I’ve been here three times so far, and each time, the food exceeds my expectations. The owners, which are sisters, are super sweet and kind, and have done a fabulous job with running the place as well as making the delicious food and drinks. I’ve tried the chicken salad croissant (my go to) and I always give it a 9/10 due to the phenomenal taste of the chicken salad and how soft and crunchy the croissant is. The truffle Mac and cheese is also super good (9/10) with how the creaminess of the cheese pairs so well with the truffle oil added to the dish. None of the food is overwhelmingly heavy, so it’s perfect to enjoy as a side or as a main dish. This place is quite a drive from my work and from my house, but I come as often as I can to support this wonderful business. Highly recommend 10/10.

Stumbled upon this restaurant when we were in the area - Cute little place with amazing food! Family-run and the food feels like home. Desi restaurants can sometimes go crazy in terms of spice but the food here was very balanced. Even our 4 year old enjoyed their Shami kebabs!! We tired their Nihari, Halwa Puri, aloo paratha and kebabs. The portion sizes are good, and very reasonably priced! Must recommend!

Amazing experience!!! Went there for evening snacks and loved all the items we tried. Their milkshake reminded me of local milkshakes in Pakistan 😍the nachos were to die for!!! It's a small family business and their kids kept our kids company (such a relief).
We ordered Cheese steak panini, chicken sliders l, and chicken nachos and each one of them excelled from presentation to taste 😋 I'll be visiting them again especially for snacks !!!

Will start talking about the location which is excellent and the size of this restaurant is really small with a capacity of only 16. When you enter the restaurant you find it really impressive with a simple decoration. Had buffet for ifthar dry items were good, main dish can be improvised on taste.
Rest everything was up to the mark.

Zephyr and Shai is such a gem! Every dish is packed with flavor and has this comforting, almost homestyle feel that makes you want to savor every bite. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal. And the owner? Just an amazing guy who makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. The hospitality here is top-notch. Can’t wait to come back!

Hands down the best halal breakfast/brunch in town! I’ve been told that they prepare everything from scratch and it shows - every item tasted fresh and home made. Highly recommend!

This resteraunt sucked. While the resteraunt was cute and service wasn’t that bad, it felt more I was going over to someone’s house for food-except I had to pay-as it felt so casual, and the food was extremely sub par. The Mac n cheese was literally just kraft dinner, the butter chicken had zero flavor, and the nihari was very basic too. If this is the type of food they serve at restraints, I could open one up myself. Don’t waste your time and money here

Had a great time, with my wife and family.
Would definitely recommend others to try.
I'll definitely be going back.
Definitely try the sliders, paninis and karahi was the best.
