07/15/2026: Update: Another great meal at As-Salam! It's…read morethe kind of experience where we turn to each other and say, "We don't come here often enough!" We started with the lentil soup, boiling hot and full of lemon juice and black pepper. Mango lassis for both of us, and when we asked for tap water, we were given an entire pitcher of ice water for the table, with two cups. My husband ordered lamb handi, cubes of tender meat in a thick gravy with tomatoes, onions and green peppers. He had ordered it "Medium spicy", but I think the kitchen was grading on a curve: It was less punchy than the soup. Still, I wouldn't order "Hot" as I once did here: The chef takes pride in his liberal use of peppers at this level. (The menu warns you: "This is a dish for stronger constitutions"). My lamb shashlik was char grilled on a skewer (thoughtfully removed prior to serving) with slices of tomato, onions and green peppers, plated on a sizzling iron plate. The chunks of lamb had been marinated: They were so tender! The garlic naan? Fresh from a tandoor oven, with a little char, lots of butter and garlic, and a little parsley. It was so fresh and good! After the meal our waiter asked us if we would like tea, but I couldn't have eaten anything more (though I strongly recommend their creamy rice pudding!)

For an extra $2 upcharge to get lamb I would have liked more. It was mostly bread and rice. The rice was excellent! Super flavorful. It took a while to get service and the water is bottled water. Not complimentary like most restaurants. No ice or glasses. Despite these quirks, I would absolutely return to try other items. Worth a stop!

We ordered quite the spread because we wanted to try a variety and everything was fantastic. We ordered chili momo, jhol momo, chow mein and chili fries. We ordered spice level of 3 for the chili momo and fries and it was the perfect amount of heat and the flavor was great! Perfect balance of spicy and sweet. The sauce in the jhol momos was flavorful and so creamy. Really friendly and attentive service topped off a great dining experience. Highly recommend if you're vegetarian as they have lots of veg options which is great!

At the top…read moreof the list it clearly states, "The default is level of spiciness is medium-hot but the kitchen can adjust to your preferred level". They mean it! The flavor profile is not "rounded down" for the average Buffalo palate. For me, this is a great thing! There are many vegetarian options, and some vegan ones as well: Lots of chickpea dishes, potato based dishes, vegetable pulao, paneer curries, and pooris, parathas, and naans. We had the vegetable samosas to start, stuffed with potatoes and peas, served with a sweet chili sauce. The kalak chai and Kashmiri chai were both excellent; the latter with a froth and topped with chopped pistachios. The garlic naan was hot from the oven, perfect amount of char on the back. For entrees my husband ordered the mutton pulao, which was tender from hours of simmering, and fragrant with the aroma of cinnamon. My BBQ fish arrived on an iron sizzling platter, with a chilli-based dry rub, caramelized onion slices, and what I thought were sweet green peppers. Nope! These were the hell-hot cousins, complete with seeds! Another patron, noticing me wiping my eyes, told me that sweet green peppers are not a part of Pakistani cuisine....so now I know, and respect them. BTW, the complementary raita served with the meal was the remedy: a tablespoon of this, and the heat disapated. I really loved the fish: It had sweet flesh and it was perfectly cooked, falling from the bone. I also loved the hot green pepper slices, once I got over the shock of it! In the 90 minutes we were there, we were the only people who were not Southeast Asian. The owner/chef/waiter was handily managing the flow, and checked on us often. He explained that soon the menu would be expanded to include curries. For additional atmosphere, the sound system was playing Dua Lipa hits, "Despacito," and 2010's cover songs in Punjabi or Urdu. Loved it. If you're in the area in the morning, the restaurant opens at 10 am and has a dozen breakfast items. Catering available.

This was my first time having Pakistani since moving to Buffalo but knowing where this place was located was almost a guarantee that is was going to be fantastic. The menu features a lot of unique items that I absolutely need to try in the future (most notably the goat curry) but the chicken biryani is what drew me in on this day. The gentleman working the counter was friendly and and quick to deliver the food when It was done (nice and hot too!). The rice served with this dish would of been enough alone to satisfy me but the chicken that was underneath it gets 2 thumbs up! I can't put my finger on what exactly the flavouring was but it was absolutely delicious in every way. M Asian Halal Foods is another fantastic addition to the West Side Bizarre. If you are hungry and wanting to get something new, give these guys a shot, you will not be disappointed!

So they're talking about having a black guy play James Bond. Idris Elba, I believe, was the front…read morerunner. So my question is... When are they going to make M Asian? The owners of this little stand, apparently, were wondering the same thing. And considering that one of the other amazing places inside the West Side Bazaar is "007 Asian Food", I think they're trying to tell us something. What to get: Chicken Karahi, or Egg Curry. What not to get: garrotted by one of Q's gadgets. Absolutely spectacular Indian food hidden away in the wonderful West Side Bazaar. One of the newer stands this place specializes in the egg Curry and especially the car. Chicken Karahi is a Pakistani specialty which is absolutely delicious. These guys know how to make it. Every bite is absolutely wonderful. Prices under $10 in the portion will fill you up. It's nice and oily just the way I like it. Indian food is a little like Chinese and Mexican food in that (a) there are a massive number of varieties, many of which are nothing like each other, and (b) the majority of people in the US don't know or understand the cuisine whatsoever. What most Americans think is Indian, Chinese or Mexican food is absolutely not. It's probably bland, overly-sugary gentrified crap that was literally invented to sell to Americans, which the majority of people from the culture or country in question, would never go near. Such as the dish "Butter Chicken" which is about as authentic as a Taco Bell taco. And as bland, sugary, and spiceless, too. Yay Murica. What you need to do when you go for Indian or Pakistani food - if you've chosen well and picked a place that has some real Indian food, like this stand does - is to pick dishes that are actually authentic. In this case, the Egg Curry and the Chicken Karahi are both delicious, full of flavour and spice, and must-try dishes. The samosa is also excellent. If you haven't been to the West Side Bazaar, you haven't really experienced Buffalo Cuisine. We have some of the most delicious treats hidden around the region and this place is one of the very best. While you're in here, get a fruit smoothie (no milk, ask for real fruit) from Gourmet Lao, as well as the sticky rice from 007 and the Garlic Chicken soup from the Burmese place across from M Asian. Now I'm going to write to the Broccoli family (and the late Ian Fleming) and Daniel Craig (and Sean Connery) and ask when the hell they are going to make M Asian. Speaking of which, I'll take the rapists for 400. And I want Swords for 600. That's not what your mother said last night Trebek.

I got Biryani, Chicken 65, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Coconut Chicken Curry. The Coconut Chicken Curry was honestly the best I've had in Buffalo, NY. Being of Indian origin myself, I haven't found many places that taste as authentic as Inchin's Indian Kitchen. I would definitely recommend this spot if you want to try authentic-tasting Indian food. The place is clean, and the food options are easy to read and displayed clearly behind glass so you can see what's available before ordering. I especially loved the Coconut Chicken Curry from this place. If anyone knows another place in Buffalo that makes a great Coconut Chicken Curry, please share. I'd love to try. There's not much to say about the service since the restaurant doesn't have its own dining area, but the Walden Galleria food court has plenty of seating.
