Average at best. There was only one employee working when I entered and he was on his phone the entire time. Ordered the gyro plate and it was mostly (probably 80%) rice. There was some meat, but it was cut super thin and piled up to make it look like much more than it actually was. Plenty of rice, the meat, naan and a tiny little pile of a salad (maybe the size of any ice cream scoop). Naan was delicious. Total was $13 but left still hungry. The reason I am giving two stars instead of three when I said it was average is because they charge a 3.5% service fee whether you pay cash or credit. The employee said it was the company that runs the POS system called "Toast." Absurd to charge extra to pay - just bump your prices up to compensate.

Great food, not only their Pakistani dishes, but burgers, gyros and appetizers are also very good. Quick service, and would highly recommend if you want to try Pakistani or Indian food near campus. Also open late on weekends which is definitely a plus.

Over priced, small portions, bland food, overrated. My family and I love desk food. The food that we tried that night had nothing to do with authentic desi foods. We ordered veggie biryani, chicken biryani, chicken tenders, butter chicken, potatoes with cauliflower dish, cheese naan, potatoes samosas. Food was greasy, bland, naan was a ready made frozen naan that you buy at Walmart. Chicken tenders were so dry. No one of my family liked the food.Dietary restrictions: Halal

If you are looking for good Indian food this is definitely not your place. All the appetizers are frozen, then don’t even care to reheat it properly. We ordered spring rolls they were hot from the outside but the filling was still cold and uncooked. To be honest their kitchen condition worries me the most as its not very maintained or not even looks hygienic. Totally it was a waste of my money and time! Would never recommend it to anyone.

I took out dinner from here. Food was ready in 15 minutes. Chicken biryani was ok. Halwa puri was the other item I had. Halwa was good. Channa had too much vinegar. Puri could have been fluffier. Beef tikka roll was not good. It was lacking in flavor as well not made properly.

Service was good, owner friendly. Sadly the quality was a big let down to other Restaurants specializing in their regional food.

They claim they are halal. Hope they will keep proper certification. We need more halal options here.

I never had authentic Indian food before and this was hands down so darn good. I ate the whole meal with my eyes closed lol! The naan bread was so delicious, I walked to my car and turned around and ordered 3 more servings for later ?. Customer service was delightful! 10/10 would recommend!!

The restaurant employee's lack of politeness was disappointing ?; he was quite rude. Our simple inquiry was whether they accept RedCard for payment. When we asked, he responded that they do not accept RedCard and went further to describe RedCard users as "the worst people." It was puzzling why he was so impolite, especially to RedCard holders. Even if they don't accept RedCard, a simple "no" would have sufficed. Instead, they answered in an unnecessarily harsh manner.Even when they clarified that they only accept cash, we were open to paying in cash. We are guests in Madison and had been temporarily given access to use the RedCard for meals. However, the employee's disparaging comments about RedCard users made us reconsider our lunch plans."We appreciate a polite attitude, and it's unfortunate that we did not experience that today. We hope the restaurant staff can maintain a more courteous demeanor in the future. Thank you".
