This isn’t the real Shinwari. They have appropriated the culture and the food isn’t Shinwari at all. This is just one restaurant, pretending to be 4 different restaurants. The food is sub-par, nothing is cooked properly. The service is absolutely horrible as well. I waited for over 45 minutes just to get my good. This is an atrocity to the Shinwari name.

Okay, Dec 26, 2025 - bottom line up front - great food! Truly very pleasantly surprised!! Read all the negative, older reviews and had low expectations to be honest. But we were blown away by how good it really was! We had the Shinwari goat karhai and chicken malai kabob and let me tell you both were excellent. We know a good karhai when we taste it, and this Shinwari goat karhai (not ordinary goat karhai which is also on the menu but seek out the Shinwari karhai on their menu) was surprisingly tender (breaks apart on your fingers tender) and the masala of the karhai was on point. Best karhai we’ve had in a long time! The chicken malai kabob was also tender and juicy - not quite as creamy soft as I hoped but still pretty good and worth the price ($18). The naan was not as good as many other restaurants in the area (no sesame seeds) but acceptable for the karhai! Really, as a family, we were blown away to find this good quality Pakistani food in our area! We will be back to try other things. Don’t let those older bad reviews keep you from trying the Shinwari dishes here!

Naan is 10 days old and they charge $5 for garlic naan and it was the worst naan ever, it was so old and hard. Never ordering from here again!

Horrible service. They take your booking and keep your information. Then they give away your table without even calling or letting you know that the table has been given to somebody else. So you drive one and half hour just to find they couldn’t wait 15 min for you. The guy on the service has no manners. Disappointed

Can someone explain why none of the items of photo used for advertising this restaurant is not actually included in the menu of this restaurant??

If this is Khyber Shinwari at Spice Village - I love this place - the chicken tikka is tasty and of excellent quality. None of that elderly, rubber chicken you get some other places. Thank you Khyber Shinwari for resisting the temptation to go cheap. I will say though, that the butter chicken gravy has a touch too much ... sugar? (something is making it sweet) for my taste, but not so much that it truly wrecks it ... only, I wish ...
