Upon walking in the place is very very very clean , very quiet which I kinda don't like because I felt like we had to whisper you could hear a pin drop lol. It's very nice on the inside a nice bar to sit at very cozy ambiance. I ordered a soup to start with it was a spinach soup with chicken broth and chunky pieces of chicken all I have to saw is wow it was so flavorful so delicious a decent size where it wouldn't fill you up . They bring very thin "bread" it's almost like a pita chip with 3 dipping sauce. One is like minty chutney/ a tomato like salsa it's a little hot / the last sauce is like a sweet and sour oil all of them are very delicious!!! I ordered buttered shrimp with roti on the side and my friend got butter chicken it comes with basmati rice she ordered garlic Nan on the side. The flavor of the food here is amazing the service here is great the guys are very nice . For desert we got rice pudding it didn't look like it was going to be good but boy was I wrong it was some of the best rice pudding we had !!! They explained any questions we had about anything on the menu . Park isn't great here but it's definitely worth the trip here . I will be back !

For me this is very exciting because it's a halal spot now serving Srilankan food . Which I never get to try before. Altho I gotta take a 40 min bus ride to get here but I will gladly come to try their new menu & show my support to small business! Food was yummy , customer service is great . Hope it goes well .

There was a wait of 15-30mins when we got here on Saturday night - it is popular - and the service is busy but friendly. Ambiance is tidy and neat, but not a glamorous spot - if you're eating in it's because you care about the food not about the pictures.

Parking is a bit narrow and gets crowded in peak times. Loved the interiors... lots of seats inside to sit and dine . Loved the dhaba style seating on the left . We actually got one and we loved the ambience . Service was ok .. not too notch but not too slow . Of course we ordered the kulchaaaaaaaaaa.. it was superrbbbbb. Mind boggling... very authentic. And it surely can be had by 2 people ! One cannot have the whole thing ! 10/10 kulcha . Other items we tried : Naan and paneer tikka - good Paneer green starter - very good Hats bara kabab - very average . Tasted raw and not fried/cooked well Chole batura - very good Gobi Manchurian - disaster . Should not have ordered Chinese dish in Punjabi restaurant Gajar halwa - disaster ! Wasn't sweet at all. We had to put 2 spoons of sugar to make it taste like halwa Apart from kulcha , we had mixed opinions on the food with most of the dishes not that tasty . May be it is not a place for vegetarians . I heard the non veg items had better reviews here . Overall , 3 stars wish other dishes are as awesome as their kulcha :)

The food is some of the most authentic Pakistani cuisine I've had anywhere in New York, from the naan to the saag. If you're missing home, this restaurant is truly an experience. Don't get me wrong--the food is rich, generously cooked with oil, and probably not the healthiest option, but that's part of what makes Pakistani food so comforting and authentic. There's plenty of seating, making it a great spot to visit with family. There's almost always a line, but that's a good sign and a testament to how great the food is. The service is solid--they make sure you get what you need. The ambience is simple and functional, especially for a packed restaurant, but the focus here is clearly on the food. If you're craving real Pakistani flavors, this place is worth the visit.

We started with samosas, two types; vegetable and chicken. These savory pastries were packed with well season veggies and chicken. The crust was light, flaky and perfectly crispy. The Lamb shanks was so tender, the meat fell of the bone. The spinach and paneer, a homemade cheese, paired well with the shank and vegetable fried rice. This spicy concoction cut through the heaviness of the meat dishes like a butter knife. The combination of flavors complimented each other and balanced the meal perfectly. The chai tea is a must. The original, smells and tastes like warm caramel. The "Kashmir chai" is an acquired taste. Less flavor intense than the regular chai but the pretty pink color adorned with shaved pistachio was a hit for the kids. If you still have room, carrot pudding, basil seed sherbet, assorted fudge and sweets are at your fingertips. Prices are reasonable, won't break the bank. I guarantee you will enjoy the experience.

I like the salad bar that has all the offering. The beef kofta was good, but a bit under seasoned as well as the chicken samosa. Beef kofta and lamb over rice tasted a bit healthier by using leaner meat, hence a nicer texture. The chicken tikka was a bit dry and under seasoned as well. I really enjoyed the rice and salad that went along with the meal. The lamb over rice was better tasting than the usually halal cart. I really enjoyed the sauce that was put on the side to go with my meal. I was a bit sad when the beef kofta and chicken tikka didn't come with bread. I will come back for healthier halal option. Also, it was a friendly service.
