★★★☆☆ 3.0 Essam Suleiman · Dec 2025

We stopped at this restaurant on our way back home from the south. The establishment offers halal food, as stated, and the owners are Muslim. They provide a variety of dishes, and the restaurant appeared busy, with a steady flow of customers. There is no table service; orders are placed at the counter, and the food is brought to the table. The food was prepared in a clean manner and served on proper plates with silverware, which was appreciated. In terms of flavor, however, it did not fully meet my expectations. Having tried many Indian restaurants, I found the food here to be average. While it was acceptable, the seasoning and spice levels were relatively mild, and the flavors were not as rich or robust as those I am accustomed to for similar dishes elsewhere. Overall, the experience was

We ordered both the chicken haleem and mutton haleem, and unfortunately they were quite disappointing. I was expecting a thick, rich, and flavorful dish, but both were very watery and lacked salt. It honestly felt like the consistency had been diluted before packing. I wouldn’t recommend ordering the haleem here. On a positive note, the Chicken 65 was good though.

★★★★★ 5.0 Abdul Bari Mukhliss · Feb 2026

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a wonderful Pakistani restaurant, and it was an experience worth savoring. From the moment I walked in, the warm hospitality and inviting aroma of spices made me feel at home. The ambiance was cozy yet vibrant, reflecting the rich culture and traditions of Pakistan. The food was absolutely outstanding. The biryani was fragrant and perfectly spiced, with tender pieces of meat layered with flavorful basmati rice. The chicken karahi arrived sizzling hot, cooked in a thick tomato-based gravy infused with ginger, garlic, and green chilies — bold but beautifully balanced. Fresh naan came straight from the tandoor, soft and slightly crisp at the edges, perfect for scooping up every last bite of curry. What truly stood out was the authenticity of the flavor

★★★★★ 5.0 Adil Khan · Dec 2025

The food was fresh and delicious especially Beef haleem, Beef Chapli kabab, fish pakora, garlic naan. The place was very clean and the customer service was really nice and attentive.

★★★★★ 5.0 bilal alvi · Feb 2026

Love the owner Aamir and his wife. Always great food, love the new expansion, the ambiance. The food is amazing love the buffet they have on the weekends. Great menu options and selections. Off the dinner menu my favorite is the Afghani kebabs absolutely delicious, chicken handi is also delicious, chicken biryani, chicken tandoori the spicy flavor also delicious. I would highly recommend them.
