Been passing this place for a while and thought would finally try it out. Its a mix of middle Eastern, Indian, and Italian. We tried the mogo fries and Kenyan crisps for appetizer. They are both great. The pili pili sauce with it is really good. We also had various pizzas. The crust is crispy and had a nice flavor to it. There were ample toppings and sauce, all with equally good flavor. All pizzas are 10" and can easily serve 2 people. We were all pleasantly surprised at how good everything we had tasted. Not sure how the other items fare so cant comment on that, but if you want good pizzas and some really good appetizers this place is it. Ill be going back there again for sure.

I was stuck at the Hilton in Schaumburg and saw their menu in the lobby. Surprisingly unique menu and all of the items have kick! I figured its standard pizza and sandwich fare but you can tell the ingredients and fresh and cooked to order. I got my food 10 mins before they said and for the price its pretty damn good! Make sure you get the falafel wrap, I think this is the best falafel wrap Ive eaten outside of Dubai. Super hospitable staff and clean bathrooms. The owner or host (not sure) came by to check everything was good which is a nice touch from a casual place and shows they care about what they serve. I like supporting family places like this. Great surprise in the burbs.

This place is awesome. I stopped by with coworkers on a weekday and saw falafel wraps and chicken tikka pizza. Both were perfect. Chicken was juicy and flavorful and falafel was crispy on outside and fresh and creamy outside. Cheese pizza is around $6 and its $2 extra for chicken and they spread it liberally. Its not full service so make sure you grab the food from the counter but they checked to see if we liked everything. The bathrooms were also super clean which is a good sign. I love seeing well run family places in Scahumburg. Try the mogo pilli pilli fries and Kenya crispies super addicting!

We saw the sign at Patel Brothers exit door. First I was skeptical that if this is the NY Famous pizza so I asked the person at counter and he explained me. I have had NY Famous pizza so I remembered the taste. Their pizza is NY Famous pizza. We had regular veggie pizza and Paneer pizza. Both pizza were great in taste. Nice and clean place. Very good customer service. The owner was even nice to bring an appetizer for us try on the house. I havent seen that a Deshi place before. I told my family and we are planning a trip back to this place.

Great food and right price. Ordered spicy mogo fries, regular mogo fries, chicken tikka pizza, and the spicy chicken wrap. Everything was as I hoped. Best fries Ive ever eaten in my life. Seriously amazing. Good portions of chicken (will eat the rest tomorrow at work), super tasty wrap (the pilli pilli sauce in the fries and sandwich was amazing! Service was super nice and took time explaining what mogo fries are. After some googling theyre healthier than regular fries too! Will definitely order again when Im in town.

Stopped in today with family and found the best lunch in Schaumburg. We got a massive amount of food for the price. I loved their chicken tikka pizza and the falafel wrap was the best I have had in a long time. They had juices and smoothies and I definitely recommend to try the Ferrero Rocher milkshake. My parents got the Kenya Crispies and Mogo Pilli Pilli Fries and they were addictingly good. Service was friendly and the restaurant and bathroom were very clean. Meat here is Zabiha Halal.

Best Mediterranean and middle eastern options in the area. The pizza and falafel wraps are also amazing. I love all the pilli pilli items from the chicken tikka Issas to the mogo fries. The place is really clean and its clean and I often see the owner eating food from the kitchen which is a good sign. Awesome addition to the community. I come here multiple times a week and as long as they keep it up Ill continue. This place is the best in Schaumburg for lunch.

Its modernized Mediterranean food. Its actually really good and really filling. I thought the $6 lunch meal wouldnt be enough to satisfy my hunger but boy was I wrong. I was stuffed at the end. I havent tried their pizza yet though so Ill review that once that happens. But overall, for going there for a first time, I was definitely satisfied. The setting is really comfortable and nice. Filled with life, rather than dullness. Would definitely go again.

Great family place with pizzas, wraps, canzone, smoothies and shakes. Reminds me of the little pizza and falafel shops in Queens in NYC and the food is on point. Royally the best thin style pizzas in Schaumburg and the pilli pilli and chicken tikka options are unique and tasty. Try the mogo pilli pilli fries and kenya crispies on the side. Food is made in front of you and the place is always clean and service amazing. Earned all 5 stars!

This place was the absolute bomb. Everything that i love in one magical place. The quality of the food the service and the Pizzas were absolutely amazing. Not only do i recommend this place for a casual quick bite but its also awesome for a relaxing sit down meal. Typing this review has been one of the hardest things for me cause i am hungry again. Cant wait to stop by when Im back in town next for lunch and dinner!

Awesome pizza, sandwiches, and appetizers. Best lunch in the area and great for dinner. They had a buy 2 get 1 free and I could see them making everything fresh. Very friendly service too! Love supporting local places and this place does it right. Will be back soon!

This is the best lunch spot in Schaumburg. Fresh tasty pizzas, and sometimes I mix it up with the pilli pilli wraps, both chicken tikka and paneer. Falafels are also really nice tasting. Plan to try Ferrero Rocher milkshake next. Didnt expect this in Schaumburg!

Visited for work and loved this place. Was close to my hotel and the options were unique and tasty. Pilli pilli ries are amazing and Ill order again for that alone. Falafel was creamy and crispy and paneer and chicken tikka pizzas were both very tasty.

The best pizza in Schaumburg. They have both paneer tikka pizzas, and what I learned were Indian items from East Africa that make up the appetizers. Get pilli pilli sauce with anything you order, its amazing. Great option in the burbs.

Being an Indian from Tel Aviv, its like this place was made for me. Chicken Tina pizza with some fresh hummus. I guess if theyre both good it really is similar to New York. The Mogo Pilli Pilli fries are extremely addictive.

Amazing food and really friendly staff. Asked and received a custom paneer tikka pizza with veggies and falafel! Looks weird but tastes great! Friendly staff and clean restaurant. Will definitely return when in the area!

Pizza is no where near new york pizza. Very hard crust, cheese not sticking on pizza, bland taste. Pizza was very average and reviews online are not representing real facts. There are much better places in the area.
