Great Pakistani/Indian cuisine! #1 is our go to with chicken, been, chickpeas, rice and naan. Can't go wrong just doesn't have the following!
Yummy!! So so good. Portions of our lamb tikka masala and chicken biryani were generous.
Came here with friends on a weeknight... Personally, I love Pakistani food as the absolute BEST of all the Middle Eastern curried dished, but I'm partial to it as it's what I was raised on and I've had it in Pakistan over several visits and I know it quite well... and this place does it quite nicely! Service is typical of an ethnic joint - Meaning they're friendly, but don't expect over-the-top service, utensils, plates, etc... this place uses paper plates and you have to ask for nearly everything you might need - but I don't hold this against them as they mean the best, there's a slight cultural difference that needs to be considered. A great example of that is that they even came out and offered us some AMAZING kheer as a free dessert after we were done with dinner. Their chicken kaharai was great! Very tasty, nicely spiced, and made just right. Their aloo polak was decent and their naan was ok (slightly too thick). The biryani was excellent, as was their buttered chicken, channa, and vindaloo chicken. Would highly recommend them for a very nice, Pakistani (which is the BEST) curry and kabob experience. I'm even more partial to them as my family is from Rawalpindi (where I've visited many times) and the name reminds me of that village.
Excellent food and service. It was raining when we arrived in big group of about nine people it was after 8:00pm but the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be back.
It was a amazing place, authentic food, super nice staff owner, I couldn't wait to dig in the food it taste so good and authentic, portions were amazing
The unassuming exterior hides the quality family restaurant beyond. I've enjoyed the food in store, to go and catering and it's all good. The kabobs are a solid choice but my most favorite items are the butter chicken and chickpea curry. There is nothing in this area that compares to the texture and flavor of these two dishes. I find it impressive that a small restaurant can create these complex flavors very consistently. Rawal is a must try! Quick note: dishes seem to be made to order as there will be a 20-25 minute wait for your order when dining in.
Used to go to this place on a regular basis several years ago to eat Chicken Karahi. Food taste changed for worst when the original chef left. Recently, decided to give it a try and was surprisingly delighted. Ordered chicken karahi, goat curry and palak paneer. All three dishes were very good and has nice flavor. Since we have been there few more times during different times for consistency. Found out that the owner's wife is the cook for veggies and curries. Will be a go to place again.
The chicken was very well done, moist and full of flavor. I loved the garlic Naan, so soft and delicious. I didn't like the Palak paneer so much. It was one of the oiliest (or I guess buttered) curry I've ever had. I mean pools of oil in the curry. I have to watch how much oil I consume due to acid reflux so was a bit disappointed to see how much oil or butter was used. In my opinion, it just is uncessary and ruins the dish. I took it home and tried to see if I could let the oil cool and separate, but the whole thing just solidified, oil too since I think there was that much butter. I could tell it was butter as you could really taste the sweet buttery flavor. Anyway, would never order that again and if I were to come back I'd ask for their least oily curry on the menu. I think they're more known for their meat anyway.
