Finally a Pakistani restaurant with seriously authentic dishes. The Karahi Chicken, Beef Seekh Kabobs, garlic naan and mango lassi are very close to what I grew up eating in Lahore. Met Chef Medassir and he graciously came out and asked how the food tasted. Kamal Khan and daughter Fatima are the owners and very gracious, the ambiance is very clean and comfortable. If you are looking for the real deal, this is it. I have attached photos of the buffet which represents the best of Pakistani cooking. We were on a medical conference and found this very authentic Pakistani restaurant. Will be going there quite often. Enjoy. read more

Good food! Great host. Definitely recommend. Went for buffet style lunch. Did not disappoint.

Very friendly workers. Excellent buffet. Food was amazing. They were welcoming to our book club

I don't know how can saying that the food was totally disgusting. He gave it to me dry mutton Biriyani which was before night or day cooked. I couldn't chewing mutton at all. It was rubbery test. I don't recommend this restaurant. No star read more

We saw this place about a month ago when we were in the strip mall at another eatery. Today, hubby suggested we try it for lunch on the way home from a morning meeting in the area. On entering at about 12:20 p.m. the buffet that's supposed to begin at noon was just being set up. So we decided to wait and try it. At about 12: 40 p.m. it was ready. I would try to use the proper names of the dishes in the buffet but I am afraid I am going to get them wrong. So it's easier to name the main ingredients. The beef stew (nihari) was very pleasing to the eye but not the palate. It was very dry. The cowfoot stew is probably an acquired taste. But the bits of tendons fell easily off the bone and were tasty. The vegetarian options were the best with a potato dish made of squares of potato in a curry gravy, a chic peas stew, a scrambled egg and vegetable mixture (anda bhaji--that was my favorite), and a (sweet) potato casserole that served nicely as a dessert for the meal. You can get rice, naan, paratha, and pouri to accompany your meal. We got one of each and shared them. The restaurant seats about 25 or more. We were the first ones there but the place soon filled. At one point, of the 16 patrons having lunch, we were the only ones that didn't seem to be of Pakistani descent. A table of men all had burgers, but I am not sure what kind. The restaurant sells a few kinds and special ones. I only saw three people working at Khan Baba. Two who came out from the back once or twice (cooks?) and young man who did all the work up front (take orders, serve, etc.). I guess because he was alone, tables were not being cleared as he concentrated on fetching meals, breads, drinks, and ringing up those who wanted to leave. The lunch buffet was $16.95 each and worth it. read more

Love their Faluda. Really tasty and well made. The gentleman with the beard is really nice and helpful. I'm not sure if he is the owner or not but a very nice guy. We tried their food too during sehri and it was definitely good so highly recommend it. read more

I am so upset that it took me so long to finally try this gem!!!! the owner is so nice and funny! He has a great personality! He recommended to start off with the chicken zinger burger or the spicy chicken sub. I got the sub with fries and a mango lassi! 10/10. The mango lassi cooled down the spice, the fries were seasoned and crispy- cooked to perfection. The sandwich was hot, crispy, seasoned, some spice, and balanced by the fresh veggies. Will definitely be back and i MUST try the falooda read more

This is a little Pakistani/Bangladeshi restaurant in the Plantation Park Plaza. I popped in one day just to see what they had and I keep going back for the biryani. it's so spicy but so good!! I just get takeout really and haven't fully explored the menu .... Chai, mango lassi, and naan were all good. Staff is always warm and fun to chat with. They have a $16.99 brunch on the weekends too. read more

The food here is amazing, very authentic. The staff here are friendly and attentive. I wish I would've tried this restaurant sooner.

I've driven past here probably 5-6 times, I live in the building next door. Everyone in here is so damn friendly, the food tastes amazing, and they helped me walk through the menu since I'm unfamiliar with the cuisine. Recommendations were amazing and I will most definitely be back. I didn't grab the names of the gentleman that took care of me, but I wish I did.

I came here earlier tonight, and ordered a drink with some garlic naan. (And a chicken biryani to go) I was amazed and delighted to find out that the $3 garlic naan is a perfect, warm, pizza sized naan covered in fresh butter, garlic, and spices. It's crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The chicken biryani had the same wow factor in terms of quality and portion. The rice is basmati, and it's fluffy and moist. They do not skimp out on the garam masala. It's packed with potatoes, onions, and it has full chicken drums in it. It's a $16 meal that I would consider to be bordering on catering size. I'm not even halfway through it, and I'm full. It's amazing. If you love great food at a low price, you have to try this out. This is fine dining quality food at fast food pricing. I'm not kidding. The icing on the cake is that this restaurant has a comfortably quiet vibe, and the staff is very friendly. It's not packed. It's perfect for when you have a group and want to be able to hear yourselves. I can see why most new customers become regulars. It's a shame I don't live near here. (Khan Baba is as generous with the spices as they are with the portions. If that isn't your thing, you may want to ask for no added spice with your main meal.) read more

the food is absolutely packed with flavor! I ordered the Chicken Biryani and Pani Puri, and both were amazing. The biryani had the perfect balance of spices, tender chicken, and fragrant rice, while the pani puri was fresh, crispy, and bursting with taste. If you're craving authentic Bangladeshi/Pakistani food, this is definitely the spot to check out! They the drink too ! read more

Great food. Clean environment and friendly service. Their paratha and chai was excellent. Chicken tikka was good.

Amazing food and outstanding service. The flavors truly bring you back home to Pakistan, and the hospitality is incredibly warm and welcoming. You can tell everything is made with care and authenticity. The prices are very fair for the quality and portions. Highly recommended I'll definitely be coming back! read more

What a lovely place with great food and great customer service. We just tried it recently. So far tried zinger burger and bun burger with fries. Also the samosa was further. What was impressive was that it wasn't super oily. Trying to go for the healthier route for and this place even though had burgers that were so good. Everything is custom made to order. Lovely place with a good seating area and clean atmosphere read more

The service sucked! We were there over an hour and practically the only ones dining in, and it still took that long. The food was way too spicy for me! I had heartburn after eating the bunn kabob. I'm definitely willing to give them another try later on. read more

My biggest pet peeve is not being greeted at a business. When I came in (I want to say the owner) was sitting down at a table on their phone doing something. A couple minutes went by and then he just stood at the counter. Not a greeting then. Okay.. whatever I'm starving. I asked a question about an item and he answered it but when your menu doesn't give details about exact ingredients, I'm going to ask questions. Well I ended up getting the veggie paratha roll. I didn't know it had a ton of raw onions on it. It came with fries and I order a sada chai. The fries.. were meh. I'm just not a fan of battered or seemingly battered fries. The amount wasn't that much as well. The food had a bit of spice to it. Which I wasn't warned of but I was good with it. The food was decent. The chai wasn't sweetened which I was okay with and the man at the counter said it wasn't. Overall, just a small bit of customer service goes a long way. Also, explaining what the dish is to people who may not know the cuisine would be helpful. Or at least don't seem uninterested when someone asks you a question. The food was okay and I might give it another try. read more

Excellent. I visited on Sunday when they have the buffet. The food was very testy, service very friendly. I highly recommend a visit to try something different in a friendly, family atmosphere. read more

Located in the Plantation/Sunrise area in a strip mall, this restaurant specializes in Pakistani food. The restaurant was small but spacious and clean. There was only the gentleman at the ordering counter that we saw. He was kinda helpful but maybe not the most engaging. The food was ok and a bit reminiscent of other Indian or Caribbean flavors. Pricing was a little high for what size and quality. Also be careful as tip was automatically put on my check for my whopping 2 people. read more

Amazing halal food! Best desi cuisine in town! And the service is very friendly and amazing as well

Great authentic pakistani restaurant. Delicious foods including Nihari. Great falooda. Served by the owner who was very customer oriented. I hope this restaurant survives as it's my go to restaurant when I visit Fort Lauderdale. Nice Ambience too. read more

Recommended by a Pakistani gentleman, this is the real deal. Ordered Naan, Chicken Tikka and Chana Masala, all being delicious and more importantly , authentic. We went there on a federal holiday, so was fairly uncrowded, and were greeted and taken care of graciously by the owner, Mr. Khan. Definitely planning to go back to try some other dishes, or perhaps just go for their weekend buffet to sample their specialties. The place is clean, spacious and functional, perhaps like an upscale neighborhood diner. read more

The people at the counter were nice, especially the uncle however once we drove back home to miami, our order was missing a paratha roll, and 3/5 zingers were not cooked properly and we had to throw it away. The falooda though was a hit. read more

Don't go here, you only gonna waste your money Im surprised how some people are leaving this place good reviews Food is bad and portions are so small, no meat and it will take them forever to bring your food Also they will bring your food separately and waiting 30 min to bring the rest of your food read more

STAY AWAY, YOU WILL REGRET IT I ordered chicken and goat biryani, the plate looks big, however when i start eating there is almost no meat just the rice, the chicken biryani has just chicken bones. The goat biryani has 2 pieces not of goat but goat bone LOL I was so disappointed and I feel like it's overpriced considering the meat portion read more

Service could be improved. We brought a Caribbean friend on a Sunday evening. We were given menus but were not given water or service. There were 4 customers/families including us. We left after a 40 minute wait with a fewling that we were not welcome there. read more

I'm really disappointed to have to write this review but folks should know, especially if time and value and service is important to you. Avoid this restaurant fully, without question. It is not worth it at all. We showed up, ordering at 7:45pm. Our food arrived to us at 8:30pm. That's 45 minutes of waiting for a mutton biriyani with one chapli kaba and zarda sweet for $19.99. We also ordered a falooda for $12 and a doodh pathi chai for $3 which never came, so I promptly requested a refund (after waiting at the counter for 5 minutes for someone). The phone rang off the hook but the staff took forever to answer it. There were multiple angry customers mad at the staff for late food, cold food, and no food. Water wasn't available for free, only bottled, which is a bit silly for a $40 meal. The worst part is, the biriyani plate was small. Think half the size of a Chipotle rice bowl. And the biriyani came with two, cold chunks of goat. That's right, only two pieces (see the photographs for proof). Again, $20 worth of food should not be so stingy. Plus the zarda rice was not cooked fully, resulting in hard, tough to chew rice. The establishment is clearly understaffed. They were patient. They kept saying "just one more minute." But the atmosphere was unhappy customers everywhere. You try eating your meal with one person after another getting mad at the owner for food they ordered 45 minutes to an hour ago. Please, support other local businesses. This one needs more refinement. May God make it easy for the owners. read more

Relatively new Pakistani (Karachi) based fast food joint with great selection of Pakistani snacks, appetizers, and food. We really liked their Zinger burger. The wrap was good (nothing special). The aaloo paratha (potato stuffed tortilla) was a little too salty. Rabri Falooda was really good and is definitely their staple. Also really enjoyed the Anarkali (pomegranate) chaat. The service is wonderful. The owner definitely feels like a community uncle who makes sure you get good food and service. The prices are definitely on the expensive end for the quality of food, but we'll be back for the burgers and Falooda for sure. read more

This is my third time having lunch with my family. The first time was to go order while I was shopping next door. I met the owner and had a good conversation. The food was wonderful, especially the goat curry and chicken Biryani, which are not like Indian cooking. The second time was the weekend lunch specials, so I could taste a variety of dishes for $16.99. We ordered Falooda and Chai. I love the Falooda. The taste is exactly what I remember back home!! Today, at lunch, there were more customers than there used to be, and restaurants shot two employees. We ordered a lot of food!!!The food is still delicious. The owner apologizes for the slow service. If I were a first-time customer, I would not return, and my review would be one star. But I will definitely be back and enjoy the home cooking at a small-town-style family-owned restaurant. Enough said, laid-back customers will enjoy the Mom cooking meals from the village of Pakistan !! read more

Came here late at night for dinner. Some items were amazing, and the the service was pretty good. It had a mom/pop feel. Paratha - Delicious, large, worth the price Doodh Pathi - Very good! Small cup for $3 but we got a refill so totally worth the price. Rabri Falooda - really good! $14 with tax is a high price tag to pay for the drink though. Zinger Burger - the star dish here. Plentiful meat, great amounts of sauce. $12.99 Haleem - This one was so spicy that I wish I was forewarned. It was hard to swallow and I think there was fire in my ears. $14 read more

KHAN BABA (CHAI KHANA), 1755 N. University Drive, Plantation Khan Baba, a new fast-casual/takeout Pakistani in Sunrise, in the same shopping plaza as Jerusalem Market (a great middle eastern store with groceries, meats, pre-prepared foods, and food to order) and Al Natour Restaurant (excellent middle east). For those not familiar with Pakistani cuisine, being part of south Asia, it shares dishes with and other aspects of Indian (notably Punjabi) cooking, but they do eat meat (and notably, beef), and as it is a predominantly Muslim country; the food is halal and has Islamic influences. It's also typically spicier than the North Indian food that is common in the US and is NOT dumbed down for American or British audiences. As it was just myself, I only ordered a few appetizer-like things -- a papri chaat (cold spicy street snack of chickpeas, onions, cilantro, crunchy fried samosa pastry, tamarind chutney, chaat masala spices), aloo samosa (spicy potato stuffed fried pastry), aloo paratha (potato stuffed tandoor cooked wheat bread/pancake), shami kebab (spicy ground minced beef patty). All delicious. Mango lassi (yogurt shake) was delicious. The fried "zinger" chicken sandwiches, which this place is known for, looked fabulous (I'm not a huge chicken fan, but I'm kicking myself for not ordering one), and I snapped a photo of them and the biryani (spicy rice dish with meat -- tonight was goat) Go--it's a clean place with nice owners. Went next door to Jerusalem to pick up some fresh fried felafels and some halvah. read more
