Please do not go here if you are vegetarian. We found big pieces of chicken in our vegetarian biryani. Seems they use the same rice base and mix stuff into it. It's disappointing to see Indian restaurants do this. The food was also very tasteless. Would not recommend to a single soul. Waste of time and money.

Food was good, maybe not the best Parkistani food in the world, but I can not complain about it.What annoyed me a bit was that plastic dishware, plastic cup and paper plate. This should not be in 2022! Besides that: We ordered 3 vegetarian dishes, but they gave us 2 vegetarian one and one with chicken. After we asked they gave us was we ordered.Overall a decent restaurant.

The food is delicious I recommend going here,I did order to go and was done right away . The owners are very sweet it was a joy talking to them, I do like the atmosphere and it is very clean and nicely decorated. They have many options on the menu that I liked to see and they can prepare some foods mild or very spicy. I will be coming back again!

5/5 Very much recommend! I ordered the Beef Nihari with 2 paratha and sweet lassi it was perfect flavor! Nicely spiced and just enough heat and beef was tender! Even had toppings of ginger, fresh chilies, and onions. Staff was very warm and respectful! Can't wait to try their Paye and Chicken Seekh kabobs! Good work!

Service was great and the food was ready at the time we requested. Most places have flimsy take out containers for Nihari and haleem but this place’s containers held up relatively well. Everyone loved the food we got, and we’ll be ordering again. The only thing was the lamb karahi was too spicy (for me) and a bit game-y, but if you like that then you’ll love it.

I come here for the Sunday Buffet. Its really good. Food has a nice amount of spice and 20 bucks for the selection and quality is really good. I really like their Chicken Tikka, Nihari, and their Chicken Quorma (stand out dish) when those are out(most of the time). The Channa Masala and Biriyani(usually chicken) are quite good. The bread is usually Poori and Naan. Its maybe the best buffet in the valley. Youll need to order chai (its not in a large thermos) and that takes about 10-15 minutes to make fresh. Id say I wouldnt mind consistently premade ones in a thermos as other places do. I havent been here to order al-a-carte yet, so Im looking to try their Tikka Masala and Chicken Charga. If you live in Noho, Van Nuys, and Burbank area its worth it to drive on the 170/5 for 10 minutes and have a filling sunday lunch.

We were visiting from out of town and stopped in after a day out. The food was excellent, we had the daal and chicken karai which was cooked brilliantly not too oily and obviously fresh. The man working was very kind and made sure we were all set even though we stopped in about 30-40 minutes before they closed.It was so good that we decided to come back for the breakfast buffet on saturday and again were treated to a brilliant meal. Its hard to find really good halwa puri and they have it. Chicken tikka as well as palak paneer were my personal favorites, my family really enjoyed the nihari, biryani, and paya.I would highly recommend stopping by if you're in the mood for south Asian cuisine, it was great!

Visited this AWESOME Indian restaurant for the first time today, and this is my first restaurant review.I usually drive as far as Garden Grove on Sunday’s to have Indian buffet (their buffet is only available on Friday’s or Sunday’s) and a spot in Northridge on non-buffet days. Once I am satisfied, I rarely try new places and I almost passed up on this gem. If you love spicy Indian food, with just the right amount of spices (to not burp into the following week), they have a satisfying variety that will not leave you disappointed. If you do not have time to sit down and enjoy their buffet, or you want to have something specific, you can order individual items off their menu. If you are extremely sensitive to MSG as I am, this place is definitely for you.Please do not judge them by the furniture. It is clean, that’s what matters. My buddy paid the biggest compliment, this restaurant has the cleanest restroom he has ever been in. They say a clean restroom means a clean kitchen. They use paper plates and bowls with packaged utensils, which is perfect for our Covid environment. The staff is polite, friendly and professional.Let’s support this local “gem” by supporting their small business. It is worthwhile and worth every penny!!!

This place was worth our long drive. Had such a lovely Nihaari trust me.. to find such taste in States is as surprising as the food was.. my son liked their chops and wife liked both dishes .. sirf naam suna tha .. khaa kar yaqeen hua .. mr haidar the ownrr from karachi as well.. doing a great job..

Order a couple of things but overall it was okay..because it doesn't have lots of taste like other Pakistani Indian foods we have eaten.....but a good spot for quick chicken strips and seekh kabab rolls.

Everything was perfect. We ordered palak paneer, lamb karahi, and dum wali lamb biryani. The presentation for the lamb biryani in a clay pot was really cool but the flavor was what amazed us. The naan was clearly fresh and the spices for both the biryani and karahi were on point. The lassi was a great touch too especially if you have trouble with spice. Everything had a specials home-made touch and made us know that what we were having was authentic Karachi cusine.We were helped by Fatima who was extremely kind and explained a few things about the food.We'll 100% be coming back.
