Food is below average. Service is nothing to talk about. The owner is totally disrespectful. This place is owned by Punjabis so Halal authenticity is questionable. Verbal Halal authentication is not sufficient. Prices are high. The owner emphasizes and cares more about the Banquetts hall next door and really not concerned about the restaurant. Not a very good customer service.

Would not return

We LOVE their food - they have a great mixed grill and chinese is spectacular. It's the best desi food in the burbs. Hands down.

This place is owned my Sikhs, so you should ask their interpretation of the word Halal. If you get your food catered from here then you have to tell them use he Muslim meat shop otherwise it is up to them for where they shop.
