★★★☆☆ 3.0 Zia Syed · Nov 2025

Well, this dinner buffett is just alright. Nothing fancy, nothing extraordinary. Some of the items we tried were stale. Positive things going for this resturant is the Host, he is hospitable and a warm person.

Hey, guess what? I had such a great time today! 😊 My friend and I went to this cool restaurant to get some catering stuff. We weren't expecting much, but wow, were we in for a treat! The owner, Mr. Abbas, was super nice and friendly. Here's the best part - Mr. Abbas gave us some free mix grill to try! 🍖 It was so good! The meat was really fresh and tasty. I loved every bite. Oh, and the green chutney was amazing too! 🌿 Mr. Abbas told us it was a special recipe from Karachi. It had this tangy, spicy flavor that went perfectly with the grilled meat.

I went in with my family for a Sunday buffet and I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Was greeted warmly as soon we walked in. The owner made sure, we were comfortable and was checking on us throughout the stay. The food was fresh and delicious, had good variety of options. I would deft be back in the future. Two thumbs up!

I had my daughters Ameen here this past Saturday. We had an over 100 people and everyone liked the food. As part of the dinner we had chicken nuggets and fries, channa chaat and chicken 65 for appetizers. For the main courses we had chicken biryani, karahi chicken, goat korma, chicken noodles, and mixed grill. They provided salad, naan, and chutneys. For dessert we had kheer and gulab jamun. The chai was great. I would to say a big thanks to Mr. Abbas Rana the owner.

After having this Pakistani restaurant on my radar for some time, I finally had the opportunity to visit—and it did not disappoint. I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and opted for the buffet, which offered an impressive variety of traditional dishes. The food was truly outstanding. Each dish was well-prepared and flavorful, with a balanced use of spices that allowed the natural ingredients to shine. Unlike many South Asian buffets that rely heavily on heat, the spice levels here were moderate, making it accessible to a wider range of palates while still delivering authentic taste. Overall, the experience was a delightful introduction to the restaurant’s culinary offerings. I look forward to returning and exploring more of the menu.
