Our Story
Michelin Award-Winning Restaurant in Chicago
In Chicago, the culinary legend of Sabri Nihari was born with founder Mr. Abdul Wahid Butt in 1996. From a modest spot on Devon Avenue, Sabri Nihari gained fame for its signature dish, Nihari.
The excellence of Sabri Nihari quickly spread, captivating both locals and tourists. The aromatic allure of dishes like chicken biryani, goat biryani, frontier chicken, chicken tikka boti, and haleem drew people from all over the city.
While rooted in Indian and Pakistani cuisine, our appeal knows no bounds. We’ve become a favored choice for banquets citywide, enchanting guests from prestigious hotels to suburban venues.
Our influence extends beyond Chicago, catering to events across the nation. Upholding the authenticity of Indian and Pakistani cuisine, our legacy stands strong as a cherished institution, uniting cultures through the universal language of food.
