Rajput Halal Pak Cuisine حلال C5 Amvel — Restaurant in Parañaque

NOT very authentic Pakistani taste. I got mislead by the reviews on google maps claiming it to be authentic Pakistani cuisines and wanted to give it a try. This is not to give negative remarks but to save myself and other fellow Pakistanis that are looking for Pakistani/Indian style of cuisine. It is halal food and that's that. so prolly don't get your hopes up in terms of taste and don't get fooled by the reviews just like i got fooled and came here to taste. There is no car parking. The food is very bland and not very tasty, even worst than typical very street restaurant in Pakistan. Imagine a road-side restaurant in Saudi is more tastier than this restaurant. Its like they just put Shan pre-made masala in every dish they're making. The chef isn't Pakistani which i could see from reception window while i was ordering food.

They tried mimicking Karachi biryani which wasn't even closely related to taste of Karachi biryani. Slightly pricy for their serving sizes and the restaurant ambience. They had 3 different serving size option for biryani which was very confusing. The student biryani is cup of rice serving 🍚 the solo is slightly bigger and 3rd one was i think sharing/family i didn't ask that serving size.

Another Major issue is the staff doesn't even know the local Pakistani dishes name. They keep on insisting on "chana Daal" is lentils while i said that its "white chick-peas" daal chana. At the end, had to show them a picture of daal chana to tell them what I'm ordering. Wanted to try samosa and gol gappy. But they don't know what is gol gappy is too since the owner or whoever put it, call it pani-puri. 😊 and it gets frustrating to explain...

We had a sumptuous halal dinner at the newly opened location of Rajput Halal Pak Cuisine. The interior exudes a warm, cozy vibe because of the yellow light, plants and wood decor.

As always, their biryani is delicious and aromatic. (I served this on our wedding and most guests asked me where I ordered it from, that’s how good it is! ☺️) The long-grain basmati rice is fluffy and fragrant, while the chicken is tender and flavorful. You can really taste the cardamom and the saffron but it’s missing some heat. New on their menu is their brick oven pizza. We got their Rajput Overload. It has chicken, beef, shrimp, white onions, mushroom and cheese. One slice will fill you up because of so much toppings. It’s our first time to try their samosa, the pastry is crunchy and the chicken and potato filling is packed with flavor. It melts in your mouth! Their sabji mixed veggie which is buttery and had light notes of cumin and pepper paired with either garlic or plain naan is a perfect combination!

What I enjoyed the most is their karak chai and pani puri. I haven’t been to Pakistan but it did transport me to the busy Chandni Chowk of Old Delhi and the cold September nights in Manali. Oh happy days!

We really had an amazing time. Good food which did not break the bank. Reasonably priced! We will definitely visit again. Thank you!!!

A little feedback: provide an average waiting time when the food will be served so customers won’t be impatient and...

I was invited here for an Aqeeqah, it was an honor and a memory to remember.

There is always beauty in finding a Halal restaurant.

Rating: Chicken Biryani 4/5 Love the way they cooked the Biryani rice then we just had to get some chicken curry to complete the dish.

Hummus 4/5 The pita bread is paired with this and the combo is amazing, love the fact that they had some olives on top.

Pani Puri 4/5 Wonderful, crunchy and had good fillings, I just do not know of the sauce for this should be cold.
