    This is our first time at Karak Cafe. It was clean inside, with a few tables available for dine-in. The owners were very nice and friendly. We ordered samosa chaat, bun with pistachio & nutella, beef kofte roll, mango lassi, bun kabab, and rabdi falooda. I like the samosa chaat. It was tasty when you mixed everything. It was crunchy on the bottom with some tangy and a little kick of spiciness. The dessert was very different. The rabdi falooda had noodles, jelly, basil seeds, ice cream, and rose petals. I would return for sure to try their Karak Chai.

    Yes to more spots like this in the area! Karak is an unassuming cafe in a small suburban plaza with some familiar but different food options. I came for some chai, but was surprised to see some American, Indian, and slightly fusion food menu items. Rolls, sandwiches, and some sweets all keep me coming back. Everything from cheesesteak sandwiches (philly), tandoori chicken sandwich, and roti rolls make this place stand out. The fries are sooooo good. You don't want to skip those! Interior is small, but there are some tables and the staff is very friendly. I've come a number of times, and they're very kind and genuinely seem to care that the food and drink are pleasing.

    First time at the Karak Cafe with my wife! Been driving past this cafe for a few days and today we decided to try it. Upon entry you can see the cafe has been recently renovated - simple tables and very soothing atmosphere along with calming music which makes it easy to speak. The customer service was very lovely the gentleman described all of the top sellers and made it easy for us to order. We ordered a Karak Chai, Maskaa Bun with honey, Samosa Chaat, and Baklava. The overall quality of the food and price is very reasonable - I definitely recommend this spot to all.

    Walking in we were instantly greeted by a beautiful and sweet lady. Who gave us a free sample to try a smoothie, and a detailed menu overview! The place is clean and looks beautifully modern. Our family got a mango smoothie, Monsoon Dragon Rush, and a Thanda Starfruit Burst. Which was delicious and as bold as the color of the drinks!, Also a great price! I will be coming back to try the coffee it smelled soo good!!

    Did a to-go order of their chola chat and samosa chat and both were good. Next time plan to do a dine-in and try more of their dishes.

    Cute little cafe with a relaxed ambiance. Perfect place to try desi snacks with a hot cup of chai. Service is great with friendly staff.

It was a small place with only a few tables that was empty at 2 p on a Saturday. The gentleman working was patient while I read the menu. We chose the original chicken Cesar and the KO Philly. The chicken Cesar was amazing. The cutlet was cooked so well and the dressing had great flavor!! The KO Philly's meat was so tender and we really enjoyed trying something new with all the flavors of the KO Philly. Didn't give 5 stars because it was a bit expensive for 2 subs (that don't come with anything) & the KO Philly needed more jalapeños to offset the sweet BBQ (the jalapeños were a great touch!)

I ordered online for carry out and the platform was easy to navigate. Once my husband and I arrived at the resto we were greeted by a very kind staff member. Our food wasn't ready but within 5 mins of us being there it was good to go. We tried the wonton soup and chicken dumplings app. Both were on the bland side. Normally I'm used to wonton soup also having noodles and theirs does not. Flavors were OK, felt like both dishes were missing spices. Everything was cooked perfectly though. Maybe we ordered the wrong items from here and need to try others instead.

In my experience, this signifies either the place was going to be a shithole to pass up, or it was a serious place to eat, then get out and go somewhere with an atmosphere. Happy to say J's (IMHO) is a serious place to eat. No-nonsense, direct and to the point. When I walked in, all those common chairs I mentioned were stacked upside down on the tables in the way that places do when they are closed. The taciturn fellow who worked there assured me they were indeed open, and explained they had just finish washing the floor. Please dont read any of this as negative-the best Chinese places I've ever been have looked like this-and if you've paid attention to the Travel/Food shows on the TeeVee, the joints in China itself are pretty much the same. On to the food, know this place is a Serious REAL-DEAL Chinese resto. I didn't notice if there were "Occidental" Chinese-type dishes on the carte, (primarily 'cos I wasn't looking for them). What I saw looked yum, and had a hard time making choices, even though I had read the menu multiple times and thought I know what I was going to order in advance. Confessionately, this is a chief feature for my tortured dining self-It's a wonder I even get fed in restaurants (especially the great ethnic ones), due to option anxiety. I zeroed in on "Street Noodles" for starters-wouldn't you? Then went to "Cold Beef Shank" for entreé. The Noodles were fab as was the Shank. The noodles were in a broth. with some hunks of bok choy and ground meat on top. Hearty, still light. The shank had a thin sauce complimenting but not obscuring the beefiness. One bugaboo: the Shank needed a bit of seasoning, and I wasn't going to use soy sauce, as I believed that would have marred the subtle flavors of the Beef. I asked for a salt shaker. It arrived, and I was a little taken back, 'cos it appeared it hadn't been washed in a while, and the salt inside was caked. It occurred to me this condition was present due to the non-use of said shaker. I don't think I've ever asked for a salt shaker in a Chinese resto. I pulled a toothpick out of my "Murse" and broke up the caked NaCl. Applying same to the pieces of Shank, the flavor bloomed and I was a happy boy. Bring some salt packets along when you visit "J's", maybe. The fellow who was waiter and cashier was a "western" fellow, whom I engaged and turned out to be quite an experienced foodie. some pleasant conversation indeed. Throwing 4 for this excellent establishment, with a few grains of salt separating it from 5...

Last time I went to the taqueria I noticed that a new restaurant was in the works, all the way back behind the bakery. I spoke with the lady and confirmed it was going to be pan-Asian food and all halal! She told me the opening date was November 1st. Today I stopped in, and sure enough it was open. The lady (who I believe is Yola) told me they planned to rotate dishes and will include various Asian dishes, like Thai food. Today they had fried rice, crispy noodles, shrimp, fried chicken drumsticks/wings, chicken lollipop, and diced chicken & potatoes. They even had duck! It all looked good, but I decided to try fried rice with the diced chicken & potatoes, along with a few pieces of chicken lollipop (which is like fried chicken on a stick, or bone). I brought the food to my parent's house for a family dinner. I really enjoyed the food. The fried rice wasn't out of this world, but the chicken lollipop was really good and the chicken & potato dish was pretty good. I love Asian food, so I'm stoked about having a halal option. The food was sold by weight, and I feel we got a decent value. This isn't a place you can go to for a nice dinner out, but a good takeout option. Looking forward to trying other dishes here.
