    This place has such amazing biryani, you can get lamb, veal, chicken, or just the rice.  I haven't had the lamb or veal, so I can't attest to the quality of them.  The rice is fluffy, long-grain basmati, seasoned with saffron and biryani masala, and shockingly, no turmeric.  It is the best I've had anywhere.  

    The place is a dive in a strip mall (why are these always the best places to eat?!).  Horrible decor, with only 8 or so tables, it's at least clean.  

    Their curries are amazing, mostly Pakistani style, and very spicy.  The seekh kabaab karahi (sic) was probably the spiciest curry I've ever had, and I absolutely love spicy food. Their butter chicken is superb, thick and creamy with a slightly sweet note.  The chicken tikka masala is loaded with onion and chunky green peppers in a thick tomato gravy, it's a winner.  

    I'm working my way through the curry list, but everything I've had has been excellent.  I heartily recommend this to lovers of Indian and Pakistani cuisine, you will not be disappointed.  Just stick with take-out, or ignore the pedestrian decor, which won't be hard once you start eating.

    My rating might have been a 5, but the sit-down service isn't great, and they often bring me a small garden salad before my meal and while this is a nice gesture, it's not very fresh and has no dressing with or on it.  No thanks to the plain limp lettuce!

    Tried the takeout bryiani after online suggestions.  Was consistent  ( lamb ) tasting for 5 or 6 times. Service lacking more each visit from on ready to no forks and missing salad thingy.

    My last visit I got 2 small pcs of meat and a large bone.....

    This place has very sub standard south Asian food. Ordered naan and chicken tikka once and they were not even cooked properly

    Love their Chicken Biryani. (not too oily as Mystic) Good taste but unfortunately I was not a fan of their Curry.
    Cheap and affordable pricing for take out.

    This place surprised me! I must confess I wasn't expecting much when I walked in but the food was delicious.It's a short walk from the Delta hotel where I stayed for 2 weeks and during this I must have tried at least 6 dishes and everyone of them was good .Their Karahi Chicken,biryani and nehari warrant special mention.
