“This restaurant food is much more better than other Pakistani Indian restaurants all around the US. Chicken biryani & seekh kabob was so delicious authentic Pakistani flavor specially the Tea which is so so so good like Pakistani famous Pathan’s tea and we never had an experience before this in US. The best thing is they make in front of us so the quality of the food is so fresh and yummy like your own kitchen.“

“The Chicken Achar and Egg curry were authentic in their flavor. The Onion naan was soft and fluffy oozing freshness and flavor. We were amazed by the quality of food, given how often we get disappointed choosing an Indian restaurant based on reviews. Not a quiet place to enjoy your food but when the food is so good, everything else fades away.“

“There are a few halal restaurants in SF. I guessed a Pakistani Karahi restaurant would be better compared to a Turkish one, so I headed there and saw that it was really great. After eating the goat biryani, which had a good taste, Alhamdulillah, I noticed the price was slightly higher than in New York. Tea is free of cost.☺“

“I got Karahi Gosht and it was authentic and flavorful. Serving quantity was decent as well. I live in the South Bay and most places over there don't get this dish right. 5* from me, for the Karahi Gosht and Naan. Service understandably took some time because they make it fresh and piping hot. And I went there in between performances of standup comedy at Cobb's next door.“

“June 2026:
Had a wonderful dinner here. Saw this reviewed on Check Please and was eager to try it out.

Started with the pani puri shots. Was very tasty.

For mains, ordered the palak paneer, daal tadka, green lantern chicken, rice and naan. Everything was very tasty.

I'd order all those dishes again 😋. Service was fine. Would definitely come back again for more delicious Indian food.“
