The Kulfi and Chat Papdi are also worth trying. Unfortunately, the ice cream here is a bit of a miss and this impacts the Falooda. If you just look at their ice cream in the case, you can see that the temperature control isn't very good and the ice cream is melting and re-freezing. Independent of that, the quality of the ice cream isn't amazing either, but it's still worth checking this place out if you want to try some Indian desserts.

I stopped eating there because I would go for the honey chicken wings and it is not there anymore. Other than that, this restaurant has great food with the right amount of spices and seasonings. I would recommend this restaurant to people who enjoy authentic Indo-Pakistani cuisine. Although my favorite meal is no longer served, this is still one of the best restaurants I've eaten at.

But the only thing is that the pizza was quite greasy and the tables were kind of dirty. But I guess they probably had a rush since there was quite a lot of customers.

We ordered over the phone, and our meal was ready when we arrived. Now that's efficient service…read more Our order consisted of six pieces of fried chicken with french fries for $13. Unfortunately, the portion of fries was RIDICULOUSLY small. They must have given us something like ten fries, and they didn't even season them! I understand that a lot of people are worried about their sodium intake, but french fries need to be salted to taste even moderately edible! And when someone orders six pieces of chicken, they're obviously going to need more than a single serving of fries (just saying). Each piece of fried chicken was quite small, especially compared to chain restaurants like Church's Chicken or Kentucky Fried Chicken. I assume that this is because they use only halal meat in this restaurant (which I'm guessing is more expensive and more difficult to obtain than regular chicken). But to their credit, the restaurant's owners gave us eight pieces of chicken, which we appreciated as it helped make up for the small portions. Unfortunately, the chicken was also not salted and didn't even seem fried. It looked and tasted more like "boast chicken" which is the less oily and less greasy version of fried chicken. I can't speak for any other menu items at this restaurant, but I wouldn't recommend ordering their fried chicken. If you want to get a tastier fried chicken (and you're not afraid of going to Richmond) go to Red Rooster Fried Chicken instead. It's also a fried chicken restaurant, but resoundingly more delicious.

I liked that they brought the paya in individual bowls to your table. The chai was fantastic as well. Service was a bit lacking.

We also had to ask for some items several times before they were brought to our table. My friend asked for a side of onions and wasn't told there would be an additional charge on the bill for those.

Apparently it is newly renovated and open 7 days a week until 11:30pm. Their menu offers different types of pizza as well as AUTHENTIC indian/pakistani food. They also have chicken wings and kulfi for dessert. The minute we walked in we were greeted and seated and given enough time to read through the menu. They also have an area to read prayers. The chicken karahi and chickar cholay were GREAT. You can tell these owners know their desi food. We did not taste the pizza but I'm almost positive it's delicious as well. Their naan also arrives fresh, piping hot. This was one of the best halal restaurants i've ever been to. friendly owners, clean restaurant and fantastic service. Highly recommend to Surrey locals and any muslims visiting the vancouver area. It takes about 45 mins via public transportation but it is WELL worth it. will def revisit if ever in the area gain.
