Visited on a Sunday at 5 pm, there was not a soul in the restaurant. Asked the owner if they prepared the food fresh. He responded with a snide sarcasm that it was a week old and proceeded to tell my wife condescendingly to talk some sense into me. Anyways, my wife ordered Chicken karahi, biryanis and chicken tikka. When the chicken karahi came, the masala had an inedible amount of salt plus the chicken pieces were dark and chewy and were older than a few days. I took it up to Manzoor and asked him in a straight tone if the chicken was fresh. He again responded with a sarcastic tone of voice that it was a couple of months old. I knew what he was doing so told him that I would contact the county health clinic to report and started taking pictures of the county certificates hanging next to the counter. Manzoor immediately changed his tone and offered to refund the food. We took the refund and left. AVOID like a plague.

Food is good. Service can be slow but when we asked them to rush our order the second time, they did.

I ordered a boneless chicken and beef kabob. However the beef was overcooked and mushy. In addition to that my CHICKEN LEG and THIGHS were burnt. I definitely will not be back!

It is 6:20 pm now and as I entered the restaurant, the guy at the front desk tells me that they are closed. However their timing on Google says the restaurant closes at 8:00pm. This is when I planned my dinner for today with my family.This happened to me the 2nd time. I came here with my family. These guys don’t seem to be professional. On top of this, I didn’t find the guy at front desk a professional restaurant guy. I am sorry to say this.

They are self proclaimed “famous.” Very slow service and average tasting food.

This place is a delight and the food was fantastic with great portions and affordable prices. We got lucky as we visited on a slow afternoon and hence there was not a lot of waiting. They also served complimentary fries and springs rolls before the food was served. The owner was very friendly. It was a delightful experience and I hope to be back again in the future. Thank you for having us!

Loved the place. Owner operated. Great service. The owner actually served rice pudding (kheer) on the house.

Kabob, Tikka, and karahi were the best.

Meat was good, salad was at least a few days old.. ridiculous! Will not eat there again!

Absolutely delicious.I am Saudi and the restaurant reminded me of restaurants in Saudi Arabia. Any student who longs for Saudi restaurants should go and get chicken pieces with rice ???

The food is simply amazing. The smell as soon as you get in is mouthwatering. The atmosphere is also really amazing, and the place is very big and spacious. This restaurant really deserves more attention and love.

The chicken and shish kebab wraps are extremely delicious, though I preferred the chicken for it's better flavor, and the price isn't too expensive, just at $11. They are also quite filling.
The wait times for the wraps are quite reasonable, and we just waited ~15m for the food to be freshly made.
I can't get enough of that fresh, soft, and smokey chicken, and the soft and chewy charred naan. You can see them make your whole order right in front of you! Watching the process of them rolling the dough and cooking the naan on that metal pan (saaj?) is very interesting and exciting. The heat level of the spicy wraps is just perfect, and the fresh jalapenos really go well with the wrap. The white sauce is also really good.
Only complaint I have are that the ice machine doesn't work, that there isn't hot water in the bathrooms, and that the sauce that came on the side was frozen and lacking in flavor. Those aspects could be improved, but the food alone is worth it!
