    Chicken Briyani
    Areeba Z.

    I got Uber eats from here on a weeknight and was not disappointed. As a Pakistani myself, it is very hard to find authentic Pakistani places. Disclaimer Pakistani cuisine is not the same as Indian food if you want vegetables go for an Indian restaurant if you want meat go to a Pakistani restaurant and you won't be disappointed, I decided to get their chicken biryani & chicken Karahi. The service was fast because my order arrived in around 30 minutes and the food was piping hot. The Karahi was piping hot with lots of masala. I don't like that they give basmati rice with most of their dishes when they really should be giving naan. No one back home eats this with rice. disappointed that if you want none you have to pay five dollars extra. The biryani was delicious also with a lot of masala and enough meat to rice ratio. Will definitely get takeout from here 10/10 recommend! Sidenote, do not get butter chicken/chicken tikka, masala/ saag paneer..you're at a Pakistani place! Get something authentic.

    Cancelled orders

    I really want to support a local business, but my GrubHub order has been cancelled multiple times in the past month. Thirty minutes after placing the order, I get a message that it's cancelled without an explanation. I really like their food but I'm disappointed.

    Chicken Vindloo
    Lourdes R.

    I was visiting Boston and in search of a locally owned restaurant for dinner. This was within walking distance of my hotel. From the outside, it just appears to be a small restaurant that wasn't busy. Once inside, I was immediately greeted by the owner. He was very friendly. A young hostess then came and led me to a table. There is Pakistani decor around the restaurant that gave the restaurant a homey feel. The owner and I talked about his life back home, him immigrating here, and this business. He was generous with his time and talking about the various menu items with me. I ultimately decided on chicken vindaloo. This dish was delicious! It was mildly spicy. The chicken was tender. The sauce ratio was excellent for the amount of chicken and potatoes included. It came with a side of rice that was perfectly fluffy. The owner recommended I try the garlic naan and I'm so glad he did. It was fluffy with the right amount of toasty and the perfect amount of butter and garlic. The food portions were generous. I ate there and took half home. It was enough for one more meal for me. This restaurant participates in Door Dash. They had several orders picked up while I was there.

    Garlic Naan
    Kelly Z.

    I'm soooo happy I found this place! This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but most authentic and family owned businesses are like that around Boston. That's how you know that the food is authentic! The garlic naan was crispy and fluffy with a thin layer of butter! Not too buttery and look at those air pockets! That's what good naan looks like. The chicken achari was flavorful and the chicken was tender and moist. The rice was fluffy and warm and the combination of the achari and rice is a spoonful of warmth. The food tastes homemade and it feels like comfort food. Although the restaurant looks a bit old and needs some renovation, the food speaks for itself! Yum yum yum

    Lamb Korma
    Christina P.

    Great food! Very fluffy naan toasted to perfection, and the veggies samosas were so good that I ordered extra to go. The lamb korma was a bit on the drier side for the meat, most likely due to the cut and cooking style. The chicken vindaloo was great, the potatoes so tender alongside the chicken. When I come back, I hopefully will try their food with a bit more of a kick, it was a bit on the sweeter side in my opinion. The mango lassi was so good, it was very flavorful and not too much yogurt, like other Indian places would do it. I got chai (not pictured), and it came with no sweetener, which i thought was nice so you could adjust sweetest to your liking! The restaurant was pretty empty, and parking wasn't an issue after 6pm. I hope the restaurant gets more hype it deserves! I'd love to try the biriyani when I go back!

    Chicken Kahari
    Johnny G.

    When you are craving Pakistani food you have to go where you have to go. We should have heeded the more cautionary reviews about Zam Zam but we always take some negative reviews with a grain of salt. The restaurant was non distinct and upon entering there were no enticing aromas. We did a GrubHub order for the beef Nihari and chicken karahi. You know how to go orders often look kind of sad. Well when we looked at the Nihari we were even sadder. 4 pieces of meat in a pint of oil for 19$ plus gratuity. We make Nihari at home and the size of this 19 dollar entree was more sized for a toddler. The chicken had sufficient meat but suffered from the same oil slick issue. Yes we know these are usually oily but not just 0il . It's a rich gravy not just oil. Anyway, we came, we ate and we won't return.

    Mango Lassi
    Abeer R.

    Cannot express how much this food is good- it's a different level of takeout/delivery. It is so delicious, authentic and much more! I wish I had better photos to share, it was so good we couldn't wait to devour it! I was skeptical to order from here, even though I was craving it, due to previous experiences with other authentic restaurants. But it didn't disappoint at all! Again, it's so so delicious and def ordering again.

I ordered the chana masala, veggie samosa, and a Taj Mahal beer. These are my usual go to items, and all of them delivered. I ordered medium spice and it was perfect. Just enough heat that I was sweating a little, but still going back for more. Very good balance and flavor. The menu has plenty of options and covers both Indian and Nepalese dishes, which makes it easy to come back and try different things. Food quality felt strong across the board. Service was quick and friendly. Inside, there is plenty of seating and a comfortable, casual setup. They had pleasant, modern Indian music playing, which added to the atmosphere. It is right on Broadway in Teele Square, so easy to get to. The only minor downside was some loud chatter between staff, which could be a little distracting at times. Overall, this is a reliable neighborhood spot with very good food and solid service. Based on this visit, I am comfortable rounding up to a five star review. I will be back.

    That spicy chicken tika sauce yes!…read more Came here for dinner on a Sunday night and it wasn't too crowded. The restaurant is nice with a few tables for dining in but there is also an order at the counter for pick up and to go orders. My bf and I decided to order some veggie momos to start and decided to share the chicken tika and the chickpea masala. The waiter was very nice and attentive and quickly took our order. The momos came with a yummy sauce which we enjoyed as we dipped each Momo with ever bite. When the chicken tika came out it was sizzling and smoking and it was so loud because it was on a hot cast iron dish and it smelled so good! The chicken tika came with this super tasty, spicy dipping sauce which I had never had with this dish before, and it really blew us away! I wanted a bucket of this sauce on all my meats! ASAP! The chicken was super tender and juicy and the sauce made it irresistible! We really liked this dish and quickly finished it. We each should of gotten our own order of chicken tika! The naan bread with the chickpeas masala was perfect and our rice was nice and fluffy. We thought we were going to have leftovers but we literally wiped our plates clean! Everything was delicious, savory and so good! We will definitely be back for that chicken tika and spicy sauce and this time I'm not sharing! Hahaha!

    Decent South Asian and Nepalese place with surprisingly a karaoke night!…read more The bara is a fried pancake of sorts, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The dipping sauce was good as well, possibly a mint-like flavor. The pork momos were really good too, with nice crimping on the skin and decent fillings inside. The chicken vindaloo was decent, though I might have liked more specificity to the flavoring of the vindaloo. The potatoes were nicely textured. The chicken bites were a bit large, they could have been chopped up a bit. The gorkhali khasi (a goat curry) was fairly decent with tender nice pieces. The flavoring was oversalted and again could have used a tad more definition. The bone-in aspect was appreciated as it held the flavor of the meat. The bhindi masala (okra) was fairly successful with a solid infusion of flavor into the okra. The dish was overall too oily though and some steps need to be taken to minimize the oil. All in all quite enjoyable!
