Loved By Our Customers

Very good service, attentive host, food came out very quickly and was on point. The spice wasn't too overwhelming and we had it on regular spice. Portions are pretty large and each dish can probably feed 2-3 people. Good quality and taste was there. The side sauces were great compliments (spicy, sweet, and jalapenos sides). Would come back if we travel again in this area. Thank you for the service!

One of the best halal Chinese I’ve had in Chicago, amazing food, amazing service, and an amazing atmosphere. The food came out quick and hit the spot, just what I needed after a long day and the brothers running the restaurant were able to accommodate us even though the kitchen was abt to close. Shout out to Ahsan Mohammed for all that he did for us. Def check this spot out if you’re in the area, won’t disappoint.

A Chicago Staple Since 1981 There's a reason they've been around so long. Their Hot & Sour Soup is the ultimate comfort food and the quality is always flawless. Hands down our favorite spot!

Usmania Chinese Restaurant is a treat! The mix of desi and Chinese food is so yummy! I love how they blend the flavors together. The chicken fried rice is awesome, and their spicy desi dishes are just right! The atmosphere is nice, and the staff is friendly. Definitely a great spot for a delicious meal!

We (eight family members) drove an hour+ from the suburbs for some desi Chinese halal food, and we were not disappointed! We were worried because some of the reviews are brutal, but our experience was outstanding. Great food, great service, great chai. We especially liked the dry chicken Manchurian, egg fried rice, sizzler chicken, and Mongolian beef.

Such a delicious spot for halal Chinese food! Portions were great and food quality was amazing! Their fried rice especially is so good. We were served very fast today and everything was perfect. We will definitely visit again when in town. We also tried the Malai Kulfi and it tasted so fresh and authentic.
