“My friends and I drove here from queens for Iftar. When we arrived we were told they were all booked and could not seat us. Once they heard we came all this way from NY they called us back and went to make extra chairs just so they can make some space for us to eat! Really appreciated their accommodations for us. The place was packed and roo Afzal water was passed around for Iftar. You order your food at the front register and they bring the food to your table. Both the hangry burger and gappa chaat were really good. Definitely recommend.“
“Just had the best Pakistani food in New York. Karahi, daal chawal, behari boti and kulfi were soooooo good. Also special mention to our server Aneeba. She gave us an amazing service, went out of her way to help me charge my phone. Restaurant is super clean and maintained.“
“We ordered to go here when we were driving through Jersey City. Brother Humad was kind and patient even though we had never ordered there before. He explained everything on their menu to me. We ended up going with the samosa chaat—it was by far the most delicious chaat I have ever eaten in my life. My wife also agreed. We’re both Pakistani so we’re quite familiar with what makes a great chaat, and this was it. It was so good that I’ve been craving it ever since. We also ordered the keema samosa (excellent), the plain paratha and the keema paratha (both excellent), and some seekh kababs that were good but just a little spicy for our taste. For dessert we got some jalebi (not the special one but still great) and the shakkar para, which were done in a way I’ve never seen before, but they were still absolutely delicious. It was almost like I was eating little baloo shahi. Great place, awesome atmosphere and decor (wow, that map on the wall!), friendly service and great food. What’s not to love?“
“When I first arrived in the USA, I was afraid to buy mutton because sheep meat was the only kind of meat that was available everywhere. However, after knowing about this store, I realized that it was the perfect place to get mutton because it was such tender, high-quality meat.“
“Went on a hunt for halwa puri, found it at Mehboob-e-elahi. Large portion delicious taste. The aloo was mixed with achar which I’d never seen before. Wow was this place great. Would def recommend and will be returning for my next halwa puri craving with my family. “
“Hands down, the best Pakistani restaurant in the area. Incredible food and excellent service. Very welcoming and hospitable owner. Always a great experience, I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. Definitely try the Butter Chicken and Nihari Beef (weekends only), both amazing.“
“Our experience at this lively and charming Pakistani hole-in-the-wall was the cherry on top of my family’s trip to NYC/Jersey City.Our people (desi) tend to be quite introverted, but our friendly and warm server, Charita, helped us feel right at home from the beginning to the end - sharing fun tidbits, and recommending us the tasty Gajar ka halwa as her personal favorite dessert at the end. I wish every server at every restaurant had her energy and zest for people.Among the four people of our party, not even one disagreed with the fact that each and every item was made to perfection. From the Chappali Kabob, to the Karahi, to the kheer which transported my mother back to memories of getting kheer on Bans Road in Karachi every Friday after Jumuah, we had a very lovely and memorable experience.“
“Easily best Pakistani restaurant in the entire NYC metro area. The food has authentic Pakistani flavor, and to my knowledge the only restaurant that serves authentic Karahi. Also the best environment among all Pakistani restaurants in the NYC area. The Sunday brunch is also a must try. Highly recommended!Vegetarian options: Malai Kofta and Daal are excellent.“
“recently tried takeout from Dera Masala Grill, opting for the Chicken Shish Kebab and Tikka Masala, Pakora. While the flavors were decent, I found the overall experience to be average. The packaging was satisfactory, but there was room for improvement in terms of presentation and taste. The service during the pickup was efficient, but there was nothing particularly memorable about it. Overall, it was a decent option for a quick meal, but there's potential for enhancement in both food quality and service“
