    A Pakistani fast food restaurant, serving mostly snacks. They have a limited offering of curries and biryanis. I liked their crispy wings and the churros. The dahi papdi chat got a bit soft and soggy but still flavorful. We went on the Eid ul Adha day and chai was complementary, not sure if this is everyday. The staffs were friendly and liked the overall vibe. Most remarkably, they had quite a large space for prayers, which always fills up my heart

    Shahi paneer wrap
    Francie M.

    In this unlabeled restaurant on the corner of a residential area you'll find huge portions and flavor town! I ordered: - a sample of the chai at the register: piping hot and the perfect balance of tea tannins, rich milk, and light sugar - mango lassi: I liked this better than zareens with the subtle addition of saffron!! Heads up that some cups may still be icy from storage so it will need to sit - crazy curry fries: delicous sweet and sour and cheesy sauce on top of a HUGE pile of fries - need to share this as it's best eaten piping hot - shahi paneer wrap: flaky paratha surrounds a sauce laden pile of opinions, mixed vegetables, and paneer. The paratha was incredible but the sauce was a little too close to thousand island dressing for me and filling had too high a ratio of onions and veggies for me. Next time I'll get the *platter* of curry so I can also have delicious paratha, chole, and rice Logistics: - indoor and covered by roof outdoor seating - big tables good for groups - small parking lot next door, don't mind the old cars at the end - the restaurant is unmarked so follow your nose!

    Zinger Paratha Wrap

    The definition of a hole in the wall restaurant. Few broken cars in the parking lot but the fried chicken here is amazing!! Make sure to come hungry because one zinger sandwich can feed 2 people or one person until you're absolutely stuffed! The fried chicken here is unique as they have some curry seasoning in the batter and the chicken is always perfectly fried and juicy. - Zinger sandwich - 5/5 - juicy and fried to perfection - Zinger paratha wrap - 5/5 - if you're not feeling to get stuffed and want something lighter this is perfect - Dahi puri - 4/5 - can be jarring if you weren't expecting it to be cold. But it's an absolute delicious flavor bomb. I haven't had this at other restaurants before so not sure how it compares. You order at the counter and the food comes out within 5-10 minutes so it's pretty fast. Best to dine in while the chicken is still hot and crispy. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for some delicious fried chicken sandwiches!

    Came in for a late afternoon snack, we ordered dahi poori to share. It was super flavorful and perfectly spiced. We stopped by around 5:30/6pm on a Saturday, it was pretty quiet with only a couple of customers. The service was quick and I liked their complimentary chai. Would love to try their wraps and other menu items next time.

    Zinger with crazy curry fries

    We have been to this place several times and the food never disappoints. Service is relatively fast, but the food comes out fresh, so no complaints from me. You can tell from the outside of the building this isn't a fine dining establishment, but what they lack in decor and ambience they make up for it with their food. Definitely worth the try!

    Zinger Burger, Masala Fries, Chapli Paratha Wrap
    Amy G.

    Perhaps my expectations were too high prior to coming to this place after reading some of the Yelp reviews on here. We arrived at around 6:30pm on a Friday. The inside of the restaurant was fairly empty -- there were only 2 other parties, one finishing up their meal and another who just arrived. Despite the downtime, the tables were still extremely dirty and uncleaned. Upon entering to use the bathroom, it was also very much unkept. The ordering process is straightforward -- you order at the cashier, get a number, and bring it back to your table. While we only ordered 3 items: the zinger burger, a wrap, and a side of masala fries, the total came out to be $40 before tip. Quite high for the rugged ambiance here but I was fine with it. Here's the hoping the food makes up for it. The food came fairly quickly. The zinger burger is what they're known for. Crispy, well-seasoned (though a bit too salty for me). It came with a side salad which tasted just like the masala sauce on top of the fries lol. Very redundant in flavors but moving on to the wrap now. The minced beef wrap was wrapped in paratha and tasted like an old school style Del Taco deluxe taco or something. Delicious with some lettuce, tomatoes, and the grated cheap yellow cheddar cheese but nothing extraordinary. Lastly, I want to talk about the fries. I'm very curious as to why the fries have been changing again and again throughout the time that Lados has been in business lol. I wasn't so lucky this time and the fries were the soggy, starchy kind, which was made even soggier from the sauces. A while ago, I saw the fries were the crinkle cut ones. Then even before that, they were the skinny, crispy kind. In my opinion, this is a good option for halal food, but as for me, I don't think my experience justifies another visit back.

    Tikka Masala platter
    Kelli S.

    So good we went 2 days in a row while visiting the area. We got the wrap, their most popular item and we did not like it. It was too soggy with all the sauce. No texture to anything, all mush. The fries, however, were unlike anything I have ever had. We also got the Tikka Masala and really enjoyed it. The naan was like toasty, almost croissant flaky like, it was super special. My 9 year old had the chicken tenders and he never eats real chicken. He LOVED it.

    This place is awesome! Pakistani street food? Yes please. It's located in a very unsuspecting residential neighborhood. Smaller place with outdoor and indoor seating. Service was great and very fast for freshly cooked food. Highly recommend! We love the flavors at this place.

    We came here around 2:30pm on a Sunday and there were a couple tables finishing up their meal. We got seated first and went up to the counter to place our order. My partner and I both got the Zinger burger but I swapped out the regular fries for the lados fries. Our friend got the 3pc chicken tenders and he actually enjoyed it so much that he went up and placed another order of the chicken tenders. I first tried the Zinger wrap from this place awhile ago and I really enjoyed it and since my boyfriend raves about the Zinger burger, I decided to try it this time. I think overall, I still prefer the wrap more because the burger is quite big and heavy to eat. I really liked the lados fries and my Canadian boyfriend compared it to poutines. I do want to note that the lados fries got pretty heavy after awhile and I much preferred the regular fries after that. The mango lassi was also really good, and you can really taste the ginger in it. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and my time dining here. Highly recommend people to get the zinger wrap or the zinger burger!

    What a great find. Great food and service. I loved the chat Thalia and my beef burger. The chana and sheermal were amazing too!

    Have been coming here for a while. The food is always very tasty, specially the meat items. I personally like their Zinger burger and Shami kabab. They also have lunch combos which have generous portions. Service is relatively fast and friendly. Be sure to have some chai with your food.

    Very low key, in older days we would refer to them as a dive, it is super causal, friendly, family oriented restaurant. The staff is super friendly and helpful. You order at the counter, get a buzzer and you get notified when your order is ready. We ordered the weekend special chicken biryani, curry fries and chicken tikka masala. The food was ready in about 7-10min max. The restaurant got packed by the time we were leaving. The food was delicious home cooked style meal and we truly enjoyed the experience. The spices came through deliciously and the chicken in the rice and in masala were very soft. Must admit that the fried chicken entrees were a major hit at all other tables and we will definitely order it next as it seems very crunchy. The portions are decent as well. We will definitely be back.

    Samosa chaat

    The first time I went to the place was early January and I was blown away by the flavors. The samosa Chaat is the best I've ever had. The chicken tenders were made so crispy. The paratha chicken tikka masala was made really well as well, but wish it was easier to eat it. My experience then I would have rated a 5/5. Recently I went back and I struggled with the food items like the chicken tikka masala entree. It was overly sweet and the paratha felt like it was a reheated frozen one. I also think they need to work on the cleanliness of the eating area, like dishes were sitting out for a while. However, like last time the samosa chaat was still the best thing ever. I'm definitely going to give it another chance because I do believe they know flavor but perhaps stick to the street food.

Tonight I was craving a home style chicken and rice dish similar to what my mom makes . Now I know it's not possible to get that from a restaurant, but the closest to that is the Donne biryani preparation that a few places offer in the Bay Area. So I looked up Yelp and found this spot. The fact that it already had 4.9 stars was reassuring but I didn't put too many expectations on it. But what I did was call the place and make sure they'd be open by the time I made that 28 mile drive. I spoke to a person named Sagar who took my order and told me to take my time getting there and drive carefully! Husband and I got there around 9:30pm and it's a cloud kitchen setup with kitchens in the back and a point of sale kiosk and counter at the front. As instructed I called Sagar and he came up to the counter with my food, and also let me know he had added a free dessert since I drove all the way from Hayward . Husband and I got home and immediately dug in and what can I say, the flavors totally took me back to my mom's kitchen. The Donne biryani was bursting with taste, and what made it superb was that the flavors were in balance, with neither the spices nor the aromatics being overpowering in any way. The other dish, the pepper chicken was epic by itself, and should have been enjoyed with a bread of some sort, because the biryani didn't need any accompaniment. As if this meal wasn't divine enough the cherry on top was the pineapple kesari dessert that Sagar kindly added to our takeout bag. Thanks Nalapaka, for a taste of home, away from home !

This location was much more peaceful compared to the Palo Alto location. I stopped by on a Saturday evening, and there were only a couple tables that were occupied. I will say I feel like the portion sizes here are noticeably smaller than those at the Palo Alto location. This might be because all of the orders are packed to-go, so maybe there's less space for food? For instance, the thali from the Palo Alto location includes a side salad, which was not included in my order here. The other sides (pickled salad and daal lentil), along with the entree, were also significantly smaller here. The prices are the same, so I do think the Palo Alto dishes are more worth it.

That said, the food itself was absolutely amazing. The buffet had a very large vegetarian selection with plenty of variety, and everything we tried was delicious. The service was a little slow initially when it came to bringing fresh bread (naan, etc.), refilling buffet items, and clearing soiled dishes from the table. However, it improved as the meal went on, and the staff was much better after the initial interaction. One other suggestion is regarding the dining hall temperature. We visited during the summer, and it felt quite warm inside. The door was kept open, but turning on the air conditioning would have made the dining experience much more comfortable. Despite the disappointing start, the excellent food made the visit worthwhile, and I would consider coming back.
