The food is amazing - you can taste that it was made with great care! I am disappointed that they are no longer open to the public (?) Please open again, your eggplant bharta is unmatchable!!!

Excellent service and food. Both Nina and atif have put their heart and soul into this restaurant and that's quite reflective the moment you step in.Highly recommend the peshawri Chapli kebab.Look forward to dining here again.

Ordered lamb biriyani. Doesent taste like real byriani. 10 small pieces of oversalted meat and completely unsalted rice. Container is half empty so not alot of food for sure. Definitely a ripoff. Other indian places give way more meat and containers are full.

Fantastic and authentic food! Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. The chapli and shami kababs are real stand-outs, probably the best I’ve ever had. The decor creates the perfect environment and the service was very attentive + the owners are so kind, engaging, and lovely! Can’t wait to go back!

Truly a pleasant place to eat and smile. The owners are sweet and hardworking. Although the place is small and the hours are weird for a restaurant, it is worth to get in and taste the food. We also ordered some biryani which they gave us fresh on Sunday when the restaurant was closed. Forgot to take a picture before we finished it but nothing was left at the end.Really appreciated the effort put into customer service. Must Try.

delicious food.Both of the owner are chef.Nina and her husband (sorry forgot name)are wonderful hosts as well. love the food.will definitely go back again when on this side of the town. we were traveling from virto Cheshire and we came up on Google. Love it, will recommend to friends and family
I am so happy I discovered this spot. It is completely devoid of any commercial gimmicks a lot of Indian/Pakistani restaurants use in their recipes. It is SO FRESH. Classical recipes without any twists and turns, served exactly the way they’re supposed to be served.We ordered the chicken biryani. So sumptuous without being sticky. So spicy without throwing the entire spice rack into it. Aromatic and delicate. One of the best I’ve had - better than any in NYC or Philly by far. Better than many of the more commercial kitchens in Edison.Also, not to mention the absolutely outstanding chaapli kababs and lamb korma. The korma is how my grandma used to make it in Lucknow. You can tell it gathered a little more color in Pakistan.Lastly, I wish they would figure out how to open a franchise in Brooklyn. It is so required. But Nina does all her own cooking, so it’s a bit of a puzzle to solve, but I hope they find someone great to solve this with soon.Lots of best wishes to this duo!

Went here for dinner on recommendations of a friend. My group and I were not at all acquainted w/ Pakistani food and made our menu selections on a "well, this sounds good!" basis...we were not disappointed. Everything we had was good; some of our selections included the lamb korma, chicken handi, the tawa naan, and the beef kababs. The food was excellent w/ just amount of spice! The owners were both very friendly, and they were patient with us while we figured out the menu. Highly, highly recommend Nina's to anyone looking to try Pakistani cuisine or just looking for a good meal in general. The storefront is rather small so I'd recommend take-out for larger groups, but credit to both the owners for how well they make the space work.

Found this by chance and am so happy we did. Just left the place and the food was delicious, the decor charming and the owners/chefs are super nice. We got the potato samosa with a fresh tamarind chutney as a starter. Claude had the chicken shami kabab roti wrap and I had the eggplant bharta roti pocket. We finished it off with a desi lassi. We are smiling ear to ear after that delicious lunch! Highly recommend!
The best egg and steak i have ever had ????
