I heard the news that this restaurant is serving Halwa Puri. In my excitement I go check it out on a Sunday. Unfortunately, it did not start well.

1st whatever they have playing on their sound system is so depressing & LOUD it ruins any good mood & causes a headache!

2nd Halwa Puri in taste was below average. You would think a Pakistani restaurant known for its originality would have made the Channa with some spices but no. It was bland. Halwa itself had no flavour no sweetness or taste of desi ghee. The only good thing was the freshness of puri.

3rd I know ordering Halwa Puri is not the biggest order but the server looked annoyed by me dinning in for it. I still left $10 tip on a $20 bill. Because I know server/hostess work very hard.

I do not recommend wasting your trip. I hope the team at the restaurant takes this feedback with a grain of salt. I know you work hard but for Halwa Puri & ambiance you didn't deliver.

Upgrading my rating:

Second & third experience (5 stars): I visited for breakfast. Halwa puri was perfect! My family enjoyed the food & service. We appreciate the experience.

I am glad that I gave them a second chance. I will be visiting for the breakfast here often.

First experience (1 star): I visited late night. Despite a decent interior, the dining experience fell short with below-average food.

The chicken kabuli pulao lacked freshness, & cold when served. The butter chicken had a stale odor. The naan, though okay, couldn't redeem the overall disappointment.

Additionally, it's worth noting that almost all of glass cutleries on our table had broken corners.

The consensus among workers (cleaning the floor around us) was a bit gloomy, except for one lady who seemed cheerful & kind to my kids.

This is the only spot I visit for Halwa Puri. While the taste can be hit or miss, the Puris are always fresh, The service is decent, It's a spacious venue in a prime location with great potential. With a bit more effort & attention, they could easily take this place to the next level.
