At this place, I had the chicken udon stirfry. It was very good. Very delicious. The only problem was the portion of it. Just wish I had a little bit more.

Delicious kebab chicken and lamb! Meat was cooked fresh on the grill. A generous portion for $20. Bathrooms and facilities were clean.

I visited Ravi Kabab on a Saturday night with two friends and ordered Chicken Karahi, Nihari, and roti. Unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. The roti was overly stretchy and lacked freshness, and the tables were not properly cleaned.

I remember visiting Ravi Kabab with my family 10 to 12 years ago, back when it was located next to the pharmacy. The food back then was incredible and the overall experience felt much more pleasant. Sadly, this recent visit didn’t live up to those memories.

Such good food. The staff is cool too. They definitely go at their own speed which I respect, though they forgot part of my take out order. Some of the best kabobs I've ever had and big portions

I visited this restaurant recently, the chickpeas were absolutely delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I genuinely enjoyed that part of the meal.

Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was disappointing. I ordered a samosa, which was far from fresh. I actually saw the staff microwave it right in front of me after the person at the counter (possibly the manager or owner) instructed them to do so. It lacked taste and texture—it felt like it had been sitting out for a long time.

Customer service was also lacking. The staff did not seem welcoming at all. Instead of greeting me or making me feel comfortable, I felt like I was being watched or judged for simply coming in. That kind of attitude really affects the overall dining experience.

The restaurant atmosphere was also underwhelming. It wasn’t clean—old chairs, a messy kitchen area visible from the counter, and an overall lack of attention to cleanliness or ambiance. The staff seemed distracted and more focused on their own conversations than on attending to customers.

In short, while the chickpeas were great, the overall experience was not pleasant. I hope they work on improving their service, cleanliness, and food quality—especially for items like the samosa.

I would like to bring attention to the condition of the restrooms during my recent visit. Unfortunately, they were in extremely poor condition—at best, I would rate them 2 out of 10. The facilities were visibly unclean, with urine, water, and toilet paper scattered on the floor. The odor was overwhelming and very unpleasant, creating a concerning impression about overall sanitation standards.

Given the state of the restrooms, I am genuinely concerned about the hygiene practices in other parts of the establishment, particularly the kitchen. I strongly recommend that the management consider hiring a professional cleaning service and implement more rigorous maintenance protocols. This situation may also warrant a visit from the local health department to ensure compliance with public health standards.

Clean and well-maintained restrooms are a basic expectation in any restaurant, and I hope the necessary improvements are made promptly.

It's a desi cusine with a taste of Pakistani food. During the Ramadan, they served fruits, pakoras, dates, soup, and zam zam at aftar.
There, bar b que chicken was delicious. It was soft, tender, and tasty, served with rice , green chutni, salad, and chickpea.
Chicken karahi was also very tasty. Tandoori naan were also excellent.
Sweet and mango lassi were also very delicious.
Overall it was a wonderful aftar cum dinner.
Facility for prayer is also there.
Service needs improvement as well ambience is so so.
Yesterday, we again enjoyed the food and aftar. It's a wonderful experience.
