This place is very gorgeous and the vibes are spot on. I will say the food portions are very small for what you're paying for, and very average. The chai is great and comes in cute little servings. The staff and service was fast.

My family and I often come here! We go to many Pakistani/desi places and this is definitely one of the best! The food, service, and vibe is always so amazing. The authentic Pakistani decor really sets the tone for an upbeat and enthusiastic vibe. The kababs and naan are delicious. Staff is always friendly and very hospitable.

The service is outstanding. The food is out of this world. I was visiting and decided to come with my family. So nice inside, the kabobs and paratha is amazing.10/10 service the people were so welcoming!!! Coming back again!

IMO- Food was ok… I don’t think they make fresh food … very ordinary pre cooked food… however the chai (tea) was great…. Thus Resturant name chai Chenak :)
Sufi Kingdom
Upbeat ambiance and super enthusiastic service staff. They are courteous and friendly, they are ready to answer questions and have a chat with you. From escorting staff to server, everyone was so interested and happy with their job. We ordered Balochi chicken karahi, it was enough portion for two, karahi was way too sweet for our palate, but everything else took over a slight taste disappointments. Am I coming back here, absolutely!! This restaurant can get loud and full on weekends and special occasions, be mindful if you don’t like noise around you. The guy who took our order, his name is Umair, was super friendly and hardworking. Keep up the great work with your employees, the guy who brought our order was so respectful (I wish I knew his name, but definitely next time)

There are signs for an hour table limit. The food does come out quickly though so that’s good. Not sure if the time starts when the food comes or when you sit down.

18% tip added to bills of 3 people or more

Gol Gappa came on a cute tray with 8 pieces. The balls did not get soggy too quickly while putting in the liquid which was nice

Samosa Chaat was really good. The sauce was nice to dip the naan into afterward too

Chicken Sindhi Biryani was a good portion to share with two people. The chicken was kind of dry

Charsi Karhai Mutton was saltyyy. The mutton itself was good. Broke easily. Flavorful. The sauce was really salty so when it was on my naan or rice I added some of the cool sauce that came with the biryani or the chaat sauce

Garlic Naan came out soft, fluffy, buttery, and very hot. Sooo goood

Mango Lassi came out watery which made me afraid but the flavor was there so I actually didn’t mind it the texture was watery

Sindhi briyani was good, personally I don't like big pieces in Briyani. Naan and paaratha was soft and mutton balochi Tikka karhai was juicy.. Umair helped us to understand the food for ordering. Recommended to try it out. As it's downtown, parallel Parking is one to take care of.

Simply the best authentic Pakistani food around, at an affordable price and with outstanding ambience. This is the place to go if you’re looking for both quality meat and food with very high standards. I definitely recommend this location for special occasions like Eid or even a random night out.
