Eid breakfast was crazy busy as expected — had a 40 mins wait to get a table after adding our name to the waitlist which wasn't an issue at all. The real problem was the complete lack of service we received after. We came with family and were seated right next to the counter/kitchen area which had staff constantly moving around us. After sitting for 45 mins, we didn't have a single person come to clean our dirty table and had to hunt someone down to finally do it. It took an hour and 40 mins to get our food on the table and that too, only after asking them five times for an update. No one seemed to know what was going on, there was poor communication between the staff and they blamed the severe delay on a "glitch" in the system. Meanwhile, we watched at least two large tables come in and go while we waited. Even if there had been a technical error, it doesn't excuse why no one cared to ask why we had been sitting empty handed for 75+ mins, especially after we followed up several times. Anyone we flagged down seemed disinterested in helping out until we got firm with them because it was just getting ridiculous at this point. It's a shame how things went down because the food itself was good; halwa puri, lassi, nihari, aloo paratha and desi omelette were quite tasty but the beef paya was pure oil and spice. People were packed like a can of sardines despite the spacious size of the restaurant and the women's bathroom was absolutely filthy with no paper towels. I understand Eid can be the busiest day of the year for such a business and I feel for the servers who had to deal with all this stress but this level of poor management needs to be addressed. Instead of having servers constantly swapping out roles, they should have an orderly system with dedicated tasks to prevent such chaos from happening again.

Visited this Pakistani restaurant for breakfast and had a mixed experience. The halwa puri was average and didn’t stand out much, but the malai boti paratha was really good and had great taste. The tea was also very good and complemented the meal well. The service was friendly, and Aisha was very helpful and provided great service. Overall, a decent spot with some dishes worth trying.

Anaya provided outstanding service. She accommodated changes to our order and ensured everything was exactly right. The service was fast and efficient. I highly recommend them not only for the excellent service but also for the great taste and pleasant ambiance.

Was craving to have a desi breakfast at 7am in the morning. The only place I saw was opened was this restaurant. This place is part of eggs and more. Without a second thought decided to give this place a try. Reached the place, it was almost empty. From welcoming to be seated to the table took less than two minutes. Menu was handed over right away. The server was polite and patient as we were deciding what to order. We were informed prior the food will take around 20-25 minutes to come on the table as they make it fresh. We ordered anda fry (sunny side up eggs) and lacha paratha (multi layer flatbread), beef nihari (curry), halwa puri platter and Pakistani chai. The food came one by one instead of all together as whatever was done it was served piping hot. The floor staff was making sure everything is good throughout the time. I enjoyed mostly anda with lacha paratha although I find paratha not thick enough to hold the layers. Still it was the star of my day. The beef nihari and halwa puri was okay to my palate. My family members liked it though so it depends on your palate too. The chai was what everyone was waiting for while the breakfast was coming to an end. My family loves chai! While asking their input I got mixed reviews about it. Overall it is a nice place to visit with friends and family. This place also offer American breakfast and other Pakistani breakfast options too. Alot to explore one visit is not enough. Everything served here is halal. #halal # pakistanirestaurant

We thoroughly enjoyed the food! We ordered breakfast, and everything was delivered right on time. The quality, taste, and presentation exceeded our expectations. The qeema was flavorful and perfectly seasoned, the nihari was rich and delicious, and the anda bhujia was cooked just right. The halwa was fresh and indulgent, and the pooris were soft, hot, and perfectly made. Every item was prepared with great care and tasted absolutely wonderful. Thank you for providing such a delicious breakfast experience. We will definitely be ordering again and would highly recommend it to others.
