    One of the best experience I had in a while at a restaurant. Amazing food and service. The buffet includes around 6 different dishes: sides, meat, rice, salads, they also offer a vegan and vegetarian choice. The food is very tasty and fresh, also the fact that you can eat as much as you can gives you the chance to try all the dishes. The owner is a very kind person, he also offers free water which is pretty rare at a restaurant. The fact that you can pay as much as you want makes the whole experience an unique one. The restaurant offers inside and outside seating.

    An amazing restaurant and center of Pakistani and Indian delicious food. First time I had experience of such a restaurant where they ask you to pay according to your own capacity. They offer only Buffett system and no need of order, just go and take what you want to eat. Highly recommended and try whenever you have chance to Vienna.

    Best restaurant in Vienna if we take into account the kindness of the staff, the quality of the food and the price (this one is up to you). I don’t know how much pay the average diner, but I think is fair to pay between 10-20€ because it is real Pakistan food such as: chickpeas, lentils, chicken, mango dessert, … Especial mention to the pumpkin that was specially tasty.

    Nice concept by a Pakistani resturant where you pay whatever you feel like. Buffet style food is served here. The food quality is good, however the food is a little cold.

    Great spot. It's a place where you eat as much as you like and pay what you can. Every city needs a place like this. Full of young folks, students, families. It's very relaxed, not a huge amount of space but enough where you should always be able to find a seat. The food was ok, nothing so special but definitely good enough. All in all a valuable community resource.

    We (two adult males) paid 16 euros for the food we had from here. I was satisfied. Most of the items were really tasty and I really loved the Halwa (dessert). The guys who ran the place didn't seem super friendly but the "pay-as-you-wish" system is really nice!

    With a Pakistani restaurant, we were expecting the usual good traditional food. But it turned out to be a pay-as-you-wish basic and simple buffét with very low standard food. It's more like a "dhaba" (roadside café, or food truck). But yeah, you get to pay as you like. The staff was nice and friendly, except the lady who works at the basement. She really need to get a crash course on customer dealing. Replacement would be better. They also have signs of one (very bad) political party in Pakistan. It must be removed as it portrays a very negative image of the country. The owners and staff must keep their political influences to themselves.

    The food is not bad, and the price is 'pay what you want'. We paid €10 per person. There are mainly students who eat here. The buffet is small. The workers are welcoming and friendly.

  • 5/5 Jelilat K. 1 year ago on Google • 112 reviews
    I must say first of all that this is a restaurant that is constantly teeming with people…and for a good reason. The food is good! The incentive is fantastic! Now let’s get to it. True to their tagline…”good food good mood”, the feeling of eating all you can while getting to pay what you can when you check out is just…superb! And because customers are bound to feel happy when they eat good food and will pay handsomely, it is not surprising that the quality of the food is such that bowls are constantly getting refilled. If you don’t mind bumping into other customers every now and then while you’re trying to fill your plates, this all-you-can-eat restaurant that also serves halal by the way, is your go-to if you need good quality food that will guarantee you a good mood afterwards.:)

    It was a very small selection of food, but what was there was fantastic! There was a dessert there when we went, that was like a rice pudding (may have been rice pudding), but it was very good!! This is a unique restaurant where there are no set prices - you pay what you can. Limited seating inside as well as outside, but I definitely recommend sitting outside as you can have any open air breeze to help cool you off. I gave the service 5 stars, because it is a buffet and you get your own food and drink - if your service sucks, you can only blame yourself!!

    One of my favourite places in Vienna! Heavenly all-you-can-eat Pakistani food and pay-as-much-as-you-want system. You just grab a plate 🍽️, load it with deliciousness and take a seat, there is complimentary water too! Please, try the spinach lamb 🐑, that one is truly to die for. You're craving seconds? Go and get it, no problem. At the end walk up to the counter and pay as much as you think the food was worth. If you pay with card, there is a minimum of 7 EUR I reckon. It is an extremely brave move from the owner relying on the generosity of the customers but it works! Unique place. I recommend it to anyone!

    Too good, delicious food, delicious dessert, everything fresh in a really nice cozy place, just lovely and with pay as you wish, it would be great from what I understood to pay around 5€ to keep it all going, those who cant is ok less probably and the others which can and really enjoy the food, feel free at any price because it is totally worth it!!

    It's a cheap, decent place for you to satisfy your stomach but not bankrupt yourself. I say it's decent, but the food is rather tasty. I like the beef and the spinach dishes the most. The coconut pudding is always a must for every visit. The place is rather small, but the customers seem to know how to navigate themselves. The people who run the place are very hospitable. My first time there, they insisted me eating first before paying. And it runs on some sort of a honor system too. You pay whatever you can. So you can save a lot of money if you eat there regularly. Only one time so far have I witnessed someone cheat. So I think most people around have high enough integrity not to take advantage of a near-charity place like this one. And that's good. We need to keep it around.

    While looking for places to eat around our hotel, we stumbled upon this place on our first night in Vienna. An amazing institution serving up delicious Pakistani food - help yourself to what you can enjoy and decide what to pay. The curries were so yummy. This place is definitely a must try experience on a visit to Vienna.

    Very friendly and helpful personnel. Food was simple but delicious! When I was there they had an all you can eat buffet with three vegan and to meat dishes. In addition, they served salad and a desert. When it came down to paying, I could choose the price. Very interesting concept!

    Very unique place. Authentic Pakistani food, it's so great to see it in Vienna! They have an all you can eat menu, and you pay whatever you'd like to. The guys working there were super nice and hospitable. Small place but outdoor seating is nice. It was busy with a lot of locals,

  • 4/5 Rafaela V. 3 months ago on Google • 16 reviews New
    The food is good but there is very little variety. The staff is Nice and the concept to pay what you want is different too. Very Nice atmosphere. We paid 10€ per person plus one beer 4€ pax. It was a different experience and I recommend it. The chicken was delicious. It would be nice if they have more dishes.

  • 5/5 Richard G. 9 months ago on Google
    I cannot express how very tasty all this was. I fell in love with their rice and chicken. They were so tender and i loved every single minute of it.

  • 4/5 Md Abdullah Al M. 7 months ago on Google
    The restaurant itself is a bit small but you will have some places to sit of course . The food selections are also limited but we really liked the items they have. Probably most interesting part is you pay as you wish. If you are looking for a buffet type lunch/dinner it will be a good choice. Only thing we didn’t like is the cleanliness otherwise it’s good to go

  • 4/5 super p. 5 months ago on Google
    Delicious food and very friendly staff! The concept of the restaurant is also amazing. If you are not sure what to pay they suggest some prices depending on what you had but you are always welcomed to pay what you want.

  • 2/5 Wamiq u. 2 years ago on Google
    Below standard food , very limited items taste is not upto the mark, went there with high hopes but left disappointed. Food is cold as well. And lady staff working there is super rude. My phone was out of charge and I asked her if she can help me charging my phone and she said , NO I CAN'T , BRING ... I was like that was not even a question. The restaurant don't even deserve a single star but I am giving 2 stars to chef and receptionist working there, they are humble and nice and love to talk

  • 5/5 Nishant S. 1 year ago on Google
    What a place. Eat as much as you want. The food is really tasty, fresh and regularly filled. Pay as much as you like. You can determine the price of the food and then you pay, no one asks you to pay the amount. Go there and experience.

  • 5/5 Lara N. 1 year ago on Google
    A restaurant with a special payment concept, eat and pay as much as you want. You are free to choose what price you want to pay for the food you eat. It’s a buffet, rice and different sorts traditional soup. I like the taste of food much, specially the spinach soup. Friendly stuff. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Julian F. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic experience here. Great, tasty food, congenial staff and very relaxed attitude towards everything. The beef curry was beautifully cooked and tender and the spinach paired well with it. Chicken curry was also quite nice, and generous in the chicken. The fact that this is all pay as you please is insane given the quality of the food, but I almost am put off by this payment method - I don't like the idea of these people getting ripped off. Would've taken some nicer photos but I was too busy savouring the delightful flavours.

  • 5/5 Arash P. 2 years ago on Google
    Pay as you wish :) Food has a constant quality, and you can take as much as you want, however the owner doesn't like the leftovers. I just hope owner smiled more like other staff there:)

  • 5/5 Sam W. 1 year ago on Google
    All you can eat, pay as you wish. Went to this place all the time when I'd first moved to Vienna and money was tight. Still love to come back for nostalgia and great curry. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a big meal on the cheap. Always has vegan options.

  • 5/5 Thomas R. 2 years ago on Google
    Pay what you want, pay how much you can. The all-you-can-eat buffet in an other ethic dimension. A must for our vienna visit.

  • 5/5 Muhammad Nabeel A. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Got recommended to me for when I go visit Vienna. The food was so delicious that I just had to get a second helping. The pay as you want method made me wonder how they are making any money with this. Me and my friends didn't want to be rude so we all paid 7€ per person. Here's hoping to visit again someday!
