    With an order setup like chipotle, you have your choice of roll, rice or salad bowl. Various meats, veggie toppings and sauces. Very friendly service & will answer your questions on what to add/avoid.

    Chicken tikka basmati bowl was yummy and I would def get again. The beef keema is a bit salty. Oh, and they have free water near the door, so don't buy a bottle!

    A great place to go for quick Pakistani food (Chipotle style). Personally I prefer the chicken tikka in a basmati bowl but you can also get beef keema as well as two vegetable options.

    Delish! Had the basmati bowl with chicken tikka, chick peas, chillies and the delicious spicy red garlic sauce. Very yummy and their spiciest was very spicey and exactly what I wanted.

    Flippin' everything. Tikka rice bowl. Get it with the green chutney. Or 2 paratha rolls. Also chutney. With mango lassi. I've been here too often in the past few months.

    $10 will get you a paratha roll with your choice of filling and a mango lassi. Perfect bite when you're on the go.

    If you're normally afraid of getting chicken at chipotle and chipotle-style places because it's dry, don't worry here. It's nice and tender

    It's the Chipotle of Desi food (but better). Try the Basmati bowl, and if you like spice- top it with the Green Chili Chutney!

    worth trying the aloo and paneer paratha rolls. the green chillies add great heat and the chutneys are so flavorful!

    I loved the chipotle setup for desi food! The food was good too. I dare you to try the red chili sauce.

    It's like Chipotle, but Pakistani. The chicken tikka basmati bowl with the cucumber raita- so good!!

    Amazing samosas and the chicken bowl is great. Get the cucumber sauce for a refreshing spin

    Quick, good and no fuss. Had the chicken tikka paratha, small by American lunch standards but probably just the right amount of food.

    It's like Indian/Pakistani chipotle. So good! They're not messing around with the spice. When they say hot they mean hot.

    Chicken tikka roll with samosas on the side dipped in spicy coconut is the best ever.

    Samosas are tiny but delicious. Almost like they concentrated an entire giant samosa into two bites.

    If you're hungry, get two rolls. Don't forget to get a rewards card!

    Don't forget to throw in an amazing (though tiny) saag/paneer samosa

    Samosas are great, sometimes they offer tasting menu samples outside the store.

    Been here 5+ times
    Basmati bowl - half chicken half beef is the way to go.

    Pretty good, definitely chipotle meets Pakistani food. I only wish they weren't cheap with the meat.

    One paratha roll is the perfect size for a snack.

    Just like Dos Toros but Pakistani/Indian. Not amazing but worth a try.
