Andrew CerdaAugust 13, 2014With an order setup like chipotle, you have your choice of roll, rice or salad bowl. Various meats, veggie toppings and sauces. Very friendly service & will answer your questions on what to add/avoid.
Ashley ChristianoJuly 17, 2014Chicken tikka basmati bowl was yummy and I would def get again. The beef keema is a bit salty. Oh, and they have free water near the door, so don't buy a bottle!
Faraz HyderJanuary 11, 2015A great place to go for quick Pakistani food (Chipotle style). Personally I prefer the chicken tikka in a basmati bowl but you can also get beef keema as well as two vegetable options.
Ivie CJuly 12, 2014Delish! Had the basmati bowl with chicken tikka, chick peas, chillies and the delicious spicy red garlic sauce. Very yummy and their spiciest was very spicey and exactly what I wanted.
Umair ZiaAugust 19, 2015Flippin' everything. Tikka rice bowl. Get it with the green chutney. Or 2 paratha rolls. Also chutney. With mango lassi. I've been here too often in the past few months.
Christine DaCruzJanuary 16, 2015$10 will get you a paratha roll with your choice of filling and a mango lassi. Perfect bite when you're on the go.
Lisa FinnAugust 18, 2014It's the Chipotle of Desi food (but better). Try the Basmati bowl, and if you like spice- top it with the Green Chili Chutney!
dipti p.August 13, 2014worth trying the aloo and paneer paratha rolls. the green chillies add great heat and the chutneys are so flavorful!
Nitin SharmaAugust 23, 2014I loved the chipotle setup for desi food! The food was good too. I dare you to try the red chili sauce.
Dustin LeeMarch 20, 2015If you're normally afraid of getting chicken at chipotle and chipotle-style places because it's dry, don't worry here. It's nice and tender
Sara 🌈⚔🍾October 25, 2014It's like Chipotle, but Pakistani. The chicken tikka basmati bowl with the cucumber raita- so good!!
etta yMay 5, 2015Quick, good and no fuss. Had the chicken tikka paratha, small by American lunch standards but probably just the right amount of food.
Jessie MiñoAugust 6, 2014Amazing samosas and the chicken bowl is great. Get the cucumber sauce for a refreshing spin
Perri SilverJune 24, 2014It's like Indian/Pakistani chipotle. So good! They're not messing around with the spice. When they say hot they mean hot.
Brooke BJuly 22, 2014Chicken tikka roll with samosas on the side dipped in spicy coconut is the best ever.
Brandi MJanuary 22, 2015Samosas are tiny but delicious. Almost like they concentrated an entire giant samosa into two bites.
Rachel RApril 26, 2015Samosas are great, sometimes they offer tasting menu samples outside the store.
Basmati bowl - half chicken half beef is the way to go.
Steven MontasAugust 31, 2014Pretty good, definitely chipotle meets Pakistani food. I only wish they weren't cheap with the meat.
