Dont buy Naan from here to go. It is so small . Two bites Naan and price is same as Regular Naan. Food is not that great also, seems very old food sitting for few days or weeks. Not sure about Grocery prices

I don't understand why people are writing bad reviews on this place, to be honest I came to this store recently a little scared by the reviews. I thought the food and service was going to be bad but turns out very lovely and welcoming people were there to serve me. I ordered a goat biryani and a chicken 65, it took a bit of time to get ready but the quality of food was amazing. reasonable pricing as well. This is proof that recent reviews are just fake people that don't have a life are trying to bring good businesses down. "very bad couple runs business and don't be fooled by fake 5 star reviews" well I can very much tell you that this 5 Star review is VERY real. I don't get why people are negative in this world, this small store deserves more recognition. Try new things out, don't be afraid of fake 1 star reviews.

Randomly stopped in on my way back from work because I was curious what this place was. It's actually a small halal grocery with refrigerated/frozen meat and some baked goods. You can also order food from a menu at the checkout counter and they'll make it in a kitchen in back. I ordered a goat/rice dish and found it to be a good value--tasty and filling. My son likes spicy food, so I'll definitely take him here next time.
UPDATE: be sure to order about an hour in advance of picking up cooked meals. It only requires a little planning and you know it all made fresh!
DISCLAIMER: I'm neither Islamic nor from Pakistan, so I can't speak to the authenticity of their offerings.

I have a good experience in terms of getting groceries, meat and their delighted food.
Good customer service. I have never came across an inconvenience or never get disappointed.
I would highly recommend to newly Pakistani who move in to Arlington heights because your craving will be satisfied here.

Ordered butter chicken, 2 roti, and 1 paratha with plain rice. Picked up order. Disappointed is an understatement. Butter chicken was discusting!! It had a weird taste that I had never had before. The parantha was frozen , which they warned up. End up throwing the whole food away. Waste of $40 but lesson lamented l learned.

This was my first ever attempt to get food from this store. One of the closest places to my house and decided to have chicken sheekh kabobs and heard a lot about this place, very good flavorful meats with awesome restaurant but homemade food. And I landed up with burnt dinner. I for some reason even think they were frozen shami brand which they cooked in the store and gave it to me. Really upset with tonight’s food choice.

Asian Island is a piece of heaven in Northwestern suburbs. Not only they keep products at good prices but also the taste & quality of their food is awesome. Biryani is top notch. Keep up good work and add more items to menu.

Excellent food, God, these guys should open a restaurant, they have the best desi food I have ever eaten in Chicago during the past 30 years. And I eat out a lot. They do catering as well, top, top class quality of food and huge quantities with very reasonable prices.
They are just THE BEST one can ever find in USA.
Besides, their grocery prices are excellent, along with excellent service. They treat you with respect, courtesy and total professionalism. I highly, highly recommend this shop, try it out and you will also be their huge fans.
