    Nice little corner spot by ridge ave in the fairmount area. Prices are reasonable and dishes were prepared accordingly. They are open late as well. Will come back next time I am in the area

    We visited for a family dinner today, The front staff was friendly and welcoming and relatively quick. We ordered laccha paratha, Paneer Makhni, chicken korma Everything was fresh and delicious. The Masala chai was my favorite though. Overall, It was a wonderful experience with Excellent customer service and the food was on point! Will definitely be back!

    One Thursday evening, during Ramadan, I was in search of a decent spot to satisfy my craving for…read moresome desi style Mughlai Paratha (Desi Egg & Vege Wrap) & Chicken Lolipop. After few searches, I came upon this place, never heard of it so I'm guessing they are new and upcoming hence the reviews! I called and placed my order for pickup and they said it would take 10 minutes, so I went there picked up my food and went home to break my fast during Ramadan. I think I broke one of my tooth's trying to enjoy my Iftar lol. The Chicken Lollipop, was super hard, dry & tasteless. It looked like they over floured the chicken. The lollipop sauce was sub par, The Mughlai Paratha, was really bready and dry as well. It looked deep fried which is not how it would be. I do want to say the service by the gentlemen behind the counter was friendly. Honestly, I gave this spot a try based on reviews & since it was new to the area. However, after today's experience with the food it will be hard to ever return.

    12:00pm and nothing was put out the place was disgustingly dirty. We had to move their stage on our…read moreown so we could start decorating we had to put out the table and chair on our own. And when we confronted them they said it was our fault we came early and said we were in the wrong. When they are the ones who said we can come and they will have everything ready for us by 11:30 am. During our event, they did not provide us with a server to pick up dirty plates and said we had to charge separately when they originally said that would be included. As well they tried charging us extra for Indian tea when they said that would be included. Also, they did not allow us to use those drives to store drinks and ice as they had said they could not provide ice for drinks so we had to run out and buy ice from the grocery store. As you can see from my video that place is filthy. The management sucks there's no communication between the owners. The biggest disappointment was the food they served us below average food compared to when we went and tried to food out.

Khashir (Goat) Biryani 11. Tuna Kebab 12. Mishti Doi (sweet yogurt) Aya's take: I'm going to try to put into words what an incredible dining experience the Dawat Dinner is at Korai Kitchen. Run by a mom & daughter duo, Amma & Nur-E are truly so down-to-earth, full of positivity, and their energy is luminous. Amma is genuinely passionate about her craft and unbelievably humble! We arrived 10 minutes before 8pm and were greeted by Nur-E who literally shook our hands and welcomed us with open arms. The restaurant seats ~18 people so you can imagine how intimate, curated, and deeply rooted in tradition this dinner felt. Amma is from Dhaka, Bangladesh and with every course that came out, Nur-E described it to us in her expert storytelling ways! Everything we had was incredible. The Mango Lassi is blended by hand for that perfect consistency and refreshing, lightly sweet, homemade taste! After 5 whole courses came out, Nour-E came out and told us we had 7 more to go! So definitely come hungry and know you will leave beyond satisfied. My favorites were the Lau Chingri (Shrimp & Bottle Gourd Squash), the Rohu Fish Fried, the Murgir (Chicken) Roast & Palao, Beef Curry (Gorur Gostho) and Khashir (Goat) Biryani. Basically everything we had!! Each dish was balanced in depth, richness, and heat. The meats & fish were so tender, the rices were unbelievably fragrant, and the sauces were aromatic and layered rather than just spicy. The Rohu Fish Fried is imported from Bangladesh and lightly coated in spices and pan-fried until golden brown. This was my first time having this fish and it won't be my last! The Murgir (Chicken) Roast & Palao will live rent free in my head for a long time. It's richly caramelized, light yet aromatic, and deliciously comforting. I can see why this is usually a celebratory dish and is the only dish that Amma will serve at every Dawat Dinner! This dish is so popular that you can now find the recipe on Food & Wine. Speaking of accomplishments, the Lau Chingri (Shrimp & Bottle Gourd Squash) was named one of The New York Times' Best Dishes of 2025. We were also so lucky that Amma made her Mishti Doi for dessert! It's a sweet yogurt that has a custard-like creaminess and was the perfect way to end the meal after all those incredible flavors. We were so grateful to get a special one in a traditional clay pot. Also, there's tons of food but the staff will package any leftovers for you to take with you! They've literally thought of everything to make this an exceptional experience. Nur-E closed our dinner saying "food is life's greatest connector" and I couldn't agree more! Amma is truly an inspiration for opening Korai Kitchen at 61 years old, becoming a James Beard Nominee at 67 and getting 3 Stars from New York Times, and now signing her first cook book deal at 69. This is definitely in my top 10 meals of 2026 and is one of the most memorable meals I've ever had. I can't recommend Korai Kitchen enough.

Its been years from the last time I've had food from this place, so I decided to see if they are still open and to my surprise they were open and have even relocated to much bigger and cleaner ambiance. Ordered 2 meals (2 tandoor chicken and chicken sheek kabab). I specifically informed them while ordering that the individual eating the sheek kabab is allergic to chickpeas (choley) which comes as part of the meal. The person taking my order informs me that he will pack it separately. Upon arriving at the restaurant, I was told by the person giving my food that he made sure he packed the sheek kabab separately. I paid and headed back home (40 mins drive back to NJ). Lesson learned - I should have checked and will check moving forward when placing food orders if everything is correct. Of course, we got everything other than the sheek kabab. They made sure it was packed separately - so separate that they didn't even give/pack it with the remaining food order. We called back and spoke to Ansar (think that's what he said his name was) and Ansar said "sorry, we will credit you back when you come next time and get food." My wife asks him "how you going to remember this?" Ansar's response "oh we will we will, just mention and we will take care of it." SMH What businesses needs to start doing is, depending on situations, credit back to the account if a discrepancy has occurred. Of course, if I lived closely, I would have drove back but I'm not driving back 40+ mins for 2 sheek kabab.
