Niki's Halal Grill & Karahi offers amazing service and a welcoming atmosphere. Customers praise their lamb Karahi, chicken tandoori, chicken korma, chicken biryani, and Roghni naan. Despite the modest interior, it is considered one of the best Pakistani restaurants in Southern California. The Karahi chicken, grilled meats, and garlic naan combo is a must-try, with a hint of spice easily balanced by Mango lassi. The chicken tikka masala with basmati rice and garlic naan are also highly recommended, with each bite transporting you to India.
Niki's Halal Grill & Karahi serves authentic Pakistani and Indian food packed with flavor. The chicken karahi and biryani are must-tries, and the bread is delicious. The staff is friendly and sweet, with Husain the cook and Abdul receiving praise. Niki's has been a favorite for decades, with the Chicken Tikka and Shahi being excellent. The Chicken Karahi is the best in California, and the Chicken Tikka is juicy and flavorful. The naans and green chutney are also highly praised.
