    Chicken Tikka Masala. Perfect seasoning. Delectable cubes of tender chicken. Lots of onions and green peppers. Delicate, delicious rice.
    Janet R.

    Just fabulous! Service was excellent but the food was even better! The spices complimented each dish and everything was cooked to perfection. They're is even a Call button at the table in case you need something before they come check on you. We really liked that the water was bottled. The decor is authentic and colorful, creating a very pleasant ambiance. We'll be back next week!

    Baingan Bharta.
    Victoria S.

    A Pakistani-Indian restaurant with kabobs, Karahi and traditional fare. Indo Chinese selections are also on the regular menu along with larger dishes (meant for 2). They also have Haleem, nihari and halawi puri on the weekends as specials. Decor has nice art and wall hangings. We got a veggie biryani, baingan bharta and daal makhani. All were very solid and flavorful. The daal was very creamy and rich. The eggplants were spicy but not too overwhelming. These 2 entrees came with a generous portion of naan. The naan was piping hot, crispy on the outside with the right amount of doughiness on the inside. The biryani was fluffy and light with lots of veggies. The only difference compared with other biryanis is that this one didn't come with raita, but was still very good. Service was pleasant and professional.

    Lamb Shinwari
    Betty L.

    Went to try a Pakistani restaurant on a Friday night. It's a pretty big space but we were the only dine in customers. We ordered their Zarqa Karahi entree of lamb shinwari for two and a side order of chickpeas. The lamb came with naan. They did not temp down the spice level. However as spicy as it was, it seemed to need a bit more salt. Same with the chickpeas. We did enjoy the meal and the price is reasonable. It's part of a plaza with a lot of ethnic restaurants that catered to African or middle eastern tastes. Plenty of parking. Perhaps lunch time with their buffets draws a bigger crowd.

    LAMB CHOPS AND SHRIMP MASALA!!!

    The food was amazing and delicious. Enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and great service. I had the lamb chops and my daughter had the shrimp malsa. Mint lemonade was refreshing...

    Lunch buffet
    Taehong A.

    Had their buffet a handful of times. I only recommend their weekend buffet, as the weekday buffet is quite limited. And at that point, I would rather order from the menu. Also weekend is Saturday, Sunday. Not Friday. Favorite was the goat paya. Which makes this place unique as it's not a common buffet item. Butter chicken is more on the tomato side, which I personally like. Naan had good crisp texture, and buttery. I also think it's the most aesthetically pleasing Naan with how it shines, compared to nearby competitors. Biryani is just okay. Not completely bland, but wasn't special. They used to have saag paneer, but the last two times I went, the tray was labeled "out of order" Also, the last two times I went, they didn't do the "automatic 18% gratuity." Maybe it was a coincidence or maybe they're listening to the comments.

    Chicken Tikka

    This place is very tasty. It was our second time going. The first time we had Karahi which we loved! This time we had butter chicken (so good!) and chicken tikka. Ambiance and service is simple and traditional. Just a heads up not all dishes come with rice, like you would expect at an Indian food restaurant, but it comes with naan and you can always add rice if desired.

    Huge portion of buttered naan!

The service was great too. There's almost always someone nearby ready to bring more rice or whatever you need. With that said, I can't say I fully enjoyed my visit. After the first round of cooking your meat and the initial excitement wears off, you're basically left sitting over a fire that starts to burn your eyes while you're trying to eat. The plates are also pretty small, so fitting more than two pieces of meat at a time is a struggle. Another thing that threw me off was the sauces already being on the table uncovered when we sat down. It's hard to enjoy them when you don't know how long they've been sitting there. And yeah, while the service was great, it almost felt a bit too attentive. There was always someone watching us eat, which can be a little uncomfortable. Overall, it's a cool spot to try at least once if you've never been to this type of restaurant, but with all due respect, I don't see myself coming back.

The ribs are tender and each bite is packed with the flavor. They're slathered with sauce which may be off putting to some. For me, it was that perfectly fine balance between enough and flooded. Oh and the portion size? Amazing! Definitely enough to get full for dinner. Pass out for a minute then finish the rest the next day. The Mac and cheese was great. No, these aren't hand made noodles but the amount of cheese, the seasoning, evening l everything else was done expertly. If you want to save yourself an hour or two of cooking mac and cheese at home, get it here. The atmosphere here is very home cooking. It doesn't feel like it's some massive cookie cutter operation. It's nostalgic. This is what comfort food is supposed to taste like. Eating it made me think about fun times with the family back in Florida. While I made the order online, I was greeted as soon as I walked up to the counter. My order was done exactly when it said it would be done and was made with my additional request. I couldn't it be happier and look forward to many more orders and glad to have this place in the neighborhood.

Andrew is genuinely one of the best servers I've had anywhere. Super professional without feeling stiff, really easy to talk to, and just completely on top of everything. He managed the grill perfectly the whole time, paced the meat so nothing felt rushed or slow, and kept the heat just right without us ever having to ask. Our table never sat empty either. Banchan refills came out fast, drinks stayed full, and everything just flowed. What stood out the most was how seamless the entire experience felt. You don't realize how much that matters until you have someone who does it this well. It made the whole meal way more enjoyable. On top of that, the food here is already great and for $45 AYCE it's honestly a steal. But having Andrew take care of us twice now is what really made me want to leave this review. If you come here, definitely ask for Andrew if you can. He elevates the whole experience.
