I love tasting new restaurants and wanted to stop by this place . Fantastic location . Right in the heart of Lexington Avenue . Lots of other restaurants nearby. Lots of space inside to sit and eat . Even though the ambience is not that great , it's ok for a quick lunch .. service could be better. All guys go inside the kitchen and hardly come out . Wish they had a bell or something in the counter outside for the customers to call them . Sometimes you keep waiting for many minutes before they come out . For the price , food was good . They have many food items on display and we chose some curries .. quantity was good . Naan , white rice and 2 non veg curries for 13.50$. Not bad. ... goat curry was good . Perfect Lahori taste . Chicken curry was average . Could have tasted better . My only issue is presentation. The y just mix all curries in rice and they are smashed all across the plate . Wish they give these curries in separate containers so we can enjoy the flavor of each curries . Another thing is they just reheat these curries . They are precooked . Sometimes with that , we wouldn't know if it is fresh . It tasted fresh though. Overall a good restaurant but giving them 3 stars . Will visit again and check and improve my ratings if needed

I found this place when I was visiting New York with family who are interested in Pakistani food…read more It's a small hole in the wall, but the food was amazing with a homemade feel. We tried the chicken Costa curry with eggs and the chicken curry. Both the naan and the paratha were piping hot and fresh and the absolute comfort food. The service was great and food is very affordable

The meats were good. The chicken was very delicious. My knock on this place is cleanliness. There were flies flying around the food. The food that they serve you. Which is cause for concern when they don't have it covered. Then they just reheat it in the microwave. So that's not exactly ideal. Despite that I'd go again. It was good and not too expensive.

TBH, this place is hit or miss. Bf tried to convince me for a long time that their steak dinner…read moreslaps. I was skeptical because who offers steak dinners with a salad, potato, AND a soda for under $30??!?? HOW good could this steak possibly be!?!? Well, we get to the spot and it's like a deli. Reminds me of a soup kitchen. You line up and you order. We went at night and the guy cooking our steak pounded it out before grilling it. Ok, it was actually not bad. Ut was a little fatty, but it was tender enough and actually quite hearty and filling. The baked potato is really good. The salad is not, but it's not like you are paying more for it. A water washes it all down. We have been back here a few times since. The cook at night is a better cook than the one who works the day shift. While it isn't the most amazing meal you will have, nor is it really a place to take a date, it's a good meal to kick it with the homies after a night out at MSG or drinking.

This place is close by my office and I was in a pinch so decided to pick up a quick bite. They have…read morea lot of different types of food to choose from between fried chicken, pizza, burgers, Mexican and even Indian food. The prices were good and they had some cool combos too. I overcame my indecisiveness and landed on a chicken burrito. Big mistake because this might be a contender for worst burrito I've ever had. Literally was just chicken, rice and beans. Super dry, no flavor, not even cheese?? Lettuce? Luckily they gave me green sauce on the side which added a smidge of flavor but definitely not enough. They didn't wrap it in foil so it fell apart immediately and I think they used chicken they put inside was half inedible cartilage and bones. Maybe their other menu items are better but definitely stay away from the burrito - there are better spots for that nearby.

I loved this spot and rate it third behind Mido's and Adel's for all of the halal carts I've tried…read more The rice is perfectly cooked, and I loved the charred flavor of the tandoori chicken. Green sauce is a must. Lace it with that shit. This was quite addicting, balanced, and not as in your face as the flavors of Adels and Midos. Which I don't mind. This feels lighter. No line ever, and it's quality. If I lived in NYC this would be a staple for me.

If you're expecting a cute aesthetic and polished service, this isn't it fam but that's part of the charm and honestly, I loved it. Plenty of seating and even a downstairs area when it gets busy. The food is made fresh daily and displayed up front which I always take as a good sign. You order at the front and they bring it out to you. We got the aloo gosht and chicken karahi with naan which was an easy 8.5/10. This tasted like home. Super authentic, warm, and comforting. The naan is made fresh, portions are generous and they're definitely not stingy with the meat. We left with very happy bellies.

Biryani was very good in terms of properly cooked as usually people add red chili powder on the top their try to make it spicy but they dont know that it destroys the taste on the other hand this biryani was properly cooked and spices were properly marinated. All in all a very good alternative if you are in newyork.

I'm sooo addicted to this place. If I could eat here everyday I would. It's cheap, portions are…read moregenerous and taste is always bang on. I know understand why many Indian people are vegetarian. They make damn good vegetables. They got it right. I love the chicken peas masala and they also have a spinach lentil dish with is amazing. I usually take them with rice. The people there are fast and friendly. They really know me know I go three times a week. It's fast food at its best hidden away at the back of a pizza place. They have chicken dishes that are very good also such as curry chicken or butter chicken but I usually opt for my favs! If you like Indian food stop by!

Lasani cured a whole day's worth of exhaustion from work…read more Open into the wee hours, Lasani provides no-fuss Pakistani bowls and platters. Prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and food is made on the spot. It does take a while for the food to be prepared, but it is so worth it because the flavors of their chicken tikka were phenomenal. Although I had Indian food before, I never tried Pakistani food and it did not disappoint. Based on what I ordered, it's more smokey and uses less spices than Indian food, yet it packs just as much flavor. I'm excited to try more Pakistani cuisine in the future! Lasani already set a high bar -- can't wait to see what else is in store.
