The food was so awful and disgusting, I'm starting to question if the reviewers here ate at the same place. This is anything but authentic Pakistani food. This food may be good to people who haven't had decent food or rather decent Pakistani food but as someone who can cook, I am appalled at the standard of food at this place.
For starters we got seekh kebab. Aside from the colour being an unappealing yellow which could be because of lentils added in or too much turmeric, the taste was bland. There was no flavour, the spices were not coming through and the meat itself was far too crumbly which could show that either it was old meat or the mixture was wrong.
The chicken tikka was edible, albeit lacking in spices however it was edible nonetheless.
The mango lassi was done well, however it is difficult to mess up a mango lassi, especially since there's only a number of ways it can be done.
For main course there was naan, chicken masala and karahi gosht. Oh dear God, where do I start? The chicken masala was unbelievably bland and tasteless which was partly due to the abundance of cream, though it was not easy to tell whether it was the cream or whether it was simply lacking spices prior to the cream being added in. I'd say it's the latter due to the fact that there wasn't any essence of spices in the dish. The taste itself was so bland, it felt like I was eating cream with chicken. In cases where cream is added, the flavour should still come through which is what gives it a spicy and creamy taste. It seems that they were simply unaware of what traditional cooking is.
The gosht karahi was revolting. You can garnish it with ginger but that won't change the fact that it tastes like you've added spices to oil. The flavour and spices were not grounded into the dish, they were present in the sauce however they were so overpowering that it tasted revolting. It was overdone to the extent that you weren't even sure which spices were added. There was no meat in the dish, it was simply a mixture of fat and bone. It was simply inedible.
The naan was honestly the worst naan I have had in my entire life. The texture itself was very delicate and thin which is not like a naan however I do accept it does vary depending on the chef. The taste was disgusting, it tasted of crackers which left me surprised and amazed at how you can mess a naan up so badly.
Out of all the restaurants I have been to, this has got to be the worst. Atrocious food and not...

Read moreIf you're DARK skinned or black, AVOID this place at all costs. Main front of house staff/waiter came across really patronising, angry and slow to respond to us from the moment we entered untill we left, well almost, but more on that later. An Asian couple who came after me and my BrItish (Nigerian) friend were served before us. No surprises there. Biryani was well below average although convinced the waiter came across like this was the first time I was ever trying "asian" food even though little did he know, I am British Asian myself. Before leaving the establishment, I told him I was originally from Bangladesh, and it was the first time he actually broke into a friendly smile and said he was really suprised as he assumed I was actually from somewhere else..........won't say anymore. Please avoid this establishment, take your money elsewhere as there are tons of more welcoming establishments no doubt that won't mistreat you as a customer based on their narrow minded and possibly bigoted views they hold based on skin colour. As a muslim and Asian myself, I felt more embarrassed and terrible on behalf of my African friend as he felt extremely awkward and uncomfortable thoroughout the entire...
