here before, the hostess was awesome showed us all the items on the buffet and explained what they were. We opted for some items off the menu, not that the buffet didn’t look good it absolutely did and had plenty of items to choose from, but we had our heart set on curry chicken. We ordered the curry shrimp and chicken, gobhi masala, naan platter and samosas. Everything was very good we even ordered more samosas to go. We don’t have any Indian rest. In joliet so we had to take a small Cruz to get here but well worth the drive. We will be going back to this awesome place again!

With stylish décor, impeccable service and an absolutely satisfying meal, it was a nice treat eating something other than Panera as a dinner option — It’s the perfect dining complement to the movie theater complex, and I’m glad to see such a high quality establishment nearby.

Incredibly poor service… My friend found glass in his food. The waiting staff needed to be trained. My friend ended up being charged for his biriyani, and we had to mention to the staff multiple times to have it removed from the bill.

Even after all this new Indian resuturants and fine dine opend in area no one could beat Sara’s Biryani, samosa and kheer still the best. Owner is a true business man always greets you with smile and makes you feel you are a repeating customer and he admires it.

Sara’s is a true gem when it comes to Pakistani/​Indian cuisine. To get food like this outside of the city/​Devon is simply a blessing! I’ve had their Iftar buffet, and their suhoor buffet, during Ramadan and both were chock full of delicious options. Outside of Ramadan, I ordered food for takeaway today from their regular menu.
I ordered their Grill Platter #1, which included lamb chops, grilled fish, skewers of chicken shashlik, and Bihari kababs. Now, usually when I order a mixed platter, I only expect ½ or ²⁄₃ of the platter to be good — not all components are usually good. So imagine my surprise when each of the aforementioned components was cooked to perfection! I especially loved the chops, the shashlik and the fish. In addition to the platter, I ordered the Karahi Gosht (mutton/​lamb), and it was absolutely delicious — the curry was nice and rich, and just the right blend of spices without being overtly spicy or heavy. There was plenty of meat in the curry, and all of it was tender and scrumptious! The naan was warm and soft, and packaged well for the takeout, I imagine it tastes even better in house (it did when I went for the buffet). Lastly, the imli chutney was good, but perhaps needs to be slightly less sweet. The mint-​cilantro yogurt chutney was just pure perfection. They also packed a salad and some white rice, which I was not expecting so again I was pleasantly surprised.
Overall, Sara’s food has yet to disappoint me. Far from disappointing, their food is always satisfying and excellent, and their portions are pretty good. Also, their management is really sweet and quite accommodating. I would most certainly recommend this desi place to anyone who is looking for good Pakistani/​Indian food in the Aurora/​Naperville area.

Amazing. Just amazing The best Indian/​Pakistani I’ve had at the most reasonable price.

I feel like this review should be 2 part. The first part is food. Everything I’ve tried so far is good, and I loved their chicken tikka!
The second is service and value. This is where this place fails to meet expectations. The service is painfully slow. Both times I’ve been there (lunch and dinner), they’ve only had one person working the entire front part of the restaurant. The lunch buffet is laughable with only ¾ good dishes. And they don’t always honor specials listed on their website! All this being said, I hope they can turn this place around because it has potential.

My family and I were here to celebrate my moms birthday and the food was amazing! We all split the Chicken Makhni, chicken 65, a grill platter, the frontier rice, naan, and chicken biryani and everything was so good! The chicken 65 was my absolute favorite! We will definitely be going back! Service was also very good! Our waiter answered all of our questions and made some great suggestions!

This place is a good change from the usual Devon fare. Food is fresh, so it does take time, but well worth it.
Chappli kabob and seekh kabobs on point. Karachi gosht filled with plenty of good boti pieces and not flooded in oil, fresh naans. I will definitely come here again.
It’s a bit of a drive from the city, but well worth going to that bubble of town called Naper-​thrill
