Had the worst experience with family. Extremely rude manager Mr.AMJAD didn’t do anything and insulted my family when we complained. At 115 pm we entered, almost everything was empty, what was left was very raw chicken, burnt veg dish, dry rotten biryani.. my sister in law kept mentioning but Mr. AMJAD did nothing but badly insulted everyone and charged everyone including 2 kids who didn’t even eat. Old location was great but after this behaviour NEVER going back and I’ll definitely spread the word.

A friend recommended Lal Qila and true to it, the interior is quite attractive and nicely decorated. Food was great and we enjoyed our meals a lot. We ended overstaying a bit but the proprietor was patient & very nice about it. So I don’t get the negative feedbacks I read at all.

This is the worst place in terms of customer service. My friend invited couple of families for Sunday brunch. When we arrived there, there is no place to sit as there was a private party going on. Dishes were empty & all the drinks were gone. We somehow eat & then my friend asked for soda since there is no water on the table & kids were asking for drinks.

I have been there several times over the last 5 years and every time I go, I find the quality of food deteriorating. The last few times I did carry out. The bhindi masala they gave me was bad and I had to go back and return it after I started eating at 9 pm. They promptly returned the money however I couldn’t relish my food and got busy calling them and driving back. I thought it may be one off scenario (Dec 2015). However, that was not the last. The last time I ordered carryout was when I had party at home and ordered a half-tray karahi gosht which is definitely not cheap ($66). What they gave me was leftover and all the mutton pieces were severely over cooked and cushy cushy and not solid pieces. I could barely differentiate between the mutton pieces and gravy, it was so mixed together. Since it was leftover food, bad smell started coming when I started packing up after the party. How could a fresh item go bad so quickly!!! Even the guests may have realized that it was bad, that they barely ate anything from the tray. My whole tray was a waste. This is the last time I am ordering food from Laquila and would request others to verify the food specifically if they are doing a carryout. (Mar 2016).

Please stay away from this place, they have the worst service and very very bad attitude. Food does not taste at all. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

One of the worst restaurant you can think of. Owner is a illiterate person & don’t have any manners. I held my son’s birthday & just two days ago they are telling that restaurant has been closed by city because of rodent infestation. He is not returning my deposit money by saying that change your party date.

On father’s day 6/20/2015 at 8:40pm during the month of Ramadan, I was fasting; I visited Lal-Qila restaurant along with my Husband and my 5 year old. I have visited Lal-Qila restaurant prior to this incidence, so I had high hopes and expectations from this restaurant. Upon arrival after a 30 minute long hectic drive to the restaurant; the receptionist did not greet us; he goes what do you want? I told him, (older receptionist man) that we’re party of three; he didn’t say anything; we assumed that we had to wait; while waiting to be received at the front desk; we noticed party of four arrived; they were immediately taken to be seated on the normal round tables.

I live in Chicago near Devon Ave. but offen I choose to drive to Lal Qila For about an hour, it’s not because I am crazy, it’s because of their food. My family and my friends family love Lal Qila buffet. The ambience is good. Yes during Ramadan it will be busy, come to Devon if you want to see crazy and worst customer service…I guess you have not seen bad one. Overall Lal Qila food is good authentic Pakistani/Indian food. I live their meat items and they have many chioces to chose from. They have numerous amount of desert. And I am going there tomorrow.

I had been there with my friends, yes I do agree with other reviews the customer service really sucked.. There was a server who was scary & very rude. We were having lunch buffet & my friend was thirsty,as she called the server, he in return just said ” We are working on it” no clue what the hell does that mean… I had to get up & talk to manager & get some water. Food is very oily & full of cholesterol. Not recommended to any one. Instead just go a mile away & try the food in Indian Bistro.
