We tried the Halwa Puri and Irani chai, and both were excellent. The puri’s were light and and tasty. The aloo, channa, and halwa were especially delicious.
One of the best places in town. We tried beef haleem. Its taste was 10/10. Due to our good experience of eating haleem. we also ordered beef nihari for home to eat for next day. It was very delicious. I highly recommend this place.
What a great place. While we were waiting for our food to be prepared, people were constantly coming in and getting take-out. That's a sign the food is good. Well, we weren't disappointed. The chicken was moist and flavorful, not dried out like other places. The rice was so tasty and there was so much of it. Fresh naan was awesome too. We will be back. Thank you for wonderful dishes.
