We love Indian food so when we found this spot and tried their food it was so good, so whenever we are in the area we stop by for some good Butter chicken and naan roll Really good food and dessert, (we tried pistachio cake)
The food was delicious, and spiced exactly to desired heat level. The samosas are definitely worth trying. Everyone in the restaurant received on our visit received the highest level of customer service. Restaurant and bathrooms were super clean. Highly recommended
Absolute gem! If you looking for authentic Pakistani cuisine in all USA well drop into this place. What really amazed us was Nighat Appi’s (Chef and owner) hospitality! She prepares food herself and its finger licking good. We went all the way from Charlotte NC and it was worth every bit of it. Kudos to you Nighat appi.
Awesome food. Made our trip to Asheville more memorable. Balanced spices and perfectly made baryani, chicken tikka and nihari. Both the cheese naan and plain naan were too good. Do not forget to try the red sauce if you want to make the food more spicy! Do not miss to visit this place whenever you are in Asheville or passing by.
Had Chicken Dum Biryani. The serving was pretty good for 2 people. As someone from Pakistan, I can assure you that this place is legit. All authentic Pakistani dishes are served here. The Biryani was delicious. Didn't expect that in this part of NC. The food is Zabiha Halal.
Food is excellent! Someone left a review complaining that the food was too flavorful! (People are strange.) Some people gave it lower ratings for the staff not wearing masks or the decor. The decor is nothing fancy but as you may expect. It's fine. The workers are very friendly. The main dishes are enough for two people, but having leftovers is even better! I love this place.
The food was so delicious. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The chef personally came out to see how we liked the meal. The rice pudding dessert was absolutely amazing.
