When I went to this restaurant, I thought I was going to a regular, "sit-down" restaurant, but this is more like a take-out restaurant with about 10 booths. They have large pans of food already prepared, as well as food that may be ordered off a paper menu. I ordered a vegetable samosa, which was good. It tasted like it was frozen and heated up in the microwave. It was served with a small green salad and pale green sauce. I also ordered from the prepared food: chicken tikka masala and chicken meat balls. It comes with rice but I requested no rice, so the waiter brought me another small green salad. It was good. I felt that the chicken meatballs, which were served in a brown sauce was very tasty. I did not like the chicken tikka. The chicken was mixed, both white and dark meat. The sauce was very tomatoey, more like marina sauce than masala sauce. The chicken was not grilled; it was stewed. I ordered onion kulcha and garlic nan. The bread was delicious. I would go back for the bread and salad. I was too full to eat dessert but I would go back to try the desserts. The restaurant is more Pakistani, rather than Indian. The wait staff and the men working behind the counter were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is very clean. I saw they have some typical Pakistani dishes, like kabobs with rice and on pita bread. I would go back and try those specials. Prices were very inexpensive.

The quality of food is bad and the service is extremely horrible. The guys who take order are disoriented. Most of the time they forget one or two items. I found it very interesting that the every time I asked them if my item is ready they will tell me just 1 more minute. That 1 minutes maybe 1 - 30 minutes long. They do not have organization or planning to be a successful business. Their food is usually is stale and and sweets are old, mostly a week. The ingredients include cheapest oil. They think its okay for customer to wait for 15 minutes to get any thing. They might have some potential in cooking but it is sad to see it going down the drain. I would not go back again there.

I live up the block from this place. Ive never had Pakistani/indian food prior. My Pakistani friend used to bring me kebob rolls from BK and i missed them when he moved. I gave this place a try . Maaannnn... the rolls were identical if not better. Fresh naan, fresh kebobs and the mint sauce added that extra touch . I read someone thought the samosas were frozen prior, well youre wrong. They dont always have them which means theyre made on certain days , FYI also really good. Only giving a 4 not 5 because sometimes you do have to wait longer than expected for your food but then again yoi have the option to call ahead. I recommend this place if you love kebob rolls.

The ownership recently changed, and with it the food quality has gone down the drain. The new workers/owners look tired, and without desire. Literally, not a single thing is good here. Worst nihari Ive ever had. Its microwaved, and the meat was just lumps of fat, from an old bhens (buffalo) rather than a cow (tender meat). They probably used their own masala, i could taste the powder or ataa in the salan and overall it tasted like gosth ka salan rather than a nihari. Didnt have the consistency, taste, color or the smell of nihari. It was that bad. Even worst, their naans and roti were terrible as well. Gulab Jamuns looked stale and a week old.

It breaks my heart to give this place one star. We used to come here all the time. I recommended this place to all my friends and family. I never forget the time when the owner served us Kashmiri Pink Chai, I have never tasted anything like it since. Unfortunately the day to day manager destroyed that restaurant. He purposely treats customers like garbage and makes you hate coming to the restaurant. We tried speaking to the owner, and so have others . Until that manager is gone, I refuse to eat there. I dont care how good the food is.

It is pretty hard to find a great restaurant that serves Pakistani food. Most of the restaurants dont follow authentic recipes. I was pretty skeptical about Dawat E Khaas at the beginning. But I was surprised and amazed by the quality of the food in Dawat E Khaas. It tastes fantastically awesome! I had the feeling that the food got brought straight from Pakistan. The portions are very generous and the prices are very decent. I loved it!

Reasonable food. If you have nothing cooked at home, you can either stop by or pick up. I generally go here for Naan and Kebab. They display the food available and microwave what you order. Burgers are horrible and I didnt like the Methai (Desert) either.

First of all the food is good,but it takes forever them to serve. Even though if you oder through the phone they say will be ready in 15 min but it tooks an hour to get ready.workers have so much attitude. I would rather go somewhere else than go here.

We bought qeema naan from them and almost all of them were burnt!! There was hardly any minced chicken inside the naan. They over charged and did not even provide necessary condiments with the food. Worst experience ever, my Sunday breakfast was ruined!

Food was okay but they made me wait an hour for my food and at the end they even got my order wrong. And they justified it by saying some of the food on the menu have two names so I ended up paying for food I didnt even order. Never again.

Good Pakistani food. I love the cachori because this is the only place I found that sells it.not a lot of variety of items but it is getting better. They have a function hall thats is great for small gathering of about 50 to 60 people.

Its a good place for true Pakistani, Indian food. So far its the only Pakistani restaurant within 20miles radius of Valley Stream,NY where you can take your family. Food taste is excellent. Halwa Puri breakfast what I like the most.

Not vegetarian. The place is small, and I had to request they use the convection oven instead of the microwave, but the food was very good and the customer service was excellent.

Food was inexpensive but the guy behind the counter serving me was extremely rude and blunt. Food wasnt the best. Not worth it. Found hair in my food. Never again.
