Title: A Heavenly Experience: Delicious Zinger Sandwich and Exceptional Service!

Review:

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the restaurant, and I must say it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the stage for a memorable culinary experience.

Let's start with their star attraction—the zinger sandwich. Oh, my taste buds were in for a treat! The zinger sandwich was a perfect balance of crispy, flavorful breading and tender, juicy chicken. The zingy seasoning added just the right amount of kick, leaving me craving another bite with every mouthful. It was truly a masterpiece of sandwich perfection.

Beyond the incredible food, the service was second to none. The staff went above and beyond to make sure my dining experience was top-notch. From their friendly smiles to their prompt attention, they made me feel like a valued guest. They were knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and accommodated my specific dietary needs with ease. Their attentiveness and genuine care truly elevated the overall experience.

The restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained, with a comfortable seating arrangement that allowed for an enjoyable meal. The waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that my glass was never empty and promptly clearing plates to maintain a tidy dining area.

In conclusion, if you're a fried chicken lover seeking a divine zinger sandwich and impeccable service, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. From the tantalizing flavors of the zinger sandwich to the friendly and attentive staff, every aspect of my visit was exceptional. I can't wait to return and explore more of their mouthwatering menu offerings. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Overall...

I have eaten at this restaurant about 10 times now. This is one of those places where certain items you will definitely crave because they do have certain products which are unique for which customers will drive 20 minutes to eat. Their quantity is also generous. The number one dish in this place is Chapli Kebab. Which is a peshawari style chapli kebab. They use to serve it with a pulao rice and salad. But they took that away from menu but you can request it with special request. It will be 13 dollars. I strongly encourage those who can eat beef to request from Ali, the owner, the chapli kebab rice platter. The burgers are large portion and they have a fusion touch to it pakistani/american style with again generous portion. They do innovate their own sauce which is actually good and works with the burger. The beef burgers and chapli kebab uses nices fatty minced meat which releases a lot of juice. Which is the way it should be :). A kebab or a burger paddy cannot be dry . I have also tried their chicken kebab, which is average. I have tried their weekend special biryani and haleem. Nothing special. Some dishes are executed very well while other are average. The strength of this place is its fast food and chapli kebab. The main meals need to be improved in terms of preparation. The seating space is ample, canteen bench style good for group gathering. As a fast food join I would rate this a 4 and as a restaurant a 3.5. I will...

Lados has a very unassuming look from the outside that's very easy to miss. Don't be fooled though. This could be their ploy to lower expectations before they wow you. I visited them on Jan 1 2021, still dining as COVID protocols would allow. Their dining space is well lit and has a lot of elements of pakistani culture and south east asian hospitality. It was one of the few places that made me want to visit them once things opened up for dining once again.

I got a zinger paratha roll and a chapli kebab roll along with an order of the lados fries. The zinger roll is a piece of fried chicken a la KFC with "Ayesha's secret sauce". The chicken was perfectly cooked, crisp and we'll seasoned. The roll was a little small in my opinion and left me wanting more. The chapli kebab roll was not really a kebab but the roll itself tasted good. Mildly spiced as before, there was a few different flavors at play that I enjoyed. The fries were a tad disappointing as the sauce that was added made it really soggy. My 20 minute drive back home was probably to blame but in case of to go orders, i think it may have been better to give the sauce on the side to not result in soggy fries.

I'll definitely go back to try more of their menu. Lastly, be sure to try the chai they offer while waiting for the order. One of the few places in the bay area where chai tastes like it was intended to instead of a brown...
