“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.“

“best place in town with true authentic food and great service“

“Naan roti and kabab Great with great people best service“

“Shama Restaurant is a wonderful neighborhood spot that serves up rich, comforting, and authentic Pakistani and South Asian dishes. I visited for dinner and ordered a plate of tender chicken biryani along with freshly baked garlic naan and a side of savory chana masala, and every dish was packed with aromatic spices and deep flavor. The rice was perfectly fluffy, the chicken was juicy and spiced just right, and the hot naan was ideal for scooping up every bit of sauce. The dining space is casual, tidy, and offers a welcoming, family-friendly environment. The staff was polite, quick to answer questions about menu options, and served everything fresh and hot. It is a fantastic local choice for a satisfying, authentic, and flavorful meal.“

“We drove all the way from Connecticut to eat here. Awesome food. We love coming here. Fresh and serving size is big.“

“We had a really lovely evening. Our friends from New Zealand were staying with us & were delighted with the friendliness of the staff & the excellent food. We always enjoy ourselves & are looking forward to our next visit. See you soon!“

“What an amazing find!!! This unexpected discovery will become a regular stop. The taste quality is outstanding. The workers make each visit feel like coming home. The items I've tried were flavorful. I'll visit again and suggest others try this restaurant.“

“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.“

“I can't say enough about how good the food here is, especially for its prices. Great pasta, pasta sauces, heroes, pizza rolls, sandwiches, burgers. Good prices, awesome food. Their pasta easily beats out other places. I've eaten pasta in popular Manhattan places, and the pasta in those places are more expensive and Tony's does much better. Places whose pasta sauce matches Tony's level? You can expect it to cost $15-$30 a dish. Sauces full of flavor, and always plentiful. Their heroes are really nice, especially when made fresh (soft, full of flavor). Their steam table food combos are an awesome deal for delicious food. I can't say enough about the food here, and its prices are amazing. Any food place I try, I like to try everything in their menu. I always find a lot of things that do not taste good. 95% of the stuff on Tony's menu is absolutely delicious, and of the 5% that isn't ABSOLUTELY delicious, it's still not bad. I have not encountered any food here that tasted bad or that was repulsive. Every time I get take out from here, opening it is like opening a present, I'm always excited.“

“Mashallah Pakistani Restaurant in Brooklyn is a wonderful destination for anyone seeking authentic, flavorful Pakistani cuisine that satisfies both the appetite and the soul. From the moment you walk in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere and inviting aromas of aromatic spices set the stage for a memorable dining experience that transports you straight to the heart of South Asia. The menu features an impressive array of traditional dishes bursting with bold, authentic flavors. The biryani is a true standout, fragrant, perfectly spiced, and loaded with tender meat, while the rich, creamy curries like nihari, haleem, and karahi deliver deep, satisfying flavors that keep customers coming back. The freshly baked naan, sizzling seekh kebabs, and tender tikka are equally impressive, all prepared with quality halal ingredients and genuine care. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the overall value is excellent for the quality you receive. Service is friendly, attentive, and accommodating, with staff happy to guide newcomers through the menu. Whether you're a longtime fan of Pakistani cuisine or trying it for the first time, Mashallah Pakistani Restaurant delivers an authentic, delicious, and truly satisfying experience worth revisiting.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
