I've finally found a place where I can buy just protein without carbs! For the longest time I've…read morestruggled to find a place where I can just go and order meat or chicken only without any rice or bread. Well, this is the place to go and while they're well known for their BBQ (or so I've heard), majority of their menu is spicy. However, I was excited to find that some items, such as the chicken tikka and malai boti are mild/not too spicy so I often for those. I didn't try any of the meat items, since I don't really eat meat, but everything I've ordered from their chicken was amazing! I loved the malai boti, chicken malai leg and the chicken tikka. We ordered some karachi paratha on the side and decided to make our own paratha roll at home with the chicken and it turned out very very good. I would come back here in the future should I need or crave good chicken and BBQ. The seasoning and spices used were great. Their tea was also pretty good and portion was quite generous. I gave a 4/5 as I also tried their peshawari ice cream, but was not a fan of it. The ice cream used was not creamy enough and it was topped with rooh afza, making it a little sweeter and the ice cream was also quite small considering it was $5. Stick to what they're known for and that is their kababs and BBQ. Don't forget to grab some tea as well. Forgot to grab a pic of our order.

The inside is nice and clean, very spacious with plenty of seat. Servers were good but they can definitely be more trained for sit down restaurant.

The walls are covered in pictures featuring artists from Pakistan, architectural landmarks and ofcourse Aftab Iqbal who I have seen on tv when visiting my parents. The menu features staple Pakistani cuisine along with Mediterranean. I was ready to try both, Unfortunately, they didn't have any of the items available on their Mediterranean menu. We tried the Lahori Nashta, halwa puri came with chickpeas (choley), halwa and puri. The combination itself was tasty. The only drawback was that the puri was very oily. The Nihari with naan was my favourite, it was a bit spicy but I couldn't stop eating it. The chai also hit the spot. The service wasn't bad, we received our food quickly the staff was friendly. They do have a great catering menu with great prices which I can't wait to try. Overall, pleased & recommend it.

There was only one server at the time when I went in. Food was good and portions were huge, great for sharing. I got: Chicken biryani (serves 2) 4/5 - This was in massive portions with a mountain of rice and full chicken legs hidden throughout. It was topped with an egg sliced in half, some sauced chicken breast pieces and raw onion. I thought that there wasn't enough raw onion for the ratio of the rice. Also came with a yogurt sauce to help with the spice. Overall, very flavourful, delicious and great for sharing. Butter chicken with garlic naan 5/5 - Thought this was delicious, creamy, tomatoey, and had the perfect amount of spice. Garlic naan was already crispy and paired well with the butter chicken. I devoured this one and wanted more. Overall, a solid place for dinner or lunch. Portions are huge, especially if it's the biryani. Be prepared to pack your food to go since portions are large.

I took my seat and ordered some food. Here's what we had: - Tandoori - 7/10: The taste was fine, but I deducted 3 points because it seemed like the tandoori was fried. - Mutton Roast - 10/10: The mutton was soft and incredibly flavorful. - Hyderabadi Chicken - 10/10: Spicy and flavorful, it was delicious. The spice level is intense, but enjoyable. - Amravati Chicken - 10/10: My first time trying this dish, and it was great. It was slightly sweeter than the Hyderabadi Chicken. - Malai Kofta - 10/10: Paired with naan, this was my favorite. Highly recommended for vegetarians. To end our delicious dinner, we had: - Mango Blast - 10/10 - Rasmalai - 10/10 I've already pinned this place to come back soon. Shoutout to Savni, our server, who was great!

If you are visiting Tabaq, or any other place here, you are coming for the cheap/ decent food and…read morenot the ambiance as there isn't much. Located inside the mall, you have to walk past a series of random stores, handful of barbers to get to the food court. There is a decent amount of seating available, but be prepared to wait for a table. Limited sitting for a large family (to sit together). There are several stores offering the same food but Tabaq had the longest line. What I enjoyed was seeing all these women all different ages working, it appeared to be a family business. There was an assembly line to get through the orders quickly. I ordered and received my food fairly quickly. You cat go wrong with a $7.99 nashta. The puri was good. The chick peas were flavourful, the halwa was soft (almost runny) it came paired with raitaa & acchar (pickled mango). The flavour wasn't bad, I didn't find everything to be a little oily, wasn't able to finish it. The chai was good. Overall, for a cheap Pakistani breakfast, I would recommend it!

I ordered the chicken korma, onion bhajji, curried cauliflower and potato and naan bread. I found the chicken korma very bland, the curried cauliflower and potato was 90% cauliflower but I didn't order it, just observing. The onion bhaji was good once I asked for the yogurt dip to go with it (my preference). The naan bread was fresh and tasty. Service was good but there were only 2 other tables in the restaurant and one of them was friends of the owner or staff. I could definitely find better Indian food in the area, wouldn't go back.

Considering the area, it's the best value-for-taste in regards to Indian (Pakistani) takeout. If you prefer just to eat in the comfort of your own home as opposed to dining in somewhere and paying premium prices + taxes + tips, then Shaheen is for you! I got a Chicken Biryani + 1 small Chicken Karahi + 1 medium veg pakoras in yogurt sauce and it was ~$22. This will feed 3-4ppl. Again, much better deal than an Indian restaurant. Since this is a grocery store + hot table + butcher, the chicken was soo tender. Not old and hard as with other places. Girl behind counter was very friendly! She also stated that dishes are kept at Medium-Spicy, and that wasn't an exaggeration. So if you're sensitive to spices, I'd ask before I buy! But I think this is a good thing as opposed to watered-down food. Again, great "bang for your buck" if you're looking for a Pakistani takeout!

I did not think a franchise would have such rich and spicy, and a tad sweet butter chicken but I was wrong! Karachi Kitchen Dixie location has become my favourite spot in Mississauga for butter chicken and also the cheapest at a whopping $6.25/order. For my lunch today consisting of butter chicken, rice, two spring rolls and a chicken samosa I paid LESS than 15 bucks! And I have left overs for dinner. You really can't go wrong with picking up lunch here through out the work week. My typical call-in takeout order is butter chicken, rice, garlic naan and some snacks. They have these containers of snacks like samosas, spring rolls, fish etc that you can ask for when you pick up your order, I like choosing what I want when I get there and they just add it to my takeout order. One thing though is they don't adjust the curries to your taste (mild/med/hot) as they cook it in one pot. I personally find the butter chicken spiced to my taste (spicy) but I know others may not be a fan of this so may be worth making note of this when you order. And OH I also can't wait to try their $5 biryani which I'v seen raved about! (FYI, the guy that posted the 1 star review about the place and posted photos of it proves he didn't actually go here; this location is takeout only, there are no tables with plates, let alone silver cutlery LOL) Go here!!
