Shawarma & Grill House — Restaurant in Columbus

We went to see Ohio Caverns from Mason, Ohio. It was a cold day and we were really hungry. My number one rule for a Pakistani restaurant is that when you open the door, you should not be welcomed by the smell of spices. If the restaurant smells like food, I’m out…

This restaurant smelled fresh scent. We ordered so much food. Everything tasted so good. Just perfect. We had to wait like 20-30 minutes but it was worth it because the food tasted fresh. We enjoyed mango kulfi in the waiting time.

A heads up: They do not use chicken breasts in anything other than gyros, I think. My sister only eats chicken breast so that was a bummer. We were told that “no one wants that”, which we understand since that’s how most of the Pakistanis are😅 Once we started eating, everything was so great - the service and the food. We ordered gyros and some bbq items for take away. We had to sit for like another 20 minutes for the stuff to be ready but we ordered tea which was mixed with right amount of sweetness.

We are craving another trip just to eat from Alladeen...

Never had such a bad experience at a pakistani resturant before. Firstly very very expensive. 1 kabab would cost you $13 and kabab was ok, not over the moon delicious nor bad.

I ordered butter naans and it seems like he gave me naans from last night. No butter on them and they were very chewy. I got all my teeth yet it took me half an hour to finish 1 naan. I gave up after that...

I order chicken kharai which was also from previous night and no fresh at all. Also ordered lahori channa and that tasted a little better than most. Chatni was so watery i could barly keep it on my spoon and it tasted horrible. So overall i spent $110 for 5 kababs, 5 naans and 1 chicken kharai that serves 2 and 1 lahori channa that serves 2 as well...

I think i could make way better food at home than this place restaurant. Will never go to this restaurant ever again even if they gave me food for free. Horrible place. Won't stay in business too long with this kind of...

Mutt and Jeff opened a middle eastern restaurant and tried to do too much. There's no doubt this occupant of the former Venky's and Casablanca's location is authentic. There's a prayer room and a handheld bidet in the restrooms. More power to them. A suspicious number of entries on the menu from labneh to qalayet bandora are all masquerading as ground chickpeas, vegetables and deep fried patties. We braved this to order. And got what tasted suspiciously as baba ghannoush instead of foul m'dammes. The falafel were good, as was the tabbouleh. The green/black olives order was forgotten and we got a bowl of canned olive when reminded. The grape leaves were likely from a can. We were definitely less than whelmed...
