The location on 12th Avenue and 8th Street SW is much superior to their new location on 2nd. 12th is not licensed but Pakistani food, if served properly, does not include alcohol at all. Muslims do not drink alcohol. Seating is sparse but it is well worth the wait and it is the restaurant of choice, downtown, for Calgary's Pakistani population.
Nothing is over priced and everything is superbly prepared. I have eaten here well over 100 times and have tried everything on the menu. The goat chops are succulent and melt in your mouth, the karahi dishes are properly spiced with huge portions and very tender. For the adventurous they serve paya (cow or goats trotters), haleem which is lentils and shredded beef, and nihari which is a traditional Pakistani beef curry. All are 100 percent authentic. For those more finicky, try the chicken curry which will fall off of the bone. They do serve butter chicken but that is an Indian dish not Pakistani.
Two people can dine for $35 and be stuffed silly. Your mouth will sense what you have eaten long after you left.
