Walked past this place and decided to give it a try because I do like Indian food and was very…read morecurious about what "Pakistani" food is. I'm no expert but this place appears to be a bit of a fusion restaurant. The menu has options similar to typical Indian food such as butter chicken, but then it also has items such as a beef kebab! And the beef kebab did not have the Greek flavors so that you normally expect, so it was very interesting indeed! The reason I say it seems like a fusion place is because they also serve burgers! Anyways, I'm so glad I tried this place because I have found another place that has AMAZING CHAI. I love good quality chai, and many places serve bad chai that has not much quality of flavor. But the chai at Casa Lahori is amazing! It tastes homemade, and they even serve it to you in a beautiful tea cup. I will definitely return just for the chai. And I'd like to return to try other items on their menu. The waiter was friendly.

Came here on a weekday for lunch with a couple of friends. The restaurant has a spacious dining…read moreroom and a large outdoor pagoda seating. We were the first table to arrive, and only one other table came in during our meal. Our server was friendly and recommended a few of his favorite dishes. We ordered the Butter Chicken (4/5), Beef Kabobs (3.5/5), and Garlic Naan (4/5). The butter chicken was rich, creamy, and full of warm spices with tender chicken. The beef kabobs were flavorful with a nice grilled taste, though a little dry. The garlic naan was warm, fluffy, and buttery with plenty of garlic. Portions were enough for the three of us to share. There's a large parking lot right next to the restaurant, making it convenient. We'd definitely come back if we're in the neighborhood.

The naan was good though and a lunch special provided a good size serving. Just bummed it wasn't tastier. We had chicken kourma and chicken tikka masala and ate at the restaurant. They weren't at all busy but the person taking our order missed part of the order and then with the total lack of flavor, I would encourage folks to go somewhere else.

Now I finally understand why every time I drove by this strip mall, there was a long line out the…read moredoor and people waiting on the sidelines just to get their name on the list. LOL I really liked how easy the waitlist process was. You show up, scan the QR code, add your name, number of people in your party, and get updates while you wait. Super simple and convenient. The owner, Syed Afzal, was up front checking on things while guests were being seated and to-go orders were flying out the door. He was incredibly pleasant and took the time to chat with me about the most popular items, especially for a busy Friday night after 10pm. He went over the top sellers, the most unique dishes, and he even shared a funny story about a couple who had apparently gotten into an argument/fight a few weeks back over a reserved table. LOL He also mentioned the other restaurants he and his partners have opened throughout NorCal and SoCal. Such a cool, welcoming guy, and you can tell there's a lot of pride behind what they're building and they love what they do. Now let's talk about the food and the atmosphere. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully plated. The whole restaurant had such great energy, with so many guests clearly enjoying their food just as much as I was, and some were celebrating something special by the way they were dressed. I had the goat dum biryani, and while it was packed with flavor, it eventually got a little too spicy for me, even with plenty of raita on top. So I happily took the rest home for a visiting sibling who loves spicy food. The chicken malai kebab, though? Absolutely to die for. Tender, flavorful, and easily something I would order again and again. The service was top-notch and the staff always came with a smile. Multiple people checked on me throughout the meal, and the entire restaurant ran like a well-oiled machine. I can't wait to come back with a big group so we can order a ton of different dishes and try even more of the menu. This place is popular for a reason. Couldn't be happier!

Today was the first time I've done takeout, and I stopped by for the lunch special. I admit it's been a couple years since my last visit, so I was shocked at a 10% fee for credit card, on top of a 3% service charge. The lunch special is filling but it's a ton of carbs (rice and naan), and each of the two entries ended up spilling mostly out in both containers. Would really only recommend eating in and bringing cash.

The menu was a bit confusing, but I know that I like grilled veggies and Greek salad and then Ike was able to pick my protein that I wanted so that seemed easy enough. The base price with falafel or chicken Shawarma was Close to $16 but since I chose the meat, they added two dollars to my total. It took about 10 minutes for them to assemble my meal, but my veggies were cooked fresh on the stove, which was really nice. They tasted very freshly cooked just as they would as if I had cooked them myself at home. I was there about 1245 on a Monday and there were a few people there and they had some takeout orders so my order took about 10 minutes before I could walk out the door with it. They had a nice condiment bar where you could pick out some yogurt with dill sauce and then they're famous garlic yogurt sauce, as well as a jalapeño sauce And another spicy hot one that I would never try. When I got back to the jury room to eat my meal, I saw that there was a nice quantity of the fresh salad and the grilled vegetables but the meat was piled high! The employees were working efficiently and the place was spotless and orderly.
