“ This is a really great Pakistani spot tucked away in a truck stop. Once you navigate through the truck lot and enter, the ambiance is surprisingly nice with decorations and plenty of tables and booths. The service was great and the server explained what was available and highlighted some favorites. We ordered several dishes including butter chicken, chana masala, mutton biryani, naan, and a refreshing glass of mango lassi. We loved it all, but especially enjoyed the chana masala and butter chicken. Buffet is offered on the weekends, so we'll definitely be going back for that. Very happy with the experience and food at this place! ”
“ They have the best Indian/pakistani food among all the twin city south restaurants that I've tried. I think the difference is that they make limited dishes each day and don't have 20-30+ dishes like other restaurants. Therefore you can only order what they have made for the day which differs from each day except for few dishes like biriyani. They have traditional south Asian dishes like butter chicken as well some Pakistani dishes like Nihari etc. Every dish I've had has been outstanding. If you are looking for some authentic south Asian dishes this would be the place compared to most Indian restaurants in twin cities. It's inside a truck stop and would be better to call ahead to make sure they have the dishes you want. Great place and give it a try if you like Indian/Pakistani food ”
“ This place is tucked away in a truck stop and if you blink could land on the other side of the building where there is an American cuisine restaurant but that closes at 1pm. The place was not hard to find with plenty of parking available (it is of-course in a truck stop). Would not recommend sitting outside as the smell of the nearby plants on the Mississippi do not make it a pleasurable experience. Inside was actually fairly nice, clean with ample seating space and the customer service was good also. Went there on a Friday afternoon and saw on the counter the piling of take out orders. Looks like the sit down business booms with the weekend buffet only. I was really excited to try the food. Got the chicken biryani and it looked amazing with very generous portion size. But when it came down to the taste, it was unfortunately mid at best. There was hardly any chicken in there and had lots of potatoes, both of which are a turnoff for me in a biryani and hence docking a star. The guys at the counter recommended the weekend buffet so will give that a try and update the review accordingly. ”
