    Loved the food at Shadman! Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. Great portions and great service. Definitely coming back.

    Palak Paneer
    Sayoni G.

    I have only gotten food delivered from Shadman never had the opportunity to visit the restaurant. Hence my review is purely based on the delivered food. So to start with I happened to find this restaurant one day when I was craving some Nalli Nihari and this was one of the most highest rated in the suggestions. I ventured into their menu and very quickly found that they seem to cater to both my non-vegetarian and vegetarian cravings. Over a period of nearly one year, I have ordered multiple times from Shadman. And it has never disappointed me! Most of their chicken and goat dishes are exceptionally tasty and I would recommend them all. There might not been too many options for vegetarian dishes but all of them are very tasty and authentically North Indian flavours. One of the surprise find of this place is their desserts. I have never been a big fan of Indian desserts as they tend to be way too sweet for my palate. But at Shadman they have found a perfect balance of that sweet and rich tastes. I have tried multiple options they offer and all have been delicious. I find their portions generous and they are pretty cost effective too. I would highly recommend this place when you are craving some authentic Pakistani and North Indian food.

    Delicious Chapli Kebab.

    . Pros 1. Fridays are the Best Day to Indulge in Delicious, Unlimited Rice Noodle Pudding (Kheer). It's sold on Weekends. 2. Clean and well maintained restaurant for years! 3. Mama Shadman and her team are Friendly! 4. Curry Goat is Tender, Savory and Spicy! 5. Cashew Curry Chicken is so Sweet, Savory and lightly spicy. 6. Chaplin Kebab is deeeelicious. 7. Chicken Kebab is good. Cons 1. No Buffet anymore after pandemic..

    Halwa (right), Puri (center), and Chikar Cholay (left)
    Imtiaz S.

    Punjab, the land of five rivers in South Asia, has history dating back to the 3000 BC (Indus Valley Civilization). From this land comes a hearty breakfast consisting of Fried Bread (Puri), Sweets (Halwa), Muddy Chickpeas (Chikar Cholay) and Aloo Burji (Tangy Potato Stew). They call it Naashta (Breakfast). This breakfast is so popular all-over South Asia, that every region has taken the liberty to tinker with the recipe. But, if you really want to appreciate what the fuss is all about, then at the very least, you need to have this breakfast with the Chickpeas made as they are done in Punjab. Three things make Muddy Chickpeas distinct. 1) It is made from extra small white chickpeas (3 mm chickpeas). 2) It is not a stew; It is braised chickpeas. 3) Chickpeas AND a paste made from mashed chickpeas & mashed potatoes blended together are braised with onions, tomatoes, black pepper, salt, and spices. One of my favorite places to score this breakfast is Shadman (293 Grove Street, Jersey City, NJ). It is available only on weekends (till 2:00 PM). I also like the Samosa Chaat and Sesame Naan at Shadman.

    Mixed Platter

    Picked up mixed platter here for lunch, which is one veg item, one non-veg and rice or biryani. I had chickpeas, chicken karahi and rice. Perfect portion for lunch. Chickpeas and rice were good but chicken karahi had no flavor.

    Best Pakistani food ever! They have various dishes from chicken to goat and the spice level is just perfect. The kabobs are very juicy and seasoned perfectly. Everything was delicious. Deff will be back

    Rocks found in Samosa chaat....
    Mo M.

    So I'm rating this a 2 because on the average their food is a good go to when it comes to Authentic tasting Pakistani food. It's not particularly spicy, but it fits the bill. My family loves the samosa chaat, Sikh kebabs and naan from here. Today just like any other day I ordered the samosa chaat, and found a fun little surprise.... 2 SMALL ROCKS...... Unfortunately this is not the first time I've found some strange things in their food.

    Stephanie M.

    Made literally the worst naan I've ever had. Was made with minced raw garlic in the middle. Soggy, no crunchy parts at all. To add insult to injury, guy at front desk only had his mask half on. Will never go back

    Aloo Paratha
    Anshmeet A.

    Best Desi food in whole jersey city area. There Kadhi Pakoda is very authentic. Love it! The size of aloo parantha was massive. It was very tasty. Usually I eat 3 normal size paranthas but this time I was done in one

It's unfortunate that I have to post this as I feel despite us voicing our concern (multiple times) in person with the staff and also on the phone when ordering take out, the staff is not trained and do not take certain dietary restrictions seriously such as food allergies. After having a child who suffers from peanut and egg allergies, whenever we have dined or ordered from here as of lately, we have politely asked for certain food not to be served together and prepared properly. After expressing this, the staffs answer is rude and with an attitude and us being told "ok i'll just put it in a separate plate" after it being cross contaminated and served. Then during a take out order when we called to alert that there is an allergy, to please ensure the food is properly handled and packed separately from egg-containing items, we were told (specifically by Jaspreet) it is already prepared and packed, so the best that can be done is taken out and packed separately instead of adhering to the urgency of the matter and re-preparing the food. Our child broke out in hives due to their negligence in the past and I fear that their inefficiency to understand the seriousness of this matter will one day result in legal action being taken against this establishment if God forbid someone else has a reaction or worse a Fatality. My post isn't intended towards the quality of the food, it is more so to be heard and create awareness on this matter as it seems this establishment can care less towards your health needs. Update: We were contacted by ownership (Ishrath) and accused of being in the wrong and were met with disrespect and advised not to come to this establishment anymore as they cannot meet our "crazy demands." We should have been heard out, which was explained to co-ownership (Sobia) a few minutes after my review was posted, that this wasn't a personal jab towards the establishment however has happened to us on multiple accounts, specifically from staff member Jaspreet the past two times in a matter of two weeks. There was no apology on the matter, just defensiveness in a "sweet tone." This is more so a validation that despite us voicing our concerns multiple times in person, it has fallen on deaf ears and it is unfortunate that we have had to go to such extremes as posting this to be heard. Since my post, we see the attempt to have our post buried, and quite frankly hope it made a difference, albeit they have lost our business however we know the restaurant will still thrive. Still wishing them the best of luck and hopefully prevents any future consequence on this matter.

    Ordered: Aloo Papri Chaat (~$9)…read moreGol Gappay (~$9) White Chicken Karahi (~$31): chicken curry stir-fried in karahi with white cream, yogurt, and spiced with roasted cumin and coriander seeds Plain Basmati Rice (~$7) Plain Tandoori Roti (~$3) Kashmiri Chai (~$4) Aya's take: This cold weather has me craving curries & spices more than ever before so we stopped at Lahore for a quick lunch. Lahore is a Pakistani restaurant which is honestly not common to come across (compared to Indian restaurants). The interior is nicely decorated and we were seated immediately. We got 2 appetizers, Aloo Papri Chaat and Gol Gappay. The Aloo Papri Chaat was cold, loaded with textures and flavors, and even some slight sweetness. It was enjoyable but not sure I would gravitate to this again. The Gol Gappay was beautifully presented with a similar flavor profile to the Aloo Papri Chaat. It's great for sharing and more of a playful appetizer. I've never had Karahi before and although maybe not the traditional version, we opted for the White Chicken Karahi. It was mild, savory and creamy. It took ~30 minutes to prepare as the menu states and they don't skimp out on the chicken. For the price point, I would say the portion is reasonable. The chicken was tender, buttery, and aromatic. My only complaint is that it wasn't served with anything so we had to add some Basmati Rice and Tandoori Roti on our own dime. I think it should come with at least one complimentary side dish considering it's an entree. We ended with a Kashmiri Chai. It's a pink-hued tea that actually gets its color from the chemical reaction between the green tea & baking soda. All this time, I thought it was rose! It was garnished with pistachios and had hints of cardamom and cinnamon spices which I enjoyed. Good try overall!

    | Deeply Disappointed -- What Happened to Baithakh?…read more Baithakh used to be one of our favorite go-to spots in North Brunswick. We've always enjoyed the food, but unfortunately, something has definitely changed since our last visit -- and not for the better. We ordered several dishes, including the Baithakh Seekh Kebab Roll, Crispy Fried Chicken Burger, Beef Paya, Beef Nihari, Peshawari Mutton Karahi, and Chicken Malai Boti. To our surprise, nearly everything was a letdown. The Beef Paya and Peshawari Mutton Karahi were both swimming in oil and severely lacked flavor, which was shocking considering how good they used to be. The Fried Chicken Burger had decent seasoning, but the chicken itself was tough and rubbery -- almost inedible. The Chicken Malai Boti was okay, but even that wasn't as tender or flavorful as we've had here before. Maybe they've changed chefs or recipes, but the quality just isn't the same anymore. Baithakh had never failed us before, but this visit was a major disappointment. Sadly, we're giving it a 2 out of 5 stars. We hope they find their way back to the standard that once made them great.

However, over our last three visits, we've noticed several concerns: The taste of the food has changed, and some dishes were not properly cooked. The karahi gosht is no longer prepared the way it used to be, and the portion size has also been reduced. The seating arrangement feels too cramped for the space, making it difficult to move around comfortably. When concerns are raised, the standard response is simply, "we will let them know," without any visible follow-up. We genuinely enjoy dining here and would like to continue visiting. However, the inconsistency in food quality, along with pricing and portion concerns, has been disappointing and is making us reconsider. I would greatly appreciate it if the owner could give attention to these issues, particularly ensuring consistency in food quality and taste.

Now the naans here are not the delicate fragrant ones at fancy Indian restaurants. These are thick ones with or without ghee smeared on top (to request) meant for the lumberjack. Here these are in the form of cab drivers and delivery men who need sustenance and no froo froo cuisine. The gender neutral restroom is in my opinion the "Black hole of Calcutta." For men, it may be passable but for women absolutely verboten to enter. At a pinch, go to Kalustiyan where there is a restroom up the stairs. Ideally only should buy something before asking to powder one's nose. Service at Lahori is fine.
