First of all, the ambience was nice with a color combination of shining gold and emerald green. The songs in the background were also supercalifragilisticexpealidocious. The service was nice, and the waiters were very respectful and polite. The food was good in taste, but it wasn't cooked very well. I feel like it could use a bit more time in the oven.

We recently celebrated with a group of 22 people, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and handled our large party effortlessly. What impressed me most was how well they managed such a big group. All of our food came out at the same time, and everything was hot and fresh. The service was exceptional. Every time our basket of naan started to run low, fresh, hot naan appeared at the table without us even having to ask. The food itself was incredible. There was a great selection of dishes, and everything we ordered was packed with flavor. The combination of amazing food, attentive service, and a great atmosphere made the evening memorable for everyone in our group. If you're looking for a place that can handle a large gathering without missing a beat, this is it. I would absolutely give them 5 stars and can't wait to come back. read more

I was excited to try this place after all the hype on social media. The ambiance is nice, but feels incomplete. There are little things that actually clash with the vibe. One is, not providing fabric napkins and two, bringing the food out on those bulky plastic trolleys. Vibe killers. I sat down to look at the menu and put my eye on the butter chicken. It's labeled butter chicken but the description was for some sort of fish. I asked the waiter to clarify for me because I didn't want fish. He told me, "it's a typo." It seems like this place has been open for 3 months. That's an awful long time to have a typo on the menu, especially when you are a new business. At that point, management should remove the menus and just put a QR code at the table until they reprint the proper menus. The staff doesn't seem very knowledgeable about the menu. We asked if it was family style and our waiter was quite confused about the term "family style." Once we explained to him what that meant, he told us that all their plates feed three to four people. I just want to clarify, the portions are NOT family style. They are individual sizes and quote small. On top of that, you have to order the rice separately which is $10. The butter chicken ended up coming with four and a half pieces of chicken inside of it ($18.) I ordered the mint mojito ($8.) I took one sip and it was off putting. I took another and it was clear that this drink was not made professionally or with a solid recipe. I left it to the side. We ordered soda, it was flat. The water is not filtered. After paying $86 for three people, we still left hungry and unsatisfied. I hope that the owners take this feedback as constructive criticism. We could really use some nice places in the IE, but we deserve quality when paying these prices. Not just the food but the service too. read more

Amazing decor and atmosphere. The owner is very friendly and the staff are his family members who are very attentive and friendly as well. The food tasted delicious and has a very much a Pakistani taste. Ordered the chicken karahi, white karachi, and chicken biryani, all were great. read more

Amazingly fresh and clean. Service was great as well Top favorites were the kabab platter (perfect level of spice/ not overbearing) and great portion size Chicken Karahi was also freshly made with none of the nonsense tomato paste stuff. I'm pashtoon and given that it is our traditional dish, would give it 9/10. Lab-e-Shereen also perfectly creamy and the fruits being still crunch/ not soggy means they were freshly prepared. Daal and pani puri were also hits. Would skip the mocktails (too sweet and heavy on the syrup not enough fizz) read more

This was one of the worst mismanagement I have ever seen. We called around 4pm, to try and get reservations. We finally connected with someone around 4:30 and were told it was first come first serve for Mother's Day. We arrived around 5:45pm. We were told there was a 45 minute wait so we waited. We checked in after 45 minutes only to be told most likely another 45 minutes....we asked if a smaller table was available. We would squeeze in. No menus were ever given to us. We started looking online on our phones and went to the counter to order as no one was coming by to even acknowledge us. The food took more time than you can imagine to come out. And the waitress was piling it onto one spot. At one point my daughter literally had to move her plate off the table and hold it in her hand. We had to suggest to the waitress to move to other end to put some items on that side. We asked for water no ice, and the guys goes back and brings a pitcher with ice. The staff seemed super confused. Now comes the food. This was sadly horrible. The bbq platter is $35 and the meat on it was not good. This came with malai boti, chicken Tikka, bihari boti, seekh kabob. The seekh kabob was dry. The pieces that came were the size of my pinky. The bihari boti was also dry and did not fall apart. Both lacked flavor as well. The malai boti was the only item I would say was well marinated and had some flavor. The chicken Tikka looked lackluster. The reshmi kabob was ordered separately and was nothing special. The nihari was decent, with aromatic flavor. The karahi was another just okay. We asked them to make it extra spicy for us and that was not taken into consideration. The saddest or most disappointing item was the birayni. I am a huge biryani fanatic and this was by far one of the worst I have had. It was plain rice with dye and three pieces of dry chicken. Clearly the chicken was made separately and just added to the rice mixture. I asked them to make it super spicy for me, but what I got was boiled rice. I mean seriously?!?! The prices weren't cheap either. When I am waiting 1.5 hours to be seated and ordering, at least food should be amazing. This place needs to improve on everything to keep running. We won't be back. Just horrible! read more

It's not always that you get great vibes and even better food especially at a Pakistani restaurant. So the fact that we got a gem like this in corona of all places??? So exciting! From the aromatic biryani to the authentic chicken karahi, I was in heaven. This place is definitely a must try and is so cute would be perfect to bring family that's visiting from out of town! read more

We visited as a family of seven on a Friday at 8:00 PM. While we were seated promptly and initially greeted with water, the overall experience quickly went downhill. The Good: Ambiance & First Impressions: The atmosphere is lovely, and the place settings (plates and utensils) are very nice. Prompt Seating: Despite being a busy Friday night, we didn't have to wait to be seated. Service Issues: Menu Knowledge: When we asked basic questions about menu items, the explanations were vague and unhelpful. Extremely Slow & Neglectful: We waited over 50 minutes for our main meal. During this long wait, our water glasses were never refilled, and some of our drink orders were forgotten entirely until we reminded the staff multiple times. Missing Food & Billing Error: We ordered a salad that never arrived. When I asked about it, we were told they had run out because "most customers ordered salad today." To top it off, they still charged us for the missing salad, and I had to request that it be removed from the bill. Payment Process: After the neglectful table service, we ultimately had to walk up to the counter ourselves just to settle the check. Food Quality & Value: Quality & Quantity: The food tasted okay, but the portion sizes were quite small given the high price point. Details: For a restaurant that invests in nice tableware and charges higher prices, handing out cheap paper napkins feels like an odd disconnect. Bottom Line: This restaurant has great bones--the ambiance is wonderful--but there is significant room for improvement in staff training, communication, and overall value. I sincerely hope management makes the necessary adjustments, as the potential is definitely there. read more

My parents, my son, and I always enjoy coming here. We usually order the nihari, chicken karahi, garlic naan, basmati rice, and mango lassi, and everything consistently comes out fresh and delicious. The food feels warm, homey, and truly authentic--like a taste of Pakistan. The service and overall experience are always wonderful. read more

Beautiful restaurant. Nice to see a Pakistani restaurant with a nice ambiance. Servers are nice. They're new and I love the effort they put out. Food reminded me of back home. Was amazing. Will continue to support. read more

Last night we went to Mizaaj Restaurant at 7pm--and yes, I'm mentioning the time because they open at 4pm and somehow had already run out of multiple dishes by then. Impressive... just not in a good way. There's clearly a lot of hype thanks to social media, but the place itself isn't nearly big enough to handle the crowd they're pulling in. It felt less like a restaurant and more like a chaotic house party where everyone's just trying their best. Now let's talk portions--because apparently that's optional here. Everything was tiny, and I genuinely don't remember seeing actual pieces of meat or chicken... even in the biryani. The butter chicken? Pink. Yes, pink chicken. Not exactly the kind of "surprise" anyone wants with dinner. For the prices they're charging, you'd expect the food to at least show up--and be cooked. We drove all the way from Irvine to Corona for this, which in hindsight feels like a very committed way to be disappointed. And the service? Confused is putting it kindly. The staff didn't seem to know the menu, orders were all over the place, and there was zero sense of coordination. It just felt completely out of control. Bottom line, maybe focus on food quality and actual service before riding the hype wave, because right now, it's not holding up. read more

Good food especially the karahis. Chicken and Mutton both are delicious!!! Must try if you're ever in the area. read more

This place is new and I had a chance to try out their butter chicken and garlic naan. I ordered to go and the butter chicken was still amazing by the time I got home. The butter chicken was well seasoned and lots of extra sauce to dip the naan. Garlic naan was yummy and made fresh. Only thing is it's a bit expensive but other than that, highly recommended the butter chicken read more

Absolutely loved the food here! I ordered the Lamb Karahi and Tarka Daal, and both were packed with flavor. The lamb was tender and seasoned perfectly, while the daal had that rich, comforting taste with just the right amount of spice. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and the portions were generous. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're craving some good Pakistani food. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

The ambience was so vibey. Every dish was bursting with flavor. We ordered the chicken 65, darkah daal, and beef paya. You can tell a lot of care went into the food here. Service was just as impressive. Super attentive without being overbearing and they gave us the best recommendation: mango mojito (mocktail). SO good I'm still craving it 10/10 experience. Already planning my next visit! read more

We visited on a Wednesday afternoon and were seated right away. The food was great, and the service was excellent as well!

Wanted to try the place due to lots of noise on TikTok. I will give them props for their investment and risk starting a new Pakistani restaurant. Here is my honest review for each department, this includes positive criticism and advice when I compare to similarly priced restaurants: Service: The waitress/staff needs to learn the menu and know what is each dish on the menu is made out of. We asked a few questions and she had no idea what the dish is. Host: the host had no idea how to seat people immediately and was not very professional. Food: The food which we did receive was taste wise good, but very small portions. The malai boti was under cooked the chicken was a bit hard, not to the par of malai level. Biryani was about $20 with only 2/3 small pieces of chicken and not loaded with rice. The butter chicken was very sweet. They ran out of 2 out of their 4/5 chicken items at 7pm right at start of dinner time. Need to improve here. Menu Quality: They should define the allergens present under the dish, which clearly states what allergens are present in the food. Very important for those with allergies. Furniture: The booth benches need to be bolted down, they move around as soon as you stand up. The chairs were made well though. In a nutshell, staff needs proper restaurant training as its current a chaos and food needs more attention and slightly larger portions for the price we paid. read more

Did an order pickup and tried the biryani and haleem. Both were absolutely delicious, and we can't wait to come back with friends to try more items from the menu! Loved the customer service too. Ambience was very inviting. read more

One of the best tasting Desi food in US. Had mutton quorma and mutton pulao. Amazingly authentic taste. Portions can be bit larger but well balanced proportion of spices. Full of flavors. Highly reccomend this place if you want to enjoy real desi food. read more

Best food. Cozy environment. Amazing customer services. I will definitely recommend this restaurant for a nice fancy dinner. 5 stars !

Service is great and food is very good too . Ambiance is way better than many desi restaurants in neighbouring county. Well done

The food was amazing! Ordered the chicken Karahi and naan. Everything was fresh and was served quickly. Will definitely be back

Amazing ambience and the staff is very accommodating. the food is delicious is well. this place is an overall 10/10.

Yesterday we went there for dinner with couple of non desi guest. Previously we had good experience but now we found food spicy. They should ask customer if they need spicy or mild. read more

Just had dinner at Mizaaj. This is our 4th time dining there and just like previous times it was an awesome and delicious experience. Excellent food, extremely good customer service, and owner himself checking with guests is a rarity in Indian Pakistani restaurants. I highly recommend this restaurant! We had mouth watering karahi chicken, excellent Paya, and out of this world goat pulao. Keep it up Khurram! read more

Went with high hopes but left with disappointment! I think the staff needs to get it together, if you're going to have a high-end prices like Mint or Gulnaaz you should follow in their footsteps of service and staff also. Coming back to us after 10 minutes of ordering to let us know that a dish is not available and expecting us to pick a dish out of a hat without looking at the menu is a little unprofessional. Everything could've used some more seasoning less spices. Pani puri - I can make better at home with an airfryer and Shan's Pani puri masala Samosa - the potato filling inside didn't taste fresh. Weird grainy texture. Chicken karahi - lacking salt but not oil or spices. Mango mocktail - didn't understand the concept of A Gummy bear in it but hope it was Halal. Aesthetic - I would give it a solid 8.3/10. I do not understand the concept of tacky faux flowers, they accumulate so much dust n crap and I highly doubt someone is going to be dusting the wall anytime soon. Bathroom that I picked was disgusting. Despite it the crew looking busy, the service was lacking. The females working were not friendly, and were having their own ghichpich. It was busy night for them and the line was out the door but we had to wait for a loooong time to get our bill even though we asked for it twice. Meanwhile people waiting to be seated were having a stare-a-thon with us, making us uncomfortable. Couldn't wait to get out of there. They should have a host who seats or has clipboard to write peoples name down like Mas does. Really not much else to say! read more

On this Mother's Day, my daughter and son-in-law invited our family to Mizaaj for dinner, and we had such a wonderful time together. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and beautifully served. Every dish was prepared so perfectly that we truly enjoyed every bite. The entire family was so warm, welcoming, and caring. They really tried their best to make everyone feel happy and comfortable, which made the evening even more special. The restaurant was very clean, the atmosphere was lovely, and the service was excellent. read more

Dined here with my family for mothers day, after waiting almost 2 hours to be seated. We had to wait another hour for food. While waiting for food, we had to ask for water at least 3 times before they served it to us. The service was awful, and there was no food. We tried to order chicken biryani, beef biryani, and seek kebab, but were constantly told they were out and no longer available. The BBQ platter was way overpriced. The staff was not paying attention at all. And after such a bad experience, they had the audacity to charge us 18% service fee. I will not be dining here again. read more

NOT WORTH THE MONEY: The Chicken Biryani came with only two tiny pieces of chicken--the rest was just rice. The Lamb Qorma was extremely oily, with nearly half the dish covered in oil. Very disappointing for the price. I won't be coming back. read more

Love the food it is amazing come here and eat nice open sitting as well. Nice staff and everybody nice modern stuff as well.​

We came here for Eid and tried their special menu for the night. Everything was so fresh. I'm particular about biryani and their's was 10/10, no broken kernels of rice, and the meat was tender. Malai chicken was also amazing. read more

Really good food but the wait was too long almost 2 and half hours.. service was really good too .

"The food was excellent, but the wait time can be quite long. The reason seems to be that the staff make a genuine effort to accommodate everyone and manage seating thoughtfully. They also try to fit in larger parties, which can add to the wait. At the same time, guests who are already seated are enjoying their meals and time, so it's understandable that they aren't rushed. Overall, great food and a pleasant dining experience--just be prepared for a bit of a wait." read more
