I was excited to try this restaurant with a friend who highly recommend it, but we both left disappointed. The gola kabab, especially when paired with its accompanying onions and light green sauce, is a tasty appetizer, but it unfortunately gets overshadowed by the rest of our experience. I usually finish all my food, but the halwa puri was an exception. A piney-oil taste unfortunately overpowers every element in this dish. In retrospect, I believe it should have come with a curry on the side as well, so we missed that. The butter chicken has a tomato-based flavor palette, but I wished there is more curry sauce. This may be personal preference, but it felt like a saucy stir-fry vs a curry. Lastly, I don't understand why the food takes long to arrive at tables considering most of the food is just sitting in display, only needing to be reheated. read more

Mithas is a neighborhood institution, and I am shocked I haven't written about them before. This is an unassuming Pakistani restaurant on the bustling Coney Island Avenue. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by the crowds of neighbors waiting on their food. Service is pretty efficient, they don't take long to bring food out. I recently gave their mix grill sizzler a try which is made to order. The kabab tasted very fresh, the tikka was my favorite. Seekh kabab and other pieces of chicken were also good, although overall I found the meat a bit on the dry side. The samosas here are the absolute best in the neighborhood, the shell is crispy and thin, properly fried and the filling is delicious. Sweet sauce and green sauce are very good. Makhani chicken was average, but Im happy the sauce wasn't too runny or too greasy. There's some room for improvement with cleanliness, when it's busy here; I've had to take the spray bottle and wipe down the table top myself, but it's kind of like coming home and helping out... they are also very well known for their mango cream cake/pastry which is very delicious. If you are in the neighborhood stop by for the chai, samosa, chaat, pastries and everything in between. read more

They're not lying about the mango cake! It's literally a cloud with light whipped cream and mango goodness! It's the only thing I came for after reading reviews and I was left wanting to buy a whole cake.. and I still might read more

This is my go-to place. They have good food and excellent customer service. Best mango cake I've had in Brooklyn. I also think their samosa chaat is out of this world. I highly recommend to everyone I know when they are in Brooklyn and are looking for a quick bite. read more

They have good pani puri, sweets, and baked goods. the other food is just average. I only keep returning here for their pani puri and mango cake- which is very delicious and soft- almost like tres leches. Otherwise I wouldn't likely return. I only gave them 2 stars because I've actually come here many many times over many years and the staff always has a bad attitude, they all look and act like they don't want to be there, also they actively ignore you when you signal to them if you're not a regular customer (I think). I was trying to order a slice of cake- waited in line and everything and the one guy behind the counter actively started taking orders from the men in the line and skipped over me. Don't know if it's a gender thing. And I don't have issues speaking up nor do I not know how to order. It only ever happens to me at this particular restaurant. Also- they take our order, ask us to sit down- and then scream across the place because they can't remember what we've ordered... when we've already been seated and waiting for 5-10 mins. They take very long to get you your food. I'd only recommend if you're indifferent to customer service or there's a particular food that they have and you can't really get it as good somewhere else (like myself). read more

While visiting Brooklyn from Canada during a Canadian lockdown, I decided to get a haircut because in my city there are still no haircuts available. After doing some searching I ended up in the Muslim part of town. After my haircut I was getting a little bit hungry and decided to look for some food. Across the street is this bakery and when I went inside I also saw that they sell Indian and Pakistani foods. My favorite go-to food is always chicken biryani. I ordered that and a little piece of pistachio goat milk cake. The chicken biryani was awesome. I took it home and shared it with my host, it had a wonderful variety of flavors and was spicy but not too much. Very savory and far better than most biryanis I've tried even though it didn't seem to have exactly the normal mix of spices. It was very special. They provided three sets of two sauces, which was a sweet one and a yogurt chutney. That was perfect because actually made three meals out of it, two that night, and one the next night. For $7.... I deducted one point from my review, simply because I asked for the pistachio cake and I pointed to one piece that had a lot of pistachios, and was a pretty good size. But they ended up giving me a piece that had only one single sliver of pistachio.. And the piece was a small one compared to the one I pointed to and I asked for. Not that I should really be eating sweets because they're not good for me. But the cake was delicious, and it tasted pretty healthy too as it's just milk and sugar. read more

I would give them 0 stars if I could! I ordered 2 samosa chaat because I thought Pakistani people know how to make this best. WRONG. If you want samosa chaat, avoid this place like the plague. It had more onions and potatoes than anything else. Absolutely trash. I took 2 bites and had a stomachache since. PLEASE AVOID. Edit: we got food poisoning from this food. read more

Saturday April 13 1:26 pm i walk in at 1:10. No on behind the counter I call out hello like 5 times. There is one cook to right pouring food into the containers. He doesn't go get anyone for help. I call out hello a few more times by this tim Im waiting 5 minutes. Other customers are making fun of the owner and the other workers who don't come to the front Fialy after 11-12 minutes after me calling out a guy comes to the front and asks me rudly "what do you want"? WTF? What do I want? I wanted food but not from rude servers. I told him a better response would be "how can I help you?" Instead of what do you want? Im never eating here again, if you want no customer service and rude treatment just for wanting to orser to go to this shitty place. There are way more friendlier places on Coney Island Ave that will be happy to serve you with a smile and treat you like a paying customer! read more

1) Their food is delicious and so reasonably priced! 2) It is open 24h!!! Going home late at night but having an option to eat some amazing authentic Indian/paki food. Heck yea! 3) They give you free chaat (a type of mix salad) if you dine in. 4) They will let you sample any of the desserts for free! I came here at 4am on a late night. I asked for the lunch box which is $7.99 for 2 curries and a rice. I got fish curry, lamb curry, and chicken biryani. All for $7.99!!!! I also got roti $.50, and sheesh kabob $1 I also got a sample of free desert to go, the gulab jamun. It was amazing Their customer service isn't the best but the food is so worth it!

Nice place to try Indian, Bangladeshi and pakistani food. Excellent customer service, fine dining and tasty food. Highly recommended.

It's overwhelming how many sweets this bakery produces on a daily basis. I didn't even know they were 24 hours until I checked yelp. This is the kind of stop where cash payment is rewarded with no tax and the woman who manages the front remembers your order the first time around for when you return. Language barrier? Not a problem! At a dollar per Samosa, I come here for a cheap-three-Samosa-lunch when I'm in a rush- which is now always. Slightly spiced potato-y deep-fried goodness FTW! read more

Great little bakery in Brooklyn's Little Pakistan. As a vegetarian, I have to admit there's not a whole lot for me to eat here, but the breads are fresh, and the namkeen lassi hits the spot on a summer day. read more

This joint opened some time ago to replace the appalling "HFC" (Halal fried chicken). Anyhow, I spent $9 for a great meal to take home. While I found the food was lacking the heat I'd expected, it had great flavor. The desserts I picked up were great, but too pricey at $1 each. Come specifically for the naan, which I believe they make cook when you order it ($1, afaik)! I'm not sure if it's a mistake, but I got 2 samosas for $1, which seems too good to be true. They were tasty. I got the food to go and it was room temperature. I microwaved it at home to make it warm, but I'm not sure how I feel about this. If it was warm, I would know it's microwaved, but should they have done it? (end rant) read more

It was a total disrespect and a zero attention customer service. First of all, they pretend like they are busy but they are actually not. There was only one table with 4 people having their dinner and 4 staff who don't care who came in and what he/she wants. The most interesting part is I ordered a food to go and waited half an hour and when I asked how long more it was going to take he said what do you wanna order. I said I ordered half an hour ago and he pretends like he does not understand. The system of ordering sucks here and I will never visit this place. read more

The cleanliness in this restuarant is horrible. You can just go in and look and you would see dirt and dirty stuff. As well as in the kitchen and the salads. I also saw a mosquito ( maybe a dead on)on their cakes. I took a picture of it for proof. On top of that the staff is also very bad. Unless they know you they won't really care to take your order. You can just stand there and they would walk right by you.and when they do take your order the food is going to take forever anyways. read more

Sweetness - Mosquito on their cake - Indian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

terrible customer service, employees are always and I mean always busy gossiping with each other. I mean you could literally stand there for 30 mins and no one will approach you for your order because they are busy socializing. Trust me I have been living in this neighborhood for 12 years, every time I decided "yk what maybe they have changed" I was wrong. And when you complain about your order or their service even as a feedback, they respond with "go buy elsewhere then". Lol after todays experience im never going there. To add on to that, I had found a hair in my naan in last order. Yes a HAIR. They are not sanitary, their food tastes bad, and they have no sense of respect towards their customers. Trust me and avoid this place. read more

5 stars for the excellent food for an extremely reasonable prices! We've gotten take-out from here 2 times. I only went in this second time and arrived a good 5 minutes before my husband so was looking at the food behind the counter and one of the guys there was really helpful and attentive and said what each dish was when I asked. We got a lot of different dishes and they let you select small, medium or large containers which is great if you want to try a bunch of things. So tonight we had chicken tikka, butter chicken, and another chicken dish with spinach sauce maybe like a saag. We also had a chickpea dish, sesame bread like a naan, rice, and they gave complimentary salad with potatoes, chickpeas and romaine, and a yogurt type sauce. I had to avoid some hot peppers in a few of the things we ordered or it was too hot for me but if I avoided eating the peppers, the spice-level was fine. Last time we had tender grilled chicken (which we actually hadn't ordered) that was incredible, a daal and veggie samosas for only $.75. Seriously, absolutely everything has been incredibly delicious and it's very affordable. That butter chicken!! Omg so freakin' good. I also really liked the bone-in chicken with spinach sauce. Tonight's meal along with a box of assorted sweets came to $32 but we really bought a lot of food. My husband and I just moved to the neighborhood a couple months ago and so far this is the best food that we've had that's casual/affordable. The menu is quite extensive so I look forward to continuing to try new things- especially since I have not had a single thing I didn't like! I know we will be take-out regulars. The decor is definitely lacking/minimal diner/fast food looking, so not sure I'll want to eat there when I can bring it home a couple blocks away and enjoy with wine! read more

My wife and I were craving something flavorful and spicy but didn't want to wait too long for our food. We decided to hit our local desi restaurant that somehow we managed to avoid for the last 3 months. We ordered our usual food (chicken biryani, chicken curry, lamb kebabs a few nans and some samosas) and hurried back home to eat dig in. As usual the meal was on point hitting all our flavor favorites. The food while spicy was not overbearing and you could actually enjoy the meal with drinking 10 cups of water. The samosas in particular were so good. Nice and crisp on the outside but soft and flavorful on the inside. The only negative comment I have would be the chicken curry and the lamb kebabs were a little on the cold side. We warmed them both up and we were in business. Def recommend this place for a great meal at an even better price. read more

This is the best Pakistani food in Brooklyn that I've eaten...it reminds me of a home cooked meal. The quality and taste are very different from all of the other restaurants on the strip. I believe the cook might be from Kashmir which is why this food tastes much different then all of the other overly seasoned stuff you find on Coney Island Ave. I love this place so much I'm so happy I found it. Also, it's very very very clean. Try the chicken pulao and ask for the aloo gobi read more

The service is extremely poor, no one speaks English well. The tables are never clean, you can see the grease left by previous customers. The food is also not fresh. I've come in multiples times throughout the week only to see the same meals reheated and served . It's clear that the food is made in bulk and held for days if not sold. I recommend NOT eating here only because it's a health hazard. read more

I saw the amazing reviews and decided to try it out. I ended waiting for 50 minutes for my food which was stale and cold. The biryani was cold and tasted spoiled. The customer service is one of the worst I've experience. Apart from the lady who was trying very hard to be helpful, the other staff members were just rude and dismissive. Ever again. read more

Updating my review of them from 4 to 5 stars They catered for my office party and the food was on time, delicious, and the personalized service was something I am very happy about. Prices are extremely reasonable. Will continue coming here and bringing my business here. Thank you! read more

Walking past Mithaas, one can't help but notice the fresh mithaee (indian sweets) staring back from the large glass cases. Hence, the temptation overtook my senses and i stumbled inside. Unlike most pakistani/indian spots, Mithaas is clean and the aroma of fresh food make this place a viable stop for families and friends. Their mithaee was fresh and priced at the standard $6/lb, however wasn't anything special. On the other hand, their Jalebi was sweet and crispy and definitely was their best offering for the day. Overall, the prices are fair and the place is clean, thus making it a spot worth visiting at least once. read more

My husband and I love Indian food and this place is perfect! I need to preface by saying that we do not speak Urdu, Bengali, Kashmiri or any other Indo-Ayran language. Why this is important, because we don't know the proper names of the food items, and the guys who work there are always happy to explain, cooperate with our pointing or giggle with us as we mess up the names of the few items we do know. They also provide you small nosh to aid in your choice of food. So with that out of the way, here's what you do need to know: This place is awesome. From food to service and price. They have this great spicy liver dish, great samosas and a tasty mixed grill. Also I see locals stopping by for mounds of fluffy naan, and it is awesome! The chicken naan is great too! They have an incredible selection of sweets, which are insanely good! I no longer want a birthday cake, I want 50lbs of sweets from here! Also, who said cupcakes are the new best thing? Obviously they have never tried Indian sweets. Cupcakes are boring and vanilla. Get Indian sweets! Gulab Jamun Jalebi Halwa Some other awesomely delicious sweets, you should try, just take the plunge! It's food, and there's no mistake to be made here. So if you're intimated because you don't speak the language or don't know your naan from your roti, stop and go to MITHAAS. They will be happy to help you. And you will be happy for it! read more

I come here to eat breakfast sometimes when I'm feeling indulgent. Saved me from having to make the trek to Jackson Heights for halwa poori, and I like their pooris better than the ones from Jackson Heights. They also make really delicious parathas. REAL parathas, not hard fried rotis. I've never had their methai but have heard they have a mango pastry that is very popular. I'm only giving four stars because I haven't tried many of the other things on their menu, besides the breakfast stuff. read more

I was in the area last night around picking up something from my mother's house in the area....when hunger struck, so I pulled up yelp and checked this place out. I ordered the Malai chicken kebab and a beef Sikh kebab. In my hungerness, I thought I was about to regret my decision after placing the order my food was not out within 5 minutes. Then the guy behind the counter reassured me by saying "we apologize for the wait, we take our time cooking the food here fresh, there is nothing pre made. We wouldn't feed you anything we wouldn't feed ourselves." He then Gave me a menu and said I can call in advance and they would have it ready. I must admit....I liked that. He was right, ide rather them take they're time preparing my food, and keep it fresh. I can respect his statement. Now onto the food....I must admit I had prepared to watch Jessica Jones on Netflix while eating but my ride home became a mess of me driving, trying to eat naan, and kebabs at the same time. The spices tasted rich, like they were actually picked the same day and not dry, the meat tasted fresh, the flavor combination was perfect. The food never made it to my house as everything was done by the time I got home. I highly recommend this place and will be coming back repeatedly! read more

How have I not yet rated this place?!? This is my go-to place with my gal pals whenever we're in the area. It's not too small, not huge. Just right.. The food is also pretty good and fresh (only one [out of 10-15 times I've been there] incident when I bought gol gappe made to take home only to find later on that the filling had gone bad... ) What pulls us in there is the keema nan with that sweet sauce and green sauce that they have. The hint of spiciness is just enough to keep us wanting more! The slim, late 40something(?) year old man there is also super nice and friendly! Not a bad place to get your sweet or savory fix. read more

Amazing place. I actually just randomly walked in and stumbled upon this gem. The food is amazingly authentic and the mixed grill sizzler is to die for. The meat is so tender and succulent it has one asking for more. Aloo Tikki Chaat is amazing as well, the amount of flavor with each bite is stunning. As I'm sitting here right now, this place is great for a casual meal with your family or friends and trust me when I say you won't complain at all. Great food. read more
