Al Halal Zaiqa Restaurant

I’ve been coming here for a while now and have tried their omelette paratha breakfast with chai multiple times — it’s consistently really good and honestly reminds me of home (Lahore, Pakistan). The flavors feel authentic and comforting, especially with the chai. The owner is super nice and very friendly, which makes the experience even better. I’ve also tried their lamb biryani, which is delicious and well cooked. The only small note is that it can be a bit on the spicier side for non–South Asian palates, so slightly toning down the spice could make it more accessible to everyone. Overall, great food, great people, and a place I’d definitely recommend.

I ordered some butter chicken and naan. The butter chicken tasted like a fish dish where they just took out the fish and added some chicken. Perhaps this was not an authentic place to get butter chicken as butter chicken is a traditional dish that requires experience. But if someone is having a craving for butter chicken then shouldn’t a restaurant who’s offering butter chicken on their menu atleast try to make it properly? And even if it’s not butter chicken, atleast make some authentic pakistani dish that tastes good. Even if butter chicken kit tara taste nahi hoya, koi bhi acha salaan hoi. Acha salaan bhu nahi ta, mera $20 zaya hogiya. Naan bhi sasy nahi vo log na acha pakay, raw tah. I don’t recommend this spot for butter chicken, as it was a waste of my $20. Also, $20 for this small

Ordered some biryani from here and liked the flavors and the spice level. There was lots of meat in the rice and it wasn’t super oily or greasy. I also ordered a garlic naan and that was okay and tasted like any regular garlic naan.

Excellent small restaurant with care given at every level of service. Beef was tender as I've had in a large roast. Amazing flavor and spice, highly recommend

I have visited this place three or four times. I don’t have any complaints about the food, but the front desk needs someone who is a bit more active. Also, your payment machine is not working properly—the tap option hasn’t worked during all three of my visits. Please also reduce the color in the mango lassi. I like it to be super dark. And thank you for keeping the bathroom clean.
