“ Delicious & flavorful food! I had the butter chicken & garlic Naan bread! ”
“ The food here is amazing. Fresh and delicious every time I ate here or ordered takeout. I don’t know why there is so many bad reviews but do not believe it and go try for yourself. You will not be disappointed! Try the garlic naan and the tandoori chicken it is delicious. Also there is BIG sign that says there is a fee for using cards. They do not process unnecessary charges! ”
“ Best Pakistani food I've ever had! Service was very attentive - nice conversations and friendly interactions. We're excited to go back soon! ”
“ Tried the kebabs-chicken tikka, Malai kebab, bihari kebab. The best kebabs I've ever had hands down. I normally don't write reviews but I just had to. Incredibly juicy and tender chicken. I asked them to make it spicy and they made it extra scrumptious. I'm ordering kebabs from this place again whenever I have guests over 100%. Must try ”
“ As an Indian this is really good place to have authentic food. No hype and nothing but good food. You will get warm welcome from the owners. Try the homemade kulfi too. ”
“ I call this place Yaaron ka Adda. When you go there at night time with your friends and order spicy Panner bhurji and chicken kadai it has another vibes. All times favorite restaurant. ”
“ Limited vegetarian options, unlimited joy. Paneer Bhurji, Dal Tadka, Palak Paneer Makhni, Jeera Rice: 10/10 Naan, Peshawari Naan, Whole Wheat Roti: 10/10 *Don't miss out the starter: PANEER TIKKA SHASHLIK* Takes 20 minutes minimum to serve because everything is freshly cooked. Authentic species, and trust me, the best. The ambience can be much worked on, but someone who loves food more than the view, you are missing it if you don't visit this place. To all those people who miss that "desi dhabha" taste, this is surely at your rescue. (Visited it 11 times in a month since the first time I went there!!!) ”
“ Basic dine in option with amazing food. The main cook came out to take order and we told him that we haven’t had Punjabi food for a long time and make it like that’s available in Punjab. He took care of the rest. Food was amazingly delicious and reminded me of some of the best restaurants in north India. Kebab was succulent and butter chicken was fantastic. Will be back again. ”
