I love tasting new restaurants and wanted to stop by this place . Fantastic location . Right in the heart of Lexington Avenue . Lots of other restaurants nearby. Lots of space inside to sit and eat . Even though the ambience is not that great , it's ok for a quick lunch .. service could be better. All guys go inside the kitchen and hardly come out . Wish they had a bell or something in the counter outside for the customers to call them . Sometimes you keep waiting for many minutes before they come out . For the price , food was good . They have many food items on display and we chose some curries .. quantity was good . Naan , white rice and 2 non veg curries for 13.50$. Not bad. ... goat curry was good . Perfect Lahori taste . Chicken curry was average . Could have tasted better . My only issue is presentation. The y just mix all curries in rice and they are smashed all across the plate . Wish they give these curries in separate containers so we can enjoy the flavor of each curries . Another thing is they just reheat these curries . They are precooked . Sometimes with that , we wouldn't know if it is fresh . It tasted fresh though. Overall a good restaurant but giving them 3 stars . Will visit again and check and improve my ratings if needed

The meats were good. The chicken was very delicious. My knock on this place is cleanliness. There were flies flying around the food. The food that they serve you. Which is cause for concern when they don't have it covered. Then they just reheat it in the microwave. So that's not exactly ideal. Despite that I'd go again. It was good and not too expensive.

I overcame my indecisiveness and landed on a chicken burrito. Big mistake because this might be a contender for worst burrito I've ever had. Literally was just chicken, rice and beans. Super dry, no flavor, not even cheese?? Lettuce? Luckily they gave me green sauce on the side which added a smidge of flavor but definitely not enough. They didn't wrap it in foil so it fell apart immediately and I think they used chicken they put inside was half inedible cartilage and bones. Maybe their other menu items are better but definitely stay away from the burrito - there are better spots for that nearby.

I loved this spot and rate it third behind Mido's and Adel's for all of the halal carts I've tried…read more The rice is perfectly cooked, and I loved the charred flavor of the tandoori chicken. Green sauce is a must. Lace it with that shit. This was quite addicting, balanced, and not as in your face as the flavors of Adels and Midos. Which I don't mind. This feels lighter. No line ever, and it's quality. If I lived in NYC this would be a staple for me.

If you're expecting a cute aesthetic and polished service, this isn't it fam but that's part of the charm and honestly, I loved it. Plenty of seating and even a downstairs area when it gets busy. The food is made fresh daily and displayed up front which I always take as a good sign. You order at the front and they bring it out to you. We got the aloo gosht and chicken karahi with naan which was an easy 8.5/10. This tasted like home. Super authentic, warm, and comforting. The naan is made fresh, portions are generous and they're definitely not stingy with the meat. We left with very happy bellies.

The food was served hot and fresh. Our party had two orders of lamb kofta (2 sides each) and I had the Persian chicken kebab which was a bit salty tbh but overall had a nice flavor and adequate spice. 9/10 as it could have had more of all (veggies, and baba ghanoush for the $17 price). The dining area is utilitarian with the din of traffic from the adjacent corner (W40th/9th Ave) as a constant. Meh, it's NYC you'll hear horns and traffic everywhere at all hours. I give a 1 star deduction for plastic cutlery, as opposed to bamboo or some compostable variety. TIP: definitely get the baba ghanoush it is a standout due to its wonderful smoky flavor

Nothing fancy, just delicious food for an unbelievable price. When you walk into this large spacious "cafeteria" with steam trays, it looks clean and quiet. There was a lady at the cash register that wasn't too helpful, but I guess the communication barrier played a part. At $8.99 per pound, you can really fill up here for an insanely good price. My favorites have been the beef dishes and therefore often skip all the chicken items. However, feel free to make a plate anyway you like. At the end of the day, I'm sure it'll be great.

The spicing can be quite different from other styles of cuisine, but whether or not you like it is a personal decision. I liked most of the food that was offered. I found the baked chicken to be excellent. The stewed chicken and the goat dish were also very good. Vegetables are all excellent...from greens to cabbage to carrots...all are delicious. The whole fish has a distinctive strong taste that took some getting used to...perhaps a lot of paprika and red pepper, but I'm not really sure...certainly a nice portion size. Staff is very friendly and hospitable. Highly recommended.
