We arrived 15 mins prior to our reservation time at the restaurant and the hostess told us to wait as the very specific table wasn't yet empty and customers were still eating there, not to mention I found it very odd that there was a specific table we had to wait for when there were plenty of other empty tables that we could have easily been seated at but whatever. Which to me is a poor way of building buffer time in between reservations. So come 7:30 they had to ask the customers that were there to leave as we had been waiting. So we finally get seated around 7:30 for a table of 4. We promptly decide what we're going to order. We ordered the Samosa Chaat, Peshawari Karahi, Beef Bihari Boti, Chicken Karahi and the Chicken Handi. Our food arrived within a reasonable time. The samosa chaat was okay nothing to write home about. 2 of the 4 dishes that we ordered were raw and undercooked which was the Peshawari chicken and beef Bihari boti. We flagged it to the waitstaff and while they were nice enough to take it off the bill and not change us that's still not what I expect from a well talked about restaurant in the area. After the food we also ordered Kashmiri chai which also I have had better. Honestly if you're looking for a Pakistani restaurant that isn't in jackson heights then I'd recommend going to chai Chenak over this restaurant as they have better quality food and chai is also better. Not To mention that the price for some of these dishes were high for the quality of the food. So overall won't be returning and wouldn't recommend. read more

This restaurant is not ideal for groups(5+) the food serving size is small and everything is overpriced! I would not recommend this place for large families only couples. Service charge is high customer service is average. Sitting area is tight not spacious. read more

Delicious delicacies especially lamb chops, boti kebab, chapli kebab and matka ghost. Mint mojito in drinks and falooda in desserts It will be better if you can provide a small bowl or plate for the matka ghost curry :) P.S - Must go restaurant read more

Ok we went to this restaurant after making reservations recently as soooo much hoopla was being made. I remember reading somewhere that the "the wait is over"....Seriously , the wait for what mediocre food that you get better in Jackson Heights or Coney Island avenue? Are you kidding me??? I don't want to sound harsh but after being seated promptly everything went down hill....Our waiter was MIA as we waited about 20 mins until someone approached us...that is because we grabbed the attention of another employee. Mind you this all happened in the presence of the owners or managers that were constantly walking up and down the restaurant but not once realized our wait. When we finally got our order in, it took about 40mins for the food too touch our table....with our waiter telling us the restaurant was busy....mind you aside from us they have 4 more tables that already were done eating. The food...fish and chips, gol gappa (stale), charga that had no spice, keema was decent ( you can sense Shaan masala) , and we also got a dish that was cooked in a handi...seriously I was looking meat but got all bones....Even though we voiced our concern not once did a supervisor or manager apologize or make things better. We don't want freebies just good service and communication. Yelp has them listed as professionals but I was confused with that one.....I wish them the best of luck and hope this honest review will help them improve....(fyi---get rid of the guy host....too much arrogance). read more

The food was great. However, we enjoy a glass of wine when dining out so we were very disappointed in the fact that due to their religious beliefs that we were not allowed to open the bottle that we brought. While I respect another's religious beliefs, I am not crazy about someone else's being imposed on me. Will not return. read more

Place was nice but i dont see myself going there ever again ...my first and last time ..reasons being i never received my full order we waited for the main dish (chicken kharai) and never received it so we cancelled the order. we then asked for it to go and they said it wasn't possible . We had chapli kababs and malai boti only it tasted good. The aloo papri chaat is too sweet didnt like that.The Ras Malai is like eating a mattress foam! The place is pricey they deduct their own service fee in the receipt. Given that we didnt even get all the food that we ordered i don't understand why we paid a service fee. Overall I personally wasnt happy with the place. read more

Food is good , and staff is nice , it was easy and fast services we ate pani puri it was presented very well even chicken Halim was delicious ,this was our first time visit to this place can't wait to go again read more

Best Pakistani food I've ever had in NJ. The Bihari boti is tender and flavorful. The Namkeen Karahi also has incredible flavor. Would definitely recommend read more

Great restaurant. The food is amazing and the service is wonderful. They get really busy, so make sure you go with a reservation!

My family and I came here on a busy Sunday night, the restaurant did their best to accommodate us. They didn't turn us away and was super nice. It was overwhelmingly busy but they were attentive to everyone, including the people waiting. We waited about 30-40mins and it was totally worth it. We ordered the Chicken Karahi, chicken makhni, biryani, and garlic naan. Everything was delicious! Our server was DylAn he was super nice and attentive. Definitely coming back here! The chicken Karahi is a must try!!! read more

First time trying this restaurant out and it was very good. Slightly pricey but the food quality and cleanliness of the restaurant itself makes up for it. The decor is FANTASTIC and the place was IMPECCABLY clean. I know they are new and probably still going through initial growing pains but I will definitely go back again. read more

Such delicious authentic Pakistani food, close to home. My parents are hard to please and they genuinely enjoyed the whole experience of dining here. The decor and atmosphere inside is very nice and the service was great. The owners and servers both were very polite and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious and the drinks were so tasty. And the desserts? Fantasic! My family and I will be regulars here and I have also recommended the place to many American friends also. read more

I'm giving 2-stars only because when I ordered from here back in November 2021 the food was pretty good. I ordered Dhal and it tasted like paste. And it stank. I ordered lamb kebabs and they stank too, and were chewy and dull and tasteless. I ordered the lamb chops and it was the same deal - an awful stench, a chewy foul taste, with an aftertaste that was scented of ammonia, combined with a most decidedly unpleasant sensation as I swallowed. I ordered the fish appetizer and I've had better fish at McDonalds. I got french fries with one of my appetizers and they were stiff cold and tasteless. I ordered Garlic Naan bread and that was dull, tasteless and cold too. I'd give this experience one star, but, to be fair, when I did takeout here back in November, 2021, it was a pleasant experience and the food was tasty. I don't know what happened, but as of now I won't go back and I don't recommend it at all. read more

This restaurant is amazing !!! I loved every single dish I ordered. The staff was amazing. They just opened & have a lot of business, rightfully so! There was a long wait as they are taking customers first come first serve. I waited over an hour but it was definitely worth the wait. Their recipes are to die for! Definitely give it a try! The staff is all so polite & caring! 5 STARSSS !!!! read more

I was there early at 1150am. They let me in and allowed seating of my choice. I was informed that food would take slightly longer due to my early arrival and I was ok with that. Ordered chicken makhani handi. Was not disappointed. The best chicken I have had in the United States so far. Please learn from this chef. Amazing food. Returned the next day for some more. Amazed again. read more

Wait time was about 50 min . No water drinking glasses were given to even have water. Had to be requested from the unprofessional servers. We're trying to offer me a table which was for 2 people to sit 3 people and that was also shown as a favor on us . We ordered kulfi falooda .. no falooda was there heights of pathetic service and don't care a damn for customer attitude! Improve your service like your food or you will out of business sooner or later read more

Good food! Definitely recommend! Overall 10/10 experience! Food was good and so were the aesthetics. Staff was good as well!

Highly recommend going to Lahore Restaurant! It is the perfect place to go with family and friends. The staff is very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Atmosphere is wonderful (great decor, great music) and the food was 10/10. I tried the samosa chat and lahori fish as appetizers followed by white chicken karhai with garlic and chilli naans and the chicken botis. Their mint and mango mojitos were also delicious! Definitely try out this restaurant and you won't regret it! read more

This was my second time ordering from Lahore restaurant and I felt compelled to write a review this time since the food was so authentic and fresh. I almost felt like I was eating in Lahore both times with the taste of spices so original. Even placing the order was very convenient and friendly service at the restaurant. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu! Amazing prices as well ... can't go wrong ordering from here when you are looking for quality desi food to satisfy your tastebuds... Absolutely delicious food, naan breads and desserts! read more

This place is really good, mouth watering even, if u ever happen to be in the area, this is a must try, honestly it's even worth it drive for hours just to eat here, I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to try something new read more

This restaurant is amazing. The ambience and decor is beautiful and the food is great! It's the best and most authentic pakistani restaurant in jersey. The service is quick. The food is fresh. And the vibes are perfect. Definitely going to visit at least every week. read more

We just recently came from Lahore. My mom, sister and I all felt the good vibes and positive energy here. The space is so cozy and comfortable, with the relaxed seating and artwork. The attention to detail is apparent with a gol-gappay charpai! SO CUTE. The service is exceptional, and the chicken makhni hand as well as the sesame naan were out of this world! The falooda and kheer were the perfect end to a dinner well-done. Alhamdulillah. The greatest thing was the management coming to our table to ask us for our detailed feedback. We know they're going to make it big, in sha Allah! We drove from Long Island, and we'll definitely be back in sha Allah. May Allah Grant this new venture His Extra Special Barakah :) Ameen! read more

I went to this restaurant the freshness of food and quality of food that is impossible to find in nyc Jackson heights Lahore has it there bbq was very good and the marination was on point read more

Amazing! People writing Yelp reviews are being unfair. The food is the best I've had, the service is amazing (Dylan was my server, he showed me how amazing a dining experience could be) The prices are great considering how high quality and fresh the food is, and the unique, colorful atmosphere really enhanced the experience. The charsi Kahari, gol gappay, chicken makni handi, lahori fish, and falooda are among the best dishes I had there. read more

Amazing spot for traditional food. Love the ambiance and customer service. This probably is my 3rd time dining in and food taste is always up to the standards. Highly recommend. (Better than many other desi restaurants in town) read more

Great appetisers especially the chapli kebab and lamb chops. I would say the chilli naan would be loved by anyone who loves extreme spice with some Lahori Tawa Kheema. The kheer was exceptional but the falooda a little syrupy. I old had the non-vegetarian food so it was amazing. The lack of vegetarian options left my vegetarian friends a little disappointed. Hence the four stars. For a meat lover it's an easy five. read more

This is an amazing place for meat lovers, with some interesting flavors and options. Although, not many options for veg

First time in Lahore Restaurant and YOU have to go! It's the cutest little spot with amazing food. The Sajji and sheek kabab and kadai naan were so soft is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience. Nicky is great she was so amazing . read more

Lahore Restaurant...where do I begin! Well for starters, I've been there a few times. My parents were even present at the grand-opening for the restaurant. So now you all will understand that my family and I are regulars here and we try to support local Pakistani restaurants. I was there a week ago and immediately after leaving, I decided to make reservations for my father's birthday dinner at Lahore Restaurant for my entire family. I spoke to Daniyal on the phone on 11/21/21 and he confirmed my reservation for a party of 6 and he also suggested that we get the table closest to the window as it can accommodate a large party easily by connecting two tables. I agreed and we had the reservation all set for today 11/27/21 at 6pm for the larger table near the front entrance. Yesterday, I called again to reconfirm and spoke to one of the girls. I just wanted to make sure everything will go smoothly since it was my father's birthday dinner. We arrived 5-10 minutes early and immediately I noticed that the table we had reserved with Daniyal a week in advance, was occupied by another party. Still no worries, I figured we'll sit at another location that can accommodate a large party. Then I get escorted to a small table near the bathrooms. The table was for a party of 4 and the girl said that's our table. Mind you, there was 6 of us including my sister-in-law who's pregnant and wouldn't have been comfortable or been able to fit at a table of 4. So I kindly explained to the girl that there's some sort of mistake because there's no way 6 of us will fit at a table for 4 and that we were reserved for the table near the entrance that'll accommodate all of us. The girl instead said that's not her fault and that we had to sit there because that's what they had available. Well then I spoke to the owner himself and even explained that you cannot seat a party of 6 at a table of 4. Especially when I made the reservations a week in advance with his brother, Daniyal! He tried to bring up another small table to attach to the table there already but again, why should my family have to sit near the bathroom and deal with all this when we had reservations a week in advance and the person who confirmed the reservations was the owners own brother? I especially didn't like the girl trying to act as if it was somehow our fault that they gave our table away to another large party. After this experience, neither I or anyone in my family will be going here again. I feel like now that they have a steady stream of customers, they don't care for providing the service. Christine had been my server the day I made the reservations and she was there today trying to tell the other girl and the owner that I did make the reservations for that table in the front but the other girl didn't care to listen to her. That's the whole point of reservations....so when a large party comes in, you already have a heads-ups and accommodate them. But here you as a restaurant failed terribly in customer service and then holding up to the reservation system. I'm highly disappointed because my family and I decided to leave. I would never give my business to anyone who treats loyal customers like this when they have reservations well in advance! Very unprofessional! read more

A complete joke. First and last "dine in" restaurant that actually charges for basic water. And that's after asking for it almost 3/4 times.. you will definitely need a lot of it as they will give you "reheated" food as confirmed by the servers!!! I was told to order in advance because it was a busy Saturday evening, even though once again there entire online reservation system was down and when I called in to make a reservation, they said it's all walk in only for the day. As soon as I was seated, they brought everything out together, all appetizers and All main entrees even though they couldn't even fit 50% of the plates on the table.LOL. This is all before we were even served basic water!!! They ended up talking half the dishes back and a few minutes later, brought it back out only to tell us everything was reheated and the naans were completely dry/flaky as they couldn't care about us at all. We were told specially to hurry up and eat and they had other reservations coming in BUT most other tables were there way before us and were given full freedom to sit and do as they like. Very unfair and very unprofessional. read more
