Flaming Wok ‘n Grill

First let me start by saying this place is quite disgusting and I should have been able to tell by looking at the outside before going in. I work down the street and stopped in after for dinner. The food was not good and as others have mentioned overpriced. Will not be coming back.
As if this was not bad enough I park near this place sometimes if I cant find a spot closer to work since it is zoned for free parking on Halsted. I came out the other day to find soup was poured all over my car. I spoke with a colleague of mine who also parks near here occasionally and found out the same thing happened to his car! The owner obviously feels like he owns the street parking here and is doing this to anyone’s cars who are not his Taxi driver clients which is ridiculous!

I visited «Flaming Wok n’ Grill» on Sunday January 3^rd, 2016 at approximately 2:00am. The restaurant has a paper menu listed on Unilocal and also i received the exact menu in the restaurant. It show as follows: Full Meal $ 9.00 Full Order 8.99 Half Order 6.99. The owner starts recommending a lot of food and writes everything he says down so i stop him and say: «I’ll have 2 Full Meals of Chicken Tikka» (it’s an indian restaurant) and i point at the menu. He brings me what i wanted and an infinite amount of Naan.
So in the end we expected to pay $ 18.00 + tax. The owner then brings us a $ 50 bill and charged us A La Carte for every item, and when we asked why in the menu doesn’t reflect that his response was that «His prices on GrubHub are the correct ones». I tell him i want to pay the advertised price; he gets mad and calls the cops on me saying im trying to steal from him. I allow him to call the police.
The Police come and super nice guys tell him that he has to charge us what he’s advertising, so in the end he’s forced to charge us the $ 18+tax but this was 35mins after we were supposed to have left. By the way this establishment is filthy and the employees didn’t wash he hands and started making naan.

Before you read the review below, note that the door man of our building refused to let the delivery guy in due to the concern and safety of the tenants. Can you believe that? Here are the details:
I ordered 3 items via Grubhub. They called me to tell me that one of the items was «out». So we negotiated on an alternative.
About an hour later, I get a call from the driver who asked me where i live. Why didn’t he have my address from grubhub order? Anyways, I gave him my address.
Driver asked me to meet him at the front of the building. I told him i couldn’t because my small baby is sleeping in the apartment. I asked him to deliver to my apartment.
The delivery guy walks into our building, and started yelling at the door man. The door man didn’t let him in the building because he said the guy was rude and he didn’t want someone rude inside the building due to th SECURITY issue. This has never happen to us before.
The guy called me and yelled at me. I asked him to leave food at the front desk and went to pick it up.
Food was not what i ordered. Out of frustration, I threw the food away.
All this took 2 and a half hours.
I am going to call better business bureau.
I order from grubhub almost weekly. This has been the worst delivery experience i’ve ever had on grubhub.

Best place about this place is, it remains open 24 hours. Food was good and portion was generous for price range.

I’ll admit — I was intimidated at first. Pretty sure they just took over a Chinese restaurant, and never bothered to change the name. The place doesn’t look the nicest, and the way to order is to essentially point at one of the 6 – 8 chafing dishes behind the counter and cross your fingers. English is not a first language for anyone there, and some communicate better than others. All that said — the food rocks. The price is great, and the Naan is bar none, I could eat that all night. I recommend the lentils when they have it.

DON’T ORDER FROM THIS PLACE, they do not post prices for anything and rip people off by charging double. I went in and ordered food to go and was charged what i felt was alot of money for the amount of food and the type of place this is. It is a very messy and dirty place, which i am ok with, but not for the price they charged me. When i got home i checked their menu online and saw i was totally ripped off. STAY AWAY.

This place just did me so dirty, I am sorely disappointed and would like to challenge management to rectify the wrongs they have committed toward me.
I ordered delivery tonight, like any other night in the loop. I was told I would wait for an hour, a time period I deemed appropriate for a meal this anticipated. You could imagine my dismay when I lacked my order, 1.5 hours after I ordered it.
So I called the store, and the person on the other end only seemed vaguely aware of my order. He told me that he’d have to switch out the chicken puffs for samosas in order to save time — I was okay with this.
10 minutes later the driver calls asking me for directions, apparently google maps isn’t standard issue for the delivery industry these days.
The driver leaves the food in THE LOBBY, we were only informed by our nice doorman.
We open the packages, only to find that they stiffed us on our replacement samosas, they FORGOT THE NAANS, and our food was cold and stale.
Overall my experience was ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. To make matters worse, I tipped via grubhub ahead of time. I am very upset with my experience and would like management to respond to me ASAP.

Great place to go have Indian food after a late night party. Feels great to have Indian food so late in the night.

The boy was hungry and there was no food at home so we stopped in while we were driving on Halsted. I was a bit reluctant to try because I have heard some not so great stories from 5 years ago.
We ordered some keema (ground beef curry) with naan and chicken biryani to go. The biryani was a decent amount of food and made for great leftovers. The keema was slightly greasy and they didn’t give us a lot as I would have expected. It good with some steamed rice we had at home. Everything was spiced okay and wasn’t too overly greasy.
the place itself was decorated to feel more welcoming… at least more than other cabbie joints.

Bad food and service. Tried to charge extra in the final bill. force you to buy bottled water.

Absolutely awful. The first thing I did after eating their food is write this review. I went in on a Thursday night to get take out and this is what happened.
1. They barely gave us any food compared to the food you get when you dine in– 8 kababs, enough chicken for one person and 4 soggy uncooked parathas for $ 44.
2. They took over half an hour.
3. They kept trying to upsell the food. I kept having to tell them to remove things from my order that I didn’t order.
4. There was hair in the food.
DO NOT GO HERE. GO TO SHAN RESTAURANT. SOOOOO MUCH BETTER and CHEAPER!!!

I ordered food and specifically stated breast of chicken, even saying switch the dish if it was not breast of chicken, what was delivered was greasy and not breast of chicken, two legs and thigh meat no sauce just pure grease. I ordered two different naan and only received one, the order was delivered by a taxi cab who called for me to go down to the street for it. I am not eating any of it. Annoyed they could not get it right!

Its open ²⁴⁄₇ and serves Indian food and just a block away from The MID

Frontier chicken is my favorite… delicious rice and the best naan I’ve had! Food for the soul, late night… all right!

Since I was only visiting my brother in the city for less than 24 hours, we decided to stay in and just catchup. He suggested this place since it was nearby, so we decided to walk to the place and check it out.
You know you are in the right place when you are the only non-​cab driver customers in the joint.
If you are looking for a good Mediterranean food, this is the place! They got multiple choices base on how daring you are when venturing on the flowchart of spiciness. Their naan bread are all completely handcrafted and freshly served right out of the stone-​bakery device (I don’t know what it’s called). They will not disappoint!

After a late drunk night out we tried something diff then typical pizza or gyros. This spot is open 24hrs, you won’t see your typical 3am crowd here. Instead you will see this place filled with cabbies, most likely watching cricket. It’s pretty low key a «dive» or Indian diner you might say. There really isn’t a menu just a dry erase board on what they are serving. We usually get the frontier chicken which is amazing, with naan or parathas. If you are not a fan of Indian food you will prb not be a fan of this place. This place is not fancy, food is not over the top, its homey with good prices, but if your craving Indian while ur drunk this will deff hit the spot! I don’t drink chai but my friends say it’s great here. Overall deff worth a stop if ur trying to find late night or early morning grub !

Order takeout, don’t try to order delivery or eat in here — when we came in we asked for a menu and they couldn’t even find any and directed us to the wipe board on the wall. If you don’t know what anything is, just take a look at the items in the buffet behind the glass and pick what you want. DEFINITELY recommend the Naan, it was made fresh and completely delicious. Had the Chicken Masala and the Lentil Curry — both sauces definitely up to par (still feeling the subtle burn!) They have a rotation of daily dishes, so looking to go back on a different day and see what’s out. If you’re a fan of no-​nonsense curry it’s definitely a great spot.

A local cabby joint that’s open 24 hours… Overall not that impressed with any meals other than the frontier chicken… we tried the chicken biryani, roti which was not fully cooked, butter chicken and butter panneer. The wait was a bit ridiculous and they did overcharge us but management was quick to take the charges off without any issue which is why I srill gave this place a 3 star… probably won’t go back unless I’m craving the frontier!

This place seems to be the spot for Indian and Pakistani comfort food.
The fiancé and I came here after an event at Kendall College (across the street), just to check out what all the excitement was about. This place is VERY casual. In fact, it has NO ambiance. You just order your food, they bring it to you, you eat, and you leave. Prices are very good and food is VERY tasty.

I ordered for delivery. It took 1.5 hours for the food to arrive. I also got 1 wrong item and was shorted 1 «side». I contacted the restaurant through Unilocal and received no response.
Food-​wise, it was pretty good. Definitely 4 stars.
I probably won’t be ordering again due to the long delivery time though. At least the food was hot when it arrived. I wouldn’t hesitate to dine in if I was in the area.
8÷17÷14 edit:
Out of options and craving Indian. I placed my order at 9:48PM. 11:10PM rolls by and still no food. I call the restaurant and some guy who cannot speak English very well struggles to have a conversation with me and eventually hangs up on me. I call back and someone else picks up. Tells me that the manager who delivers the food is not in today so they are not delivering. I demand a refund and the guy gives the phone to the person I spoke to earlier and we struggle with the language barrier yet again. Then I get the other guy back on and he tells me to call back around 1−2AM so I can speak with the manager… ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I told them I’ll figure it out on my own. Luckily GrubHub customer service is awesome, refunded me the money and gave me some credit for my next order. GH even said they called to confirm my order for delivery and they said OK.
Super frustrated and super hungry. Will never consider ordering from here again.
