Our Guestbook
“ The place looks very basic - we almost changed our minds, but are glad we didn’t. The food was delicious. Our three and five year olds polished off the butter chicken, devoured the naan and ate every bit of pappadum. The service was friendly and helpful, and the price was incredible for what we got. The place was busy so it’s clear everyone knows it’s good. We will be back! ”
“ My goodness, this is a treasure of a food place. I ordered delivery. From other reviews, it does seem that the restaurant itself will not impress you. But the food is fantastic. Great biryani and amazing chicken tikka with Naan. It's now my go-to for delivery food nights. Great packing job as well ”
“ Loved their Hyderabadi Chicken & Lamb Biryani! Tasted just like back home and super reasonable price at 10 for chicken, 15 for Lamb. Tried their Haleem as well, was good. The staff was super friendly as well. ”
“ Wow some magic delicious food here! Flavour! Love this place for years. Only problem is sometimes they are out of things on the menu and I can't order them. heh. Yummy ”
“ First things first!! Out of all the items I tried, I very much liked the chicken dum biryani which exactly tasted like the one that we get in Hyderabad, India. Apart from biryani, the other items that we tried are chicken Tikka which is spicy as well as tasty, chicken kebab & Tikka, naan with chicken karahi are also pretty good. One downfall of this restaurant is it is self-service and put no expectations on ambience. ”
“ The OG. There's no competition. This place is legit. Getting their naan kabob is a must. Biryani was especially delicious, especially considering this time we walked In pretty late and I was expecting something reheated....but nope it was fresh. Same owners for the last 25 years and the quality is the same as it was in the 90s. Very affordable prices too, so make sure to always tip well! ”
“ Follow @bredgyeats for yummy food pictures! Boy, have I been taught a lesson in judging a book by its cover. The exterior is certainly easy to miss, but you don't want to be missing out on the tikka chicken, nor their naan which is some of the best I've had ever. The chicken is bursting with juices and flavour, marinated with a complex mix of spices and a slight creamy tanginess from the yogurt, finished off with a squeeze of lemon for a perfect balance of flavours inside your mouth. Completing this iconic duo is an unbelievably soft and fluffy naan that is evidently freshly baked to order, brushed with a finishing of ghee for a subtle yet indulgent fragrance. ”
“ We had an absolutely delicious meal here! The food was fresh and the flavors were a party for my mouth. The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was casual, relaxed and comfortable. We will definitely be back! ”
