quality has dropped unfortunately, non-veg thali used to be great. Recently ordered & the curry was completely watered down with the two smallest pieces of chicken in each. Also they somehow completely burnt the inside of a samosa. Such a shame, used to be my go-to place.
I came here a few times before & enjoyed their food. This time not so lucky, I waited 1h15 (not joking i checked the time of my receipt) for a chicken byriani when the store was empty. The owner was kind enough to give me a free drink, but my mood was pretty bad. I was gonna give it a 1 star but I saw a few boxes filled with takeout orders, so they might of been really busy. Anyways I'm not gonna back to this place.

I plan to return to enjoy this little gem of a place again. The service was friendly & excellent. The food is full of wonderful flavours & the portions are healthy. It is a small venue not set up for large groups but at the same time well worth the trip!!
Popped in for a late lunch. What a great little place. The front desk person is incredibly genuine & the food was amazing! Very generous portions! Highly recommend it!
Not only has the quality dropped over time (using white rice in biryani for volume for example), if you order through DoorDash & spend over $100, the promo they provide for $10 reward is not respected. I tested it out & the store keeps cancelling my order every time I add the reward. Disappointed but not surprised. The prices are also around 30-50% higher. DoorDash has also confirmed that they have flagged the merchant for similar practice with other customers. It's too little of a value for OPC to be involved but at least rest of you can be aware.
We've been trying to order from DoorDash since yesterday, but our orders are consistently canceled. If you're unable to place an order simply close your account access instead of reopening it each time. You're wasting our time.
?? Edit: I called & they told me they hadn't accepted my order since yesterday because of the $10 discount I received for spending $100 at this restaurant. It's completely unacceptable to make money off their customers like that.

I eat biryani from here regularly! Their chicken biryani & korma are my favorite. The prices are also reasonable. Usually I order in Uber. Last day I visited the restaurant physically. Totally deshi vibe, all the stuff are friendly. They treat the customers well.
I have been eating here for the past 2 years. Everything has been exceptional well prepared & authentic dabaa style biryani - also they gave us aloo biryani just because we asked for it even though it wasn't in the menu. CHICKEN TIKKA LEG IS A MUST TRYY - AFFORDABLE & EXTREMELY FLAVOURFUL
Anyone who complains about the taste of biryani is flatly lying & has never tasted real authentic pakistani daaba style biryani - just saying 🤷🏻🤷🏻
