A mix of Middle Eastern and Pakistani, the owner is from Pakistan. I&#8217;ve only gone once, and tried three dishes, still I feel it is worthy of an immediate report. The best chicken Haleem around, by far. Superb Biryani rice, maybe also the best in the area. And the hummus was a knockout, made from actual fresh beans soaked overnight. The proprietor is also very friendly and knowledgeable. They offer yet more Pakistani dishes through their catering service, let&#8217;s hope they make it to the main menu as well, I wonder if you can access them by calling ahead?
