This Pakistani restaurant serves seriously tasty food in a diner-style setting. We tried the halwa-puri thaali - the puris were fresh and fluffy , and the halwa was just the right amount of sweet ( thankfully not a sugar bomb!). There was also a zingy canned lemonade, and a delicious goat curry with tender meat and a delicious gravy. The garlic naans were huge - though they turned a bit tough after sitting for a while ( our fault, we were too busy nattering away to eat them right away). The chana in the thaali was a highlight - super soft chickpeas swimming in a tasty, if slightly oily gravy. Service was quick and low-key. Overall, a comforting meal that we will happily come back for - just maybe eat the naan while it's hot next time!
This is our go to place for good hearty desi food. The food does take a while to come out, but is usually fresh and flavorful and reminds one of the authentic taste of these dishes back home. We usually get the halwa puri, paratha omelet and nehari. The paratha is especially better than anywhere else in the Bay Area.
We ordered Goat Biryani . It was delicious and one of the best biryanis in the Bay Area . The mutton pieces were so tender and full of flavor . The quantity of rice and mutton pieces were enough for 2 persons . For the price the best value it was. Will definitely order again .
I recently ordered two lunch specials to go from Lahori, expecting a satisfying Indian Pakistani cuisine experience, but unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. Firstly, the price was exorbitant at $17/18 per lunch special. For this price point, I expected exceptional quality, which was not delivered. The saag paneer lacked flavor and tasted bland, failing to meet even basic expectations for this classic dish. Additionally, the eggplant curry was excessively oily, leaving a greasy residue that was unappetizing. The portion of rice provided was meager, barely filling the container, which was quite surprising considering the cost. To add to the disappointment, they only serve half a naan bread accompanying the plates, it was hard and cold, as if it had been sitting out for far too long. The overall presentation and quality of the food were subpar, especially given the premium prices charged. In conclusion, for the amount paid, the quality of the food fell short on every front, from taste to presentation. I would not recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking a genuine and satisfying Indian Pakistani dining experience in San Jose.
This restaurant offers a delightful experience for lovers of authentic Indian cuisine. Their tandoori chicken is impeccably cooked truly captures the essence of traditional flavors. The chicken kadai and tandoori roti was freshly made and served.
