Customer Reviews

"We went to Khan Karahi & Grill for the first time and it was the best! Noticing that Khan Karahi & Grill and Chicken Zinger Express were connected, we ordered Chicken Biryani from Khan Karahi & Grill and Chicken Gyro over rice with salad from Chicken Zinger Express. The food came in within 10 minutes, and it was very delicious. The rice and chicken in the Chicken Biryani were so flavorful and it was infused with many rich spices. The rice was fluffy and light the chicken was very tender. The Chicken Gyro over rice with salad combination with white sauce was very very delicious. Sikander is a respectful and kind man who served us and made sure our experience was perfect. After our dessert, Sikander kindly served us with this dessert named Gulab Jamun, and this was the best way to end off our meal. A very simple dessert full of a sweet flavor that hits the sweet spot after a delicious dinner. Thank you to all the staff that enhanced our experience, 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone!"
