Stopped into Lahori Chili because we were craving some spice. This location seems small but it's packed with delicious Pakistani Halal food. Take out or dine in, the choice is yours. We started with samosas, two types; vegetable and chicken. These savory pastries were packed with well season veggies and chicken. The crust was light, flaky and perfectly crispy. The Lamb shanks was so tender, the meat fell of the bone. The spinach and paneer, a homemade cheese, paired well with the shank and vegetable fried rice. This spicy concoction cut through the heaviness of the meat dishes like a butter knife. The combination of flavors complimented each other and balanced the meal perfectly. The chai tea is a must. The original, smells and tastes like warm caramel. The "Kashmir chai" is an acquired taste. Less flavor intense than the regular chai but the pretty pink color adorned with shaved pistachio was a hit for the kids. If you still have room, carrot pudding, basil seed sherbet, assorted fudge and sweets are at your fingertips. Prices are reasonable, won't break the bank. I guarantee you will enjoy the experience. read more

I come here with deep guilt and shame because it is unfathomable to me how I have still not written about my every day go to place off the bustling Coney Island Avenue. A true institution in Little Pakistan, Lahori Chilli is an iconic restaurant nestled in the very busy row of neighborhood staples off of Foster Ave. This is a no-frills place serving up every day Pakistani cuisine in a Homey setting. There are booths for your comfort or an adjacent dining hall if you're here with family. They have some hot items almost every day that you can choose from, visible through the greasy glass of the display case. The sweets here are very very good, I particularly enjoy their falooda. Recently also sampled their gulab jamun, and they were to die for. Another dish they are super well known for is their battered masala fish fillet. This is something you have to dine in for to truly appreciate. It comes piping hot, crispy, and with just the perfect amount of masala dusting on top. A true culinary gem if you ask me. It has no bones and the crispy batter is the lightly crunchy without being super oily or greasy like a lot of other fried fish. The fish inside is moist, has no smell and is flaky. It is absolute perfection. Other things I absolutely love on their menu are their chicken seekh kababs and their kofta curry. Those two are usually my go to when I'm ordering food to go or delivery. I do want to give some feedback on a few things though. First of all, it's a little annoying that all the meat dishes are chicken only like I would like to see beef or lamb chapli kabab and seekh kabab. Why is the keema aloo chicken only? I wanna see lamb keema and beef keema on the menu. I also have noticed with some of the items that are in the buffet, they can have that smell sometimes that tells you that the food has been sitting out and not kept at the recommended temperature. A lot of food I order from the glass case goes bad the next day. I need the owner to implement better food safety. We also need more cleanliness around the dining area and spruce up the entrance a bit so people who are not local and privvy to desi food can have a clean and quality hole in the wall dining experience. Either way this restaurant is a place that I continue to frequent year after year. Thank you for feeding and nourishing this community. read more

The food here is delicious. If you're a little curious and want to explore a new cuisine (Pakistani), this is a place to go. They have a wide variety of meats, breads, and sides. They also have Pakistani sweets which I didn't try but I heard it's very tasty. You can either order to go or be seated for table service. Staff is quick to take your order to get you in and out. It's a relaxed atmosphere just like being at home but like your backyard. Meals are considerably affordable so it won't put a dent in your wallet. I recommend trying this place. read more

I know this is a cliche at this point but this place deserves more than 5 stars. We ordered a ton of food: butter chicken, chaat, biryani, palak paneer, lots of naan, and curry chicken. They even brought out a mild version of the chaat considering we had a toddler with us! The portions were plenty generous and prices you just cant beat. They were out of a few things but that seems to be a testament to their popularity. Everything also came out super fast. By the end of our meal, they gave us these little pudding cups on the house! So kind! On our way out we were going to buy some jalebi--and they just gave it to us. Outstanding humans and easily some of the best food we've had in NYC. Thank you!!! read more

Butter chicken, lamb curry, walking in it always smells delectable in there. Sweets are sooo good too.

Delicious food and nice staff. They gave me complimentary salad and chutney for free.

First time ordering from them. Delivery took around 40mins. This place serves huge portions of deliciously spiced food! Ordered a chicken biryani, halwa puri, garlic naan, 4 chicken shish kebab and 2 samosas. I didn't expect that much food but it was definitely enough to feed 3-4 people. Everything was really good except for the samosas. They were very plain and lacked taste. We got a strawberry jam-like sauce (not sure if it was for the sweets that came with the halwa puri), but it went really well with the chicken shish kebab. read more

I buy food from here often and typically enjoy it, however, the last time I purchased butter chicken - it was spoiled. Today was the Pakistani Mela 2023 and they had guys grilling tandoori chicken/kebabs/chapli kebabs to make $20 platters. - I ordered and the guy proceeded to serve 10 other men standing up behind me, before me, and this is after I said I'd like a platter to go. I told the grill guy I've been waiting here for like 10mins.. - it was thrown into a bag in a rush. - the $20 platter consisted of 2 triangles of naan, one kebab, one chapli kebab and 3 small pieces of tandoori chicken. They didn't make the platter the way they were serving the men nor was what I received worth $20 if I had gone into their store to buy everything separately. Extremely disappointing and I'd hate to think that they chose to give me a half filled platter because I was not Pakistani nor a man. Weird bcuz I literally saw him putting 2 kebabs, multiple slices of naan, at least 5 pieces of chicken and other stuff like sauces for the men they were serving. - they also allowed some older Pakistani lady to touch all the pieces of some fried thing on the grill with her bare hands... that's nasty. read more

Great buffet style food, has been serving the community for decades. Always loud, always bustling. Not fancy at all, but always flavorful. Also excellent value for the quality, everything is priced for the working man. Mostly self-serve, you order at the counter and go sit, they bring you your food within ten minutes. read more

Reading a few reviews I was slightly skeptical/ hesitant to order. I must say I was pleasantly surprised, I placed an order on Uber Eats . The serving was a lot lol I couldn't finish it in one sitting. The Garlic Naan was so good and filling, the Butter Chicken was okay, wish it were spicier as requested. All in all , not bad! read more

Among the best Punjabi food I've had in NYC. I'm vegetarian and they have plenty of great options. The saag is a must, chole/chana is great, and all the daals are on point, though the chana dal is my favorite. All that being said, the parathas are incredible! Like, maybe the best parathas I've had in a restaurant outside of South Asia. I go back and forth between and aloo (potato) and mooli (radish) and I love both. They're HUGE and one pretty much knocks me out for the day. Don't sleep on the halva poori for breakfast - it comes with chole as well and will fill you up for most of the day. Sweet spicy fried everything all at once. Samosas are great. Chaats are fun. I swing by for chai on the regular. Prices are shockingly low. Lahori Chilli zindabad! read more

This was borderline satisfactory meal. The goat was yummy but scant. The lentils were strong and flavorful but one note. The naan while soft and large- seemed to be dabbed in garlic only on one end. The chicken kebab was ok. The yogurt was loose, the samosas just completely potatoey and pakora an oily blob. We ordered a good amount but did not look forward to our leftovers. I'm pretty sure we are one and done. read more

I have had food here often and I'm always satisfied. They have good portions. I have ordered the Haleem many times and have never been disappointed. I also like the aloo paratha here. So delicious.​ a good selection of desserts too. I have enjoyed the falooda. read more

If you're looking for a reason or confirmation that you should order from Lahori Chilli then this is it! What a hidden gem. I'm pretty sure I've passed by it during Uber rides but never really noticed it, it's a little unassuming but don't let that fool you. I saw a few questions on here asking why there are multiple names for their restaurant on delivery apps but then I saw someone say it's because people are more likely to order from an Indian restaurant than a Pakistani one. It actually showed up as 'Indian Flavour' on Ubereats, I didn't realize it was Lahori until I googled the location but that didn't stop me from ordering. I think it's pretty messed up that they're even forced to do that to be honest, their food is more than good enough to stand on its own. I got the Chicken Karahi over rice and a chicken kebab on the side. First thing I noticed was the incredibly thoughtful packaging. They wrapped the to go container in plastic to prevent any type of spillage and included a plate underneath it. They also sent a pretty significantly sized salad wrapped in aluminum and a neatly wrapped mystery sauce. The prices are definitely a bang for your buck, the chicken karahi was only $11 and it was packed. Keep in mind that the prices are cheaper in store so it's definitely worth it. If you prefer boneless chicken then get something else like the tikka masala because the Karahi comes with both dark and white meat. I sometimes get a little weary about ordering boneless chicken because I've had experiences in the past with it being super dry. I was pleasantly surprised with the white meat pieces that were included, they were far from dry. I will say that the review mentioning the karahi needing a bit of salt was accurate. Everything was on point except for that, I didn't mind adding it myself though. As far as the kebab, it was really good and well seasoned. For only $1.63, most definitely a steal, it was one of my favorite parts of the meal. The salad was a refreshing addition. Overall, I'd definitely order again. read more

Best Pakistani food in New York! Farah was very nice and very sweet. Great food, Great service. Make sure to order the beef NIHARI

I've ordered from this place many many times and everything they make is so good. The butter chicken, the samosas, aloo tikka, the haleem, the roti, okra, all amazing. And they don't just add in a crappy salad for free. They give you a beautiful salad with perfectly fresh vegetables. And the staff are so pleasant and kind. I really believe that this is one of the best restaurants in NYC. read more

This is a spot we come back to again and again because the food is so good and reasonably priced. The Chai's always hits the spot. Everything they serve is made with authenticity. Fresh yummy Naan come out right as you sit down. Chutney/ Kheer is amazing. Staff is hard working. You can get caught up in the bad reviews unnecessarily, just go for it and you'll enjoy some great Pakistani food. Extra brownie points for them because they wrapped the food to go so well. The food went flying the back seat of our car but thank god for their amazing packaging. read more

It's not bad but definitely not the best. It satisfies the craving. Everything came well packaged but they did forget my basmati rice, hence the 3 stars. I can see myself ordering from here when I have another craving. read more

The food is excellent. Everyone dealing with the food is great. The place is overall very clean. The atmosphere is very friendly.

First off, this place is a trickster. They have different names on Uber Eats, and each one has a different delivery fee and offerings. I don't understand why Uber never does anything about it. Second, I ordered food from this place, and they sent me food that seemed to be from last night or stored from previous days. It wasn't worth a penny. I ordered Pakoras and Samosas from them, and they were definitely not freshly cooked; it seemed like they were from previous days. Their food made me sick. It's not worth the money at all when they don't care about their customers and the people they are serving. FYI: This is not the first time thing it happened multiple time with multiple orders. So, I have stopped ordering food from them at all. read more

Their food is excellent. I needed food that was filling and refreshing. Their food always makes me feel like this. Think it's alkaline too. Cuz I really can have this food hot and fresh or save it for later it's really has that whole food vibe. Reminds me of my moms food. But please take a chance if your wondering. Their food isn't bad. read more

Ok so for food this place needs to shut down Has B sanitation grade already. Waited for 30 mins for beef nihari when the restaurant was not even crowded. Mind you its a deli. So should be pretty quick. Nihari was served almost room temperature. Naan however were smoking hot But I forgot my handbag on the table. Went back to get it and found everything intact, so an extra star for honesty. read more

Lahori Chilli Restaurant & Sweets - Worst beef nihari. Served room temperature. Naan was smoking hot - Indian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Lahori Chilli is amazing and the staff are very friendly. I never really cared for samosas until I moved a few blocks away and my roommate introduced me. The samosas are made fresh each day and I can't remember the exact cost, but it was around $3 for 3 samosas. Their chutneys and raita sauce serving sizes are generous and can't get enough of that raita. read more

Ordered butter curry chicken and chicken tikka masala over rice. Very authentic and well seasoned :)

First time here and I'm so pleased! They have SO MANY options!!! You go up to the counter and tell them what you want. You can either order full or half. I got the half black lentils $4, half goat nihari $5, half chicken biryani $3 and 2 roti $1. Full size would be larger and twice the price. Next you sit down and they'll bring you a small salad, raita, and water. Next they will bring you your food. I really enjoyed the lentils, it was very hearty, creamy, and filling. I normally don't like nihari but I liked this one a LOT! It was rich in flavor, tender, smokey just the way it should be, and topped with julienned ginger and lemon. So yummy!!!! The chicken biryani was light and tasted homemade, not overloaded with junk like some other restaurants. Asked for a sample of rice pudding at the end, it was amazing! Oh and the waitresses were so sweet! I will def be coming back read more

Super friendly staff, delicious food. The place is opened 24 hours, there is a large selection of desserts and then a large steam counter of foods. I am vegan so, lots of vegan options, not so much for their desserts.. .The people I was with also got the rice pudding and would not shut up about it.. It looked insane and smelled not a beautiful chai. No frills, solid food, great price, friendly folks. read more

Finally posting this review now that I've ordered from here more than a few times! Let me preface by saying I'm from Houston, where we have really good desi/Pakistani food so my standards are pretty high. When i moved to NY I had a pretty hard time finding good Pakistani food. Had been craving nihari and stumbled upon Lahori Chilli Ubereats one night and decided to give them a shot. I did not have very high expectations given my past experience in NY but this place is pretty yummy! The papri chaat was good and really hit the spot. It had a good amount of chutney and yogurt. Only complaint is that some of the papri pieces tasted a little old/stale but it didn't take away from the overall taste/experience The beef nihari was better than I expected, great spice and masala level. Some pieces of meat were a little tough but overall very tasty! Karahi chicken was good, the chicken wasn't dry, and it only needed a little bit of salt. Most recently, their chicken biryani has really been hitting the spot! They also give a good amount of raita (skimping on raita is definitely a pet peeve of mine) Naan was good too, they do put sesame seeds on it which I'm not a fan of but it's not a dealbreaker. If you're craving some good desi food (at any hour of the day), don't sleep on this place, it definitely hits the spot! read more
