This is a great spot to get a quick fix for north Indian and Pakistani cuisine without your wallet taking a hit. We've been here... a few times both for lunch and dinner. They serve in a traditional Indian/Pakistani way viz. not American styled entrees butrather in a large serve ware from where it can be shared amongst each other. We've had the following: Chicken Tikka leg: Wellmade and charred to perfection. They use a very specific brand of paprika to give the bright color. It is no food color for suresince it does not stick to your hand. The meat is soft and delicious. Goes very well with their chutney. Chicken boti kebab &malai kebab: Once again they're cooked and charred to perfection. The taste has been consistently good each time we've orderedthese. We particularly like the softness of the malai kebabs but cannot choose a favorite here. both are equally good Chickenbiriyani: Very good flavors. The flavor of the chicken is great and different from other chicken options they have. Thebiriyani's cut expertly so it has a good proportion of all the flavors. Goat biriyani: This is available only on weekends. Thegoat meat is soft and you can taste the marination. Good flavors. Point on both the biriyanis: We did feel it lacked a punch totake it to the next level. Chicken chilli gravy: This was a little bit too tangy for our liking. Aloo tiki chaat: Excellentchaat. Probably better than many of the dedicated chaat corners. We found the aloo tikki scanty on our first order so requestedan extra tikki the next time. Got it for an extra dollar. Delicious! Chicken samosa: Very good. Small in size but stuffed withgoodness. Butter chicken and tikka masala: The taste of the curries was ok. Fresh lime soda: Fresh. Refreshing. Soothing. Thetopping off with black salt gives it a unique kick. Goes well with everything on the menu. Must order. Ambience: Casual. Mosttables are for 4. Clean. Process: Pick a table and get the menu from the counter. When ready he Read more
This place is very clean, very welcoming. We went here on recommendations from family who tried their Vegetarian offerings... especially since we are all Vegetarians. We stopped by around 2 pm and the staff was very attentive and provided us with cleantrays when serving us. You have to order first and then they will give you a table number and you can seat wherever you findcozy. We ordered a few appetizers and they did not disappoint at all. We ordered Vegetable Samosas and Vegetable Manchurian.They served the Tamarind and Mint Chutneys which were kept refrigerated and totally tasted yummy. For main course we orderedChili Garlic Noodles. Paneer Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan. We enjoyed every bite of the amazing food served and finished off withsome Gulab Jamun and Pistachio Baklava. Oh we also got a meetha paan. The place is on point for value, taste and the offering offood. Definitely a top 5 favorite now. Read more
5 stars for Goat Biryani - most authentic and delicious biryani I have had. Oil quality used for cooking Biryani is not good -... afyer taste and smell is weird long after having Biryani, though blend of spices is great and apetizes very smoothly. 5 starsfor achari chicken gravy, 3 stars for naan - it was too thick, can be much better! Great food overall! Read more
Goat biryani is delicious, can be improved with some more meat in it. Carrot Halwa and baklava are decent, nothing great.

Update: the rush is huge on Fridays, and expect some wait times to get seated. But the food more than makes up for it. Tried the... chicken biryani which came with raita and green chutney- really delicious. Also had the lamb seekh kebab which was quite large.Wish they gave atleast two kebabs in one plate. The gaajar ka halwa was warm and the right level of sweet but there was acertain granularity to it which was different than what we usually eat. Overall good place for family dining. Servers are good,humble folks. Really loved their Goat Biryani, which was cooked Karachi style with bone marrow and a limited amount of spices.It’s not the typical spicy North Indian biryani style which most people expect to eat in desi restaurants here, and it wasrefreshing for me to try something slightly different. Also really liked the cumin raita that it came with. We also got theplain chicken curry which was nice. Just some pieces of chicken in a tomato, ginger garlic gravy and a few spices. They alsohave some really nice kulfi flavours. The place is halal and they offer complimentary chai. Service is really good. Read more
