Apparently it is newly renovated and open 7 days a week until 11:30pm. Their menu offers different types of pizza as well as AUTHENTIC indian/pakistani food. They also have chicken wings and kulfi for dessert. The minute we walked in we were greeted and seated and given enough time to read through the menu. They also have an area to read prayers. The chicken karahi and chickar cholay were GREAT. You can tell these owners know their desi food. We did not taste the pizza but I'm almost positive it's delicious as well. Their naan also arrives fresh, piping hot. This was one of the best halal restaurants i've ever been to. friendly owners, clean restaurant and fantastic service. Highly recommend to Surrey locals and any muslims visiting the vancouver area. It takes about 45 mins via public transportation but it is WELL worth it. will def revisit if ever in the area gain.

We ordered the chicken platter, lamb platter, poutine, and mango cheesecake. Everything was delicious! The platters were big and I couldn't even finish it in one sitting. It came with rice, potatoes, salad, dolmades, and chicken/lamb. The choice of sauces (you get 2!) were awesome! We got the donair sauce and the pesto cilantro (or something like it) -- these made the dish taste even better. The dishes also came in sealed rectangle "tv dinner" style containers. Really impressed us because we've never had takeout in this style before. Overall, I'd come back here!

Been here a few times and never disappoints. Service is excellent and the staff makes recommendations if we are ordering too little or too much (no way!!!). With a group of 4, we had grilled halloumi cheese, homemade pit with dips, chicken with rice, lamb shank with rice. More than enough to feed 4 hungry adults. Free side street parking. The restaurant gets busy for diner so suggest you come early (before 6pm) to avoid the line up.

I definitely could have taken half home and still be full. The plate comes with chicken shawarma on rice with a pita/saj, and Tzatziki sauce, salad, and hummus. The chicken and rice were flavourful! But the chicken was too dry for my soft mouth. Hummus had a little too much olive oil for my taste (at first bite it tasted like I was eating actual olives, which I don't like) but was overall creamy. I didn't like the salad or Tzatziki sauce but that's just my flavour profile! The salad itself was really fresh and vibrant and Tzatziki sauce is probably as normal. Service is much like a food court. Self-serve, self-seat, no water provided. It's a small restaurant with around six tables.

After I ordered my chicken shawarma plate, the counter guy was just walking around inside of counter. Other lady was preparing my Baba ganoush in the kitchen area. It took 5 mins finally he STARTED to prepare my meal. So strange. Food was good. The rice, pilaf had good broth flavour. But not like dull rice, it's simple pilaf. Hamus was very very creamy.

It's especially good if you have a group of people dining with you. That way you can share different dishes and enjoy lots of different flavors. The Mixed Plate is especially good for that. I have seen from their menu online that they also offer something called Padisha's Table which requires a minimum of 4 adults ordering it, and costs $36 per person. For this visit we had the following: Beyti Sarma Small Mixed Plate Cheese Lovers Pide Lamb Durum Wrap Veggie Guvech Turkish Coffee Turkish Tea The Small Mixed Plate came with a humungous slab of lavash bread! It was crazy how big this piece of bread was. We were a group of 5 people and this Small Mixed Plate by itself could have been our lunch. It was such a huge piece of bread. Sooo good though. They baked it in the oven until it got all nice and puffy, and it came to our table piping hot. I always enjoy this Mixed Plate starter. It comes with such a nice variety of dips. My absolute favorite dip though is the Baba Ghannush. I think next time I eat at this restaurant, I will add on a separate order of the Baba Ghannush so I enjoy more of it than what comes in the Mixed Plate starter! I loved my Veggie Guvech. The veggies were roasted and baked to perfection. I'm someone who likes my food soft, so I was happy to find that the veggies in this dish were nice and soft. The menu description says that this dish comes with Lavash. I didn't see any more Lavash bread come other than the huge slab that came with our Small Mixed Plate. Perhaps they did this on purpose though. The one huge piece of bread is equivalent to several smaller pieces that you might get in other restaurants. I certainly didn't need anything more than the huge piece of bread we'd already been served, so was very glad not to see anything else come with my Veggie Guvech. If you're a cheese love, you can't go wrong with the Cheese Lovers Pide. It's our daughter's "go to" dish when we order from this restaurant. She really loves her cheese! The people who ordered Lamb Durum Wrap said the lamb inside their wraps was very moist and tender. I do recall also hearing good things about lamb dishes from this restaurant in the past, when we ordered takeout from them. The Turkish Coffee and Tea come in some beautifully designed cups. I have travelled to Turkey in the past and enjoyed a hot apple tea in a Turkish Tea cup. The cup that was used here was very much like the cup I drank from in Turkey. I never had coffee when I was in Turkey, but judging from how unique the design of the cup here was, it's probably a very traditional design for a Turkish coffee cup since the Turkish Tea cup was just like the ones I saw in Turkey. Highly recommend this place! There aren't a lot of Turkish restaurants within Metro Vancouver. This place is an absolute gem!
