Ummm, I came there last night wth my in laws starving and ready for some delicious Halal authentic indo-pak/chinese cuisine, which Im quite familiar with btw. The server girls were nice I guess, but one of them talked too much.The actual food took like a half an hour and wasnt worth the wait at all. Me and my husband ordered the samosa chaat as an appetizer and its literally ONE samosa cut n half on top of some nasty cold chickpeas with raw onions and cilantro, which I couldnt even taste. I mean, understand that I wasnt aware of what was ordering in terms of the chaat, but ONE samosa?!?! Are you serious?! BTW,the samsosas taste store bought with the crispy crust instead of the delicious soft crust for the samosa heads out there. The naan is aight,not the best, plus it hardened too fast. I tasted everyones food which ranged from all different parts of the menu and just about everything was straight up nasty. I noticed they obviously dont use salt in anything for one, and not to mention my dish was very bitter and like, inedible. And just about everyones dish (all savory) were either bland,bitter, and/or sugary sweet, no actual flavor. I was so ready go home. The food was MEDIOCRE/DISGUSTING. I dont know who they had cooking the food back there but they have no skills apparently. My advice is to go get a mango lassi, which,unfortunately, was the only tasty/non-nasty thing on the table......even though its like $4 which is hella-expensive for one yogurt drink, theyre usually like $2.50 everywhere else Ive been to.... And then had down to the taco-bell down the street. In all honesty, its better than the food here. Never again.

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. My friends and I went there for the lunch buffet and while their food was okay, their customer service was absolutely disgusting. We placed an order for kabobs as soon as we walked in knowing it would take time for it to come out. After 15 mins of waiting we asked for the kabobs and the waiter said it would be out in 2 mins. After waiting for another 10 minutes, we asked the waiter again who repeated that it would be out in 5 minutes. After waiting for 5 more minutes, we decided to cancel the order because we had already finished eating the buffet food and the kabobs were still not out. The owner came out with such rude attitude and started yelling at us and started saying that kabobs took a long time and how this is our fault and also how we could not cancel our order. He stated that kabobs take 20 minutes to come out. We got there at 2:05 and the kabobs came out around 2:45, thats not 20 minutes. It was completely shocking to us to see the owner react in such disrespectful way. Instead of yelling at his waiter for giving us wrong information about the wait time, he totally insulted us by asking if we had never been to an indian restaurant. This place has no respect for their customers what so ever. If they dont know how to treat their customers right, they should just SHUT DOWN their place.

My brother took my mom to this restaurant for Mothers Day. After taking couple bites from their buffet, they realized the food did not taste good (some of the food had a rotten taste to it). After leaving the restaurant, my brother started throwing up, and my mom had diarrhea. I have been running on a Sunday night trying to find a open pharmacy for medication. I called the restaurant to informed the owner. He said, "Sweetie, I get a lot of calls like this. Unless you can get me a lab report from the doctor saying that they got sick from my food, I dont want to hear anything." I said, "Excuse me, I am not your sweetie. And you have no professionalism nor acknowledgement of what Im saying." He told me to "shut up", cursed at me, and then hung up on me! This is the worst customer service and restaurant in my opinion. The fact that he gets a lot of calls complaining their food made them sick- is ALARMING. I am disgusted by their customer service and ownership!

I love Noorani Kabab as a lunch spot! I have been coming here since they opened, and I have never been disappointed. On a couple of occasions, the chef got a little over-zealous with the spices. The service for the most part has been above board. Most of the servers are responsive and attentive (sometimes overly so!), and never impolite. One server in the entire time I’ve been going here seemed disinterested, but I have not seen her in a while. The managers always greet me, ask how things are, and ask for suggestions. I cant ask for more than that. I am not an expert in Indian and Pakistani cuisine, but for me, this is a really good place in a convenient location that serves a buffet that changes daily- one can safely explore the tastes of the subcontinent here! I will continue to come here and consider it one of my go-to lunch spots. Noorani Kabab a very good value!

The kababs were good but the service? I am sitting here angry at my server because we ordered pani puri and EVERYONE knows that the stuffing is potato based. Well, our pani puri comes out with just some salted chick peas in it. Even if I didnt know whats supposed to be in them, their menu clearly describes that it contains potatoes, chick peas and spices. When I confronted the server, he acted puzzled. I told him it was in the menu. So he goes back to the kitchen and returns with some sliced boiled potatoes on a plate!!!!!! Oh my god I am so angry. Just bc I am not Indian and dont look Indian doesnt mean so try to present sub-standard food. I only wish I could upload a picture of this mess along with my review for everyone to see. Based on principle alone, I will not be returning.

best ever, have already been 3 x in 1.5 weeks, then twice in 1 week and we will have our company meeting catered by them because my co-workers tried it and loved it. we all voted unanimously for their catering service..the brown chutney is the best, the naan is fresh and warm from the oven...the channa chat, tandoori chicken, butter chicken, and garlic chicken are hard to choose between..taking the fam for dinner on mothers day...i keep their paper menu in my purse..the service is warm, friendly and excellent with no hovering...and the ambience is wonderful..simple, tasteful..not too bright and not too dark. cant wait for tomorrow..reading the menu now

I have eaten there several times but the last three times were a disaster when I ate with my family, the food was nowhere what it used to be. My last visit the food was extra greasy and not spiced right. The naan came raw from the sides, I complained and send those back they brought the naans again but with the same results. I told the owner that the food was terrible and it was of no use, he just ignored my complaints. I had a good review earlier for this place which I have pulled out. I will never spend my money at this place again.

I went to noorani for a take out dinner. My order was biryani, Bihari Kabab and aloo tikki chat. The chat was like a desert and biryani had a sweetish flavour to it. The Kabab was awesome. I would have loved biryani if the balance of the spices were right. And felt the rice was undercooked in the biryani. Edit 1: Updating from 3 star to 5 stars because of the buffet. Amazing selection of items and everything so delicious. Its rare to find indo Chinese on buffet, had an amazing meal. Will surely come back.
