What can I say about this little hidden gem. We visited this place during eid, it was closed for some family event. So we thought of trying it again during a weekday for dinner. I am so glad I did. It's one of the best restaurants I tried especially for the lamb. I am usually not a big fan of eating lamb outside as its not cooked well. We were served some chips n sauce for free as soon we were seated. Later we ordered Lamb Peshwari, Chicken Cashew curry, Garlic Naan, Tea, Mango Lassi and Cheesecake. Lamb came with Saffron rice which was amazing. Meat was cooked to perfection its the best meat i tried in my life so far; Hands down to the best lamb. Chicken curry was great and very rich in taste. Naan was great in taste but personally felt it a bit thick. Tea was amazing. Mango lassi was not great though a bit water down. When we were asked how food was and during conversation I mentioned today is my birthday. She got us Cheesecake for Free. It was very sweet of her. I would go again and definitely recommend this place. Ambience is great, service is exceptional and Food is awesome. What else you need :) read more

We had a great time at Maza Grill ! Located in a strip mall , one may get the idea that food is probably average, but I can surely say that this place serves best grilled kebabs , meat dishes made with love and patience . We ordered their special of the day blackened chicken steak , tandoori chicken and Punjabi kebab and every dish was absolutely delicious . Generous amount of meat and rice and cooked slowly so meat remains moist and not dry like a lot of other places I've dined at . The owners are veryyyyy sweet folks and make sure their customers are well taken care of . I totally recommend this spot for some amazing grilled kebabs and burgers and good service . Family place being run by a sweet family . read more

Tried this place on a whim... I was so glad I did. The dining room is sparse however it is very elegant for a strip mall restaurant. The seating is comfortable and could easily pass for a casual date night excursion. I know this is my first experience at this restaurant but I experienced such amazing hospitality. The server was informative and her suggestions were spot on. She was also very patient with our sizable group with limited middle eastern dining knowledge. She is obviously an asset to this establishment. Now to the food... Not only did every meal have its strong points, the presentation was pretty special as well. I must admit I have never had fresh naan until today. That experience alone was worth the price of admission. Not to mention all the meat is halal and you can definitely taste the difference. To top it off, they have delicious gulag jamun, and an ice cream tray that is beautifully presented. My compliments to the chef. I hope to be back here soon. Great experience! read more

Awesome steak! I loved the ribeye. Cooked to perfection and tastes so good. The wings were good also. read more

Maza Grill - Halal Near Me - Kent, Washington

Hands down the most authentic and tasty Desi food in greater Seattle area. Period... If you don't want to take chances with the quality of your food, this is the place to go. We ordered Peshawari lamb and Punjabi chicken.. Both superbly done.. The serving is quite large, if you're not really hungry, one serving can do for two people. The price is between 14-29$ , which seems a little higher, but the items are definitely not over priced, Keeping in view the serving size and quality. The only thing is the wait time, which can be around 30-40 minutes. Your best bet is to order over phone and then come here. If they can reduce wait time, it will be my go-to place for Indian, Pakistani food. read more

Maza Grill - Punjabi Boti Chicken and moms has Chapli Kebab - Halal Near Me - Kent, Washington

So we tried this place for the first time tonight. We tried their house rib-eye, and the Italian chicken steak, both dishes came with a small vegetable salad and baked potatoes with feta cheese. I have to say, the rib-eye was absolutely fantastic! It was nearly fork tender and came with a puréed sweet onion sauce that paired great with the entire dish. The Italian chicken was also incredible and was bursting with tons a flavor! The Maza Grill is definitely a hidden gem in the East Hill of Kent! We will definitely be coming back for sure! read more

So this review was going to be almost 4 stars, I had placed my order about 35 minutes before me arriving there as I have heard, they take a while to make the food. I arrived around 37 minutes later, and when I inquired about the food a minute before I arrived, they had given my food to someone else... I was shook Then they had to rush my food out, but still, the steak was pretty good My only other complaint was Id asked for a fork and the waiter when to get it but a after a few min of waiting I went back to inquire and saw him sitting and using his phone ... Pros Food is good Prices are decent Place is nice and clean Cons Don't give my food away lol read more

Maza Grill - Steak with potatoes and salad - Halal Near Me - Kent, Washington

Ordered a New York Steak here and it was to die for. So tender, juicy and the spices that were used were awesome. The owner also came out and was super friendly and said with a smile "I gave you a big steak!" and in response I said "Thank you, because I need to stress eat " Also the staff there were super friendly and I am truly happy that this place exists. Great steak and I can't wait to try other items on their menu. read more

Excellent food. Cordial service, checked on us several times during our meal. The owner himself personally walked around and thanked every patron. Payment is at the counter and seemed like tips was not included in the check (although we left some in the tip jar). Food was top notch in flavor and freshness. Don't forget to order the tea at the end of the meal read more

First off, the service here is absolutely terrible. Even though the waitress was super kind and nice, the fact that they pick and choose who they want to serve food first to, regardless of who came first, is insane. There was people who came in 20-30 mins behind us and got their food beforehand, and it wasn't just phone in orders. It was people that we physically saw order in front of us. Our food took about an hour and 10 mins to arrive. Secondly, they barely have anything on the menu that they offer in the restaurant. Multiple items were "sold out" and we came in before a dinner rush, and this has happened to us before here. When the food came, it was cold and some items were not fresh. I asked for a medium well steak, and got medium to medium rare, which was a huge disappointment. The Moroccan chicken steak was just doused in salt and oregano, and was disgusting. We ordered like 4 items and 3 naan. And the bill was over $140+. This place is insanely overpriced for mediocre food. Will NOT be coming back, and if you plan on coming here be prepared to pay insane prices for terribly cold food. read more

I have only eaten twice from here to go. I ordered the beef burger both times and maaaaaaaaan, this burger takes the place for the best burger I have ever eaten. The meat is so juicy and cooked perfectly. You can really tell the great quality of their meat & I am so happy to have a halal restaurant nearby. The two women I interacted with inside the restaurant were very friendly & helpful. I heard that they actually renovated the inside of the restaurant and it literally has such a calming and peaceful aura. I can't wait to come back and order the burger again + sit down and try other options on their menu. read more

Let me tell you. When you walk in you can smell the goodness coming from within. The service was great and staff was very friendly, but child let me tell you when i received my food and took a bite i was soooo happy. It has so much flavor and cooked to perfection. read more

We ordered the chicken tikka and a fish and fries, The food took almost 40 minutes to come ! Other people came in after us and their food came on the table before us. I don't appreciate the water they got from costco, we needed ice because of all the spices they put on the food. The waiter don't know how to understand our order we had to repeat everything again. Will definitely not coming back read more

The best Pakistani food I've ever had. Not only do they offer top tier quality they're also very consistent! I've never had a bad meal. I highly recommend everyone trying! read more

Every dish I have ordered has never disappointed me. I always order the beef burger to go bc it is one of the best burgers in my opinion. And the food is halal? Doesn't get better than that! read more

My family and I ordered the beef steak burgers for takeout from here and it was SOOO GOOD mashaAllah. I honestly can't think of any other place I've had a burger at that can do better. And I've been to many burger joints both lowkey and popular as well as halaal & non- halaal. This restaurant has them all beat with high quality and juicy beef, perfect patty thickness, and price. Definitely a go-to place. read more

Went to Maza Grill yesterday to get the steak beef burger. It was juicy and delicious. I grabbed it to go, however the place was super clean. I also really enjoy eating at places where the food safety rating is EXCELLENT! Bravo! read more

Best steak burger I've ever had. Large portion size with fries on the side. Perfectly tender meat. You won't be disappointed. Place is clean, much better than it used to be. They cleaned up the seating area and expanded it. There's no set menu BTW. They post their menu on a board everyday so you gotta pick from that and sometimes even those items are out of stock. Besides that, food quality is good and portions decent. The waitress and the owner lady are very nice. I'd give this place a strong 8/10. Only disappointing thing was the quality of the Punjabi tea. It was too milky and not strong enough to satisfy any chai loving person's chai cravings. read more

Amazing food, good customer service, clean place. Their kababs and nihari are out of this world.

Their food is wow. Worth the wait. Got lamb shank and chicken kebab. Both came with rice. Sooo good. Can't wait to try other dishes.

The food is really, really bland and doesn't taste fresh. I like spicy food but that's the only flavor any of the food had, nothing else. Heat doesn't mask blandness. Prices are a bit high considering the so-so quality of the food. I had seen good reviews for this place on Instagram so was looking forward to trying it, sorry to say I'm disappointed. Hopefully it's an off day for the cooks or something. The environment inside the restaurant isn't very comfortable or welcoming. It's clean but it feels really sterile and empty. read more

Unexpected surprise in unassuming strip mall. Food is FANTASTIC! Everything is so fresh and good. The owners are the sweetest and always make you feel super welcome. My favorite is the Lebanese kabobs but everything is yummy. read more

Great, Awesome food! First restaurant that has variety, ambience....staff very friendly! Excellent customer service! Will come back & highly recommend! read more

Amazing flavor...authentic Pakistani style cuisine with only love put into this food. We've been here a few years back and we're able to stop in again and boy why we haven't been back sooner I'm not sure but it was worth the wait! We ordered the Lamb sheik kebab platter and Lamb Nihari with their tandoor baked Naan....O-M-Geeee is all my husband could hear while I kept taking piece by piece of his Naan lol there was more than enough for both of us but honestly if you just had that you'd be satisfied! It was true authenticity with each bite soft but light and the perfect crisp with the sesame seeds just made it the perfect side to the Nihari! And yes the Nihari basically a slow cooked stew that normally is eaten as a breakfast but really anytime is just fine with me! The lamb shank was literally falling off the bone on its own and just the little dip into it with your naan and a scoop of the tender lamb in the well cooked juice was so comforting and brought it home for us! Ok that was just hubby's dish now for the platter well of course amazing...I mean I could eat kebabs all day and these ones were perfectly spiced with great meaty flavor yet so satisfying. The rice was so tasty and yes I stole some more naan to eat my dish with. Honestly I had to guard my leftovers the next day because my kid who also loves kebabs kept asking if I was going to eat that??? I mean of course but I had enough to share with him and he enjoyed every last bit. Amazing service, very humble and the best part is they don't close early which helps when you have a busy hectic schedule! Definitely going back soon to try everything else! read more

BANG on target....another masterpiece by Pir Saheb. Was in a rush today for lunch and called for what is quick, was told Lamb Nehari will be coming out in few minutes. Well I am a hard guy to please and don't change my choices at a restaurant ever, but then thought of giving this a try, after all their reputation is magical. So came out from the kitchen, the piping hot, fresh and aromatic LAMB Nehari. 1st Reaction: Mild yet flavorful, succulent meat....exactly how Nehari should be. decoding the recipe: (high level only, not spilling your secrets ;-) =================================================== Tastes like the original Nehari from the Mughal cuisine records in AMU Library. pure home spices of perfect mild + Tender lamb+ Onions, fried and slow cooked added to thicken the stew, then tempered with light masala and onions and again slow cooked. Lamb Meat was moist and falling off the bone, still fresh fibers so slow cooked on low flame. The gravy was pure, clean, no residue, light spices and best part is you don't feel sleepy even after having their huge portions. That itself speaks on the quality of ingredients being top-notch. Garnished with Lemon wedges, chopped coriander, and ginger Juliennes and fried brown onions. No over flow of oil, ghee or fat. Simple, pure and clean execution. Lastly, the endless love with which they serve is like no other....PRICELESS!! @Pir Saheb: Your class is beyond Michelin Stars. Keep it up!!

How can I not have reviewed Maza Grill yet? This place is amazing. Yesterday we decided to have a late Valentine's lunch here, but they weren't open quite yet. We ended up at Los Bigotes in Tukwila (I did review that) but we promised the owner we'd come back. We actually ordered delivery that evening. We didn't even hesitate to order for our guest without talking over the menu choices...everything there is made that delicious and amazing. We got four lovely lamb dishes with rice. Full of flavor, succulent, and just perfect...as usual! The portions can feed two of me. The lamb was butterknife tender, and the kick of heat at the end of a bite was just right. If you told me I had to eat this lamb for the rest of my life I'd happily accept my fate. Nothing was too spicy and nothing was too bland. The rice was as usual a study in perfection, with the natural basmati aromatic notes complimented by an expert hand with the spices (which were never overpowering). Last time we went I tried the tea at the end of the meal. It wasn't too hot, or too sweet. The tea was made with a rich creamy base and was the great finish to a grand meal as the owner promised. Unfortunately I believe it's made with dairy and recently I found I can't do dairy anymore, but I still recommended it if you drop into the restaurant. Yes, it's really that good! While I like delivery because of my busy lifestyle, if I had a good two hours for a meal I'd choose Maza Grill without hesitation. It's time well spent with amazing people and fantastic food. read more

The best steak I've had. Massive and made well. Comes with a side of Afghan rice. Not too pricey either. read more

Maza Grill - Steak - Halal Near Me - Kent, Washington

I've been to this restaurant quite a few times since it opened. The owner is extremely nice and just so happens to know my dad which has its perk when it comes to paying! Not a fan of the interior since almost all south Asian restaurants have that semi-struggling theme going on with the worn out chairs/booths and tables and dim lighting. The food however is great! First of all it's HALAL!!! My fav is the piri piri chicken has that kick of spice to it which I love! Wouldn't say the steak is the best as claimed like y'all know you've had better around the nation don't play okay. The service has been great every time I've gone not to mention during Ramadan they do offer an iftari which eh it's aight, something they can work on. It consist of pakoras, dates, and few pieces of watermelon/fruit. It's kinda strange how there's a grocery literally next to it which is also ran by the owner. Anyways try this place out! It's the first actually PAKISTANI restaurant I've heard or been to in the area! read more

I LOVE this place. When my boyfriend and I first moved to the neighborhood this was the first place we found. The owner is amazing, she introduced us to some wonderful foods and her hospitality is so on point I felt like a guest in her home. Her husband is also wonderful, so friendly and with a ready smile. I seriously can not recommend them enough. The only warning I have for you is that this is not fast food, they make everything to order so you will wait, but trust me, it is so worth it. I am actually here right now enjoying a wonderful cup of DuuPati tea after finishing a delicious meal. Oh and the portions are huge so get ready to have enough for the next day. read more

Extremely disappointed and frustrated with the wait time. This will be my 1st and last visit. It has been over an hour and a half and still no sign of the food. I caution everyone to consider this before going there. I guess my kids will be eating subway I am out of here. Update: Went again today drove over 30 miles just to find out that they were out of Lamb Nihari. I don't understand how you can run a business like this. There are not many halal restaurants in Seattle I guess I will be crossing off Maza Grill for good. read more

Authentic cuisine, always consistent in quality. Our faves are the peri peri and Moroccan chicken steaks. Very generous portions. Owner is wonderful read more

Place is run by a husband and wife-lovely couple. They are friendly and come by your table to ask how the food was. I like that. The prices are fair for the portion you're getting and the food is good. Hard to find Halal food in greater Seattle area and even harder to find good halal spots. This place is both. I've had the Steak which is good and the burger which is good too, but the real gem are the chicken and rice. Also, there's a prayer room in the back which is nice. First the chicken, it's so juicy and flavorful. Plus it comes in a sword! Second the rice, so fragrant and tasty. It's a big portion so bring your appetite. In terms of ambiance, it's a whole in the wall so don't expect a 4 star dining experience. Just expect good food. The menu is on the wall and small which I like. Plenty of parking out front. read more

The Samosas (vegetarian) were amazing. Perfectly delicate dough and perfectly spiced filling. Next time we will try the chicken samosas. The food was very high quality, don't let the austere decor scare you off, the owners take pride in the food they serve and spend money to make the best food possible. This place is a rare gem. Will definitely make the effort to come back and try more of their menu. read more

Waited over half an hour for food just for it to be not fresh at all...paid so much money for McDonald's quality meat. The chicken tikka masala was good as was the rice, everything else was just ok. I would give 2.5 stars if I could read more

A great experience, before I forget you have to try their homemade hot sauce! It's hot and garlicky, but when you top the rice or the meats with this hot sauce, yummy! So we were invited to this restaurant by a friend who's been a customer here for a while, the hummus is truly one of the best recipes I've ever tasted with their fresh baked nan bread, it's a must have here. We got the chicken kabab plate, the ground lamb kabab and the beef kabab plates and they were all so good. I highly recommend the chicken if it's your first time here. Their Steaks looked so yummy so this will be for the next time if we ever visit Kent again. The owner and his wife were kind and friendly, kept checking on us to see how is everything. Make sure to try their Tea! read more

I went to this place on a recommendation. The wait was crazy to get the food even though the place did not look that busy..The food arrived after an hour of wait and it was cold by the time it reached our table. Did not even taste good. Chicken was undercooked. The lamb was okay. The owner came out at the end to ask how was everything to which we told himthat the food was cold by the time it arrived. Instead of being apoligetic he argued that it takes time to bring the food (from the kitchen???) I have had better Indian Pakistani food elsewhere. Save your $$ and time. Go someplace else.. read more
