Reviews
Service was very good too Manger Khaild was our waiter very helping like his nature all servers are very nice and sweet but Kahild Bhai stands out
Atmosphere very big seating area, and the decor
I recently visited a Pakistani restaurant that left a positive impression with its overall dining experience. The interiors were thoughtfully designed, though perhaps slightly overdone with décor elements, giving the space a vibrant yet somewhat busy ambiance. Despite this, the restaurant offered a comfortable and inviting atmosphere suitable for both couples and large families.
The food quality was commendable, with a good balance of flavor and authenticity. The menu offered a range of dishes at reasonable prices, including several vegetarian options and even a dedicated kids’ menu — a thoughtful touch for families. The service was efficient, and the restrooms were well-maintained, reflecting the management’s attention to cleanliness and detail.
Overall, this restaurant provides a decent dining experience with tasty food, family-friendly facilities, and convenient parking. It’s a good option for those looking to enjoy traditional Pakistani cuisine in a welcoming environment.
Came on New Year’s Day and there was understandably a 15 minute wait but it was worth it.
I was on an office trip in NY and I went out of my way to order from here so I could bring the food back to Boston. The place looked clean, ambience was good, and the first impression was genuinely positive. I was honestly happy — after years, I thought I finally found authentic Lahori food. I even left a $30 tip purely out of excitement and trust in the menu/reviews.
But the disappointment started on the train ride back. I tried a few bites and my heart sank. And when I opened all the dishes at home… OMG.
The food bill was $381.58, and with the $30 tip it came to $411.58. Add Uber from/to Penn Station (~$230 round trip), and the total spend/effort was roughly $640+. For that price, I kept thinking: “I paid almost $400 for the food…(650 for the whole trip, and you can imagine my excitement ) and this is what I got? :'(”
Some items were acceptable but nothing special (chicken kebabs/tikka). The chicken wings were from very large/giant chicken — yes it’s more meat, but the meat was tough and almost tasteless, that typical “giant chicken” texture/flavor.
The biggest issue was authenticity vs. what the menu claims. The menu advertises things like Bhaiyya Kababs, Butt Karahi, Siddique fish, etc. Those names mean something, and what I received didn’t match those flavors at all.
Butt Karahi: not karahi at all. It tasted more like an onion qorma-style curry than real Lahori karahi.
Full Rohu fish (Siddique fish style): major disappointment — it did not taste like authentic Lahori-style rohu fish you expect from that claim.
Beef Chapli Kabab: dry
Beef Bhaiyya Kabab: dry, hard, and almost tasteless
Even the bread was a letdown:
Roghni naan was like baked bread — not authentic naan (photo attached for reference).
Important: I’m not writing this to stop people from coming here. I want the owners to own the claims — because if you truly deliver what the menu advertises, food lovers will gladly go out of their way to eat here and remember it for years. But right now, it didn’t match the promise, and the disappointment was real.
Definitely coming here again whenever visiting NJ
