    So after trying many Pakistani/Indian/Bengali restaurants I was finally able to find this Gold mine for Indian origin food. The food was fresh, and tasted just like home. The restaurant was very clean. The only downside was that It was very busy and you’d have to wait for the table. But totally worth it! Little expensive as compared to others but again it was worth every penny.

    I truly don't want to say anything negative about any business or anything associated with the noble and blessed holy city of Madina Munawwara. Just request the owners and management to focus a bit more on adding proper flavor to almost all of the dishes. Still, this place was extremely busy

    Probably some of the best Asian food you’re going to get close to the mosque. It’s very busy but their turn around is very fast.

    We were looking for nice food in medina and came across this place. The biryani was surprisingly good. The pizza was yummy. The appearance was beautiful. The guy who served us, Bilal was very respectful and professional. The service and food was outstanding. I would definitely recommend this place.

    Food is Ok, tried their both biryanis, nihari and kheer. Too much crowded. Actually went their for Dine In but considering the rush opted for take away. Take away also took half an hour. I think the place is overall mediocre. Prices are a bit high considering the the taste. They don't know how to make a chappati.

    I visited here twice, It’s a great experience. Amazing food, although prices are little high but, if you love Asian food you must visit here. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming but small.The place get crowded after Isha Prayer that's why you have to wait till a table get free. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and served your order on time. Specially, Mr Bilal was So polite and Humbled.He made our visit more delightful. We have Ordered Platter served with rice + 2chapati ( 9/10) Lehm karahi ( 7/10) Chicken biryani (8/10) Kheer (Not Recommend 2/10)

    The price is affordable, and taste like 9 of 10 to me. The herbs is pretty good and it smells really nice. And another thing, the server's name was Imam. He served well to us. Good job

  • 1/5 I AM MOBY G. 7 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    So v ordered a platter for me and the wife. Variety was literally 2 items each, food was dried,service slow, tasted below average no way UK spec, I see they try and copy the west, but u really need to investigate properly, food is Pre cooked, all they do is heat it up and serve, 2 out 10 for the effort of trying, misleading with images on menu and final product is different plus no prices on the menu which is also definitely misleading, Then after my order arrived was disappointed in the portion. When asked for extra salad in that size plate I was served with scraps. U can look at the image and judge 4ur self. So I wanna save u disappointment I'd say go spend u'r money els where, but if u wanna go thru the experience of being disappointed be my guest. Don't say I didn't warn u. Good luck ya'll 😝

    A clean dine-in restaurant located in Taiba Shopping Centre. I highly recommend the lamb karahi, chicken shashlik, chicken jalfrezi, vegetable fried rice, chai, and mango soft serve. A shout out to Bilal for his great customer service and for leading a great team!

  • 2/5 Omar C. 5 months ago on Google
    So the food is decent from the half platter and the burger. However, it wasn't anything great. It's just hype. MAIN ISSUES they don't take any card apart from Saudi MADA card. It's so annoying as this is not advertised anywhere. So u got told after you placed your order at the till. The menu they hand out has just pictures. Nothing else and not helpful. Lastly, it's very disorganised. You have to stand about the tables and creep up on someone who is about to leave. So grab a seat first, then order and remember cash. They also ask women to wait outside while you order, so how are you meant to be told what your wife or mum and sister want. It's just all over the place

    Excellent customer service from the one and only Sadiq. Food is delicious and we've been having take away almost every day however today is the first time we've dined in. When you see the length of queues you know the food is something special and absolutely worth the wait. The place is clean and there is a sink conveniently located in the centre to wash hands before and after. Its a true gem in Madinah.

  • 5/5 Shehryar S. 4 months ago on Google
    Deserves 5 star for the sole reason thay it is one of those rare restaurants that offer dedicated sitting place to eat within the hotel nearby Masjid Nabwi. The food is great and they have a lot of options to try from. We tried both mutton and chicken biryani, and chicken was far better. Chicken Karahi was also good, but the serving is only for a single person. Chicken pizza was also good. However, the downside is that in rush hours, you have to be prepared to wait to get a sitting place and also that the prices are little on the higher side, which is understandle, considering the location and service.

  • 5/5 Denissa P. 4 months ago on Google
    Finally we found somewhere to dine in! I ordered Chicken Manchurian, it didn’t taste like what i had in Chinese restaurant in London. BUT it’s okay i still enjoyed it👌🏼 The meal my husband had was also enjoyable and good quality for the price that we paid. We probably come back here again if we go back to Madinah in the future inshaAllah. Thank you for serving East Asian food!

  • 5/5 Nik M. 1 year ago on Google
    MashaaAllah.. excellent food. Ordered the Chicken karahi, Lamb biryani, Margarita pizza and Mojitos. Everything was 9 or 10/10. Esp the Chicken karahi. The lemonade mojito is excellent as well. Sevice is 10/10. JazakAllahu khayran, special thanks to our Bilal... service was one of the best we've had so far in Madinah. Lots of people... pro tip: get here asap after the congregational prayer as the tables fill up very quickly... we managed to get a table easily after Jumaah prayer ... but they were lots of people waiting for tables after that

    Superb and tidy place to have food around haram. Amazingly this place has 4.5+ rating compared to several others. It is really good to see that a Pakistani restaurant is Masha Allah doing so well. Kudos!!

    This is the best briyani place ever!! I highly recommend it. Service is top notch, hands up for Rashid for his spectacular job. I went to this place for 4 consecutive days eating the same chicken briyani. The mojito is also nice. Super Delicious meal! We even ordered takeaways to eat at Masjid An Nabawi & Jeddah airport. I am for sure going to miss this place and I will come again If I'm coming back to Medina again. in sha Allah. barakAllahufikum!

  • 5/5 Ebrahim A. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is excellent, however takes awhile for food to arrive. Have to have patience. Must be quick for a table and ordering after salah, otherwise long queues outside. They need to expand....or add a franchise, should do well.
