Samosa was not cooked, haleem was awful & lamb in lamb karahi was hard like rock. Never going back ever.
Edit after owner reply. Thanks alot for reminding me of Nan too. I forgot to mention that Nan was raw. Btw lassi was also awful smelling so bad that my husband almot had vomiting after taking a sip.
We packed away all the food because we couldn't eat & was thinking to give to some homeless but I throw away as I decided not to give that hard rock lamb to even any homeless.

Disappointing drop in quality today - standard was completely missed - I am a regular at Mama Khan, but today's experience was highly disappointing. We ordered the chappali kebab, which is usually a beautiful dark brown & packed with flavor. Today, it completely missed the mark.
The first plate they brought out was hard & burned. After we sent it back, the second attempt came out a dull, unappetizing brown (see photo). When I pointed this out to our server & showed them a picture of the chappali kebab we typically get here, I was simply told that they had run out of a specific spice, but that'it would improve next time.'
Frankly, if a critical ingredient is missing, management should just tell customers the dish is unavailable rather than serving an inferior version. The server really didn't seem to care. On a positive note, the chicken karahi was nice, but this is far from the food & service I typically expect from Mama Khan.

One of the best pakistani restaurants in the city. Love the duo paratha & lamb stew!

I ordered the Peshawari chicken & absolutely loved it-it was packed with flavor. Huge respect as well for the public service they do by feeding people in need every Friday, which is truly incredible. I'll definitely be back to try the Charsi chicken karahi next!❤?

Amazing food. Aalo kheema was great. Music was a bit too loud, that's the only negative.

I came to Mama Khan from Ottawa to especially share this meal with a friend on my birthday. This was my second time at the restaurant & the last time I came was a decent experience & the food was good.
Last night, my friend & I went to the restaurant. The food was still quite decent. Here is some constructive feedback for the restaurant.
The server needs to be trained on how to serve properly. We had to remind him of napkins, water, straw individually. He was polite but not very competent.
The restaurant had no cold drinks. When I asked the server for drink options, he said there was nothing except tap water. Later he shared that there were some options for soda. He gave us some lukewarm sodas with terribly straws that did not work.
The bathroom (toilet) was incredibly dirty. We went to wash our hands & came out feeling dirtier.
Overall, while the food was decent, our experience was not good. I am from Pakistan & understand dhaba style dining & can tolerate a lot more than my fellow Canadians who don't understand if the service is part of'authentic' experience or not.
As a proud Pakistani Canadian, I would love Mama Khan to invest in some basics for their restaurant. The food is good, experience needs to be so much better. I shared my feedback with the server as well because the things I pointed out can be fixed with some effort.
Bottled water, cold drinks, clean bathrooms, better straws (even from dollar store) - some minor changes that can make this a much better experience for all who want to support the business.
