Zayeqa

This restaurant is a literal mom and pop hole-in-the-wall authentic Pakistani restaurant and it’s amazing! We’ve come here several times and usually it’s when our family is visiting from out of state. Every time without fail, our guests love the food from here. Our go to’s: Aloo Samosas Chicken 65 Chicken Biryani Beef Nihari Zayeqa BBQ platter Halwa Puri platter The food is amazing here and full of flavor. Everything tastes fresh, the naan is great. It’s not overly spicy like some places that just kill a dish by making it intolerably spicy. You can’t expect much from service since it’s a self-service restaurant, however, if you ask the owner for anything, he’s always helpful. It’s very obvious that this restaurant focuses solely on perfecting their food with their disposable to go boxes that they serve the food in. I personally don’t care about a restaurants ambience if the food is that good. I did notice in all the times we’ve dined in, a lot of people come in for take out orders. If you love authentic Pakistani food and don’t care about service or ambience, definitely give this place a try.

The food is really really good! The beef bihari kabab is top notch, so as the chicken bihari kabab. We ordered one beef bihari kabab, one kabab platter, and vegetable samosas. They have complementary naans with the dishes. If your are from Bangladesh and familiar with shik kabab, the beef bihari kabab is close in taste with that (though bihari kabab is a smashed version of the Bangladeshi shik kabab). Also the other kababs were really flavorful. Samosa and tandoori chicken was okay, but rest items were very tasty. I recommend this place to every kabab lover. The owners were also really nice!

I heard about this place a month ago when though exist over 10 years. It’s like a hidden gem. Super fun food if you are looking for authentic Pakistani dish with inexpensive menu. Especially the weekends Halua Purée and Nehari. To my opinion food is ok but not extra ordinary. I found lack of flavors in Nehari and no aroma in Chana. Otherwise it’s different carry out to explore. Haluwa is tasty. The packaging could be improved. It looks like bunch of small packets in one plastic bag. Also multiple orders they put in one wrap or zip log bag. Location is amazing and easy parking. I’ll try other items on next visit.

The achari chicken with naan was delicious. It wasn’t spicy and it had that good achar taste. 10/10 would recommend. Service is on point as well. Hidden gem.

Excellent Pakistani flavour, as close to a home cooked meal away from home as perhaps possible. We had the chicken karahi and the chicken biryani and both dishes were delicious, with soft and fluffy fresh nans. It’s a low-key, family owned small business with terrific food!
