Ambiance is not on the menu. I counted about 8 chairs altogether, semi scattered between 2 tables...but it's not about that, it's about the food. The food is very good, hitting all the comfort food vibes. It's also offered at a bargain price.
Garlic naan and chicken tikka - slightly crisp and smoky on the outside and light (naan) or tender and juicy (chicken) on the inside. The tandoor oven and the experience of the cooks crafted those dishes to a very high level. The palak paneer seemed plain at first but subtler spicing came through the more I consumed/shoveled it in my mouth.
I love places like this. Pretentiousness is nowhere in sight. There's a hardworking honesty to the place and they feed their clientele well made and generous portions.

Expected good pakistani food from this restaurant based in previous reviews. However, the food was very disappointing. It was very bland and lacked all sorts of flavors. The biryani was missing authenticity and taste. Honestly, the food deserved less than one star rating. The service was fine but nothing over the top. The dessert was very mediocre as well.

HIDDEN GEM 💎 the food was so good especially for the soul, called in a take out order and the worker helped me pick out what to eat. Very nice people inside, it may not look like much from the outside but the flavors was divine. The prices are great too with huge portions, they fill the bowls to the top making it definitely worth it. Definitely getting more than one meal out of it from 2 orders alone for 2 people. Will definitely come again !😋

I got the palak paneer, rice, and a mango lassi. The employees were very kind, the food was some of the best I’ve ever had, portions are very generous while being very affordable. I will definitely be back!

Update 11 February 2025
Still superior.
Absolutely scrumptious Tikka Masala, fantastic Veg. Jalfrazie.
And hands down best naan anywhere.
Chapati is excellent.
Samosas are so yummy.
Ali and Raj are still the bomb!!

Chefs Ali and Raj are back!
Delicious plant-based and meat selections. Fantastic and friendly. Love their food.

Lamb biryani sucks no meat on it at all if you order lamb biryani expect it to be just rice
