VERY reasonably priced compare to the area and large portion too. The food is OK too. Although from where I am from, I've had better. But this is as good as it can get in Herndon-Reston-Sterling area. My only complain would be, they need to cover the buffet trays, I've seen stuff flying in there. Overall the staffs are friendly and helpful. I go there often. read more

Its decent compared to other pakistani restaurants in this area! good place for a casual family dinner!

This was the worse indian food I've had in a while. I ordered the butter chicken which was $10.49 after taxes. The buffet looked decent, but I wasn't in the mood for Tandoori Chicken. I had my mouth set on Butter Chicken. I was in a rush so got it to go. It smelled like feet. As I was driving I broke off some of the naan...it was not naan. The bread was old pita bread at best. It was very hard, dry and chewy and I could barely make it through a few bites. Naan should be soft and practically melt in your mouth if done right. The meal came in a styrofoam container...so I'm thinking "hey, this seems like a decent amount of food". Wrong. It was barely half filled. The 'butter chicken' was basically hard bite sized chunks of white chicken meat in a tomato sauce with a ton of spice dumped on it. I couldn't feel my tongue. If you do butter chicken right it can be spicy with taste. This had no taste. The tomato sauce should also have cream incorporated into it (I've made butter chicken several times). This tasted like canned tomato sauce with spice. The rice was OK, but they only gave me about 1/8 cup. And of course half of it had that nasty tomato sauce spilled into it..so inedible. The chickpeas also were WAY too spicy. I'm a fan of good spicy food....but this was INEDIBLE. I threw away the meal after taking about 5 or 6 bites. I was going to try to muster through it...but couldn't. I would definately go elsewhere...not here. read more

Excellent food and service! Hands down the best chicken tandoori and samosas I have ever had. Let's not forget the insanely good mango lassis. Great restaurant! read more

Order mutton curry and it was not properly cooked. Too oily and had no spices whatsoever. Will never order from this place

They always have consistently great tasting food. I would've given them 5 stars, if it wasn't for the indoor seating, which can make some improvements. Other than that, the food is great and prices very reasonable.! read more

I been going to this place for a while now and I absolutely love their Butter chicken. it's out of this world. But one thing everybody needs to try in my opinion is thier Mango Lassi read more

We ordered the food yesterday and it was stale food. The aloo palak was bad and stale. I had ordered the food for the pick up. The aloo palak smells bad and rotten. I will not recommend this to anybody ! read more

Biriyani is really okay. The overall taste was okay. I am a big fan of spicy food and I should say the food is not spicy.

This place is great, the hours are accommodating, the naan is freshly made, and the food buffet is excellent. Keep in mind that if you're going to come here, you are coming for the buffet. This is definitely my go-to Pakistani restaurant in the area. read more

I wasn't expecting much to begin with - a just ok, low price restaurant of which there are many. The food was ultra amazing. I was really surprised and amazed. Want to come back here with my family. Service is good in an old-fashioned way. This is a well run place by the owner who cares! read more

Wow ...this place has become recently quite awesome .we used to go there few years back but I don't know what has happened , the food quality has gone way up ...good job Mehran . We don't usually get the buffet we order on the menu ,and it just blows my mind each time I take the first bite . My kids love it too , u don't taste the usual shan Masala...it's authentic. Plus the service guys are well mannered and offer great service ...not to mention good cutlery as well , as opposed to the paper plates in other competing restaurants. Highly recommend it. It's fresh & halal . read more

We love love love this place. We stoped by after so long here and this place as changed and changed for good the most yummiest taste and best service from them. Always coming here again whenever we plane to eat out. 5 star for taste and service read more

By accident I found this place, but was very impressed by their fresh selections of buffet foods. The curries and the naan were very fresh everything was fresh. Plenty of extra condiments to add to the food. The waiters were really friendly and took care of us really well. overall I's say it was a great experience. Thank you. read more

A friend introduced me to this place and have been going there for some time. This would probably be my last time. The food tasted decent and the price is reasonable. The reason I'm writing this review is my stomach is pain right now and I can't even remember how many times I been in the bathroom today. My co-worker is in the same situation right now. We both had the lunch buffet and that was the first meal we had for the day. I really hate to put a review like this one bc I know it can hurt their business and I been coming here for some time. I just hope they get a chance to read this and not have this same situation happen again to other people or even worst someone ending up in a hospital. Yes I know for a fact that it's caused by the food from the buffet or the water. read more

Came here while on vacation from New York, food was great. The place was clean which is rare of Desi restaurants and the service was amazing. The guy there named Asad was awesome. He was very kind and offered great service. His excellent service is the reason for the review. He regularly was checking on us and everyone there. The buffet was well worth it. Nihari was great as well as the Haleem. Naan was being served hot and buttered. read more

Ordered a chicken tikka wrap on uber eats. Was excellent. Warm, soft naan bread absolutely stuffed with delicious chicken+sauce and fresh veggies. Very reasonably priced, $8 for a huge wrap. I'm normally more adventurous with my food choices but didn't want to push it when trying somewhere I'm not familiar with. I'm sold now, will definitely have to come in and try the buffet, (and everything else) it all sounds amazing. So glad I took a chance. read more

Very great Pakistani restaurant. Husband and I really enjoyed going there for a quick bite or just in general. Staff was nice too. They have buffet but we never tried that. Overall, love the food and will recommend!! read more

I've come here for several years and every time I come it's just as good as the first time. The staff is wonderful and attend to your every need. I've only gone here for lunch for the buffet. read more

Great food, excellent service, clean, good selection, and affordable. We will be back again, and would recommend to friends.

I am regular customer of mehran but it's been second time the tikka chicken smells really bad and right after eating the chicken my stomach not feeling well. It's mean they using some old stuffs. Which get remain from other days. So be really careful before eating here. read more

Admitedly, I've become slightly jaded when it comes to run-of-the-mill Pakistani or Indian buffets. This place is okay for being in the middle of nowhere Sterling, so by that virtue alone it got bumped up one star. The standard ho-hum items are there with the Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Curry, Daal, and a few other dishes. I was most excited about the Daal Gosht (Daal/lentils with minced goat meat). The Naan was fluffy and nice; the service was rather quick. However, with the other selections in the area, I wouldn't break my neck to come back here. read more

The worst tasting Indian/Pakistani food in the area. The staff doesn't follow instructions and give you an attitude when you complain. Take your business elsewhere. read more

My Gyro wrap was ready pretty fast! But didn't taste like typical greek gyro i always have been eating! Whatever it is taste good and I really liked it! read more

Go to place for chicken karhai, seekh kabobs. Great service and staff. Not many good pakistani spots in herndon or for that matter, in dmv. This one is worth checking out. read more

Amazing food and awesome service ! Always great food and great customer service! Try the mango lasse The service from Asad is always great ! read more

Best Haleem in VA suburbs. I have been here many times and they never disappoint. Their buffet is pretty amazing with a lot of varieties. Try the Potato sabzi, chick peas curry, and lentils. Enough options for vegetarians too! read more

A friend referred us to Mehran restaurant. I was a little skeptical to come in at first,because I can't handle too much of spicy foods.When we came in,the gentleman at the register was kind enough to offer me a sample of the food from the buffet. It was spicy but not to the point where I have to blow my nose every two seconds-spicy.It was perfect.Not only is the food here exceptional but, so is the service! read more

See all

went 9/25 3.5 ample seating, decent price, unlimited non in buffet, chicken was cold. I don't like to waste food but I had to throw away the chicken. read more

No. No thank you. They definitely used horse meat or something because whatever was served to me was not ground beef. Save your money and have mom make you some kabobs. read more

Food is yummy with the right amount of spices. I got the Buffett option and loved everything.

The best halwa puri breakfast I have had in a long time with freshly fried puris and nans. The Haleem and nihari were delicious. So was the lassi (yoghurt drink). Neat and clean utensils and courteous waiters. The weekend buffet was definitely worth every penny. We were six people who had buffet and three lassies. Our bill was $70 with tax read more

I have tried them few times now. service is worst. nobody will come and take your order. you will wait for naan forever. doesn't matter how big your party is salad comes in smallest plates and only two plates for 15 people that i took with me. food is average. if you get lucky may be 1 out of 5 curries will taste fresh. not lot of options in buffet. I will never go back since I've tried many times and its always worst than last time. only good thing that was making me go back is that u can get decent seats to sit your party but if there is nothing good to eat its vein. read more

Great chicken biryani. I am a regular! The buffet is also good (Chicken Tandoori.. yummm!!)

Food is to die for, I usually order to go, If you don't like spice food make sure to let them know that.

Mehran is great Pakistani food with a unique yet authentic taste. As a native Pakistani, I am impressed with the quality of the food that gives you visions of the local food back home. The buttered naan is a nice touch along with all of their phenomenal dishes. Highly recommend if you're looking to get a Pakistani/Indian fix. read more

Buffet is very tasty and the prices quite reasonable.
