Read moreWell , we drove from arlington, thats Exactly 29 Miles from my home , coz we saw a video of their iftaar buffet on tiktok and insta , on tuesday we called the restaurant and enquired about the buffet , lady told me over the phone its everyday iftar buffet and all the items seen in the videos are everyday items , today wednesday we reached there for iftaar and the owner is already arguing with a another customer that you need to reserve table ahead and make payment ahead , well including my family and two other families had to break our fast in the parking lot with a bottle water we had in the car , one star just for the poor management, not for the food since we didnt try it , i never seen any business send back their customers , before this was lyari we used to visit tikka king regularly , was expecting same service from new owners , but all this could have avoided if they train right these students who work at their restaurant, they could have told me over the phone they need reservations, from their parking lot called a diff restaurant with iftaar buffet in Irving , they said they need reservations aswell but its ok just come over , we went there , they setup diff tables for us and made it happen .. felt really bad for my family and seeing the rest two families breaking their fast outside in the...
Read moreI don’t leave reviews until i go back home but this place has a very nice relaxed environment as well as great food that it made me leave the review right at the spot. So I ordered chicken korma, goat karahi and a tea. Everything came really fast. Quality of rice were excellent. I wish there was more meat pieces in goat biryani but over all taste is good( medium spice level). Enough for two- 3 people. Chicken Korma comes with one naan. Korma was Medium spicey. Good serving for one person, even two people can eat it. Let’s talk about Naan here( that wasn’t naan…… it was something else OMG,,, I’m still drooling over it. If I could give 5 stars to Naan only I would give. I ended up ordering two more. Over all I enjoy everything. Now let’s talk about service, I was pleasantly surprise at how professional and soft spoken their serving staff is. DHANUSH was my attendee, what a great guy. I got to meet the female Chef aswell👩🍳 👍🏻. We paid almost $36-40 for two. I would love to try something new on my next visit. Highly recommend this place.
