This place is close by my office and I was in a pinch so decided to pick up a quick bite. They have…read morea lot of different types of food to choose from between fried chicken, pizza, burgers, Mexican and even Indian food. The prices were good and they had some cool combos too. 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.

Well, they both tasted the same - I'm not even sure I could tell which was which, unless he just gave me two of the same things.

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.

Biryani was very good in terms of properly cooked as usually people add red chili powder on the top their try to make it spicy but they dont know that it destroys the taste on the other hand this biryani was properly cooked and spices were properly marinated. All in all a very good alternative if you are in newyork.

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.
