If you never had Pakistan. food before this is the place to go.. I definitely will be back. I am giving it a 4rating only because the rice was a little to spicy"

That means there is plenty in one order of Chicken Tikka Biryani for two people. I'm a grown man, and i was really hungry, and i finished almost half of it. Anyway, really good, not dry (!), and mint lemonade is the bomb. Cheers~"

If you like flavor and a little bit of spice or a lot of spice this place is the best. I particularly like the fast service."
