Also, the service was so fast, I truly…read morebelieve the appetizer arrived before I finished taking off my jacket :) Kartik was our main server, and he was a joyful blend of energy, personality, and menu knowledge. I say "main server" because there is a roving band of servers to make sure they don't miss anything! All the dishes were wonderful, however everything had some "spice", so be careful if you "can't take the heat". The menu is huge, so I believe there has to be something for everyone. The ambience is minimalist, clean bright, "food hall", but in a good way. Not a dark cozy date night place, but more bright, family restaurant decor. Because there are so many choices, I will be back, and could probably eat here all week long and not repeat a meal. Full disclosure however, we were there on a Tuesday, so everything was very chill. I hear this place is CRAZY crowded on weekends, so plan accordingly.

We arrived for an early dinner and were lucky enough to beat the wait. It's very spacious and well…read moredecorated. We were seated immediately and were directed to a QR code for the menu. The menu is pretty extensive. While waiting for our food we were given cucumbers and carrots with a dill yogurt type sauce. If I knew how spicy the food was going to be, I wouldn't have enjoyed them before my entree. I specifically asked what the mild dishes were but my food was still inedible. Unfortunately I cannot tolerate anything spicy. And apparently they do not accommodate heat levels so you get what you get. Literally everything we were served except the naan was way too spicy for me. Even my son who enjoys spicy food found the "medium" was very spicy. Food aside, the service was not very hospitable. This place runs like a well oiled machine. The service is fast but don't expect any niceties. When we were asked how we liked the food, my son mentioned the heat level and was basically reprimanded on how "next time he should listen to the server". With it being one of the top restaurants, this experience has left me scratching my head. Overall, I'm glad I was able to finally give this place a shot but for me, it doesn't live up to the hype.

Next time I'm definitely going to try the mango habanero. I gave them 9 out 10. Then I ordered the s h i k a n j a b e e n. It's a classic lime mint leaf crushed eyes and soda drink that is absolutely delicious. It's actually one of my favorite drinks at Pakistani restaurants. So... An obvious 10 out of 10. I ordered TWO. Now, I initially ordered the ribeye which is a 12 oz but they said that they ran out. Or they don't have it, rather. I came at 1:00 p.m. so I'm not quite sure why they were out but regardless, my next order was the beef short ribs. They were bigger than I thought and so completely marinated and Rich herbs and spices I was floored. A very easy 10 out of 10. The steamed veggies that came with it which were steamed carrots and cauliflower were so incredibly delicious. 10 out of 10. The mashed potatoes it came with were decent. Not bad, not great. I would say 7 out of 10. I also ordered the garlic naan. Absolutely delicious. They give you huge pieces and I was so thankful. Parts were crispy and parts were soft so it was like perfection. The garlic naan was a nine out of 10 for later. I wish there was a little bit more salt but it was perfect for dipping into my my wings and the sauce it came with. Overall. I am absolutely coming back again. I've actually been trying to go for a long time. The inside is really beautiful and stunningly clean. The wait staff is super hospitable and kind. Grateful that I did and I will certainly be coming back again.

The space has touch of modern vibes in a warm group friendly / community setting. The layout can be customized for large groups, but yours truly prefers the booths with a window to the outside world. (#1) The bathrooms are clean and the very enthusiastic Afghani (?) staff are a bubbly and fun bunch. One of their standout offerings is their weekly buffet nights and weekend brunch buffets, which regularly draws locals looking for variety and value. The Thursday evening service is street food inspired with chaats, nihari "tacos" and a mix of Indo-Chinese foods such as fried rice (#2) and spring rolls. The Sunday all day buffet is a bit more of my speed, which a number of curries, naans, and desserts. The spread varies from week to week, but it is generally quite good.

We ordered the goat, spinach, some chicken and some goat rice as seen in the photos.

I love the classic chai because it's not sweet and great ratio of milk to tea. You can choose your spice level on dishes and also note that all goat items have bones. The ambience is very cultural, colorful and peaceful. Quick service and comfortable seating. Our waitress was also kind enough to explain the different dishes and sauce bases. So don't feel intimidated and definitely come hungry! yummy!

I called my order in, but they did not have goat biryani but they had lamb biryani and chicken biryani so I opted for the chicken biryani. I also got some garlic, naan and chicken karahi! The food was really good and I would definitely be back. Only thing is for some weird reason they do not have dine in, not sure what that is about because they do have seating inside. The gentleman who served me was very nice and soft spoken. I should have probably led with this but them prices cannot be beat Place is quaint and unassuming. Easy to miss. I went a second time and ordered the chicken biryani again and chicken tikka leg. Biryani wasn't as good as the first time kinda mushy but still great flavor. The chicken tikka was excellent
