Good but I won't say authentic. The beef chapli kababs were too dry for my taste. The naan bread was good.Loved the ambiance.

One of the worst lamb shanks I've ever had. We had ordered the mix platter and the lamb shank came with it. The lamb shank just tasted off, it had a very bad off putting taste to it. I have had a lot of lamb shanks in other restaurants and they tasted delicious. Other than the lamb shank, the chicken, quail and the other items tasted fine, just needed a bit more seasoning. And the staff was very friendly and professional.

my brother was there yesterday. food was dried and old. Manager informed chef having off day today so that's why food is not good and chef prepared yesterday due to off today. really disappointed

Shinwari offers fantastic food, incredible tea, and impeccable hospitality. A beautiful and unique restaurant, 10/10 anyone in this area should absolutely give this place a try. Could not praise them enough. Thank you Shinwari for a wonderful evening!

Excellent Pakistani road style ambience. Dinning hall is decorated with a Rickshaw, Jhoola, Pakistani bicycle and old film posters that takes you to Pakistan at a glance. CharPaai with cusions are located both inside and outside. Carpeted Takht style seating arrangement is available at the far end on the right side of the dinning hall.We liked their "Charsi Lamb Tikka" (Namkeen/Saltish lamb boti), "Khorak" (Bar-BQ Mix Platter for 4), " Charsi Chicken Karahi", Mint lemonada.Khorak (Family Platter) contains Afghani pulao with lamb shank, whole pomfret fish, beef chapli kababs, Quails, Chicken Angara,seekh kabab and lamb roast.They need provide a printed Menu. They have just online scanned menu.

Expensive.1 Karhayii, 1 chapli kabab Order, plus 4 drink orders and 4 pan, 150USD.But ambiance is very nice, people are very friendly and accommodating.In the back, you can sit on takhats..Food was very good and fresh.

I really enjoyed the food and the ambiance. The mint lemonade was the star of the day. It reminded me of Pakistan. The lamb chops were really tender and juicy. The food was a little spicy for me so I should have asked them to make it a little milder. Will definitely go back.

A nice restaurant with a heavy Pakistani cultured theme and ambiance. The food quality and taste is authentic, the menu has a wide variety, portion sizes are big, and service is efficient. There is a variety of seating options including table and chairs as well as traditional floor seating with cushions + charpaees. Advance booking on weekends would be ideal to get the desired space reserved. There are a lot of props for photos including Pakistani rickshaws, cycle and posters of retro Pakistani movies. However finding the location is tricky as google maps gets confused so you have to keep an eye out for the restaurant and get in the service lane from the nearest traffic light.

Great service yummy food ? *****
