    Karak cheese steak special with fries and drink
    Daniel Y.

    Yes to more spots like this in the area! Karak is an unassuming cafe in a small suburban plaza with some familiar but different food options. I came for some chai, but was surprised to see some American, Indian, and slightly fusion food menu items. Rolls, sandwiches, and some sweets all keep me coming back. Everything from cheesesteak sandwiches (philly), tandoori chicken sandwich, and roti rolls make this place stand out. The fries are sooooo good. You don't want to skip those! Interior is small, but there are some tables and the staff is very friendly. I've come a number of times, and they're very kind and genuinely seem to care that the food and drink are pleasing.

    We had high hopes and were looking forward to some really good chai. Unfortunately this place was disappointing. We got a chicken kofte roll, 1 doodh pathi, and 1 samosa chaat. It took about 15 for the roll to come out and then another 10-15 minutes for the samosa chaat out and they literally forgot the doodh pathi until we asked about it at the end. The excuse was that they were making it from scratch? The roll was decent, really just tasted and felt like they got the ingredients from Patel Brothers and threw it together. Same with the somosa chaat, which didn't even have a samosa. It was just one deconstructed samosa crushed along the plate and covered in yogurt and some chutneys. There was more chickpeas than samosa. Both dishes were something I'd expect to put together at home last minute if a guest showed up unannounced and even then i'd be embarrassed to serve this stuff. We got the doodh pathi finally as we were heading out and we expected a soothing drink of tea leaves brewed in milk. Unfortunately all you taste is milk. Wouldn't recommend

    First time at the Karak Cafe with my wife! Been driving past this cafe for a few days and today we decided to try it. Upon entry you can see the cafe has been recently renovated - simple tables and very soothing atmosphere along with calming music which makes it easy to speak. The customer service was very lovely the gentleman described all of the top sellers and made it easy for us to order. We ordered a Karak Chai, Maskaa Bun with honey, Samosa Chaat, and Baklava. The overall quality of the food and price is very reasonable - I definitely recommend this spot to all.

    Walking in we were instantly greeted by a beautiful and sweet lady. Who gave us a free sample to try a smoothie, and a detailed menu overview! The place is clean and looks beautifully modern. Our family got a mango smoothie, Monsoon Dragon Rush, and a Thanda Starfruit Burst. Which was delicious and as bold as the color of the drinks!, Also a great price! I will be coming back to try the coffee it smelled soo good!!

He order the beef and rice with broccoli and the meat was COLD and very hard the chew. The only thing that he liked was the rice which was hot. He love the beef won tons because of the spicy chile. It was so upset that the soup had no flavor I put so much salt and also a pack of soy sauce which I never put soy sauce on anything I even Added the chile it look Like the cook took a bucket full of dirty wash water and served it to me the noodle had no flavor. The server was always on her phone. I asked her so many times to removed the dirty plates from the table and she completely ignored us. The ambiance was empty just a few orders to go. I feel SAD that I took an hour drive to be so disappointed at the horrible tasting food and also the bad service

I ordered online for carry out and the platform was easy to navigate. Once my husband and I arrived at the resto we were greeted by a very kind staff member. Our food wasn't ready but within 5 mins of us being there it was good to go. We tried the wonton soup and chicken dumplings app. Both were on the bland side. Normally I'm used to wonton soup also having noodles and theirs does not. Flavors were OK, felt like both dishes were missing spices. Everything was cooked perfectly though. Maybe we ordered the wrong items from here and need to try others instead.

From start to finish, everything felt welcoming and well put together. We ordered the Chunchvara Dumplings along with two pieces each of their chocolate cake and honey cake--and every single item was absolutely delicious. The dumplings were flavorful and perfectly prepared, while the desserts were rich, fresh, and incredibly satisfying without being overwhelming. What really stood out was the tremendous customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the pickup process smooth and pleasant. Even during a quick visit, their hospitality made a lasting impression. The ambiance of the restaurant also deserves recognition--it's beautifully lit and has a calm, peaceful atmosphere that makes you want to come back and dine in next time. Overall, a fantastic experience. We'll definitely be returning and highly recommend Anjir Halal Restaurant to everyone looking for great food and excellent service!

Last time I went to the taqueria I noticed that a new restaurant was in the works, all the way back behind the bakery. I spoke with the lady and confirmed it was going to be pan-Asian food and all halal! She told me the opening date was November 1st. Today I stopped in, and sure enough it was open. The lady (who I believe is Yola) told me they planned to rotate dishes and will include various Asian dishes, like Thai food. Today they had fried rice, crispy noodles, shrimp, fried chicken drumsticks/wings, chicken lollipop, and diced chicken & potatoes. They even had duck! It all looked good, but I decided to try fried rice with the diced chicken & potatoes, along with a few pieces of chicken lollipop (which is like fried chicken on a stick, or bone). I brought the food to my parent's house for a family dinner. I really enjoyed the food. The fried rice wasn't out of this world, but the chicken lollipop was really good and the chicken & potato dish was pretty good. I love Asian food, so I'm stoked about having a halal option. The food was sold by weight, and I feel we got a decent value. This isn't a place you can go to for a nice dinner out, but a good takeout option. Looking forward to trying other dishes here.
