I came here today on lunch from work and had a great experience! I ordered the chicken over rice…read morewith lettuce, tomatoes, and white onions, topped with extra white and green sauce. That combo is a major key. The food was incredibly flavorful--each bite of rice, chicken, and sauce was a flavor explosion. I also ordered fries, which were preseasoned and delicious. Everything came to $14, which is very reasonable for the amount of food you get. The fries and the plate were equal to two meals worth of food. I would highly recommend coming here. Some notable mentions: it was clean inside, the staff was friendly, it's pretty roomy, prices are reasonable for what you get, they stay open late, there's a bathroom for customer use, and there is seating in the back with tables and chairs. This spot is definitely worth a visit!

Incredibly poor experience with allergens. My experience was that staff at this location are rude…read moreand bordering on verbally abusive. In my case, and after speaking with the manager, it became clear they could not guarantee the food would be clear of allergens that my family has life threatening allergies to. Quite why having a life threatening allergy is a reason to be verbally abused I have no idea. The other Stamford location that closed recently was the only one I'd ever used before this, and was great. This one was about as bad as it gets. Mind you, I had already paid (my bad, I should have asked before), and they absolutely refused to cancel, so food was made that was never actually eaten. What a waste... Get the impression they really needed the sale. YMMV but I will be avoiding like the plague.

Usually good service but this time we felt like the portions were smaller and when we asked about it, the lady made sure we wouldn't waste the food.

I hope they don't make us feel like we are a burden next time the family eats at this establishment.

ALERT! ALERT! THIS PLACE IS CASH ONLY! ALERT! ALERT! THIS PLACE IS CASH ONLY!…read more Okay, got that out of my system! Let's write some wurrrrrrdz! So this is a stop I have been meaning to come by for some time now, thanks to Saira K.'s review of the place. I've also been wanting to give Pakistani food a proper chance because the last time I tried Pakistani food I had to give 1-star to for making me vomit, so tacked on another reason for me coming here. Another thing helping its case was that it wasn't too far a walk for me from the Bridgeport Station, so it was a relatively straightforward travel to get here. Tonight was finally my night to go. I will start by saying Saira knows exactly what she is talking about with this place. The owners and employees are friendly people, they do give you fast service, and they do an excellent job packing your food. You can eat inside if you've got the time, but I had to get takeout on this one. I still had to walk 20 minutes back to the station, so eating in wasn't much of an option in my case. As you might have noticed however, I did have to take off a star. Why? Well, to put it this way, if you have problems with your vision, bring a friend with you who can read the menu! The lighting made the overhead menus difficult to see, so I did have to get the man behind the counter to grab me a handheld copy of the menu. This was much easier on the eyes. Now, usually, I do also normally take off a star if the place is a cash only place because cash only makes a return visit more of a longer shot, but luckily I had already known about this before coming after reading some other reviews, and there is an ATM in the Baghdad Mart next door, so it wasn't a huge deal this time around. Now for the food, they do heat food in the microwave as I watched with the biryani that came in my order, but this was likewise not a big deal. Why? Because when I got back to the station to try the food, it was indeed tasty! For my order, I did a Beef Nehari and Garlic Naan, and it came with a salad that had a spicy salad dressing to it. It was a large bag of food too! Wanna know how much it was? $25! That ain't bad, and the food is worth the price! That naan was melt-in-my-mouth delicious. Even though the rice was microwaved, it was cooked just right. The Beef Nehari was spicy for sure, but the meat itself was tender and flavorful. The spice did not overpower the flavor here, and that can be a make-or-break deal depending on your relationship with spice. If they only started accepting card payments here, I'd gladly come again whenever I have time between trains. But yeah, even though the food and service is worth the full 5, the one thing I can't overlook is the difficulty reading the menu.

I was a bit bummed that my order got switched around and I ended up with fried eggplant instead of cauliflower, but it was still tasty, if a bit oily. Fluffy pita, creamy hummus, fresh veggies across the board; they've nailed every dish I tried. It's a small but homey space, oriented more for takeout than dine in. We ordered ahead and there was no wait to collect out food. Just be careful pulling out of that small parking lot because there's not much room for error when traffic is bad. I'll have to come back for the cauliflower next time!

I ordered lamb platter with white rice, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and that divine white sauce spread all over the top. The lamb was cut into small cubes and they were tasty! It came with two small plastic containers of red hot sauce and two containers of an earthy green sauce. I didn't try the green sauce; the hut sauce was zesty & complemented the meal well. Ambiance was nothing to write back home to mom about. It was a clean space, it was kind of sterile. Good thing I don't eat ambiance. So with that, the food was very good & it hit the proverbial spot! If you're hankering for a good gyro meat with rice and all the toppings come here, they won't disappoint. Buon appetito!!

The chicken/lamb combo over rice was a standout! Perfectly seasoned with a generous drizzle of their creamy white sauce. I decided to add french fries because I was really hungry but in retrospect, that might have been a little overboard. The gyro was also bomb. Smother it in white sauce and hot sauce for a perfect blend of flavors. My only gripe is that some of the chicken had ligaments in it. I'm not really a fan of chewing on those things but it was just a few and overall the food was great!

Great food. Reasonable Prices. Service needs a little bit of improvement…read more Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. Happened to be on Wednesday night. Place wasn't packed but there were some customers there. So the restaurant is not much for decor IMHO but has excellent food. Even on Wednesday night. Chuchvara, Lagman, Shurpa, Achik-Chuchuk, Various Kebabs, Beef Tongue, and most importantly Cheburek. The only dish that can go wrong like a puffer fish. Underdo it and it's inedible, overdo it the same, wrong oil or too much oil and your customers will run screaming for the hills. This was actually done so well we went for seconds, light and crispy on the outside and nice and juicy inside. I'm drooling just writing about it.... A great place to visit, service on the slow night could've been a little better but I can't really complain.
