HOTSTONE — Restaurant in Lombard

I had the opportunity to try the pizza as well as their breakfast halwa puri.

I ordered a veggie delight with additional chicken tikka toppings honestly it just tasted ok nothing exceptional. I honestly did not like the crust as it just felt like a normal bread compared to other halal places around serving pizza the good part was the generous toppings which were good but honestly I felt a few things missing.

Wings are ok nothing exceptional their too no spice kick very basic and also one of the wings I got had the quills still on the skin.

I wish they could do some pan pizza action and the crust having some garlic butter flavor and with the toppings if they could also make some use of oregano and garlic powder it will be a game changer. Also the chicken tikka taste more like shan tikka masala being used and does not have any smokey flavor which can definitely be achieved if they could grill the chicken rather than just cook in a pot.

About the halwa puri is just ok and I honestly felt they are using frozen puri rather than freshly made dough for puri which can definitely be seen with the consistent shape of each puri and they were too oily as well. The achar tasted just like achar you get of the shelves, yogurt raita whatever doesn’t go well with anything on the plate, halwa and chana tasted like home and aloo that was not saucy it was more like chunky mashed potatoes had the...

Happen to walk into this location while getting my car serviced and I will say I should of walked right back out. The dining room lights were turned off and the tv was off as well. Took a few minutes before someone came to the front to acknowledge us. The cashier is took our order and made no eye contact with us during the whole process. Immediately afterwards he walked off to the back. First came back with part of our order, then came back 10 minutes later with the second part. The gyro was dry and they gave me no sauce to go with it. The burger was ok. During our whole time there they kept the lights off and their tablets kept going off with orders pending while they were in the back laughing. My husband went to use the restroom and found a kitchen worker sitting in the stall with the door open with his apron still on. He apologized and left the bathroom without washing his hands. Left right after this. Do not recommend! Don’t do it!

Side note. The worker came out about 15 minutes after he gave me my gyro to tell me they were “looking” for the gyro sauce. It’s safe to say they are still looking for it because we never saw him again afterwards. What happened to...

With great disappointment I have to write this review, even though the recent last couple of times I’ve dined in and carry out from here was a good experience, today was extremely displeasing and disappointing. I love to encourage and support local businesses but today I went with a dear friend to have their gyros pizza and sandwich. From the initial look of the gyros sandwich, it looked very old, dry and overcooked. I still went ahead and took a bite or two, and instantly the taste was unpleasantly off. Immediately I noticed an ant in the meat. Immediately my friend and I stopped eating and threw away our remaining food as we were overly displeased at that point. The owner there looked nervous when I presented him with the food and did offer to remake the food but at that point we were done and just got a refund. They seem like good people and I hope they learn from this, but that meat looked very old and dry. Please be careful as you wouldn’t want your customers to fall sick.

**Update- Hours later after eating here, I got very sick where I threw up and a rash broke out on my face, and worst part is it caused me to miss a day of fasting in the...
