Good food, friendly place, and service is excellent. Price is reasonable. Love this restaurant always.

We recently had Eid buffet at Lasani. It was horrible, old, tasteless and expensive food. Service was good but food was not fresh and taste was very poor. Please think 100 times before visiting lasani. read more

Small restaurant located in a Strip Mall, more suitable for Take Out. I picked up the food around evening, and some items were no longer available, but whatever I ordered tasted pretty good. Most of the food seems to get prepared before noon, and that is what you for the rest of day, so be prepared for that if you are planning to go in the evening. read more

This place is heaven for pakistani food. I would recommend everything, but the best ones would be bihari kebab, chicken tikka , biryani, kadhai gosht and rogani naan The prices are very reasonable and good in taste. Not very spicy unlike some other desi stores. Would not recommend ordering deserts here. But appetizers and curries will not disappoint you read more

Hey all I am hardly in this neighbor but once in a while my cravings for desi food ramps up. I never give 5 stars until and unless its exceptionally good. Food to price ratio to flavor and service matters. Hands down the best Goat Pilou/Pilov/Pilao i've had in the united states of America. Meat was Falling off the bone. Service was jackpot ! The dude brought proper side salad like (onions lemon cilantro and Mirchi ) not 3 days old grass (lettuce). Spot was clean. Decor is fine. Desi style chandeliers . Must try Chicken bihari Shami kebabs Pilaoooo goat Daal in ghee Long story short The place is well priced Food was super fresh Hands down best goat piloa Clean Service was top In a heart beat come here and eat. Good atmosphere. Enjoy Ps they also have a grocery store next door which carries organic chicken lamb & goat. Wow spot same owner. read more

Ordered the seekh kabab and chicken biryani. The kabab was quite succulent, well-spiced and had an adequate meat to spice ratio. The chicken biryani, however, was a bit of a disappointment. It totally lacked in flavor - even the salt was lacking. There wasn't much aroma from the chicken or the spices coming through and it kind of felt like eating relatively bland chicken and rice. To their credit, the chicken was cooked well and was falling off the bone. I believe this restaurant has potential to do well, if they can improve on the flavors. read more

What a great food in jersey city. Highly recommended. Unmatching taste. Homely taste in jersey city.

It's not an Afghan restaurant. Please change your name. We drove loner to get some Afghan food but there was no Afghan food. The guys were from Pakistan and didn't say sorry for our convenience. Very rude and impolite staff specially the woman with a bridal mack up. read more

First thing first, This is not an Afghani restaurant. They need to change this title. The Pakistani food they serve is quite good. I often go their to buy pakora and samosa on my way to downtown down jersey city. Never disappointed. read more

Doesn't look like much when you pass by, but there are people inside and seems welcoming, though the lighting is mostly dim with windows covered. It isn't like just another Pakistani Restaurant with same food and no taste. Staff doesn't really wear mask, no social distancing in the restaurant which is why I only order pickups. Though there food tastes good, which is why I come here if read more

Very bad service , the guy in the front is very very rude, treated me very bad, serve the food cold when I ask him to warm it , he used the microwave I told him that is unhealthy it may cause cancer he said I know He touch the food without gloves after touching money which has a lot of germs . The kitchen is very dirty the Pots are very old read more

It wouldn't surprise me if you've never heard of this restaurant. After all, it's barely visible from the street. The signs outside are outdated and advertise Chinese food (what?). There's no menu. Seriously, no menu. Yet... You'll often find it packed. It's being called a gem on Yelp. And there's just this great smell outside that hint at notes of gourmet cooking... This spot is unique. It has GREAT and friendly service. The inside looks like your grandmother's kitchen. It's clean enough. How do you order here? There is a glass counter with tons of items. You can choose any of those items. You purchase dishes based on size in denominations of small, medium, and large. The small is $4, medium is $7 and large is $10. Their naan and butter naan are out of this world. I also had the Butter Chicken, which was good as any butter chicken I've had. Finally, I selected a few random items (samosas and such) from the counter. All of them were good. I'll be back. read more

Ordered takeaway from here once. Was thrilled when lady on the phone spoke in Hindi. Figured it's a hole in the wall, the real deal. Hole in the wall, it definitely was. Every dish was ice cold - not kidding, like so cold that I had to thaw the dishes in microwave at home. Mutton ghost, chicken biryani - cold like it went from freezer to carry out boxes. What restaurant serves freezer cold food?! (1 extra star because thawed and warmed up food tasted pretty good) read more

Chapali kebabs and kheer were amazing. I will be recommending this restaurant to everyone and it has fair prices. Don't let the location or the ambiance deter you. read more

I have been living in this neighborhood for close to 4 years and today is the first time i tried this restaurant. Food is awesome and very reasonable prices. family dine-in restaurant. staff is very nice and friendly. recommended us the dishes specialties and options read more

Ordered spring roll - said vegetable in a wrap but came out chicken! Really disappointed!!!! Don't order if you're vegan or vegetarian!

The best Paki food this side of the Atlantic! Almost all dishes are cooked to perfection. Service is prompt and friendly, and delivered with a smile! My only wish is that update the decor a little. Not really "a hole in the wall" but the decor needs some fine-tuning. Next door- they have their grocery store, where you can buy all kinds of spices and foods- meat, vegetables and fruits- at moderate prices. And, best of all- you can pay with credit cards for the food ordered from the restaurant. read more

The best malai boti kababs that you would get in a Pakistani or Indian restaurant. Also the Chicken Haleem is amazingly good. Hot fresh oven baked Naan cannot go wrong!! read more

This establishment needs to know how to talk with their customers. I'm only writing a review about this place because I've encountered problems with them numerous times. Yesterday was the last and final day i will ever step foot in this establishment. I ordered 3 full cooked chickens 3 days prior and then 30 kebabs and 25 naan about 30 minutes before i got there. They said it would be ready in 30 minutes. I get there and the guy behind the counter said it would take an extra 15 minutes. I said ok no problem. Then I come back 15 minutes later and he said about another 10 minutes. Ok, fine. 15 minutes later i pop back in and this time it was a lady behind the counter. She said another 15 minutes. Fast forward another 20 minutes and the food is ready, except it's not. Only the naan and kebabs were ready and they charged me 110 for just naan kebabs! The naans are listed as 1.25 on their menu and 1.50 for the kebabs. So their ripping off customers without even telling them or updating them!! The lady behind the counter said there was no chicken ordered!! Liars! They confirmed over the phone before i got there! I waited over an hour and didn't even get what i was there for. Then i paid an arm and a leg for the naans and kebabs and left. Then my sister called me telling me the lady behind the counter said i was rude and i need schooling on how to talk to people. I was outraged and i went back! The lady was absolutely nasty and didnt even apologize for running up the prices or messing up my order. And this wasn't the first time they treated me like this. But by god it's their last!!!!! And ps, they MICROWAVE their food! Yes, MICROWAVE. TERRIBLE. read more

There was one guy working the front and back, while the other stood there doing nothing, didn't bother to assist other waiting customers. Couldn't help notice flies landing on food that wasn't covered. The "hot" food is also microwaved!!! Food on display was kept cold. Also, I asked for chicken biryani which shows on menu 6.99 but you charge $8.00?? Was there an increase? If so, show on menu. Highly doubt I'll return read more

Brilliant briyani with perfect portion and price. A nominal $7 for chicken Briyani and $10 for goat. Service was prompt and the cashier was helpful. Wish they had a menu with prices. The price of the goat briyani got me as a surprise. I had to keep asking the cashier for the price of each and every dish. I also didn't know what all they served. Don't expect any ambience because there is none. They have a TV with the cricket match on, so who cares about the ambience. Issues aside this one of the best briyani in jersey. Try it! read more

Have been looking forward to trying this spot since I moved to the area. What an unnecessarily disappointing experience. When I walked in another patron kindly informed me that despite the awning, Lasani does not serve Chinese food. She was reassured that I enjoy South Asian food and made a few suggestions. Let me be clear: this patron was about 100x more helpful than the woman behind the counter. The proprietress ignored me for an easy 3-5 minutes, walking back and forth from what I thought was the hot bar (more on that in a moment) to the kitchen without so much as a glance. I felt really uncomfortable and unwelcome. There's no written menu and no prices posted anywhere so I had to go a bit on faith and instinct. Ended up with a 1/2 portion of chicken korma ( 1/2 pint, does not come with rice) and 1/2 portion of chicken biryani. $4 each, really inexpensive. Headed home, ready to grub and dug into ICE COLD chicken and rice. Is this normal? Does she heat it for other people but not offer to for me? When heated, the flavor was good but chicken was mostly scrap cuts, lots of bones and cartilage. Average food, good price, terrible service. read more

Absolutely delicious. Everything was very fresh, and the spices used in the dishes were very aromatic. The Jasmine rice was cooked nice and fluffy and the Naan bread was chewy on the inside and crisp buttery on the outside. read more

Excellent and healthy, unlike many desi restaurants. Nice maan ki daal, spinach,a nd the nepali chicken was definitely a surprise. Will come back again. Def not Afghan though....they need to re-brand that part on Yelp, probably not even the owner who claims that. He told me Pakistani/Nepalese. read more

We moved yesterday and ate here twice. Great food. Reminds me of Punjabi dhaba style cooking in interior Sindh. Great service and affordable. Also Halal so great tasting meat dished. read more

By far the greatest food, taste, service, portion size and reasonable price love to come every day to enjoy their food.

Delicious Pakistani Food, Enjoyed dinner tonight at Lasani Afghani ( Totally Pakistani / Indian) which has now changed its menu totally to Pakistani/Indian Food, the prices were very nominal , we were two persons they charged us $ 11 for two including Cold Drinks . The quantity & quality both are awesome. A must try place . Parking available easily . read more
