| - I really am shocked that this place gets so much business. I have been here 3 times now and have received different results each time and as a result will never go back. I'm not one to write negative reviews for places but this place really stands out that I'm taking the time to write this to hopefully warn others in some way.
The first time was okay at best. Very slow service and the staff aren't particularly friendly either. The food was pretty good when we got it and, since it was for a gathering for friends and family at home, the food had very little left over. It was worth the low prices for sure. However, my stomach wasn't happy with me the next day but I figured it was just bad luck.
Second and third times are a different story. On our second time, once again, the service was terribly slow and not particularly friendly but the prices are good for fresh food so you put up with it, right? Except the problem is that it's not fresh at all. We got chicken karahi that we didn't realize had gone very bad until we got home. We opened up the sealed container and instantly the smell clearly indicated it was spoiled. I was pretty shocked but the other items we got seemed okay so we sort of shrugged it off a bit as a one time thing.
But it definitely was not a one time thing. Third time we went, because I'm clearly foolish for not learning from the last time, we got bhindi and kheema and it tasted fine, though the kheema seemed a bit off. There was some leftover so we packed it and left it in the fridge overnight to take for lunch the next day. Opened it the next day and instantly the smell clearly indicated it went bad. How can food from this place go bad so quickly? It may be cheap but it's a big waste of money. If you're a person who likes to spend their money rolling the dice with their food, try this place.
Its really a shame because I want to support local businesses, especially Pakistani, but please avoid this place. Clearly there's some health violations going on if their food is this inconsistent and bad. I'm really surprised too, they are usually quite busy. Do other people just have iron stomachs or am I just getting unlucky with the amount of spoiled food they have given me? Either way, I will be avoiding this place not just because of their low quality food, but also because of their poor service.
Updated my review to 2 star because their chicken biryani is consistently good and an amazing value.
