It was a late barhopping night, and these classic sweet shops are open 24/7. I went in and was mesmerized by a long row of colorful sweets in various shapes and sizes. 4 for $2! Since it was late, and I got my friend to get some as well. I had a pink and white coconut covered stick, and these small sweets that were like doughnuts. The only downside is the freshness. The sweets look like they have been sitting there for awhile, and didn't taste fresh either. I wanted to try them all! Maybe next time I will!
The main great thing about this place is it is open 24/7.That is actually how we ended up there. We needed a place to eat at midnight and it was the only Halal place that we could find that is open. As for the food.. Our meal came with soup. I didn't try this soup because even though I am quite familiar with Pakistani food I wasn't familiar with this at all. My friend said it was disgusting so I am happy that I passed. The main course itself wasn't that great either. My dish wasn't really that spicy and honestly didn't taste that fresh. So I had to struggle to get it down. The best part of the meal was probably the chai at the end. That I enjoyed. And it helped wash away the taste of the meal. I wouldn't say it is the best or freshest Pakistani food in town. The staff is friendly. They served us and were very polite. We paid $18 for dinner for two.
I frequently go here when I am in the mood for authentic Indian food. I find that the flavors and prices are better than those at the places that are tagged as Indian Restaurant.
Aside from taste the way the food is sold is also different. You pick the size container you want for a certain side and you buy the side. Typically I opt the the smallest container and pick four different sizes this ends up costing $12 including the fresh naan. I always opt out of the salad because I don't care for it and I never buy the rice since the bread is better.
I have never stayed to eat because the place seems more like a locals spot …. If you visit you will understand what I mean. Most recently they started accepting cards which is definitely an added benefit.
Service can be a little slow hence the 4 stars.
my friends live around this neighborhood so i yelped for economic places to go eat and this place popped up. they serve buffet style. i have no idea what i ate. i asked the guy behind the counter to hook it up for me. he asked if i liked spicy food and and i said no because some people are not sensitive to fire and i am. I'm afraid most customers at this restaurant eat way more spicy food than i do so i rather play it safe.
my meal was awesome. it even came with a small soup as a side. i don't remember how much i paid for this but i want to say it was around 12 dollars.
Great food and fair prices! They're open around the clock which makes them a perfect stop after a couple drinks on Cortelyou. Most of the food is ready, so there is no wait. In addition to having food, they had a decent selection of Indian and Pakistani desserts.
found Mashallah on yelp and decided to give it a try. was a little disappointed in the chicken tikka masala. again, it wasn't the buttery creamyness that i was seeking. a friend did warn me though that tikka masala is interpreted and isn't actually an authentic dish. we dined in, and everything came out quick. the garlic naan was a bit on the dry side, not much garlic flavor. the chicken skewer was decent, although medina makes it spicier and a little tastier. the food here didn't leave me craving more so my hunt continues!
