One diner mentioned the phenomenal Eid buffet, with a standout dessert of falooda. Another praised the ground beef kebab for its juicy and well-seasoned taste. The establishment's 35-year history speaks volumes about its consistent quality and service. Truly a must-visit for those craving authentic Pakistani and Indian flavors.

Great food! Went here for buffet in the morning and was not disappointed. Food was fresh, flavorful and made your arteries feel sorry...

Place has changed quite a bit, but I still come here with my family every once in a while. Food quality is very good but the spice levels on certain dishes are ridiculously high and it's like eating peppers instead of tasting flavors lol. I recommend coming on weekends for the buffet, you get to try more! Dining has gotten larger, great for gatherings. Service is decent.

Got a to-go order - quick service upon arrival as usual. The butter chicken here is my favorite in the Nova area!

I came on Eid, and had a buffet. The food was phenomenal. For dessert I had falooda, which was great!! The best I've had in a long time!

Average Pakistani food. Good value and economical. Good for normal day eating Nothing special

This wonderfully decorated business has been there for 35 years. They must be doing something right. The service was very professional. I ordered the ground beef Kebab that came with rice and a salad and non-bread. My husband had the mixed dish plate which came with chicken, lamb and beef kebabs when I think Bob's I think of meat on a stick as per their menu. But it wasn't like that it was still delicious though. I gave the rice to my husband who said he liked it. I found the ground beef kebab, well seasoned good portion, size and very juicy. The Nanbread was very big a little dry but it was good. It's Brad. My husband said he enjoyed his meal as well. I carried part of it home, because I thought it would make a really good base for a Bolognese because of all the great seasoning and I was right.
