This time, we ordered Channa Daal lentils, which were surprisingly good. I'm not usually a fan of lentils, but these were excellent. Our vegetarian friend, who can’t handle spice, couldn’t stop eating them! LOL. The Bhindi Masala (okra) was also decent, and I usually don’t care for okra, but my vegetarian friend wasn’t a fan of it. The Goat Korma was a hit with my husband, but since I'm not a goat lover, I skipped it. The Shrimp Biryani was delicious! I've tried biryani from many Indian and Pakistani restaurants, as well as a Nepali restaurant, and this is the best I've had! I will definitely be back for more biryani! We ordered Garlic and Onion Naan. Garlic is our go-to, so we had never tr...

We were on the hunt for authentic Pakistani cuisine (which is quite distinct from Indian food) in the area, and this place exceeded our expectations. It's some of the best Pakistani food I've experienced outside of Pakistan. The Tawa Chicken was expertly seasoned and cooked to perfection; honestly, it's some of the most well-prepared chicken breast I've ever had at a restaurant. The Beef Tawa Qeema was incredibly flavorful and lacked the usual odor that beef can sometimes have. It was clearly made fresh, and it made a noticeable difference. The mixed grill was also good, with the Bihari Kabab being both spicy and remarkably tender. The chicken biryani was the finest I've had in the United St...

--- **Dine-In Experience: Lunch** **Food Rating: 4/5** The food was quite enjoyable, with well-prepared dishes that satisfied our cravings. **Service Rating: 4/5** The service was attentive and friendly, making the dining experience pleasant. **Atmosphere Rating: 3/5** The ambiance was decent, though it lacked a bit of charm to elevate the experience further. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch outing!

I'm giving this restaurant a 3-star rating primarily because I ordered the tikka masala, which arrived with only 5 small pieces of chicken. While it was delicious, I don't think paying $15 for such a small portion is justified. On the other hand, the vegetable biryani was excellent. I will consider ordering from here again, but I won’t choose the chicken masala next time. Service: Takeout Food: 5 Book a table now

I was recommended by one of colleagues. I visited that place bought chicken biriyani, taste was good n nice. Menu choosing method I didn’t like. I think it’s better to get paper menu rather than scanning. But the person who served me was helpful. I recommend people to visit and taste their food. Service: Take out Meal type: Lunch

I recently relocated to the area and was in search of delicious food. I could go into great detail, but I’ll keep it simple: the food was outstanding. This has become my new favorite halal restaurant, and it's definitely a must-visit for anyone in the area. Book a table now
