“Great Pakistani Restaurant. They serve good halwa puri here.“

“Based on the taste it's not recommended otherwise the location, Customer service and ambiance is good!!!“

“Shadman is an amazing spot in downtown jersey city. It’s the best spot ever. As an Indian, I never taste or get provided food dishes which are so clean and well prepped. I have been their customer for 6 years now and the food and its quality is still the same. I have tried all the fancy Indian spots and what not but this place is so clean and the food hits the spot every time without a doubt . Thank you to their team for doing a great job. I highly recommend them.“

“The best samosa“

“THE BEST STORE IN JERSEY CITY WHEN IT COMES TO RESPECT . Theirs a woman in their that is the heart beat of the store she's so sweet and patient , makes my day to just see her when I'm coming to and from work, that pizza is thick and perfect for a drunk night out or if you want something to filling . but the Vegetable Samosa and the fruits and Vegetables are why I go , best prices in town too! 7 dollar pizza pies and 150 samosas I'm getting hungrier the more that I type . DON'T GO TO FRANKS NEXT DOOR , You won't get the respect and better prices this place easily offers. and they HAVE THEIR OWN PARKING LOT.“

“I love Lasani restaurant. Their prices are very reasonable and so when my husband and I are looking to eat out but not fancy it’s our go-to spot. Food is delicious, veg and non veg options, fast service. I like the environment, casual dining. Open late, too! Lasani is one of my favorite restaurants in Jersey City. When I want to eat out in a casual way, this is my spot. Highly recommend the roti!

Vegetarian options: I love the Chana, sometimes they have different veggies like cauliflower, spinach, depends on the day. Their roti is vegan and it’s soooo soft and good.

Parking: Easy to park“

“So I just had iftaar with their tikka paratha roll that I had got last Sunday evening. It just tasted so good even though I ate it cold straight from the fridge. 😊 It didn't taste as good when I had ordered it on site. Then, without me even asking for anything, they remade it and gave it to me to take it home with me even though I had told them I was full. 😊😊 The largest portions I have ever seen anywhere, good food, clean, best interior and decor, excellent service. I have yet to see a BETTER or even equally nice place in NYC. 🤍 Jo baat hay. Food makes/breaks the mood.“

“I was wildly impressed by how much flavor was into these paratha wraps! I got the spicy chicken mayo and was honestly shook by howwww good it was. The chicken was super juicy, too. It’s totally self-service, which is fine, though I’m not the biggest fan of how technology is taking over everything. The only other downside was the dubstep blasting in the background, not exactly what I want to listen to while eating, lol. But besides that, the food was gooooood!“

“very good food after a long time...amazing experience“

“Sadiya was amazing thankyou so much for the amzing service and delghtful food“

“It is exactly as it presents itself..for $10, the Thali with 2 rotis freshly made is a steal in this economy. The host was an older Punjabi gentleman and he treated me as a guest. Told me to sit down and eat well. He did not rush me. He showed true hospitality. The thali was delicious and piping hot fresh vegetarian food. I highly recommend this spot. There is a smaller dine-in area. I went during a time it was not too busy, so may work more as take out during peak times.“

“Is a nice environment an good food“

“very good food after a long time...amazing experience“

“In general.. I’m giving this place a 4 star review.
I’d even go above and beyond giving this place
a 4. 5 of 5 stars mainly because the service from the start felt very much personalized and Catered to optimize my very first experience here. After taking my order the cashier kept asking if I needed any more assistance and even went as far as guiding me through the the entire menu. The environment was calm, peaceful and pretty quiet if you’re alone. Great place to binge watch your fave series and they even take EBT !

I had the smoothie (honeydew, vanilla and brown sugar) and the chicken sandwich combo with a side of Large fries of course! In my opinion the 2 things that fell flat for me were the fries and the fountain soda.. the soda just tasted like it was missing some kind of syrup she was kind enough to switch it out for me but it still tasted weird. And as for the fries they just kinda tasted like the frozen ones you by at the store but with a little flavor of frost bite so if you go ask for it very - WELL DONE .

The combo comes with a fountain soda, but I actually ended up ordering a smoothie thinking that I was going to get a shake, but I mistake it for the smoothie for a shake so I just went with it and it ended up coming out great! Ugh I’m so happy I made the choice to come here after my Long Beach day. I will be returning back very soon!!“

“Delicious food on many occasions. Had a recent issue with a pani purri order and they immediately replaced it. Very kind and curteous and excellent customer service. The atmosphere is a great balance between culture and inclusive of millenials whereas other pakistani places are more boomer friendly, this place seems like what the younger pakistani generations craved in Brooklyn.“

“Amazing service and even more amazing food. Came in during lunch rush and I waited no more than 10 min for a box of FRESHLY made chicken. Saw someone say to try the blueberry biscuit and it is a MUST TRY! Pairs really well with the chicken. Overall I’m very satisfied and would definitely come back.“

“Their food is the best authentic food in the area they open 24/7 and still serv the best and fresh food. They make naan and roti same time. It is my way to go if I didn't cook at home and the only restaurant I trust for my family. They have chicken, beef, fish, goat, biryani and shush cabab, they also have a big variety of sweets and chai.“

“New York City nice evening“

“Great service, samosas are fresh and tasty. I love their chat corner, and samosa chat was so good. The lamb curry was perfect spiced. Every one was helpful, and no disrespect for anyone.

Vegetarian options: Chat corner and vegi dishes

Wheelchair accessibility: No step to climb.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Pakiza Restaurant. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Every dish had authentic taste and great presentation. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Service was fast, the restaurant was clean, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious food and excellent customer service. I will definitely visit again!“

“Update: eventhough some of the prices have gone up they still serve delicious Hispanic food. And they still try to offer affordable prices on certain deals/food.

Good homemade Hispanic food. Beef stew with rice and beans are very flavorful. They also have pizza and Indian food“

“These street carts were peppered all over NYC. Am unsure why certain carts have longer queues than the rest even though they were all from the same franchise. Nothing much to comment on the taste. I didn't like the mess on the plate which was heavily slathered in white sauce. Reasonably priced. Portions are huge.“

“This is my second time here. I try to go eat here whenever my wife and I visit my niece in NYC. My wife wasn’t sure what to order as she is not too familiar with our Pakistani dishes. The gentlemen behind the counter picked up on it and let her sample at least 3 different items. She was almost full after just samples…. lol.
Great food, friendly and generous staff. Will definitely go again on our next visit.“

“The meals here come with a guarantee of satisfaction. I experienced culinary bliss at . The people serving us were efficient and got everything right. This spot succeeds through personalized service. Excellent cooking with the perfect atmosphere...“

“I tried the cake pastry here, and it was incredible! The cake was amazingly soft and moist, and the cream was perfectly balanced—rich and flavor-packed without being overly sweet. Every single bite felt like a melt-in-your-mouth treat. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into their baking.
If you are thinking about stopping by, do not hesitate—get yourself one (or three)! I will definitely be back for more.“

“One of the hidden gems in the area. Affordable prices, good portions, and tasty. It's surprising people would rather go two blocks up to Istanbul for inferior prices, but give this place a try instead. It's a bit run down, but for prices like this, as long as I don't get food poisoning, I'm good.“

“Went there yesterday almost after a decade.In the crwod of lot of new restaurants forgot to try the old one and might be experience was not that good at last time but this time we had unexpectedly good experience.We had papri chaat,chicken shami kabab,laddu and jalebi.Food was fresh,tasty and authentic.“

“We had the nicest experience here ! We were just exploring the neighborhood ,came across this spot and decided to try some authentic Pakistani food! Everyone there were super nice ,friendly and very welcoming.We got so many things to taste and brought a few to take home for everyone in our family! Bread is soo delicious and soo fresh that I literally started to nibble on it the minute we came out the restaurant!“

“Authentic taste. Ultra fair pricing. Awesome smiles. Open till 3 at nights, Curry King is a legend in the neighborhood. So many hundreds of regulars that they are a community in themselves. Some even got married after meeting here for the first time.“

“I love this place, food is so good, I like seekh kabab, my wife she likes Pakoda kadhi, their aloo paratha, goat karahi, chicken karahi is so good, what i like is that they make fresh kabab as you order, not pre cooked kababs. and those two girls working there I don't know their names are so efficient, always smiling and very attentive. Thank you guys for being awesome.“

“Yummy total Trini flavors and lots of it in your serving!! Fresh delicious food that never ever disappoints!! Friendly very busy staff who, thank goodness, never seem to rush you or dismiss you, in-spite of the line of other patrons waiting to be attended to. The shrimp wontons “taste like home” is all I can say!! Zero ambiance to speak of; you can eat in but there is not enough lighting, and sorry, it is not an inviting dine-in space.“

“Food is so delicious 😋 nice atmosphere and great service as well as smart behavior with the customers. It’s a good experience for me.“
