Been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally got takeout tonight! Ordered it for pick up and it was ready quickly and in the time frame I was given. The hostess was pleasant when I arrived and helped me get my order and made sure I had everything in my order before I left. The restaurant was nice inside, clean, well kept, good vibes and nice people! When I got the meal home I was quite satisfied, everything was hot and delicious, nicely seasoned, not overly spiced or salted - a good balance in all of the items I ordered. I got the garlic tandoori naan, which was soft and delicious, the chicken curry which was extremely tasty and the chicken was tender and so so yummy. We also got the beef shish kebab and it was moist and very very tasty. Lastly we got the biryani rice which was nicely spicy (not too much , just a good balance) and delicious. Also got two mango lassi which were great. Will definitely be back so happy it’s in the neighborhood and my only regret is that I haven’t tried this spot sooner! 😊

We ordered takeout from here for a chicken Hanso and a paneer karahi. Other than the protein there was no difference in both the curries. In the same curry base they made both the orders. Very disappointed with the taste too and expensive too. The quantity they gave for the price was not justified.

The only place in the valley for some decent Pakistani food. Nothing extraordinary but much better than any other place in the valley.

I recently visited this restaurant and took takeout, and I’d give it a solid 3 stars, maybe nudging toward 4 on a good day. The indoor seating arrangements caught my eye—spacious, well-organized, and inviting, with a clean and welcoming atmosphere. They serve a variety of dishes, but they’re particularly known for their kabobs, which seem to be a crowd favorite.

For my takeout order, I tried the beef biriyani and chicken biriyani. Honestly, they were Okay but not the best biriyani I’ve had in Phoenix. Both lacked the bold flavors I was hoping for, and the beef biriyani, in particular, felt a bit dry. On a brighter note, the mango lassi was good—refreshing and well-balanced, it was a great addition to the meal.

the parking situation; the lot is limited, which could be a hassle during peak hours. Overall, it’s a solid spot for a one-time visit, especially if you’re curious about their kabobs or want to enjoy their pleasant indoor vibe. I’d recommend giving it a try but don’t expect the biriyani to blow you away. They do have a buffet which is 29.99 per person (Only Sundays I believe)

Loved it. Everyone inside is super friendly , really lends to that family owned atmosphere. Food was delicious, so much flavour. I was staring down everyone's food coming out saying, oh I wanna try that, and that! Will definitely be back.

Have lived nearby for about 6 years and have always wanted to try this place and just never got around to it until today! I was very satisfied with everything I tried. Went on a Sunday afternoon to try their buffet. I really enjoyed everything I tried from the chicken to the beef and I loved the rice I had to go and get more. Definitely worth a try!!!
