Shadaab Opens Under New Ownership With Hyderabadi Buffets in Chicago Illinois

The Devon Avenue restaurant's October 16 debut brings breakfast, lunch and dinner service to a familiar address.

October 23, 2026 • Illinois • BY BUFFET AUTHORITY

Shadaab Restaurant and Grill opened under new ownership on October 16 at 2311 West Devon Avenue in Chicago, with a Hyderabadi buffet program extending across breakfast, lunch and dinner. Its grand-opening spread reportedly ran to more than 40 items, including mutton dum biryani, haleem and mutton marag.

Chicago Patriot News identifies the new operator as the Deccan Group of Restaurants and describes a halal menu with Mughlai dishes, chicken specialties, fish, vegetarian selections and pani puri. Desserts and ice cream rounded out the opening buffet. Biryani and haleem are already fairly persuasive reasons to investigate; the rest of the spread gives them company.

The report lists daily breakfast, weekday lunch and larger lunch and dinner buffets. The more-than-40-item count describes the grand-opening spread; separate menus and item counts for each regular service have not been published.

The name has history at this address. City records for the earlier Shadaab Restaurant show it operating at 2309–2311 West Devon in 2024, with an administrative out-of-business entry dated October 1, 2025.

A new retail food license for Shadaab Restaurant and Grill, under Hasnain LLC, was issued October 16, 2026. The records support a return at the familiar Devon Avenue address under a new licensed business. They do not establish a connection to other similarly named restaurants.

The opening report describes a 24-hour restaurant with buffets organized around breakfast, lunch and dinner. Specific buffet windows have not been established, so anyone planning a particularly early breakfast or late supper should check which service is available.

Opening-week specials ended October 22, and regular buffet rates have not yet been confirmed. For an address returning to service, that leaves the everyday prices and meal-by-meal rotation as the next useful details for regulars.
