The food is quite good and the prices reasonable. There are dishes featuring goat, chicken and various vegetables. I especially recommend visiting during Ramadan for their Iftar buffet. Seating is family style at long tables. Other diners were friendly. read less

The chicken burger is best I've ever had. The meat curry and and their spinach is another must try! We wish they had market like this in every state! read less

Signs posted showing cost of entree, rice, one side and pita is $9. This time I did my research from yelp reviews and had a list of 4 things in rank order. I was only buying two meals but just in case what I wanted wasn't available. Yelpers love the burgers and I can see why, uncooked patties were thick and looked great.  If I lived here I would have tried it.  But this was going to Columbus. On my list was goat curry (or lamb curry).  Chille chicken ( or the tandoori).  Side of creamed spinach for both and one regular pita and one fired pita. Huge portion sizes.  We go out of our way and brave the crazy Pittsburgh streets to come here, this last time waiting 4 hours for them to open when we really had to return to Columbus.  Yes it is that good.  Free parking. Watch the hours Friday.  They close for prayers.  I LOVE THIS PLACE read less

They have a small parking lot next to the market. If you're going for lunch I would suggest going before noon or else there is a huge line. The portions are big enough for 2-3 meals and the staff is super friendly. But most importantly, the food tastes good! I ordered rice, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, naan, a veggie samosa and a bottle of water and it came out to $14. The samosa was the best that I ever had and I went home with enough left overs to last me at least a second meal. read less

We got the chicken tikka masala combo with a side of spinach. Both were so freaking delicious and they give you SO MUCH FOOD! Like they're literally packing the container with rice and just drenching it in sauce and I loved every moment and bite of it.
We each got a chicken and a beef samosa which are heated up fresh and are packed with meat. Even better than the samosa is the white sauce that they give you. There's like a hint of garlic to it and it's just phenomenal.
The photos don't look to appetizing but this place is definitely worth it, I swear. It's a must if you're looking for a casual dining option in the strip. read less

I have been coming here since I was seven and ever since they expanded and opened the grill, they have always provided me with quality food. An absolute must is the halal bacon cheeseburger and the chicken shawarma with the chipotle mayo sauce. The hot food bar is also good if the grill is closed and they have really great spinach and chicken options. read less

Fresh, hot food! The service was quick, smooth and friendly. Clean and cool environment. We had the chicken tiki masala, the lamb chops and the lamb kabobs. Everything was so tender and flavorful. There was also a supermarket attached to the restaurant where you can purchase anything from seasonings to snacks to raw produce. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes Halal food! read less
