Lots of various sweets
Zev B.

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.

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.

Rude AF restaurant
sascha a.

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!

$7.99 for the "lunch box combo" you can ask for this at any hour. Fish curry, lamb curry, and chicken biryani!

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! If you would like to see more local cheap eats or Indian recipes, check out my YouTube or ig @foodie_nishi! Thank you so much!

Butter chicken, nahh, salad, fried tilapia
Abdelrahman A.

Butter chicken and fried fish over rice and chickpea sauce. Great food, friendly service and cheap prices.

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)

Stopped into Lahori Chili because we were craving some spice. This location seems small but it's…read morepacked with delicious Pakistani Halal food. Take out or dine in, the choice is yours. We started with samosas, two types; vegetable and chicken. These savory pastries were packed with well season veggies and chicken. The crust was light, flaky and perfectly crispy. The Lamb shanks was so tender, the meat fell of the bone. The spinach and paneer, a homemade cheese, paired well with the shank and vegetable fried rice. This spicy concoction cut through the heaviness of the meat dishes like a butter knife. The combination of flavors complimented each other and balanced the meal perfectly. The chai tea is a must. The original, smells and tastes like warm caramel. The "Kashmir chai" is an acquired taste. Less flavor intense than the regular chai but the pretty pink color adorned with shaved pistachio was a hit for the kids. If you still have room, carrot pudding, basil seed sherbet, assorted fudge and sweets are at your fingertips. Prices are reasonable, won't break the bank. I guarantee you will enjoy the experience.

I come here with deep guilt and shame because it is unfathomable to me how I have still not written…read moreabout my every day go to place off the bustling Coney Island Avenue. A true institution in Little Pakistan, Lahori Chilli is an iconic restaurant nestled in the very busy row of neighborhood staples off of Foster Ave. This is a no-frills place serving up every day Pakistani cuisine in a Homey setting. There are booths for your comfort or an adjacent dining hall if you're here with family. They have some hot items almost every day that you can choose from, visible through the greasy glass of the display case. The sweets here are very very good, I particularly enjoy their falooda. Recently also sampled their gulab jamun, and they were to die for. Another dish they are super well known for is their battered masala fish fillet. This is something you have to dine in for to truly appreciate. It comes piping hot, crispy, and with just the perfect amount of masala dusting on top. A true culinary gem if you ask me. It has no bones and the crispy batter is the lightly crunchy without being super oily or greasy like a lot of other fried fish. The fish inside is moist, has no smell and is flaky. It is absolute perfection. Other things I absolutely love on their menu are their chicken seekh kababs and their kofta curry. Those two are usually my go to when I'm ordering food to go or delivery. I do want to give some feedback on a few things though. First of all, it's a little annoying that all the meat dishes are chicken only like I would like to see beef or lamb chapli kabab and seekh kabab. Why is the keema aloo chicken only? I wanna see lamb keema and beef keema on the menu. I also have noticed with some of the items that are in the buffet, they can have that smell sometimes that tells you that the food has been sitting out and not kept at the recommended temperature. A lot of food I order from the glass case goes bad the next day. I need the owner to implement better food safety. We also need more cleanliness around the dining area and spruce up the entrance a bit so people who are not local and privvy to desi food can have a clean and quality hole in the wall dining experience. Either way this restaurant is a place that I continue to frequent year after year. Thank you for feeding and nourishing this community.

The chicken was fresh and tasty but I could manage only half and had it packed. 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.

I love tasting new restaurants and wanted to stop by this place . Fantastic location . Right in the heart of Lexington Avenue . Lots of other restaurants nearby. Lots of space inside to sit and eat . Even though the ambience is not that great , it's ok for a quick lunch .. service could be better. All guys go inside the kitchen and hardly come out . Wish they had a bell or something in the counter outside for the customers to call them . Sometimes you keep waiting for many minutes before they come out . For the price , food was good . They have many food items on display and we chose some curries .. quantity was good . Naan , white rice and 2 non veg curries for 13.50$. Not bad. ... goat curry was good . Perfect Lahori taste . Chicken curry was average . Could have tasted better . My only issue is presentation. The y just mix all curries in rice and they are smashed all across the plate . Wish they give these curries in separate containers so we can enjoy the flavor of each curries . Another thing is they just reheat these curries . They are precooked . Sometimes with that , we wouldn't know if it is fresh . It tasted fresh though. Overall a good restaurant but giving them 3 stars . Will visit again and check and improve my ratings if needed

We at this on the sidewalk so it was still fresh when we got it. But for us the food just didn't hit. I recognize it's fusion, but maybe the way things were meant to be balanced didn't mesh. The (impossible burger patty) lahori felt quite bland. Maybe because the burger patty was so thick, but it just kind of was overwhelmed by generic beef patty taste which wasn't what I was expecting. The nihari had some really good flavor, but I found the bread was somehow both quite dry and soggy at the same time. It's hard to describe, but I felt like it was working against the actual nihari flavor. Sadly I do think something like naan or basmati rice would've been better. The fries were pretty unremarkable, too. Just tasted like fries you'd get at your local bodega. I don't expect the wheel to be reinvented when it comes to fusion restaurants, but I just felt nothing actually balanced themselves well (at least for what we ordered). For $50 pre-tip, I'm a bit disappointed. This place has been on my hit list for a while, but I can't see myself wanting to go back. Staff was friendly and the space, albeit small, can fit groups of 2-4 pretty easily. I have a few friends that really like this place, so maybe I'm just the odd one out.

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!

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.
