"Jaipuri Masala Bhindi Was Too expensive for the quantity. But everything was fresh and tasted good"
"4 DOSA BALL for a price of $9.99- such a scam. Also they were so oily, didn't eat after one bite, just small balls of potato, dosa batter was minimum, so call it potato balls! Moving on to the Rajouri Garden Chana Bhatura- really?! Has the chef eaten Rajouri Garden Chana Bhatura?? Not even close, to the taste. You should simply call it chana bhature, not Rajouri Garden Chana Bhatura, the taste is decent but the bhaturas somehow were bitter. They were very fluffy and to ny surprise not oily like the dosa balls, but there was a bitterness in them. But overall chana bhatura was decent-3.5/5. Comes with onion salad, pickle and raita."

"Ordered "flavored rice" at a higher cost but got regular rice. So that was disappointing. The flavored rice is a derivative of their Biriyani which is very good. Highly recommended - if they actually give it to you. This place makes good food so 5 stars. "
"This is my go to place for Hara Bara Kebab! Hands down best in the area. The Paneer Tikka is delicious as well. Cooked to the right consistency with perfect amount of marination.
I was a little disappointed with the green Chutney however. The curd was over fermented (possibly spoiled). I got a very strong whiff of pungent sour smell as soon as I opened the container. When I tasted it, it was definitely spoilt! The restaurant should give curd based cold items in a separate bag from warm items to avoid situations like this! "

"I've already reviewed the other dishes before, so adding a review just for Chana Pulao - Sherry Mehta this time. This was an incredibly fragrant and delicious pulao, the rice was perfectly cooked long-grain basmati, and the fried onions on top gave it the authentic pulao fragrance and taste. I really enjoyed it, and the generous amount of chana (chickpeas) made it more substantial and filling. Comes with raita (yoghurt dip) on the side, which was also just perfect. Ideally I would have appreciated a slightly larger quantity of raita, because I ran out towards the end. A version of this pulao with other vegetables (potatoes, peas, carrots, cauliflower, green beans etc) would be quite delicious, I hope they add something like that to the menu."
"The Kerala Porotta was great and a good value considering other places.
Chicken ghee roast was quite flavorful - and not too spicy, just how we like it !
One recommendation would be to reduce the salt in the Kalappam - otherwise it paired very well with the chicken.
Channa was great too."

"21. Lahori Choley, a traditional Punjabi chickpea curry, is an absolute delight at Khan's. The rich blend of spices, the tender chickpeas, and the flavorful gravy create a symphony of taste that transports me back to the streets of Lahore. Each bite is a burst of authentic flavors that are both comforting and satisfying.
35. Chapli Kabob (2 Pcs.) , a signature dish from Khan karahi, is a true masterpiece of flavor and texture. Each succulent bite of tender meat, marinated to perfection with a blend of aromatic spices, took my taste buds on a delightful journey. The smoky aroma and charred edges added an authentic touch, reminiscent of traditional tandoor cooking.
Overall, I highly recommend Lahori Choley and Chapli Kabob to anyone craving authentic Pakistani cuisine. Whether you're a fan of spicy curries or savory rice dishes. Both of these have something to satisfy your cravings. "
"The Chicken Biryani is terrible. It does not taste like a biryani at all. It's just spicy rice. Also, there was two tiny pieces of chicken. A waste of money!"

"The food is always fresh. I get butter chicken, saag/palak paneer, kabob tikka chicken, tandoori chicken, mutter paneer. The gulab jamin and garlic naan is the best here. Their prices are also cheap compared to other places with the same quality food. I never have to wait long for the food to come either. One of my favorite places, the buffet is also good too!"

"Bangda Combo was really good. The fish was well cooked and packed with flavors . Gravy was perfect. Just awesome. Surmai Rava Fish Fry was little too soggy . But nevertheless tasty and fresh. After disappointing experience from last order, they really picked up good in terms of food packaging and delivery ."
"The food came in a lovely tote bag. The Bhakri and Rava Surmai Fish were absolutely delicious and came in generous portions. The Shrikhand was delicious but I felt that the portion size was small. Overall I'd rate everything a 4.5/5."

"Consistent quality. My favorite ones are Chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. Garlic naan is very flavorful and fresh. I also tried Fried piece biryani, which was also very good. "
"Portions were extremely small for the price. Super expensive. Mild was NOT mild. About 6 small pieces of chicken, both masala and butter chicken tasted the same. The basmati rice was so expensive with barely any paneer. Only two pieces of naan . Nothing came with sides. Definitely would not order again."
