Everything was delicious. The chicken in both dishes were tender and well seasoned. The biryani had fried shallots, which added an extra layer of crunch and a hint of sweetness.

I had a craving for goat so I ordered the goat curry (medium spice) and my wife ordered the chicken korma. The goat was so tender and flavorful and they gave so much meat that I actually had leftovers (which almost never happens)! Also, just a tip: that medium spiciness has a kick! We also ordered the Nepalese chicken momo dumplings which were also very good. We ended the meal with my favorite Indian dessert, gulab jamun. They were swimming in sweet syrup and I enjoyed every bite! Great food and amazing service!

We were having dinner with a friend that eats Halal food and Bismillah popped up on Yelpas a good option. Being the uncultured person I am, the only reference to Bismillah that I knew of was from Bohemian Rapsody, so I had Queen running around in my head for the week leading up to this dinner. We walk in on a Friday night, the lights are off, there are no customers, and an older gentleman greets us at the register. It's not the most welcoming environment, but we are hungry, so we order our food and grab a window side table lit by the setting sun. Two modifications to our order - they ran out of mango lassi , and when I asked for Raita, the gentleman recommended the chutney instead. Also, no tap water, but you can buy bottled water. Turns out the guy behind the counter is the chef and waiter as well. We ordered Chicken Tandoori (leg), Lamb Biryani, Palak Paneer, Chicken Karahi, and Chicken Tikka Masala for our entrees. My favorites: Chicken Tandoori - nice char, flavorful and tender Chicken Karahi - kind of like a hearty chicken stew Onion kulcha and Roghni (sesame) naan - the garlic naan was actually a bit disappointing (on the dry side). So when we ordered more naan, we tried the other varieties and liked them better. Pricing was very reasonable.

Garlic Naan $2.50 - good

Tandoori Leg - did not taste right.

There is no private parking but all paid street parking except on Sundays. Came on a Sunday evening and it took is about 20 mins to find parking. We parked three blocks away so be prepared and allow time for parking. The restaurant had plenty of seating inside and outside. Good for groups and can make reservations on Yelp. There is outdoor heat lamps on chilly days. The place was busy with lots of people traffic but we were able to sit right way for two people. Service was pretty good but had to flag our server a few times with no issues when we needed something. We ordered mango lassi drinks, jalapeño cheese naan, basmati rice, Chicken Tikka Masala Thali, and Beef Chapli Kabab Sizzler. Only needed a small order of rice as it was already a good portion since we would be full with naan bread. The naan was good by itself and a good portion. It was stuffed with cheddar cheese and spicy jalapeño but better when dipped with the Chicken Tikka Masala Thali. The Beef Chapli Kabab was juicy and flavorful. Have to have this with their green mint chutney so make sure to ask for it. All dishes were a little spicy but not overbearing. The mango lassi drink was very good but I wish it was colder! Hope someone sees this in my review to make that adjustment. ;) Forgot to check in when I was here but had to rate it to share my experience. Good friendly customer service. Very modern and hip place to hang out. Noise level is loud so it can be difficult to hear each other if dining inside. May not be recommended for a date. Maybe, if you sit outside, might be different. Will be back to bring other people and maybe try their Beef Chapli burger for next visit. [35R,2026]

1 Star I went to…read moreZareen's looking for a job because I was going through a very difficult time financially. I had been without food for four days and had no money. I was simply trying to find work and get myself back on my feet. Unfortunately, instead of being treated with basic dignity and compassion, I felt humiliated by the way I was treated by the management. I was apparently assumed to be intoxicated and was treated accordingly. I understand that the staff may not have known what I was going through, and I can understand why someone might misunderstand a person's condition. But there is a huge difference between being concerned about someone and humiliating them based on an assumption. You never know what someone is going through. A person walking through your door looking for a job could be hungry, exhausted, sick, homeless, struggling financially, or dealing with a personal crisis. In my case, I had not eaten for four days and was desperately looking for work. What hurt the most was not being turned away from the job. I can accept that. What I cannot accept is being made to feel like I was less of a human being because of an assumption about me. I hope the management remembers that every person who walks through their doors deserves to be treated with basic respect. Sometimes, a little compassion can mean much more to someone than you realize. I left Zareen's feeling humiliated rather than helped. No one should be made to feel ashamed when they are already struggling just to survive.

The vada was great, but the idly seemed like it was microwaved which causes it to become rubbery and hard. However the dosa was out of this world.
