Delicious food. Lamb curry and keema was amazing. Visited late at night and it was one of the only places open. First time visiting and will come back again. Will order the same and definitely try their karahi and lamb chops. Not to mention their service was perfect. We got served under 10 mins of placing the order. Clean inside and their toilets are well kept. 10/10

“I had dinner at last night and really enjoyed it! The karahi was fresh, and the grill were as good as always. Service was quick.

First time visiting and honestly blown away! The lamb curry and keema were incredible — full of flavour and perfectly cooked. We went quite late, and it was one of the few places still open, but the service was spot on. Food came out in under 10 minutes, piping hot and fresh. The place was clean, including the toilets, which is always a plus. Can’t wait to go back and try their karahi and lamb chops next time. Easy 10/10!

Went to Birmingham for a shopping trip and found this place on a Google search for places to eat. It was a wonderful experience from the point of being welcomed in to having the door opened for us as we left -very respectful staff. We ordered a Tawa for 4 people - it was one of the best tawas I've ever had masha Allah. Every starter was juicy & succulent that smelt and tasted amazing. The lamb karahi/curry and chicken biriyani were just like home made dishes. Every thing was fresh and just tasted wonderful. Even the free jug of water wasn't just tap water it was seemed like filtered freezing water cold & refreshing - great especially on a warm day like it was today. A massive thanks from me & family and I can say you have made yourself regular customers especially if the quality of food & service stays the same إن شاء الله. The restaurant has been recently refurbished to a high & comfortable standard with free parking on the side road. The toilets were very clean and well maintained. I've already started recommending to family & friends. Many thanks and looking forward to coming again.

We ordered 2 'Large Tawa for 4' and we got 3 complimentary teas. The staff are so kind and inviting this really stood out to me. The actual decor and cleanliness is spot on too, a beautiful place. The Lamb Karahi and the biryani on the tawa was delicious. The starters were fire overall the whole Tawa was a wonderful experience. The main guy (supposedly owner) was super nice and came to check we were comfortable which was kind of him. This place is budget friendly and child friendly. Definitely recommend 10/10 !

I don't really post reviews unless it's really good or really bad. Needed a halal spot to eat at coming from London and nothing was open late at night so we came here after reading the great reviews. The food was really nice and I got a taste of Pakistan! Great customer service and kind staff. It truly lived up to the reviews.

Ordered the massive Tawa. They said it's for 4 people but probably for more than just 4. The meat have a flaming and smoky smell and taste. The curries and karahies are creamy and rich, perfect when combining with naan and roti. The breads are fresh baked and smell really good. Staff are friendly and patient even though we are asking lots of questions and ordering lots of food. Service is fast. And the atmosphere is comfortable. Definitely coming back next time.
