I tried this place for the first time a few weeks ago and the food was great and priced fairly. I decided to place a larger order for a small family get together and unfortunately all guests got sick shortly after consuming the food.Complaints from the group;Biryani was StaleNihari was StaleBihari beef kabob were overly saltyBbq items seemed stale.I was really excited to introduce this restaurant to my social circle but the quality of food failed that attempt. Not to mention the $$ lost

The food here is insanely good!I've tried the Goat Stew, Tandoori Chicken, & Lamb Stew, and they are all amazing. But, I always return now for the Goat Biryani, a Garlic Naan, and a Mango Lassi! That combination will slap whatever else you're eating right out of your hand.

Been to this restaurant twice. Their food has authenticity of Pakistani food. Nihari and Halwa Puri are my favorite. I like the concept of ordering through Kiosk and they bring the food too you. It’s a self service and love their Chai tea.

My experience at Lahori Restaurant has been up and down. There are some items that I get whenever I'm there, such as, cholay and fish curry. I'll be honest, it's very good but at times there have been instances where it wasn't prepared the same way, i.e., the sauce is watered down and doesn't have the flavor compared to when it's prepared the right way.I dined there twice. Everybody can take the order and prepare your food because that's their business. I noticed the first time we spent over a $100 dollars. We had some leftover food which had sauces and naan. When I asked for a to go box, they give me container that snaps to close and doesn't make a good seal. Didn't ask do you want anything else, like a brown bag for the naan. I let it go.Dined in and went there a second time. Asked if they had tea. They said they're making it. It seems like they didn't care and probably just ignored it because they never made it. When we're done eating, again had some curry leftover and asked for a to go box. They did the same thing by giving me this flimsy snap on box. I said this is no good, please give me the one that has the lid that snaps shut. And sure enough, as I am driving my wife said the curry is spilling and stained her clothes.My complaint may sound trivial to some, but really why are they being so cheap. Why can't you give me the same to go containers you use to seal the take out orders. Second, I think their customer service is very poor. The people are not friendly at all.I hope they improve their service.

Chai tea is free for the customers. They have amazing lamb curry and BIG naan. Delicious and hot. And remember to try their rice pudding (kheer) in the dessert menu. It is so delightfulFor the fried rice dish, it is huge.

This place has never been consistent in taste or quality. They will serve you cold half cooked barbecue and not even be apologetic. Worst service and worst food. Don’t waste your money and this is not in Any way Lahore quality food

We were the first customers this morning. The place was clean and quiet. The owner/manager gave us special attention, suggested good dishes and brought them steaming hot within minutes. The food was plenty and it was delicious. The Chef knows his job very well. Tea was fresh and excellent. This restaurant still gives tea for free. The manager brought us an extra dish "on the house". We are planning to visit this restaurant again in a week.

Goat Biryani and Goat curry.Great food.

Halwa was horrible, daal was horrible, meat in biryani smelled and was undercooked, and they even managed to suck at something as basic as chai. They add food coloring and the worst blend of spices. Not Lahori food at all. I ordered from them 3 times and they were consistent in poor quality of dishes every simgle time. Will not order from here again. The closest I have been to authentic Pakistani/Lahori food in the bay area is at Zareen's.

Delicious ? Food feeling of Lahore Lahore aye.?
