There were many high points like the variety of drinks at the drink station, the elaborate iftar buffet and the small touches of Ramadan decor that felt intimate and special. The kababs here were juicy, well marinated and absolutely delicious. I appreciated the curries as well, and my aunt enjoyed their butter chicken a lot. Service was average as it was a packed dining hall so it was a bit on the slow side but whenever I went up to the counter to ask for something they were quick to get me what I wanted. My only complaint was that dessert was lacking. The shahi tukray were more on the bland side and the pumpkin halwa fell flat and was unappetizing. I hope they can up their dessert game to match other high quality restaurants in the area. Otherwise this is a nice family restaurant to enjoy a quality meal at.

Ordered biryani, haleem and naan. Biryani came out in a huge portion , i was surprised. Haleem came in a normal style serving tray. Naan was ok cut in 4 pieces.

Naan was ok too. I asked staff like does seekh kebab order have how many pieces they said 2 pieces. Prices were outrageous cuz 2 seekh kebabs for $18 or $19 is insane. Atleast halal

Consistency trumps any reasonable amount of quality in my humble opinion, which is why it's really…read morehard to judge a restaurant for good when you've only been there twice. Well luckily I've been inside their shiny marble halls enough time to pass my final verdict. For one, it seems like staff turnover is a concern here, as I often see new staff up front who are unfamiliar with their own menu or promotions while the food gives me an idea of what's going in the back. Which is to say, nothing has ever been consistently good here and there's been many occasions of food that's poorly seasoned, undercooked or simply spoiled. I know they have the ability to do better but is it worth the suffering for the opportunity? My answer is NO. For the markedly above average cost and inconsistent leaning poor quality, this isn't the local institution I would personally advise you to support. (Just FYI: I have had their dinner then brunch buffet multiple times, dined in, taken out and separately ordered delivery through a 3rd party app. I really had high hopes!)

This new Pakistani restaurant is a welcomed addition to growing East Plano food scene. Sandwiched…read morebetween Blue Fig market and Napoli's Italian, I was pretty eager to try them. I am familiar with Indian food so most of the names are recognizable, but the delicious differences are not to be missed! We ordered the lunch special which was $14.99 for 2 meats (one grilled and one in sauce), rice, a small salad of onions and lettuce, and dessert. I believe they specialize in grilled meats, cause the flavor was fantastic! The picture showed rice pudding for dessert but they came out with gulab jamen instead. I was disappointed at first but dang if that wasn't the best version of this I have ever had. I wanted a vegetable also so for the same price of $14.99 I got palak paneer and naan, which was a more earthy, less milky version as well. Naan was also best in class. I don't always love naan cause it can be rubbery. This was excellent. Soft and pillowy. It was so much food that we took it home and had a whole other meal. What a value for $14.99 each! The space is beautiful and though the clientele seems to be mostly Pakistani, they are welcoming to all. Service was a touch slow, but not painful. We still got in and out during our lunch break. I honestly think they just need more customers and so I want everyone to know that it was a new experience for me and I was super happy with the food. Welcome to the neighborhood Grand Tandoori!

One took 50 minutes and most recent took longer than an hour (we only ordered two dishes each time). While we like the combo plates, it's only meat. It screams for sauces, rice, maybe some veggies for relief from the meat-fest. Had items missing from orders. Calls to the restaurant about any concerns were basically sidestepped and we felt disregarded. Definitely out of the rotation for any future considerations.

I had ordered takeout for our trip back home to Florida: chicken biryani (fine, no issues), chapli kebab (taste ok, two very small patties provided), chicken karahai (taste ok, quantity too small) and beef Nihari (provided small amount ). They did pack the food nicely though. So, my two complaints are that the quantity, except for the biryani, were way smaller for the high price paid. Why is the restaurant being mean spirited with little amounts of food, especially in the month of Ramadan. Also, I was really annoyed and disappointed that the prices shown on their website are way lower than what I got charged when I went to pick up the food. I want the restaurant owners to reimburse me for $12 (we shall see how that goes). Not worth the trouble.

After a major renovation and locking down some more consistent staff, this former pool hall +…read morerestaurant concept leaned fully into their more successful sit down arrangement and cleaned up enough to bring in plenty of families plus consistent banquet hall reservations. The only thing holding them back has been consistency. Service has been fine overall, with staff coordinating with each other and making sure things are brought out correctly. An occasional reminder, especially for utensils, water, etc is needed but if you don't like being hovered over, you'll be happy here. As for the food, this is where I find things to fall short of ideal. Their American items are typically quite good with a short wait, but their South Asian/Fusion items can certainly be a hit or miss from night to night. When you're paying almost $20 per plate with add-ons of rice or naan, or possibly even more, you want to be sure the quality stays high. Furthermore, I've noticed that portions have gone down overall which is disappointing in terms of value. From their start to now, it's definitely been an improvement, but it's sad to see certain factors let them down from being one of the best spots around. They are still worth trying though, and their late hours make this a place I would personally recommend trying!
