The meat is always cooked perfectly, and the dishes are full of flavor and expertly prepared. We highly recommend dining at this establishment!

I came shortly after the high noon lunch rush, luckily having the restaurant to myself. I had light, engaging conversation with theowners, Rani and her husband as my lunch was prepared. They are from Lahore. They were surpised I knew where they're from inPakistan and how famous Lahore is for their biriyanis. I usually order food from them through Grubhub. I decided to go in toexperience the ambience. I was not disappointed. Loved the heavy wood from the tables to the chairs and the bar area. All myfood was freshly made to order. The only constructive feedback I have is my mango lemonade was underwhelming. It tasted of drinkmix. I think some fresh elements could have been introduced like lemons, mangoes or homemade lemonade. I would love toexperience their same passion for food to carry through to their beverage offerings. Overall, I will return and bring friends.

I ordered a malai kofta, a dish typically rich with dry fruits and a sauce garnished with cream and coriander. What I received was likely pre-made/frozen balls with unknown ingredients, lacking the desired dry fruits or stuffed paneer. It was unappetizing and not worth eating, let alone photographing. The ambiance is decent for Bothell, but I would not recommend dining there for the food quality.

Vegetable biriyani had white rice with some sauce on it. We left behind everything we ordered.
