We went to Zouq on a quiet Monday evening for dinner and were the only ones there. The ambiance is…read moreunassuming and simple - order at the counter, plastic plates and utensils, and open seating. Even though we were the only ones there, we did have to wait a bit for our food. The wait is beyond worth it. We experienced fantastic flavors, huge portions, and incredibly fresh food overall. We got the chicken korma (decently spicy), the kadhi pakora curry, garlic naan, and rice. We also got a mango lassi (amazing). In terms of value, I can't readily think of a place that has more. There was so much food that we ended up eating leftovers for two more days. We will absolutely be back for the buffet, and if you're in the area, this is a can't-miss spot.

This place has potential, food is very good. Always lightly staffed (usually only one to both take…read moreorders and wait tables), always nearly empty. Never a complaint about the food. Shawarma, gyros, vegetarian options. Like nothing else I've ever eaten. I've here for 3 iterations and not a lot changes with new names/owners. This iteration is definitely cleaner and friendlier than the last two. So, I'm giving it a review. Worth trying, but don't expect to get out quickly. Great for sitting and chatting with the wife over a meal, though.

This place is really just a takeout, with a front area with a table or two if you really want to…read morestay. I was promised freshly made food, and I received it. Despite a few menu alterations on their part, I got some interesting food. The place is listed as Pakastani, so I ordered things that seemed distinctively regional. My paneer chili delivered a delicious Indo-Chinese spice note and enough chili to clear my sinuses. The amount of actual paneer was not huge, but neither was the price, so I ended up just eating it all at once (unusual for me to finish an entire entree of that heavy stuff). The way they do a samosa chaat is a little bit drier and tangier than most, which does feel more like the style one gets in Pakistani places. It was satisfying, though the styrofoam container struggled to hold the liquid a bit. Of the numerous Indian restaurants in the area, I doubt this one will blow away all the others, but it was distinctive, fresh, and convenient. They gave me a loyalty card, and I'll probably come back.

Both main dishes had limited depth of flavor without the craveable layers of Indian spices that culinary dreams are made of. Both tasted freshly made and not stewed for hours, which would have provided the depth. Service/owner was perfectly nice. And the prices were half of the nearby competitors. Give Lahore a try! May be perfectly fine for most, especially as an introductory Indian food experience. Where's the heat?

Indian dinner buffet is a rare find, so I had to give this restaurant a try…read more For 2 adult buffet and 1 mango lassi, it was around $50 before tip. Kind of pricey, but also kind of not when you think about how much it would cost for a-la-carte ordering. The food and choices is about 2x more than you would find on a typical Indian buffet, which includes additional homemade items like pizza, chicken wings, fried chicken, and 4 different desserts. What makes this place special? 1. The food tastes homemade, to the point where you will see the employees on break choosing to eat their own food. That is a good sign. 2. Bread specialty - the breads are made fresh by hand, the oven area is open for customers to see. Even garlic naan is included. 3. Amount of choices - so many curries, breads, desserts, sauces, salads, and more. Even many protein options. The fried chicken is even delicious af. 4. Service is warm and friendly, a family atmosphere. 5. Food is not too salty and difficult tummy approved. 6. They make their own ice creams. You can see many regular customers that visit often and over and over. It's just that delicious. Tons of outdoor seating on the cute terrace.

This is a whole other level The dessert was good too Halwa is a favorite of mine And kheer, though opposite in temperature ( cold) The flavors of vanilla, almond like and milk Are to die for The lamb was great The garlic naan a crowd pleaser The curry chickpeas chef kiss Parking: plenty of it Conveniently located across the street From the mall of Georgia So hwy access is easy peasy I went 1:30 pm in the afternoon on a Friday A few tables were occupied I opted for the buffet which is priced at a bargain About 15.00 Dinner buffet prices are around 18.00-20.00 You grab a plate and serve yourself For those concerned about touching serving spoons They have plastic gloves to put on I talked with Sijad ( I hope I'm not spelling his name wrong.

I wanted to leave a hearty review for Shahi Grill simply because this place deserves it. I am a…read morefood critic at heart and have had my share of very tasty experiences. And whenever I try a new Indian place, I have high hopes that it will be a knockout. I will say - although their plastic serving utensils and dinnerware made us skeptical, seeing other Indo-Pak's dining there made us hopeful that we had possibly found a gem. Shahi Grill was a total surprise and I can't wait to share what we had! Chicken Samosas - Crunchy and flavorful. Gone in 60 seconds. Chicken Corn Soup - A bit too peppery for me, but it was still tasty. My Dad gobbled it up. Garlic Naan - Soft, flavorful, and the perfect chew. You get a good sized portion for the price too, so definitely order some for your meal. Butter Chicken - I was about to order the Tikki Masala, but the sweet lady taking our order told me that there's a "medium" spice level to it. Well, unfortunately, medium spice scares the ba-jesus out of me, so I went with her suggestion, the Butter Chicken. What a win! Not spicy at all, just TONS of flavor! My peeps thought that mine was the best of the 3 entrees. They scooped their Naan into the Butter Chicken sauce and moaned with every bite. There wasn't a drop left of it in the container. Open Fire Grill Chicken Boti - Cooked perfectly, delicious flavor, and so moist. My dad got this served over saffron rice. He loved it! Shahi Malai Chicken - This chicken was some of the most tender and flavorful chicken I've had in a whiiiiiiiiiiiiile. If I could beg the chef for this marinade recipe, I would....and I'd make it week after week. I think the flavor of this was my personal favorite. I'm still burping it up, and loving it. haha There's NO doubt that we'll be ordering from here again. So grateful this is right around the corner from us. This was the neighborhood gem we were looking for. THANK YOU to the chefs back there in the kitchen. Please add some vegetables to your menu if you're reading this, but other than that - don't change a thing! A++

Tucked into an unassuming strip mall, Mughals is not for beginners. Or maybe it is, depending on…read morethe beginner's palate. There are a lot of tasty and SPICY things to be had here. Be warned: Mughal doesn't offer a "mild" option. It just doesn't exist. Not every dish is fiery, but the flavors are bold and unapologetic and definitely not for the faint of heart. This is a "no frills" dining establishment. There is no fancy decor. There are no crowd-pleasing, Americanized dishes. Get your own water. Besides the people behind the counter, there is no full-service wait-staff. Their energy is spent on the food. And when we were there, brown people were certainly there en force, chowing down. I think the cooks are Pakistani. I may be wrong about that. Certainly they are Muslim, and their cooking leans decidedly in that direction. If you want to skip the rich gravies, go for the "mixed grill," a tandoori platter piled high with perfectly seasoned meats. Naan arrives hot, huge, and fluffy, while the basmati rice is consistently cooked to perfection.

When I got my order, there was no bag--just the gyro and a box of fries. The gyro meat was burnt, it had lettuce and tomato (which I did NOT ask for), no cheese, and they gave me green sauce instead of white. I went back in to fix it, and he told me they don't even have cheese--then tried to remake it and asked AGAIN if I wanted lettuce and tomatoes after I clearly said I didn't. Now I'm stuck with a dry, burnt sandwich. Terrible experience. Don't go here.

It's a sit down restaurant where you order the food at the counter but they bring the food and drinks to you ur table with good service.
