Purri bread- MY GOD!!! Delicious!!
Nikole G.

What went well?? EVERYTHING!!!! I've driven by this spot so many times and never even considered going in- I've wronged myself! I've in all honesty been missing out!! This place is delicious!!! HANDS DOWN DELICIOUS!!!! Gone in the wind is any diet idea! I'm being pleased with this food! Even the juice drinks are top notch! Everyone working here is sweet! I love it here and never want to leave! It's a buffet, but I couldn't bring myself to take pics of my plates, but I ate them too fast! Everything is FANTASTIC!

Beef Sheesh Kabab Biryani Rice
Sabrina K.

Hands down the best Pakistani/Afghani/Indian food I've ever had at a restaurant-- very much like home cooking. There are so many options to choose from on the menu. Everything we tried was so well flavored and the meats were all perfectly tender. We got the chicken boti with white rice, sheesh kebab with biryani, and nihari with garlic naan. For drinks, we tried their mango lassi, black tea, and chai. We were very impressed. The hostess was very kind and diligently checked on us multiple times during our meal. The ambiance is also nice--very homey/cozy. And finally, the cost is very very reasonable--you get so much (both in quantity and quality). Highly recommend to anyone looking for halal food in Phoenix. To the locals--you're lucky to have this spot! And to the travelers, don't pass up an opportunity to try them out!

Baked Eggplant
Roni K.

First stop on Wednesday for lunch... had to bring friends back on Saturday! Very good food . We tried buttered chicken- flavorful with good portion of chicken, baked eggplant- butter soft with a hint if spice- eggplant shone through; palak paneer- great flavor.. very smooth; lentil main- a little soupy but added to afghani rice was perfect. Service was great- checked on us to make certain spice level and flavor good. Ambiance is nice with traditional music, art and rugs on walls. O my frequent list. Side note: a large non-profit was meeting after we left. They accommodated an entire conference !!!

Chicken Handi
Dez N.

Wow! What a great way to experience Indian Cuisine for the first time! Amazing 10/10 service and food I could not wait to grab a bite I had to pull over to a park to enjoy my dinner.. the cheese naan is to die for the chicken tikka masala and the chicken handi were all phenomenal

The town's best barbecue nights and Pakistani cuisine. Hilal Grill is a great place to go if you're craving real Pakistani food in Arizona. The owners are amazing and sweetest people Try the Friday night tandoori grill and Sunday buffet, which have a lovely atmosphere and delectable fare.

Ordered delivery. Entrees do not come with rice or naan. Very disappointing having only butter chicken without rice or naan.

We arrived around evening, and this place is rarer places to have buffet open in evening. Good selection and lamb and chicken tikka masala.

Had Goat Karahi.. goat wasn't cooked properly. Its was so strong to even bite. Also had a very strong tomato flavour. Totally uneatable.

Way over priced. Paid $10 for a handful of garbanzo beans swimming in a bland sauce.

You know this place is legit because you see lots of Afghan families eating here regularly. And no…read morematter what you do, order the hummus. Trust me. Their naan is reminiscent of pizza dough. It's always fresh and it's baked in-house in their tandoori oven. It's probably some of the best naan ever. And the hummus is thick. I was there yesterday and unfortunately there was a strand of hair in my food. It was a little unsettling to hear the server say "again?!?!!", but he promptly took it away, replaced it, and comped my meal. Despite the slight hiccup, I still enjoy this place. And I appreciate the good service. The portions are huge so it's better to share with someone or plan on taking leftovers. I like their mantoo and their kubli pulao. If you're with a group of people, it looked like the family meals were the best value. The parking lot is small, so plan on parking on a side street if the spaces are all taken. Afghan food is similar to Greek food so don't feel intimidated. And the server is awesome at guiding newbies at getting dishes that will suit your palette.

I have been coming over for many years and it's always a fabulous meal. The taste is always great…read morewithout exception and I highly recommend it. Our favorite dish is meant too, these wonderful little dumplings. They go quite well with spinach. I also ordered the lamb shank this time and it is so tasty; it had obviously been slow cooked, and it was very tender. The ambience is fine. Afghan things hang on the wall nothing really to comment about. The service is great. It's a family business and they really do take care of you. I don't think anybody would go wrong by trying a meal here.
