You have to ask for every service in the counter. Food is okay. Quantity is okay. We always have a high expectation from Pakistani restaurants so its our fault we expected more. Vegetable dish was the best. Chicken dish was pretty average. We travelled far bcz of its high rating but a bit disappointed.

Straightforward neighborhood pakistani food place. Few chairs and tables for dining in; easy online order for pick up (call or use Clover app). I am a returning customer! Samosas are crispy and filling. Samosa chaat (see picture) is refreshing and crunchy. Any of the skewers (see picture) will be tasty (especially while still warm). Butter chicken and Tandoori chicken cannot go wrong. Even the plain basmati rice is on point! Fridge filled up with beverages options and desserts. All desserts seem to be to sweet to me though.

I have been to countless South Asian restaurants and spent a lot of money. But today, I found my ultimate guilty pleasure of mine.

Tried their chicken boneless kabob platter. Kabobs we’re well cooked, so juicy. Absolutely loved the taste and texture of kabob. Chicke pea curry could’ve been better. Would definitely go back to try their buffet

Expected sub par…you know just a little dine in dine out spot. PLEASANTLY surprised…even with how they serve the food in the traditional pot! I was eat humming in my head. Glad I did not request xtra spicy, don’t think I would have been able to handle. Never had lamb biryani but chicken and I am hooooked. It was very delicious. I wanted to try the mango lassi but I am off sugar right now. I forgot to get me the samosa. Because I am in Ft Washington for the weekend I ordered Lamb curry for my next night dinner. I do want to try their lamb shanks so might have to take a drive Friday when they will have.

The service and food were both great. I came for the curry buffet, and it was all excellent food. The selection was a little limited, but the food they had was wonderful. The place is kept very clean and tidy, which helps with the cozy atmosphere. It’s one of the only all you can eat curry places around, and I highly recommend it. The whole place was just great.

Great food with unique spices from our culture that many other restaurants have forgone!! Every dish I tried here has a great quality to it with fresh ingredients. My favorite item here is the CTM bowl – they’ve mastered it down to every ingredient and the portion is perfect for a grab-and-go lunch or dinner. The biryanis are also great, as are the chaats and desserts. Tons of veggie dishes that I’m sure are great based on my experience with the spices in other dishes. Overall, a welcoming environment with great food at affordable prices – one of the best Pakistani restaurants in the DC area.

The chicken Tikka Masala was very yummy. The side order was perfectly spiced Garbanzo beans. Probably the best Indian food we have had so far. We also bought a Mango Lassi and that was phenomenal! We will be back and tell our friends about this place for sure.

We were visiting DC and decided to try this restaurant for takeout. It’s a cute, small restaurant with a nice vibe. The staff was very friendly. We ordered chicken biryani, chicken kabab (boneless), chicken vindaloo, channa, naan, samosas and pakoras.
