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

Madiha S.

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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, the food was quite bland. We had specifically asked for medium heat, so the lack of flavor did not seem related to spice level. We were a group of six, and gratuity was automatically added, calculated on top of the sales tax. The ambiance was pleasant and the setting was nice, but the food itself was disappointing.

We were greeted right away and offered our choice of table, we sat by the window. We ordered the saag paneer, rice and garlic naan to share. The food came out quickly, but not too fast. Everything was wonderful. That naan...oh my! They have many varieties and I can't wait to try more. They have a lunch special and happy hour all day until 6pm (1/2 off all drinks). I will be back for a glass of wine and a couple orders of the different naan choices. Our server Jennifer was so friendly. With Bollywood videos playing in the background and the wonderful food, this is a great place to escape the bustle of old town and relax.

I was fairly sure I had given this place 5 stars in the past, and posted photos. But alas, I don't see a review from me. So here it is... 5 stars! I'm sorry that I don't even have pictures, usually we just get the food To Go and bring it home, then get to eating. I love their hummus, it's so creamy and smooth! We generally order the combo plate with kabobs of grilled chicken pieces, ground chicken, and beef/lamb. This comes with delicious basmati rice, small salad, grilled onion & tomatoes, hummus, and a piece of pita bread. I also like to try a different item each time and I think the pecan baklava is awesome so I usually get that too. We've been coming here for years, I think we ate inside the restaurant just once or twice. It's clean and plenty of seating and the staff are friendly. Next time I'll take pictures and post them. I'll definitely be coming back.
