Had a great iftar here, the chicken tikka biryani was exceptional. Missed out on the gola kebab since I did not know the hype and only came to know about it when I came here to make this review, will be back to try that for sure! Would also recommend the sweet lassi!

I'm thrilled to have ordered from this exceptional Pakistani restaurant for the second time! The consistency in quality and flavor has earned them a spot as my absolute favorite. Every dish I've tried has been outstanding, with the Student Biryani being a standout favorite. The Kheer was also a delightful treat, although I felt it was slightly overpriced. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for its authentic and Pakistani cuisine.
