    Doordashed this restaurant for the first time this afternoon. The lamb masala was really tasty but EAT CAREFULLY! I wasn't expecting bone fragments and nearly choked on a few. Large portions for the price. (The picture is what was left over after my belly was quite full).

    Food didn’t taste good, service wasn’t good and everything was so expensive, wouldn’t recommend it 👎

    Worst food ever. We got charged so heavily for the worst food. Tasteless, bland. They are selling tasteless pulav in the name of biryani. Paneer curry -tasteless. Do not waste your money.

    I had the chicken biryani with rice. It was wonderfully flavorful and spicy. The rice was very aromatic and the complexity of flavors were a sensation for the palate. Try their tea with your meal, you won't be disappointed.

    Friendliest people of all downtown by far. Go during lunch buffet, don't expect too much variety, and have a taste for spicy food and you will enjoy for sure. Only the best choices which make up for the limited options.

    Thrilled to have found the Pakistani joint. Went here on a weekday lunch and had the buffet. Casual place, not fancy. There wasn't a sprawl of options on the buffet, but that's okay because everything on there was very delicious. Loved the tikka. Host was very polite and pleasant. I ate the buffet and had a cold tea, I think the total was about $10.

    We got the lamb masala and lamb biryani. Neither were flavorful enough; I think we’re too used to spicier Indian meals. We were sad to find that they did not give raita with the biryani unless you ask. I called when I got home and the lady mentioned that we have to ask for it. I didn’t even think of it — first time here. Oh well. Good to know for future. If we’re in the area, I may consider revisiting and trying a different dish. The lady that prepped the food and rang up our order was very friendly. I wanted to love this place so bad. :(

    Awesome food, I had the Chicken Tiki Marsala and would 100% recommend to anyone. Took a star off simply because the place didn't look too pleasant to sit in and eat, but the food was excellent.

    Everything I've had here is incredible! I wish I could dine here more often, but I'm not usually in the area until after they close. The woman that owns the place is so sweet and friendly. If you're in the area, you won't be disappointed if you stop in for some food.

    Ordered online and restaurant never confirmed order or responded to any of my phone calls/communications despite being listed as open and allowing me to order through their ordering service, Zuppler. Never ended up getting in touch and had to jump through hoops just to get my money back.

    We have order chicken karahi and mango lassi. The food was worst. It was smelling very bad like rotten food and the chicken was half cooked. The lady forgot to give bread and raita. I came home and saw these were missing. I gave one star for the mango lassi as it was really good. I suggest not to go to this place.

    Only open 11-3 on weekdays. Nice food. I had beef chapli kabab. Not the best ambience though.

  • 5/5 Garrett F. 2 years ago on Google
    Folks this place looks pretty good in the wall, and it is, but don't let that stop you. Truly amazing and authentic food that you cannot get anywhere else. And it is so reasonably priced. I felt like I payed nothing for this food but if necessary I would have given up my firstborn.

    Always good! My favorite is the lamb masala, but the chicken one is really good too. I hope they can bring back the buffet so I can experience all their flavors.

    Just perfect.

    Home cooked like halal food prepared with full hygiene standards as I personally know the neatness of cook and owner. Their pakoras are so crispy, crunchy and tasty. Eat them with mint yogurt and you gonna love it. Their Lamb Masala Curry is so tasty cooked with proper heat and balanced level of spices. Overall a very nice, neat and clean place to dine in. The best part is that owner do catering services too so I can always rely on them when I have some party at home. Things get so easy in my kitchen.

    I’m sure this place is good but who opens from 11am to 3pm weekdays only and closed all weekend? Thats just bad business. Lol.

    Great food and waiting for 5 mins with a fresh hot tea I was not disappointed and will be back tomorrow for more , price was on point

    This place is awesome! If you like to eat plant based this is one of the few places I think you'll find around here that offers you that. Get yourself some hardy Indian homecook'n. For a little less than $10 you can fill yourself up with a well stocked little buffet.

    I LOVE this place and have been coming here since she opened. The food is consistently delicious and plentiful! I come here as often as possible and bring all my friends. Try this place and I bet you'll love it.
