Customer Review Summary
Biryani is the draw most reviewers return to, with one regular coming every Friday for the chicken version, another eating there around 50 times and praising the salty biryani, and a third calling the lamb biryani tasty and very spicy. Close behind is the value, with diners describing the food as cheap, hearty and home cooked, and one visitor listing tawa chicken, nihari, daal, samosa pakoras and haleem. One reviewer calls the saag aloo the best they have had. Staff are described as friendly, humble and kind, and one regular says the owners make it feel like home. The complaints are specific. One reviewer says the shami kabab, haleem and paye all had an off smell and found the staff rough, and another says prices have gone up and the food was nothing special. A third reports being charged far more than the menu stated for a lamb biryani, a dhal ghost with only one small piece of meat, and a can of coke, and urges others to check the bill carefully.

“I had a very disappointing experience here. I ordered shami kabab, haleem and paye — every single item had an unpleasant, off smell and was not nice at all. On top of that, the staff attitude was really rough and unfriendly. Would not recommend and will not be returning.”
