This will be my go to restaurant from now on. Delicious food and most importantly great customer service. We were not happy with samosas they took it back didn’t charge us. They gave us free chai, white rice and yogurt for my toddler. They packed our leftover. They went above and beyond!

The chicken Tikka masala here was excellent. Chicken was not dry but juicy. Zero atmosphere for dine in, but it looked like a large portion of their business is take out. I knew what I had bargained for when I sought this place out. Service was good but a tad slow again I think because people dont dine in. Overall this is my new local Tikka masala takeout fix

Nestled in a charming corner, Nikis Halal Grill & Karahi completely surpassed my dining expectations. As soon as I stepped foot into this intimate eatery, I knew I had stumbled upon a hidden treasure. This family-owned restaurant offers an inviting atmosphere and serves up the most delightful and authentic homestyle halal cuisine. I ate Nehari and Naan and both were really good. As in California, pricing is also affordable.

The world famous Karachi chicken was delicious, full of spices and flavors as well as hot chili peppers. It was served in a wok itself directly from the fire. Chicken curry was different from the watered down curry served elsewhere. This is a real homemade curry with different types of spices in different amounts. Garlic naan was fresh. Gave generous portions of rice for one order. Daal was probably my favorite because it was unlike most other places where daal is usually not fresh and dull. The daal here has a kick, and it is addictive. I just couldnt stop eating it. Chai was chai, and mango lassi was mango lassi. In other words, nothing unusually better or worse but they tasted like they should. The cashier girl was friendly enough. The prices were reasonable enough. The place was clean enough, too. Not fancy, but good enough for a hole in the wall. I would like to try more stuff here, so Ill be back.

Ordered 3 main dishes. Got message that 2 were not available. They then self substituted for tasteless Channa (we did not ask substitution) which we had to throw out. The one main dish from our order they did deliver was very spicy despite instructions for it to be mild. So, a $80 delivered order all went to thrash.

Came for the world famous Peshawari Chicken Karachi. The prep time is about a hour but worth the wait. This is the worlds best. Loved this will return. This is enough for 8 to 10 people.

This is my fav Indian place in so cal. The smaller menu is a turn off for some, but it helps ensure that meals are cooked fresh everytime. Always worth ordering kabobs because they come out incredible. The lamb was tender and full of flavor and spice. For dining in, the seating has improving from the past. But the food is worth the price.

Food is excellent, very flavorful with good sized portions. The staff is excellent as well, very kind and curtious. The atmosphere is very simple, no frills and nothing more than the necessary, comparable to a small town diner.
