    Chicken Tikka With Bone
    Eimy B.

    Food is made fresh! I love it here. Staff is down to earth. The restaurant is always clean. You go to the front and place your order. They take your name so once it's ready they call you. You find your own seating. I probably go here everyday because it's so good.

    Kabob N Karahi will always be one of my favorite restaurants I visit, you'll never go wrong with spicy chicken boneless Karahi with rice and chickpeas. The employees are awesome and I continue to visit weekly!

    Chick Karachi
    Tony P.

    This place is a staple in the household with at minimum one visit per week. The food is tasty, aromatic, and just authentic Paki at its best. The chicken Karachi is among the best I've had. The nan is better to get there for dinning in to ensure this whole new level crispiness only possible fresh out of the salt oven.

    Very good kabob place with great value. I got a kabob with Tika bone on chicken and seekha. The kebab comes rice and chickpeas and a salad. They also come tandoori bread. My friends got a special of a beef shank. It came with same sides The kabob was very good right balance of heat and seasoning. The seekha was nice and juicy and tender. Pairs perfectly with the bread that you get with the meal. The chicken comes out charred from the grill so you get an added flavor profile of that. You get 4 pieces of chicken a drum and 3 smaller pieces. Chicken was great it was juicy and tender. Hotter than the other pieces which I liked. Chickpeas and rice has sauce with it that is savory not spicy just great flavor. The beef shank was super tender it was served with gravy it was cooked in. Broke apart easily friends said was great. Service was nice and quick you give your order at the counter and then you get buzzer to tell you when its ready. Nice interior and its got a lot of tables and booths.

    Not enough chicken for biryani

    Came here for the first time for lunch on a weekend with a couple of friends. Hubby and I ordered their Karahi combo that came with 2 pieces of naan, some romaine lettuce, onions, and a couple pieces of lime with their cilantro chutney sauce. Ordered two bottles of water and balance was approximately a little under $40. What's hot - Quality. Pretty delicious. Everything was made shortly after we ordered, so our food was served hot. Their naan bread is warm and soft and is wonderful in pairing up with their dishes. Their curries are deliciously seasoned. Be prepared for their spice level not to match what you would like. My husband has a high tolerance for spicy foods and he ordered their spiciest level, which wasn't enough for him. - Menu. Something for everyone, including vegans. - Price. Pretty good value for money. For under $40 for a meal for 2, it was pretty good. - Location. Conveniently located in a plaza with other shops and restaurants. However, be prepared for traffic in this area. What's not - No soda/water fountain. They don't have a soda fountain, so you have to buy their drinks or bring your own. That also means once you've finished, you can't refill. I don't like that, because I brought my own water bottle and once we were finished, we couldn't fill up more water. Not cool, because it unnecessarily adds to the cost and is inconvenient. - Cleanliness. Our booth table was dirty when we arrived. I was the one who initially grabbed a few napkins to wipe off our table. The entire time we were there, which was probably over one hour, I saw their staff come out once to clean their tables. I'm not sure what their staffing situation is like, but they don't appear to be adequately staffed to handle a restaurant full of customers. - Parking. This plaza appears busy, so be mindful when parking in their parking lot. Many people don't appear to pay attention to other drivers and their surroundings. As a result, many people park awkwardly and/or it looks like accidents can easily happen in the parking lot, because they don't pay attention. Final Answer Would like to come back.

    I would have loved to show you the food but it was too good; I ate it all too fast. But you can see the onions I guess

    Amazing experience, the BEST itis. Flavors were on point, savory, so filling, and spicy, but not too hot. Added bonus cashier was really sweet. The restaurant was very chill, not too busy service was fast, food came hot. I got the chat samosa and mango lassi. Both were impeccable. Honestly I've been wanting to try this place for a while. You will not regret going!!! Only comment is that the onions were cut a little big but honestly I don't even care it was too good to care

    Lahori Choley  Garden Salad Vegetable
    Shafiq A.

    This is a classic place to get desi food. They've been around for a while and are an established part of the community. Offering halal food and really rich foods, this place is great! We got the goat karahi, choley and a chicken kabob which were really good. The karahi is always best to share with two people. Only complaint is that they should give more bread with the karahi. The restaurant has the old and new areas the new part is a little more classier where families tend to go sit at. The older is more hole in the wall feel with the sticky tables. Overall a great experience and great food!

    mixed plate (vegetable curry, chickpeas, salad and bread)
    Victoria S.

    This restaurant offer traditional Pakistani and Indian style cuisine. The ordering is done at the cash register in the back. If getting takeaway one waits for their name/order to be called out near the register. If dining in a staff member brings the food on a tray to your table. Next to the register is a rotating buffet of curries and salads. The rest of the menu items are cooked upon ordering. We opted for the vegetarian items in the buffet scooped up by a person behind the counter. He also helped us identify them. I had the spicy chickpeas along with a serving of potatoes, cauliflower and peas. I opted for rice. My companion had the same vegetable options sans rice (with double portion of veggie curry instead). Both dinners came with raw onion salad, yogurt dressing and fresh tandoor oven bread. Everything was delicious. The basmati rice was fluffy. The bread was warm, with chewiness and some crisp. The chickpeas were spicy but not overwhelming. The vegetable curry was flavorful without being too salty. The restaurant also has a dispenser for water and complimentary cups (as well as utensils and napkins). Great new find!

    In terms of great tasting food, Minerva (at intersection of 355 and Shady Grove) is a fantastic restaurant. Highly recommend a weekend buffet.

We were able to snag a table for Valentine's Day evening on their website and they did NOT overbook - we were seated within 5 mins. of arriving.

We were very hungry but decided on 4 smaller plates, which was exactly the right amount of food. Highly recommend their Crab Kathi Roll appetizer, the Crispy Spinach with Dates, the Chicken Cafreal and the Eggplant Fritters - although the mild spicing and flavor of the eggplant was outshone by the other robustly flavored items; still tasty though.

We were headed to Amber Spice for a late lunch, and fortunately, we made it in before the 2:45pm cutoff (I called ahead to check). Since it was almost lunch closing, they did request that we place our orders soon after being seated. We already knew what we wanted to order, so we didn't feel rushed otherwise. We started with the veggie samosas ($6, two pieces), which were served with the traditional tamarind sauce and spicy cilantro chutney. The samosas were packed with the potato and pea filling and had a lightly crisp exterior. They were as good as any. For my entree, I ordered the butter chicken ($20), which is served with a side of basmati rice. When ordering, the waiter didn't ask about spice level. I did find their butter chicken to have some heat to it, but it wasn't anything crazy - I'd say a 3/10 for spiciness - I felt the warmth. The chicken was super tender and moist. I would be happy getting this again. I also ordered the garlic naan ($5), because you have to have something to sop up the curry goodness. The naan was hot and fresh; you could also taste the garlic. One basket came with four pieces (one whole naan), which is perfect for sharing. I finished the meal with the gulab jamun ($6) for dessert which came with three pieces of the fried dough balls served in a sweet syrup. My friend ordered the mango kulfi and loved it! She described it as a mango lassi, but frozen, which made it that much more light and refreshing. Amber Spice is a casual dining spot and it has the service to match. We were brought a carafe of water for the table to start, so it was self-serve the rest of the way. Food was brought out quickly and plates were cleared at the end, but we weren't checked on during the meal. Perhaps since we arrived near lunch closing, service was winding down, but we got what we needed. I enjoyed the food here and would come again. Everything that we had was not only super tasty, but also reasonably priced. There's also plenty of parking in the shopping center.
