This place is amazing! Im almost afraid to praise it because its tiny and Id hate to see it overwhelmed. Parents cook in the kitchen and its the best palak paneer Ive ever had - I have no idea what she puts in it but it has a depth of flavor Ive never tasted before. Great minced chicken in curry sauce, chicken curry, the list goes on. This is authentic cooking just like the devotion to the old ways demonstrated in the movie 100 Foot Journey. Pakistani food, not Indian food, and the differences may be subtle to us from the West but you can taste the history and the love of these family recipes in every bite. A treat!

Authentic beautifully seasoned food. There is parking in the back. Small place whose frot door faces PCH but dont let that put you off. You would have to go to Little India in Cerritos to get this level of quality and deliciousness. I love walking in and smelling the warm spices cooking in the kitchen. I would be vegetarian if I could eat their vegetarian dishes every day. I could snack on their samosas in place of a meal! Expand your dining experience and try everything!

My favourite restaurant in Torrance for food from the Indian/Pakistan subcontinent. I usually order the Lamb Pulao on Fridays. It comes with a giant hunk of tender lamb shank on a bed of fragrant rice. Two people can share easily. On other days I order the Beef Nehari with their fantastic soft Naan. For appetisers I recommend the chicken tikka BBQ kebab. My drink of choice is the Salt (savoury) Lassi. Highly recommended!

Tried this hole in the wall restaurant with my coworkers for lunch. Small place but not bad. Service was good and food had good flavors. The naan bread was so fresh and something Id go back for. Unfortunately the spices were a little much for me and a few others. Im guessing maybe because we arent used to eating this type of food? I would go back and maybe ask you something less spicy..

The food was good and reasonably priced. Unfortunately while I celebrated my mothers birthday with my wife and son, an extremely rude group of people told us in a rude manner to be quiet. I dont know if theyre regulars there or not but the management allowed them to act out rudely to us. So we just paid the bill and left. Dont think well be back because of that. But the food was good.

Good food. Delicious. Oven bread ( Naan ), Daal, Nehari were delicious. Qeema ( ground beef ) could have been less oily. Its not a fancy place. Friendly staff. Restaurant was busy and we were 15 guys so the service was a bit slow and a little lack of waiter service followup. But over all good experience. Wil go there again

My brother wanted me to order food from this place to go. Having passed by it several times, I was very hesitant, but he insisted and Im glad I ordered from here. The staff is friendly and all the food that we got was great. Yes, the place is small , it may fit 10 people and not in the best location, but the food is great

Love the food here. If you are looking for great tasting Indian food, this place is it. The place is on the smaller side so we usually do take out. The chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala, and their naan rolls are favorites. And hands does, they have the best naan in all of Southbay.

I had the Naan Chicken Tikka Roll and it was DELICIOUS wow I am definitely coming back to try everything else on the menu. Its a small hole in the wall and might feel cramped when you walk in but its really comfortable once you are seated. Service was great, workers are friendly.

The spices they use are perfectly blended in the food to create excellent and flavorful dishes. The Palak Paneer is wonderful and both the Chicken Tikka and the Chicken Tikka Masala have just the right amount of spiciness.

Amazing food. Ive always gone past this restaurant and when I finally got a chance to stop by I was not disappointed. They have a variety of food and they lived up to my expectations. Especially with their curry.

Amazing food, ambience is not appealing.one of the best food I have had in past 8yrs. I ordered lamb biryani and chicken Tikka boti.. both are cooked to perfection. For a Hyderabadi this is kirak! ..

Always try the zinger burger with their special spicy sauce! This place is small and great if you are in a rush. Biryani and Nihari are great!!! Samosas are the bomb here! Always fresh and warm!

The place is honestly a hole in the wall but the food is amazing so it gets 4 stars from me. Probably the best Indian food Ive hard. The chicken 55 or something was really good and the naan.

I am a regular there, even though I am a vegetarian. Great food, friendly people. Their lunch deals on weekdays is probably the best deal in town

Everything is good but they take way to long and still give you food that you can tell is old. But when the food is fresh I cant complain.
