Went yesterday second time just for Nihari but unfortunately they were not offering sit down ala carte menu and forced us to get on the Buffett band wagon. Since we were there and decided to give it a try.
Disappointed that there were very few choices and the food was not warm enough. $35 per person for a substandard cold Buffett is totally unjustified.
There are plenty of other choices in the area.
The restaurant had no ambience of a family vibe, food was cold and not cooked well, and when we got there, the waiter told us that there’s a buffet. the buffet idea didn’t bother us, but they had no quality in the food. we were hoping the food was heated under each tray. we ended up spending about 150 for a table of four, which is expensive considering the lack of preparation on the food. the staff was very kind, though, i must say.
A wonderful dining experience! Great atmosphere, great food! While the buffet is so much fun, today we did dinner. Some our favorites from today’s visit were:
The Bun Kabob as an appetizer
Mutton koona
Shaddiwala Chicken Qorma
Beef Nihari
(The Plain Naans were Delicious 😋)
(Wish I had taken pictures, but the food was so appetizing that we just dug in 😆)
Be sure to get the Mango Lassi. It’s a family favorite! I highly recommend the Mint Mojito.
To finish this outstanding meal, be sure to try their Meeta Paan. The paan is fresh, while the filling is sweet and well balanced.

We’ve visited Burns Road on Route 27 in Franklin Park a couple of times, and both visits brought back a little taste and nostalgia of Karachi. 🇵🇰❤️
The restaurant is spacious and welcoming, and I especially loved the wall displays featuring some of Pakistan’s memorable personalities. The décor and atmosphere give the restaurant its own character and, as a Karachiite, made me feel a little closer to home.
And of course, the food is what really takes you back! We tried the Karachi-style chicken biryani, nihari, goat karahi, chicken karahi, bun kabab, and club sandwiches. Everything was flavorful, delicious, and thoroughly enjoyed by my family.
My only little Karachiite wish for the bun kabab would be plenty of that traditional flowy hari mint chutney and lachha piyaz! 😊 That combination would make the Karachi street-food nostalgia absolutely complete.
The owner was courteous and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive during both visits.
Great food, warm hospitality, lovely ambience, and a little reminder of Karachi right here in New Jersey. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️🇵🇰

We were there with my family of five and we got attracted by the buffet, decided to try it for lunch.
Food was decent, service was friendly and courteous. The space is nice and large. Location is great.
Reason it’s still getting 3 stars is because when you pay $30/ person at a buffet you expect for it to be decently stocked. Puri although was fresh but was far and few. Nuggets had to be requested for twice. Chicken biryani was now at a point of missing chicken.
I hope this is growing pains and they figure out how to keep the dishes full on major meal times on a weekend.
Will not be going for a buffet again. À la carte ? Perhaps
