Came in for another try at lunch time. This time there were ladies working and making the food and…read morethe experience was much different, better. The service was similar, it was decent, but the food tasted so much better this time! The naan was made better... The chicken Karahi was very nice and spiced just about perfectly. The chutney was really good, as I recall it was the last time. Their salad was very fresh and a nice addition to the curry. Overall, I enjoyed this visit so much more and the spice and flavors are what set Pakistani food apart (and make it sooo much better than) Indian food! I know that might not be a popular comment, but it's true and those who know the difference will be happy to hear this and give this place a try! (Though I will say - they should probably play some music in the dining room, not kid's TV and having their kids in the lobby arguing and fighting with each other while watching cartoons... it's a business afterall)

You know this review is sooooo late although sooo ontime!…read more The service was soooo awesome and they really know their food and gave me options, I wasn't sure about. Which They sat down with me like family, we talked we ate! By far the best experience with an essence of home! By far the best Pakistani Food I have ever had in the DMV... I'm still craving the taste that is remarkable! I ordered door dash/ uber eats as well and it's always fresh and great tasting! When I say phenomenal I really mean they put a lot of love into their food! Also it's clean the ambience is nice and refreshing! And you can rent for parties and events!!! The only Con is that their food is expensive and only comes with the Naan. For 40 bucks for each of the best entrees I have tasted and all you get is bread on the side, no salad no rice is really disappointing. The entree is a nice size but for the money for just an entree can leave you unfulfilled. For that price they should definitely have sides of at-least rice even if no salad. The Halwa Puri is amazing and addictive and very affordable, leaves you wanting more and more and gracious of 3 large portions. Chicken Palau- Is tasty fragrant and flavorful- good portion! no side Mutton Shinwari- OMGEEEEE I been looking for that taste and can only find it here!!! Good portion only Naan side ‍ Chicken Pakistani Karahi - YUMMY Amazing flavor good portion, only Naan side. Shinwari Lamb - OMGeeee pick me up off the floor please When I say these foods are amazing thank me later. only Naan Side... I spent 116.00 That's a lot with no sides... frfr So I also have ordered door dash to check the consistency and price and flavor. That's where I kinda had to really think entree with only Naan it's too pricy although it's quality it should atleast have a side, maybe you can ask to substitute, which maybe in store definitely not onl All in all I will go back if you can substitute, like I said thank me later

Faris took time to tell us about the menu and recommended an amazing grill combo! We had grilled lamb chops, chicken,koftah, rice, side salad, fresh pita, and salsas. Two of us couldn't finish it all! The flavors were amazing! I really enjoyed the lentil soup we had with our hummus starter. The soup came out the perfect temperature. Not too hot not too cold legit just right! I had the shai which was delicious! Black tea with spices. And Faris was kind enough to give us each a sample of the shai adani , black tea with condensed milk and spices. I'll for sure order a cup next time. Think chai latte flavor! The restaurant itself is very nice inside and there's an outdoor patio as well! We will for sure be back!

The flavors of the food were decent without too much spice. The mango lassie drink was outstanding! My greatest concern with my visit was not even the 2 hour wait for my meal (I am somewhat patient and understand the overwhelming feeling a busy first night can cause). My concern, as I waited at the window, was the food handling. I watched as the gentleman prepared the seekah kabob of raw beef shaped into a tube onto a skewer and prepared raw chicken onto skewers, in addition to other drippy raw meats, and then help to prepare plates for serving. The young lady at the window was diligently using gloves and changing after payments, for the most part. I wanted to say something, but after a two hour wait and knowing this is their first day, I held my tongue, watched as the gentleman touched all over the outside of my container, and a little bit inside, and took my $40 meal home. I had a lamb chop platter with spinach, salad, and rice with naan, and I wanted to try the butter chicken as well so I got that with chick peas. I threw out the salad, put my food onto a plate and heated everything before blessing my food. Final thoughts...I am giving three stars because I see the potential and would not want a negative review to blow their confidence, and I hope they take time to assess this evening to make improvements on an awesome food truck idea. I will return to give it another try.

It's still…read morearound and since I was craving some good Middle Eastern eats, I stopped in recently on a weekday and the first sign I should have left was that no one else was there. The second sign - it smelled nothing at all like a place that makes anything with curry, it smelled like cleaner. The fixtures, décor, and leftover (from the gas station that it used to be) slurpee and other machines all tell me the folks who own this place put nothing at all into it... So, one would hope they put their love into the food.... I tried their beef seekh kabob with a side of chick peas... The flavors and style is more Persian, maybe Afghan, but definitely NOT anything with flavor! Those are bland and basic in preparation, style, and flavor... Indian and Pakistani foods have sooo much more depth of flavor which comes from better preparation and use of spices. The kabob was as flavorful as regular 80/20 ground beef wrapped around a spit... I hardly tasted any spice to it. The chickpeas weren't flavorful at all. The rice (even though it looked like it might be good) was the blandest thing I had, so I hardly ate any. Overall, I tried this place a few years apart and nothing has changed... I have no idea how they stay in business, but I do hope they are successful... They just don't serve the flavors I seek.

I'm utterly disappointed to taste lassi and it was sour and foamy means it was old and stale, it went down to drain. I then tasted Nihari Haleem, there wasn't any nihari or haleem flavor in it but a mixture of broken chicken pieces with naked bones and taste more like daal gosht, absolutely no flavor in it. Biryani also was stale and chicken pieces look old and dark on the outside. Side raita (yogurt) was also foamy and stale. I'm very disappointed because I was very excited to learned we have Pakistani restaurant in Stafford but I guess I'll have to travel up north to satisfy my cravings for desi food. I'm sorry but I don't recommend this restaurant because of this experience of my mine.
