I don’t see what’s all the hype about from this place. It doesn’t even have any flavor to the food but they charge high prices compared to a fancier spot. The foods are pretty bland and not that good. Growing up eating flavorful food and trying places that have flavor and spices from the food isn’t that hard to distinct. I came to try the viral smash burger it’s literally so bland the burger meat itself has no flavor.. The only food that tasted okay at best was the lamb shank biryani rice was dry but it had some what spice on it. The other dishes are pretty bland and mid to be honest better off at any other spots and top of that the host is kinda picky offering free desserts to certain guests and showing it off loud and proud. Don’t come here it’s not worth the hype it died out back in the day and isn’t the same as before.

Vibes were great — loved the gol gappa and drinks. For the main course, we had butter chicken and paneer roll, which were just okay. The desi fries are definitely a skip.
I was a bit disappointed because I had called ahead to arrange a surprise cake for my friend’s birthday. They forgot about it, and while the staff apologized and eventually brought the cake out, they took the bill back to charge me full price for it — which felt a little unfair since the surprise was already missed.

Honestly disappointed was very excited to try the paratha smash burger and chicken tikka bowl. The food was very greasy and made all of us feel very queasy afterwards. Additionally, one of our water cups had some sort bug/ miscellaneous item inside. The food also took quite a while to come out around 45 minutes, which isn’t always the worst but the restaurant seemed mostly empty when we went. However, our waitress was very kind and professional which was the saving grace of our experience

Definitely a place anyone who eats out at on Metro should try out.
Service (especially Vani is great!) and food is reliably good, and appreciate the thought put into the decor and fun atmosphere – there’s a Street Fighter arcade machine and foosball table, and the courtyard/back room suited us well for 40 guests when we rented it.

I had a wonderful experience at Parathawala today !!! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. What made the visit truly special was how they went out of their way to celebrate my birthday it was such a thoughtful and memorable gesture. The atmosphere was cozy, the service was excellent, and the overall experience left me really happy. Highly recommend this place for great food and even better hospitality. I’ll definitely be coming back!

My family and I went there on Thursday. My spouse who is very picky, my dad as well…loved the food and our lovely waitress/hostess was fantastic. I did forget her name but she was absolutely sweet and very efficient. The food omg was delicious, the tea was good, the bottled water was great. The whole restaurant was amazing. We are trying to convince the rest of the family to go. Thank you. We had an amazing time at the restaurant.

Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had! Our server Vani was so nice, attentive, and helpful with the menu. I will be dreaming of the Samosa Chaat. Extremely reasonable prices for the quality of the food and service. Highly recommend!

The food here was overall very delicious. It was a little overpriced, I believe, considering the servings were pretty small. But the taste was pretty good. The drinks were also amazing, 100% Halal and Non-alcoholic! Our server Vani definitely enhanced our experience. She was very kind, helpful, and super sweet. Definitely recommend, worth a shot!

Visited Paratha Wala Inc this morning with two friends for breakfast. The place has a nice vibe, and most of the food tasted great. We loved the Chicken Momo—fresh and flavorful—and the Lamb Kadai, which was a delicious recommendation by Himi.
A special shoutout goes to Himi, whose warm hospitality and great suggestions truly elevated our experience. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. We’re genuinely grateful for her excellent service.
However, we did find the Beef Kala Vuna, a renowned Bangladeshi dish, to be underwhelming compared to the rest. It lacked the depth of flavor typically expected from such a classic.
Overall, a great spot with friendly service—we’ll definitely be back!

Amazing food!
My partner loved their papdi chaat & their lychee lemonade drink. I loved their half chicken tandoori which was sharable between 2/3 people easily. Their sauces are real game changer! And the owner is super nice and accommodating. An absolute gem
