    Loved this Pakistani restaurant, especially their lamb chops and chicken bihari kabab. A perfect place for desi families.

    Really good food…read more Got their Mapo Tofu Chole Bhature - 4/5 Soya Chaap - 5/5. Loved it. The smoky / charted flavor added a nice touch. Methi Malai Matar - 4/5. Quite good Friendly staff. Nice ambience with good music and decor.

    WOWWWW!! How have I never been here despite living so close when I was in Philly!! This was one of…read morethe best Indian places I've ever been to!! Sooo much seating inside. We got the chicken korma, which came with juicy chicken thigh meat, cooked in a coconut, cashew, and almond sauce. You could tell the chicken had been marinating in the curry for hours, and it was just so addicting creamy. We also got the saag paneer which is a bit more bitter and earthy, and had so much spinach. Such a nice contrast from the creaminess of the chicken korma, and made for a lighter bite. Wish they had more paneer in it - so yum!! Love a chewy firm tofu like block of cheese. Both entrees come with rice for free!! The Kashmiri naan was absolutely INSANE!! I've never had it, and didn't realize how amazing naan could taste. This was not soft like traditional naan, but rather was crispy and came with nuts, honey in between the layers, and glacé cherries. I don't even like cherries, and I found this insanely good. Could def just eat on its own, especially fresh out of the oven! Our server was really kind and gave us sooo much time to figure out what we wanted to eat. Checked in on us a few times too!

    I apologize if the nihari and kahari pictures are mislabeled, the kid who was helping us didn't…read moreknow which was which. I think I got it right, but I'm not certain! Both were delicious (everything was kind of swimming in grease though, I didn't love that). We asked for recommendations, and everything the owner recommended was great (he recommended the peri peri grilled chicken, which was our favorite, and the Lahori fried fish soups). Mango lassis were also good. The rooh-afza tasted like liquefied red hots, so if you like those you'll love this! (I don't like red hots so I didn't). The falafel wasn't great, but we ordered it for my grandma so she'd get something that was completely mild (no heat to it) and that and the hummus and plain rice/naan were the only things that fit the bill for her, so it definitely did its job. We won't be coming back because it's waaaaay too expensive for what you get, but we enjoyed the experience well enough. (Edit to add after reading previous reviews: the kid who was serving us didn't know what to do when we asked for glasses of water as well, so it sounds like that's a common thing here. There really wasn't any kind of service beyond just bringing us our food when it was ready, which we didn't mind but other people might.) Edit again: I'm taking another star off because I found a hair that doesn't belong to anyone in our household in the leftovers, which is grossing me out enough to throw them away.

    Just got takeout from this cute little place and it was delicious!! Chicken biryani was very…read moreflavorful and had a nice heat to it. Looking forward to trying other dishes.
