Samir is a Rockstar!
Amazing biryani & Haleem. Would be nice if the chef stays around late to try their fresh naans.
Only improvement for Mr. Zaheers amazing biryani would be add potatoes to give it an authentic Karachi taste.

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 🤷🏻🤷🏻

I tried the Chicken Achari Curry & it was bursting with flavor-perfectly spiced, tangy, & cooked to perfection. You can really taste the authentic achari (pickled) essence. Highly recommended for anyone who loves bold, rich curries! Will definitely be coming back for more.

recently visited this fantastic spot for biryani, & I have to say, it's one of the best Pakistani food experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. The staff were incredibly friendly - especially the girl at the counter who chatted with me about my order. Soon after, the owner himself came out to greet us, which was such a nice personal touch. He not only made our biryani fresh but even tailored it to my preferences, showing a level of care that's rare to find. & the food! The biryani was bursting with flavor, perfectly spiced, & just so fresh. I even got to try the Nihari, which was equally amazing. Everything from the presentation to the taste was top-notch, & I could tell they take pride in every dish they serve. The naan deserves a special mention - it was the softest & best naan I've ever had. Even when I ate it later that night, it stayed perfectly soft, unlike naan from most other places. The whole experience was memorable, & I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic & delicious Pakistani food with outstanding service. 5 stars all the way!
