Ali’s Biryani BBQ & Grill — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

I’m so glad Asif Ali reopened closer to the community, giving us another chance to enjoy authentic Pakistani food. This spot is mainly takeout, but there are a couple of tables if you want to sit down and eat.

One of the best-kept secrets here is the samosa chaat, which isn’t listed on the menu, you have to ask for it. It’s a must-try. You get chickpea curry layered with a samosa, yogurt (raita), fresh green chilies for a spicy kick, chaat masala, onions, and tomatoes. The flavors come together perfectly, and honestly, it deserves a spot on the main menu.

I also ordered the chicken qorma with bone-in chicken (yes, he has both options, but the bone-in gives way more flavor), and it was outstanding. The aroma, the rich gravy, and the taste felt just like a true home-cooked meal. Paired with two buttery naans, the portions were extremely generous; enough for two or three people easily. Unlike some places that skimp on serving sizes, Asif really packs the containers.

If you’re craving authentic Pakistani food, this is the place to run to, not walk. The food is hearty, flavorful, and comforting. Between the hidden menu gem and the perfectly made qorma, this spot delivers on every level.

I don’t think my pictures do the food justice, but I hope they at least compliment the review and make you want to go try it for yourself.

Shoutout to Asif for bringing this back to life. I hope his new business thrives, he...
