When I first came to this place, it was interesting to see a section in the back for Muslim prayers while the rest of the place looks more like a cafeteria than a diner. The food is very good and the long grain rice is perfect.
Almost everything is in curry sauce, Chicken, lamb, veggies. They have fried eggplant, potatoes and the rice special with 2 meats for $10 includes a side salad. They give you foam cups with a pitcher of water, but what I do is go to the corner bodega, get a Tecate or Modelo and there's an improved meal for you altogether.
There was one time they hired a very nice Cantonese girl from Brazil who spoke to me in Cantonese and the boss and patrons alike mocked us and even more recently, the food server said "Chinese and Korean same thing Ching Ching Chong Chong," If you are an attractive female, don't take it personal that the owner keeps staring at you.
Before serving your food, they nuke it in the Microwave and the food is generally not hot after its been microwaved. Salad is more onion than lettuce so it's spicy. I only had diarrhea from this food 2 times out of the 5 times I've been here. I don't know if thats good or bad.
This little place is a tiny little hole in the wall spot for Pakistani food. The place looks kinda dingy with the lights dimmed and the green paint feeling kinda stark.
The food is set up in a little buffet line where you look at the person and point to what you want. Two items and basmati rice is like…8 bucks. It's tasty, it's a lot in a little tin and it hits the stop when you feel like you need some pakistani food.
I think i can pass on going to get it again though. For the food it's only 'sok
Had biryani the first time cause its my kryptonite. All the other food looked really good as well and freshly made around 1 pm. It got busy really quick as well. Will def be back to try the other dishes!
Most Pakistani's restaurant's aren't going to be rated highly if the food is in front of you and they microwave it. When I'm working in Manhattan and craving Paki food I'll get it but its nothing spectacular.
I love this food, great blend of spices, just perfect, they can customize the spiciness
in each dish, love the chai, and great Biryani. it's great for group gatherings, price wise not bad. it's always bz, has delicious sweets, and specials everyday of the week. Must try Chappli Kabab with naan. 2 Adults can fill up easily for $27 includes dessert and tea. Will be back!!
If you want greasy & authentic Pakistani food without the passport, this is the place to go. All dishes served with a side of regret.
The food here is average, but memorable just bc of how greasy and uneasy it makes you feel afterwards. The mango lassi however is a must try. I could get that injected into my veins.
Staff is really friendly & helpful.
This place seems like it'd be good after a long night out & a better alternative to Waffle House (is that even in nyc or just a southern thing?)
smh smh smh. i said id give it three stars then i went to write and i could only give it one. any fucking place that is prejudice against any kind of person that is seemingly "different" than them is totally unjustifiable. and the fact that its cosidered normal, that they still get the begrudging food is absolute bs. i hate that old world casual racism. cut that shit out. you're making us look ignorant, backwards…and yes, you are, we arent. so stop treating our friends like shit. oh and ur food is shit. its bog murk. its indescribable. its fucking waste. its suspect as fuck. and its not portioned properly…its terrible. lamb curry that has no curry. you just dumped a few pieces of meat on a shitload of rice. yuck. samosas and pakoras with no chutneys…..thats fucking unreal. like what a fucking waste of effort. and naan that goes with nothing because they didnt give a real curry. bs absolute bs avoid this place.
The distinctive green awning may be gone, but Cuisine of Pakistan keeps going, serving "nice and spicy" Punjabi food all night along.
The following things have not changed since I first visited five years ago:
* The mint green paint job
* The stall in the front, which used to sell videos but now hawks mobile phone accessories
* The worn prayer mats in the back
Jars of waters on the table, cups dispensed upon ordering
* The special kabob and naan, mixed in with raw lettuce, tomatoes and onion
* The main behind the counter, who seems to be there whether you arrive at 5 pm or 1 am
It's all very low rent, but of course the line of parked cabs outside and the longevity of the establishment are clues of the quality of food on offer here. Well after 3 am on July Fourth, I came here with a friend, walking down from Hell's Kitchen. All of the booths were occupied, as people had platters of lentils, samosas and boned chicken before the sunrise or their shift began, whichever came first.
Subcontinental food can be a real disaster on the island – overpriced, under seasoned and presented in dull, fake-fancy surroundings. This place looks like nothing else if not a rest stop I once visited many years ago in Haryana – bustling, well-lit but otherwise spartan. And the food is damn tasty, no matter the hour.
The line moves super quick and there's always a lot of delicious food options. With all the food turning over, I'm surprised they still need to microwave anything. But they often do, and it's a bit disconcerting. Is that steam table even working?
