"What a pleasant evening I had here! The place is run by a family from Pakistan so of course they had the most delicious biryani I've found in and around the area. The staff was super kind and kept checking on us and even made us nimbu pani (fresh lime juice) even if it wasn't on the menu. In fact I've never been treated with so much hospitality in any restaurant in Italy, it really reminded me of home. We ordered lamb biryani, sheekh kebab, kheema and naan, two drinks and two kadak chais and the bill was about 26€ which is beyond affordable and more than fair. It's sad that there weren't many people on a Friday night because they deserve so much more! Their restaurant is meant to look like a dhaaba (a pit stop restaurant in India for truck drivers) and they truly captured the ambience. They have seating outdoors, in a basement and indoors as well. Unfortunately I barely took any pictures because I was so hungry. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try authentic Pakistani/North Indian cuisine. Thank you for the wonderful evening and service!"
