Shahi Nihari and Chopsticks provides an exceptional buffet experience, offering delicious and wholesome food at an affordable price. The buffet features a wide variety of dishes, including desi and Chinese cuisine, focusing on quality and freshness. Meat dishes are plentiful, and popular items like nihari, biriyani, and kabobs are consistently refilled. The buffet also includes standard beverages and cans of soda. While the customer service may have room for improvement, the overall experience is satisfying and well worth the price. The restaurant's Iftar buffet is particularly impressive, with a surprising selection of fresh and flavorful dishes, including goat biryani, grilled items, and Chinese options.
Recently, customers have praised the amazing BBQ platter and the good nihari, noting that the owner sometimes brings pani puri from the house. However, some reviews mention that while Pakistani dishes like kadai were good, Indian dishes did not meet expectations. The Chinese food is described as average. The restaurant has a wide variety of menu options, making it a suitable place for big groups and parties. The atmosphere is pleasant even during peak hours, and the staff is friendly. However, the restaurant may need to address parking availability and accessibility issues, as some entrances are not fully wheelchair accessible. With its top-notch food and personable service, Shahi Nihari and Chopsticks remains a recommended destination for a delightful dining experience.
