Halal Express Cuisine — Restaurant in Oakbrook Terrace

Delicious food!!!

A burger joint in a strip mall doesn’t inspire confidence, but you walk into this cozy place, with attractive wall murals, and somehow you get the feeling that you’re in the right place.

We were in a rush, so came here for a quick lunch - ordered the following: double cheeseburgers, peri peri burgers, veggie samosa burger (off menu) and mango habañero wings….and EVERYTHING was fantastic!!!

The double cheeseburgers were juicy, and succulent, the peri peri grilled chicken burger was tender and saucy, the wings were absolutely delicious, crisp despite the mango habañeeo sauce which had the perfect level of sweet heat. Lastly, the veggie burger - so the menu has FANTASTIC samosas, so when we asked if they had a veggie burger, they told us they can prepare a delicious burger using their veggie samosa. Imagine our skepticism, and then our utter shock, when it turned out to be the most delicious spicy, saucy samosa burger we have ever sunk our teeth in! Overall, an excellent experience, but with all the personnel exuding immense warmth and gracious hospitality. Definitely coming here OVER and OVER...

Update: They are becoming the best burger place in the area. They've updated and added more foods to their menu. They are still my "to go to" place for quality and most affordable foods. I just tried their veggie burger and loved it! So far, this place is one of the only places that serve a veggie burger that is delicious!. Keep it up. My recommendation is to call ahead of time like 15 minutes ahead to order your food, since they cook it fresh off the grill. I've had no bad experiences so far. We've also tried their Zinger Burger and the Gyro Salad, and they are all delicious!

I finally tried this hidden gem after 3 years. Loved the two sandwiches I've gotten so far. Their philly cheese steak and Gyro sandwiches are fully loaded. You can tell they are very generous with the meat. You cannot beat a good tasting sandwich, fries, and drink for $5.99. I highly recommend their lunch specials because of their awesome low price. Keep up the good work. They deserve more customers and referrals. One of the best philly cheese steak sandwich spots...

This place has been catering for hot lunch at my school for the past 4 years and I love their biryani, which they serve on Fridays. Their catering agent (lunch lady) is nice; but this year the price for the meal has inflated up to $6 regardless of the menu item; last year it was $5 and pre-COVID the price was $4, and there were more side options, like chocolate milk, etc. But what's convenient is that now the parents can Zelle the money to the lunch lady. Recently, they started this new pattern to serve cheese pizza on Wednesdays, chicken tenders on Thursdays, and chicken biryani with raita on Fridays; so only Monday and Tuesday might have something unique to serve now; it used to be cheese pizza Wednesdays and chicken biryani Fridays at our school for a long time. In general, they serve your typical fast food items, which are okay, but my go-to is the biryani! Also, whenever they write something like "chow-mien" or "chicken with waffles and hash browns" on the monthly hot lunch menu, the taste is not as impressive...
