The food is always fresh and consistently reliable with spice and delicious flavors. They have a very large dining area that looks like it can accommodate large groups and events. And the staff and owner are always attentive. I usually get the Combo platters because you get a little of everything: salad, Naan, Chicken Biryani, and a choice of 2 meats. If you're in the area give them a try!

Its the best. Super thick n Tastes of real mangoes. Theres a lotttt of vegetarian and vegan options for anyone with dietary restrictions. The customer service is also splendid. The owner personally caters to his customers and makes sure everything is top notch.

Its a super cute family spot. We asked our waiter for recommendations and let me tell you, I give him 5 stars! We had the fried fish to start and shared the goat something or other, butter chicken, Roti and Naan. I can't tell you how many time my eyes rolled in pure enjoyment. I was so so sad when I got full because it was all soooooo good. The spices were so fresh and perfect. I could feel my pores opening but didnt feel like I was on fire. I ordered take out for my husband to try and so I can have more tomorrow because I know I'll be thinking of this meal non stop. I cant wait to return to try more amazing dishes!

We have been regular customers at Good Food by Uzma. In the beginning, the food quality and portion…read moresizes were excellent, and we truly enjoyed visiting on weekends. However, over our last three visits, we've noticed several concerns: The taste of the food has changed, and some dishes were not properly cooked. The karahi gosht is no longer prepared the way it used to be, and the portion size has also been reduced. The seating arrangement feels too cramped for the space, making it difficult to move around comfortably. When concerns are raised, the standard response is simply, "we will let them know," without any visible follow-up. We genuinely enjoy dining here and would like to continue visiting. However, the inconsistency in food quality, along with pricing and portion concerns, has been disappointing and is making us reconsider. I would greatly appreciate it if the owner could give attention to these issues, particularly ensuring consistency in food quality and taste.

I ordered the paneer platter and it was ok. I feel there was more rice than the paneer given. I wish there was a spice level option as well because I like spicy food. The web page pictures are misleading because for one the Makhni in the picture is more of a yellow curry base, whereas what I got was more of a red-orange (more so the color shown in the tikka masala image). My friend ordered the butter chicken and it was the same deal with the color, but I also have never had either dish before with a more yellow curry base so lol I just wanted to say it's inconsistent. We also ordered the Heavenly Hummus to share. Hummus was good, pita was good, but whatever was spread on top of the pita to make it a "garlic bread" was very strange tasting. We didn't particularly enjoy that portion of the pita.

The food is outstanding and the people are very friendly and extremely welcoming. My "go-to" dish is the chicken and rice platter with salad. As mentioned, the food quality is exceptional, very flavorful and always fresh. Chicken chunks are very tender and well seasoned. The rice is delicious and the salad is always fresh, crisp and cold. They have a wide variety of sauces and they always ask if you need more. And, yes, the platters are enormous. It is literally impossible to walk out of this place feeling hungry. The Halal Spot also has lamb, falafel, butter chicken and wide variety of other dishes. So if you are looking for a place that serves outstanding food, enormous portions that is reasonably priced. Your "go-to" spot should be The Halal Spot. Yes, it is that good!

I went with 4 other people and they all loved ALL the preparations. The naan was delivered fresh to the table and the Biriyani was perfectly cooked as always. On that particular day they had... Mini salad station, French Fries, Daal (5/5), Okra (5/5), Paneer (5/5, very soft!) Tandoori Chicken (3/5), Chicken Biriyani (5/5, their best dish), Achari (Pickle) Chicken Curry (4.5/5)...Some other chicken Curry (4.5/5)...see a pattern here? Our biggest complaint was the lack of variety in the meat. They all tasted delicious, but I wanted some high cholesterol, plaque forming, red meat, damn it. I get that other meats are more expensive, but come on! Even an egg curry would have broken the monotony. Also disappointing was the appetizers. I don't know about you, but Pakistani food is synonymous with Biriyani and kabobs for me. I would have even settled for chicken kabobs. If Mezbaan is going to make a proper impact on the lunch hour scene, they need to up their game.

Not too many strange spices, not too creamy, not too salty but just the right taste! The restaurant is beautiful and authentic. Not too big and not too small. We had a professional group event there, and the owner let the organizers decorate it very nicely. She was so gracious in our use of the restaurant. From the look of it I knew the dishes I selected from the buffet were going to be fantastic. I am Pakistani so I know good food when I have it lol. Whenever we go out we are disappointed- outside food is never as good as the food at home but we keep trying to find good dishes outside. The owner is Indian so I believe the dishes are more in Indian style which we have been looking for for a long time! We actually have tried 2 Indian restaurants within the last few weeks, one down the street in Piscataway, and One in North Brunswick, and they were both highly disappointing- too many strange flavors (we love spicy food but not too many strange spices and creams etc).
