“ Nestled in a quiet corner of the Herndon neighborhood, there's a small Pakistani restaurant that feels more like visiting a friend's home than dining out. As you step through the door, the aroma of freshly grilled meats and warm spices welcomes you like a comforting hug. The servers take the time to chat and ensure you're enjoying every bite. This restaurant is more than just a place to eat--it's a gathering spot where connections are made and memories are created, one delicious meal at a time. Very yummy Karahi!! ”

“ Yelp. Are you seriously telling me I haven't reviewed this place yet? How is that possible??? I've been going here for over 20 years. Ok, let's do this. Clearly this place HAS to be pretty good if I've been coming back for 20 years. But then, why am I only giving it four stars? Well, because you can find a better version of almost anything on the menu somewhere else. But that's not to say that the stuff here is bad - it's just not the best. Yeah, ok I've been told I have unrealistic expectations. BUT. There's one thing you'll find here that's better than anything you'll find anywhere else. The Samosa platter (aka Samosa Chaat). It. Is. The. Bomb. If you know me, you know how much of a struggle it was to type "bomb" there. But this is a PG review, so... If you like a wet chaat (which I do), then this is YOUR chaat. I have yet to find a better samosa chaat anywhere in the area. That said, there is one important thing about the samosa chaat here that you need to know: DO NOT EAT ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE YOU EAT THE CHAAT. We did that once. Never again. It has to be eaten first or it loses the potency. I don't know why, I don't know how, but I've come to accept this as fact. Ok, enough about the chaat - what about everything else? Usually I end up with one of two things: either the buffet or the Shalimar kebab platter. Let's take them each in turn. The buffet always satisfies. Predominately because it usually involves either lamb or goat or both. Hard to go wrong with those meats. If that's your jam, then you'll dig this buffet. Once in a while they also have haleem, which is excellent. I'm not sure I've ever regretted the buffet. Other times I'll pick up the Shalimar kebab platter. An assortment of kebabs that I usually share with 2 other people. With the samosa chaat appetizer (you thought I was done with talking about that, didn't you.... shows what you know) it makes for a great complete meal. While this platter is GOOD, it defines why this place gets four stars. It's just good. The lamb could be more tender, the chicken could be more flavorful or juicy ... it is what is. It's good. Perhaps the most devastating thing about this place though is that SOMETIMES you show up, dreams of samosa chaat in your mind, and ... they don't have samosas. Dagger! How can this be?! Like a knife in the heart, you order an entree and regret coming. And yet, often enough, it delivers. And so for 20+ years ... I've been coming back. ”

“ This place is under new management!! Best Pakistani restaurant I've been to in a long time, they actually offer an amazing buffet, but I always go for the Karahi, always fresh made always perfect. Mango lassi is delicious, and you can come with your whole Family. You really can't go wrong with anything you order. I will be making my way here over and over. ”
