We ordered chicken shinwari malai boti, pasta, and ended with chai. Everything was good and worth the money, except for the sweet paan—we discovered mold on it, indicating it was far too old. When we complained, the cashier simply stated that they don’t make it there, though he should have removed or replaced the entire batch at the front, which I doubt he did. I was not satisfied with his response. They need to check their products more thoroughly; otherwise, it was not a bad experience overall.

Our Muslim brother increased food prices to $31 per person on Eid day. These are true Muslims 😄. And good thing is they are not charging you service fee😏

Had the chicken Briyani. It's just pure bad.never ever. Wanted to give new local place try. They put the worst part of chicken (barely any meat) in the briyani. sure it was buy one get one free. but you are still paying 18+ bucks for it. might as well get just one with good taste and chicken meat not just bones. spice life & chennai hoppers r way way better. really wish didnt have to drive to gaithersburg get some briyani but what a let down on food & taste quality here. hard pass.

The Biryani large tray I ordered barely had any chicken. This is the second time this has happened.

Ingredients were fresh, and dish was flavorful. The chutney and mint lemonade were very good.

My daughter ordered a extra spicy goat buryani on 01/10/25 and it came too salty.
When she told me I tasted and I couldn't even taste it because it was too salty. When she called the restaurant they said that "you asked for extra spicy and our chef add more masala"
What the heck?? She asked extra spicy not extra salty. Anyway chef should have more common sense to make the food eatable. we are not buying anymore from this place.
Thank you.
Food tastes were like their chefs don't know how to cook . I waste my money and time everything so I don't suggest you go there .
Great place to eat, food is delicious and customer service is exceptional!
I usually eat there once a week!
My favorite Pakistani food restaurant!

Dear Management,
I've been a consistent customer since you opened and I frequently ordered from the previous establishment since 2018. You may know me as the uber eats order. When you read my review, please know I def want to see you succeed and thrive iA.
I've tried the following items multiple times: both of yours soups, chapli kebab, nehari, chicken shinwari karahi, daal makhni, chicken biryani, daal tadka, chicken pasta, chili chicken, chicken and rice platter, chicken manchurian, chicken nuggets, and the anda wala burger, gajar ka halwa, chicken honey burger, chicken spicy or buffalo burger, kadhai pakora and gulab jamun. I've even been to your ramadan buffet.
When you first opened I was so excited and thrilled. Your food was flavorful, authentic, the orders were consistent, and it was just delicious every-time. Then you changed and expanded your menu. You added burgers, platters, tacos, pasta, etc. This is where I as a frequent customer believe things started declining. I trued some of the new items and they were amazing. They had the right texture, the right flavor profile. If on occasion an order tasted bad, I let it go because 90% of the time you
delivered scrumptious tasteful food and were a lifesaver for me. When I was sick and couldn't cook dinner, I trusted you to deliver great tasting foods Alhamdulilah.
However, lately this is not the case. True I ordered Nehari a week ago and it was perfect. I ordered DAal makhni and it is a great blend of spices in masoor daal like in every lahori household, but dude its not daal makhni. I really wanted hot & sour soup today and what I got instead was a brown bowl of corn starch and some vegetables. The chaat was just papri, a few aloo, and onions and tomatos. No chickpeas. It used to be real chaat papri like on the streets of lahore and today it was lackluster. As you continue to decimate your standards and consistency you will lose me as a customer and many others. I have stopped ordering a lot of my favorite things like chicken pasta, chicken karahi because I have received old tasting chicken or it was mostly tomato paste and not a real karahi. The chicken pasta is now very oily and not alfredo goodness and last time I got like 5 pieces of small boti in the whole takeaway container. I stopped ordering the pakora curry too. The chicken nuggets with fries were soggy and not crispy, so not worth ordering anymore. The nehari I got a few weeks ago I had to fix by further slow cooking the meat and it had too many fat filled pieces. I appreciate the Nehari from saturday before christmas being good, I had guests so thanks for saving my night. Its now a flip of the coin whether I'll get subpar food or high quality meal.
These are just some of the faults and mishaps. Please go back to your original chef. Please hire better people and show up at your own place of business to do some quality control to build consistency back.
I would love to bring every out of town visitor and dine in. Your dining area is well decorated and homey. Love the table and chairs. However we prefer to order and pick up because we really can only trust getting good nehari and naan and nothing else now and it hurts our hearts. How do feel your customers thinking of you as "A hit or miss" ? I had not felt this until a friend said it and I ordered 3 times since and yes now I agree too. You can check my order history on uber eats, its a lot less.
