The food was delicious, and spiced exactly to desired heat level. The samosas are definitely worth trying. Everyone in the restaurant received on our visit received the highest level of customer service. Restaurant and bathrooms were super clean. Highly recommended

Had Chicken Dum Biryani. The serving was pretty good for 2 people. As someone from Pakistan, I can assure you that this place is legit. All authentic Pakistani dishes are served here. The Biryani was delicious. Didn’t expect that in this part of NC.

The food was so delicious. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The chef personally came out to see how we liked the meal. The rice pudding dessert was absolutely amazing.

Food is excellent! Someone left a review complaining that the food was too flavorful! (People are strange.) Some people gave it lower ratings for the staff not wearing masks or the decor. The decor is nothing fancy but as you may expect. It’s fine. The workers are very friendly. The main dishes are enough for two people, but having leftovers is even better! I love this place.

This is definitely not a briyani placee. You guys should change the name of the restaurants. This is a complete joke. I have tried briyani all over the USA as it is my favourite food. This the worst briyani I have ever had. The disgusting briyani very dry and meats are not fresh and no test. Please either change the name of your restaurents or shutdown it, please do not disguise people.lam

Amazing! We had the samosa chaat which I struggled to share…lamb dum biryani…one of the best. Side of raita (perfect to cool your mouth off). Different kulfis for dessert.

One of my favorite lunch places. The food has much more flavor than similar restaurants in town. Used to go to the Indian buffet down on lexington but the food here has more flavor and you don’t have to deal with all the zombies – kinda too bad because the owner of the place on lexington is a really nice dude.
