Good customer services staff is super friendly. Food quality is great. Recommend it just finding a parking spot is little difficult in weekend specially.
Excellent food and service. I was very impressed by their ala cater menu. The decor is minimal. I would recommend their Nihari, BBQ chicken, Bihari kebab - all were excellent
I came to Ali's Nihari on a cold winter day with some friends in search of something to warm me up from the inside and it did not disappoint. One of my friends is Pakistani and was able to recommend various dishes for our group to try. For the appetizer, we ordered the beef samosas. While the outside was nice crispy, I did think the meat inside was a bit dry and crumbly, not my favorite texture. Next came the Ali's Nihari which was just perfect. The sauce has a very rich, comforting flavor full of spice and the beef is extremely tender. I especially enjoyed dipping some paratha and naan in the sauce. The chicken biryani is a gigantic portion, which I can only imagine being shared. The rice was fragrant and chicken was well-seasoned. Finally, we also got a chana masala, mostly for health. It was lighter in flavor compared to the other dishes but still solid. Service throughout the meal was average and I thought the prices were quite reasonable, especially since the portion sizes were large. Next time, I'll come back just for the Ali's Nihari. Food: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5 Price: 4.25/5 Ambiance: 4.25/5 Overall: 4/5
Stop by here for lunch yesterday because I was craving Nahari. The service was impeccable and polite. The portions were big I got the Nihari and nali nihari! Loved both!
I loved the biryani and nihari, the restaurant was well lit and setting was awesome. The servers were kind. Would definitely recommend it.
