This is one of the best South Asian restaurants I have ever went to. They have amazing food and wonderful customer service. The owner comes out to greet us and make sure we get good food. The food is always hot and fresh and super tasty. We also have a young kid who often times is running around the store, and they have never given us any problems with it, and in fact, are very nice and kind to him. Overall, it is a great store with a nice atmosphere and amazing food. I have taken family from out of town here because the food is so good and I would highly recommend checking them out.

Overall the experience my family and I had was amazing. We found the restaurant completely empty, which we enjoy. The food was great as well and everyone was complimenting the food while we were eating it. Only slight issue was the tandoori chicken was a little cold by the time we received our garlic naans. We ordered the beef nihari, garlic naans, chicken biryani, tandoori chicken, bhindi, and channa masala. Food was fresh and had an authentic taste. We were visiting from Toronto and would recommend people to come here and give the food a shot!

Top notch service. Can’t say enough good things about their customer care. We had halwa puri and cholay. Most places have too much oil in their halwa puri, but not this one. Puri was crisp, halwa was not overly sweet but just right. Cholay were also good. We loved the food!

I don’t know how to describe it— go see it for yourself. is it hygienic? Oily furniture‘s covered with food residue. How’s the service? completely getting ignored by the only server, who had been talking with AirPods in his ears for the past 10 minutes. he spend 10 minutes packing two boxes of simple food without ever thinking speeding up. And then someone else came in from front door, and this server start to serve them before me. Come at your own cost.

From the moment you step into this restaurant, you’re embraced by the inviting aroma of authentic Pakistani and Indian cuisine. The food is simply delicious, offering a perfect blend of spices in dishes like Biryani and Chana Masala. The Kheer dessert is an absolute delight, providing a sweet and satisfying end to the meal. Service is friendly and efficient, adding to the welcoming ambiance. This spot is a true gem for those seeking an unforgettable culinary journey.

I went with my family for halwa puri. We received exceptional service. The staff was very friendly and kept asking if we needed anything. The puris were not dripping with oil which was great and the halwa and channas were great too. Would definitely recommend.
