Shirazi Karahi is a spot located in my old neighborhood and I've been meaning to try out their karahi dishes. I somehow managed to make my way here and luckily we got immediately seated with no wait time. The place was almost at full capacity. The dining experience has an elevated diner appeal with booths for families to sit in and some level of privacy. Their Karahi dishes are excellent with their house made rotis or biryani or both if you're down for the carb overload ! ... but next to Karahi dishes (they serve the food in an actual Karahi for that homely feel) their sizzling dishes are just as attractive...don't worry, once you get seated and waiting to give your order, you will see (and smell) the dishes coming out! It's a seated dining experience with an attentive staff, great service and the karahis/ sizzling dishes were on point This is the spot that's great for families, groups of friends , cousins, significant other(s) , spouses, side baes, or main baes.

They tasted exactly the same. I guess they were decent. But I was expecting more given the depiction of the dish on UberEats. The Chana Masala, Palak Aloo, and Kerahi Shrimp entrees came DRENCHED in what seemed like a gallon of oil, occupying 1/3 of the container which left the contents dripping, even after we poured out the liquid, rendering them inedible. Photo attached for reference. The samosas were good, and reminded us of the samosas that Mehak in Kew Gardens used to make. The naan was large and good, and the mango lassi was also refreshing. But the bulk of the dinner (the entrees) were quite underwhelming and left much to be desired, especially given what we paid for it. Perhaps when dining in-house they do a better job of draining the oil from the dishes, but they certainly don't fare well in transit.

Prices are on the high side and there is a mandatory 18% dine in tip. The restaurant is a bit more upscale than the typical Pakistani restaurant. We had a lime soda, which was housemade but too sweet. I could feel granules of sugar. The aloo chaat was boring and flavorless. Potatoes could be softer. The goat biryani is enoughfor 3 servings and comes out in a huge bowl. The meat was very good and tender but the flavoring/sauce was a bit too spicy and salty. This unfortunately upsetted my stomach.

We went as a walk-in on a Friday night and got seated immediately, which honestly surprised me. They have plenty of seating and I loved the decor. It's very cultural and added to the whole experience. Service was a bit slow, but it seemed like there was only one girl handling everything, so I get it. We started with pani puri and wow. It's a classic but the flavor here was next level. Easily one of the best I've had and definitely a top spot for me. For mains, we got the malai boti grill and chicken karahi. My husband would rate both a solid 9.5/10. I'm a Houstonian though, so my bar for grilled meat is pretty high and I'd say more like 8.5/10. Still really good overall. Definitely a solid go-to when you're craving authentic Pakistani food but I'm in Queens so I have so many more to try!

I found out about Zaika Kitchen Food Truck recently and saw that they have pani puri (also known as…read moregol gappa) on their menu and they open early. I immediately knew I had to go check this spot out. I've never had pani puri before and I've always wondered what it tasted like since it's such a popular street food in India. So I went recently and got their six pieces of pani puri which came out to be around $7. I also wanted to get their vegetable samosa but since I went early during the day, they were still frozen. Once I got my food, I went to a nearby park to try the pani puri. It came with a spicy, tangy water too which I used to pour a little into the puri. The first bite was like an explosion of flavors in my mouth, there was sweet, spicy, sour, and hints of aromatic notes. It was quite delicious. Now, it wasn't mind-blowing or anything. I actually thought it tasted like something I've had before. Or I don't know, maybe it's because I eat hummus and chickpeas pretty often so that's probably why I didn't think the pani puri tasted like anything new to me. I also did not know that pani puri is supposed to be eaten cold/room temperature, I was surprised because for some reason, I thought it was supposed to be served warm. But aside from that, I still enjoyed the meal and appreciate that it wasn't extremely spicy.

You won't be able to identify what anything is, especially not chicken. The roti was a bit burnt and while a nice size not my favorite. Since it's on my drive home, I'll likely come back. It's cash only, which is a bit annoying for the area.

The area is swamped with Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Pakistani and indian food and shops, and if you are out with a family, this may not be the place to go as there is absolutely no seating in there. This is strictly a take out place. The food is delicious, specially the chicken kababs. Their Haleem and Nihari also is probably the best in the area. The first time, I just walked in by accident just to see what this place was. After having a conversation with their main chef, he tempted me to try their Haleem as a taste test and the rest is history. From there on, whenever I am in Jackson heights, I pick up food from here. The cuisine and style is mostly from Karachi, the spice level is a bit on the higher side, but if you really want to exercise your taste buds, this is the place to go. Downside: Parking is tough in that neighborhood as it is so crowded. You may have to circle around to find parking at a bit distant.

Lahore is a Pakistani restaurant which is honestly not common to come across (compared to Indian restaurants). The interior is nicely decorated and we were seated immediately. We got 2 appetizers, Aloo Papri Chaat and Gol Gappay. The Aloo Papri Chaat was cold, loaded with textures and flavors, and even some slight sweetness. It was enjoyable but not sure I would gravitate to this again. The Gol Gappay was beautifully presented with a similar flavor profile to the Aloo Papri Chaat. It's great for sharing and more of a playful appetizer. I've never had Karahi before and although maybe not the traditional version, we opted for the White Chicken Karahi. It was mild, savory and creamy. It took ~30 minutes to prepare as the menu states and they don't skimp out on the chicken. For the price point, I would say the portion is reasonable. The chicken was tender, buttery, and aromatic. My only complaint is that it wasn't served with anything so we had to add some Basmati Rice and Tandoori Roti on our own dime. I think it should come with at least one complimentary side dish considering it's an entree. We ended with a Kashmiri Chai. It's a pink-hued tea that actually gets its color from the chemical reaction between the green tea & baking soda. All this time, I thought it was rose! It was garnished with pistachios and had hints of cardamom and cinnamon spices which I enjoyed. Good try overall!

It's unfortunate that I have to post this as I feel despite us voicing our concern (multiple times) in person with the staff and also on the phone when ordering take out, the staff is not trained and do not take certain dietary restrictions seriously such as food allergies. After having a child who suffers from peanut and egg allergies, whenever we have dined or ordered from here as of lately, we have politely asked for certain food not to be served together and prepared properly. After expressing this, the staffs answer is rude and with an attitude and us being told "ok i'll just put it in a separate plate" after it being cross contaminated and served. Then during a take out order when we called to alert that there is an allergy, to please ensure the food is properly handled and packed separately from egg-containing items, we were told (specifically by Jaspreet) it is already prepared and packed, so the best that can be done is taken out and packed separately instead of adhering to the urgency of the matter and re-preparing the food. Our child broke out in hives due to their negligence in the past and I fear that their inefficiency to understand the seriousness of this matter will one day result in legal action being taken against this establishment if God forbid someone else has a reaction or worse a Fatality. My post isn't intended towards the quality of the food, it is more so to be heard and create awareness on this matter as it seems this establishment can care less towards your health needs. Update: We were contacted by ownership (Ishrath) and accused of being in the wrong and were met with disrespect and advised not to come to this establishment anymore as they cannot meet our "crazy demands." We should have been heard out, which was explained to co-ownership (Sobia) a few minutes after my review was posted, that this wasn't a personal jab towards the establishment however has happened to us on multiple accounts, specifically from staff member Jaspreet the past two times in a matter of two weeks. There was no apology on the matter, just defensiveness in a "sweet tone." This is more so a validation that despite us voicing our concerns multiple times in person, it has fallen on deaf ears and it is unfortunate that we have had to go to such extremes as posting this to be heard. Since my post, we see the attempt to have our post buried, and quite frankly hope it made a difference, albeit they have lost our business however we know the restaurant will still thrive. Still wishing them the best of luck and hopefully prevents any future consequence on this matter.
