A must visit restaurant for the Desi food lovers! We ordered Charsi Mutton kadhai, Chicken Baloochi tikka kadhai along with laccha paratha, aloo paratha, Roghni kulcha. The foods were finger-licking yummy!! The kadhais were very tasty, full of spices with perfect blend, texture & flavor. Also tried out the Sindhi biriyani. The chicken in the biriyani was well marinated with enough flavors, but the biriyani was a bit dry for me.We also tasted their gulab jamoon, it was so warm, soft & juicy! Their mango lassi & mint mojito were out of the world, too good!!! Lastly, we tried their Zafrani chai & Doodh patti chai too. Those were absolutely worth of all the hypes.Overall Chai Chenak is a great place for yummmmmilicious meal & hanging out with friends! The interiors are mesmerizing as well. Anyway, crossing 1 star for their service. They charge 18% for service but the staff service wasn’t enough good. May be the guy who served us was having a bad day!!Update:We had an incredible Iftar at Chai Chenak this year, and it was truly delightful. It cost us approx 38$ each including tax + 18% service charge. The menu offered an array of some awesome items such as pakoras, fries, samosas, nuggets, chicken biryani, beef haleem, mutton curry, chicken karahi, chicken malai kabab, butter chicken, and more. Among these, the standout dishes for me were the chicken charsi karahi and the pakoras, both of which were exceptionally flavorful. For dessert enthusiasts like myself, the selection was a bit limited, with only fruit salad and gulab jamun available. However, the quality of gulab jamoon was so good. The beverages, including chai and juices, complemented the meal perfectly.The Ramadan decor added a special touch to the ambiance, creating a festive and welcoming atmosphere. The service was also commendable this time, with friendly and attentive staff ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Overall, our Iftar experience at Chai Chenak was truly amazing. So, giving the 1 ⭐️ back this time! 😂
