I wish I had the vocabulary to explain how good the food is, but all I can say is... wow. I had the Uzbeki lamb something something... idk what it's called but it says it's the national dish on the menu. The lamb was perfectly cooked and falling off the bone, and the 1 dollar upgrade for the carrots and raisins on the rice is definitely a must DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH GET THE RAISINS AND CARROTS Sorry, I got excited thinking about how good this meal was. My wife got some chicken or something idk but it was great also

I ordered the lamb and beef kofta (#7B on the menu). They were cooked fresh, so it took my order…read more15 minutes to come out. The beef was good, especially when dipped in the BBQ sauce. However, I did not like the lamb. It tasted like hamburger meat, and it was tough. Tahir, one of the cooks, noticed that I hardly touched the lamb kofta, so he asked me what was wrong, and when I told him, he offered me that another skewer of beef kofta. Now that's good customer service. The basmati rice was delicious. I could not stop eating it. Tahir said that it is brown because he puts gravy and different spices in it. The salad was okay. The restaurant was relatively clean despite the huge traffic. I will return here, just to order the beef kofta with basmati rice (no salad, please).

We had already looked on the menu online and knew what we wanted to order. However, they gave us a pre-fix menu and stated that we could only order from the Mother's Day menu. It was 1 appetizer, 1 entree, soda or tea for $55 per person. If you look at the regular menu prices, this exceeds what it cost for 1 entree and 1 appetizer. We got the cheese rolls, liver, & mixed appetizer which were all shareable portions. After we were done with appetizers, it took over an hour to get our entrees. The waiter checked in and it seemed that he never gave the kitchen our orders or completely forgot about them because the food was luke warm. We got the lamb chops, chicken shish, & branzino. The chicken and tender and juicy. The branzino was light and flaky. Everything was well seasoned and the rice & salad were also tasty. The lamb chops were over cooked and a bit dry. Overall, I would say don't come here on a day you know will be busy. You may not get to order the dishes you want, experience poor service, and deal with an overpriced menu. For $55, they should have included a baklava for dessert or something.

Don't judge me... I really didn't want to drive! The food is an always delivered hot and fresh! I usually order the mantoo and chicken tikka kabab that's served with basmati rice and sauce. Their white sauce, garlic sauce, and chakni are delicious! The chicken isn't dried out and it's very juicy and tender! The mantoo was nice as well. One day, I'll drive to the restaurant & I'll update my review. However, they never messed up my order and the food has always been consistent. Maybe that's why Uber eats keeps sending me reminders to place an order..

Both were very flavorful and of course, I smothered it with the almighty white sauce.

Be sure to try the green sauce too. I believe it's called chatney? This place did not disappoint and I would definitely return! Delicious halal food
