The chicken tikka was great, very flavorful, a little heavy with the seasoning/spices, but I liked that. The chili chicken wings were amazing, the perfect mix of spicy and sweet. The chicken lollipops would've been better if they had the sauce that the wings had. They were a little dry and lacking in flavor. The virgin mojitos are very sweet kind of similar to soda. Mango lassi was solid, not too bad, but not the greatest

Beautiful decor! The chicken tikka sandwich was okay. But I loved the masala fries. Didn’t like the samosa, it was filled with cumin seeds. The falooda shake was good but can be better with real falooda toppings. The struggle was that there wasn’t any menu. We were told the only way we can see the menu was to scan the QR code. Cool feature for a digital world. But unfortunately my phone died and I had to wait till my husband came to place my order. Very inconvenient. They should at least keep one printed version of the menu.

I was excited to try this place. I love the decorations, but I wouldn't go back for the food honestly. We ordered naan, the lahori chicken karhai, and chicken bihari kebab. The karhai had way too much salt in it and didn't even taste like a karhai. The naan were hard and some were burnt. The chicken bihari kebab didn't even look like it or taste like it, instead they just tasted like simple chicken tikka boti. The last thing we got was mango mojitos, which were really good. Though the only thing was, one was for $10, which is really expensive for that. Usually, the most I have seen charged is $8 probably.

Delicious Chai & snack food, very well seasoned and spicy, nothing too much. Discreet and efficient service. The prices are very reasonable for a restaurant in Bergen county.

Food made to order, fresh and delicious. First time having Pakistan food and boy was it a great experience. The ambiance and aroma of the restaurant is outstanding. It is a must visit destination.

Great ambience, great street food like aloo tikki sandwich, chapli kebab sandwich, chicken tikka rolls. Doodh patti was exactly like back home in Lahore. There was only one server, and he was doing a great job serving everyone, personable, making great conversation. As they get busier, will definitely need more servers but a must visit. Btw plenty of street parking on a Saturday night when we visited

Great innovative decor. They have a mocktail bar (did not try) The food is high end. Very good quality and flavor. Enjoyed it a lot. A bit pricy but good sized portions. Overall glad to see a higher end Pakistani place around this area. Easy street parking

Beautiful decor. Average food. I expected sandwiches to be in bread and not dry naan. Pineapple margarita is tasty. Falooda milkshake was good too. Murgh cholay was average taste. Drinks and food are over priced.

Food is delicious! The interior is chic. The takeout portions are large enough that I had some for lunch, dinner and lunch the following day.

This place is AMAZING. Food came out quick, fresh, and DELICIOUS. No wait time were seated comfortably, the restaurant decor was really nice. Kids loved it and want to go back. Service was great staff was Exceptional. I know my food very well and have gone and tried many places as well as I come from an ethnic background, I even cook myself. This place is highly recommended a hidden gem in NNJ. Food taste homemade and I mean like as if you flew to Pakistan for it. The staff are very friendly felt like I was invited to a family members home for dinner. Wish I could give it more then 5 stars. THANK YOU CHAI BABA FOR A WONDERFUL AND TASTFUL EVENING!!!

I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately I don’t think I would return for anything other than the chai. The food was just ok. Service was too slow. We were helped by two different servers. One of them was really nice and helpful. I think he might of been the owner.However, the second one was absolutely terrible. First he got us the wrong drink, then he forgot to bring out one of our meals (a sandwich) and his costumer service skills were just completely non-existent. We explained to him that we never had Pakistani food before and asked for some suggestions but he just said “We just have whatever is on the menu. You can look at the menu”. And then at the end, instead of leaving the check at our table and coming back for it after we were done paying, he literally stood on his tippy toes over my father’s shoulders watching him as he paid and calculated how much tip to leave. That is unacceptable.

Love the intentions, sincerity, and effort of this place. High quality ingredients. The owner and chef (Imran) asks for constructive criticism which tells me they’re seeking to always improve on a restaurant that’s been around for approximately a year. Will definitely come back, both for its brunch and dinner menus.

We ordered take out from this place. We were very happy withe taste and portion. RECOMMEND! The Dal Halva is beyond delicious! I don't have words to express how great they make this dessert. Aloo Samosa - We've eaten Samosas at various Pakistani restaurants and this place is the first to serve it authentically. By this I mean with the chickpeas! Murgh Choley are also by far the best! This is truly authentic tasting. So creamy and amazing flavor. We highly recommend trying this. The restaurant is a beautiful hidden gem!

I have been meaning to try this place out for a long time, had the opportunity to do so on Friday.It’s a beautiful family owned restaurant serving Pakistani food.Me an my brother ordered almost everything and enjoyed each and everything we ordered.The owner is super nice and attentive to his customers.Food takes time because everything is made freshly and it’s honestly worth the wait, therefore be patience. It’s worth it.Thank you to the owner. We truly had amazing time. ?
