    I recently ordered the Special Nehari Thalli, and unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. The Nalli was entirely missing from the dish, which was a letdown. Additionally, the taste of the Nehari was below average. It seemed like the chef tried to mask the lack of flavor with an overwhelming amount of spices, especially chili, which made the dish much spicier than enjoyable. Overall, not a great experience

    "If you're looking for the best nihari, this spot delivers! The tender meat melts in mouth, and the rich, flavorful gravy is simply unmatched. Paired with soft, warm naan, it's a perfect combination. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic, delicious nihari!" Above all nihari Served in a authentic Style on fire . Highly impressed with excellent service by Reshma and Arsh. Also ordered, Chicken seekh kabab,dhagha kabab and chicken tikka.All these bbq items are delicious but need some improvement.

    One of the best places for Nihari. Food was super good, chicken seekh kabab was good too. I like the small stove that keeps Nihari hot until you finish it. Service given by Prabhjot is super quick. Loved the way she welcomed us and served the food quickly.

    The best nihari in Ridgeway. Love the way of serving with hot burner so the nihari remain hot while eating. The real authentic karachi taste.

    Got 2 orders of sada nihari and it was around $33 something. Visually the nihari looked exactly like how it is in Pakistan. Spice level was on the higher side imo, the green chillis mixed into the nihari definitely made it worse. It would be better to include the green chilli on the side along with the toppings that were given with the order so you can choose to increase the spice level if you wanted.

    Best place in GTA for a Nihari dineout. Delicious Nihari served on top of a timed stove which keeps it warm while you eat. Along with hot Naan, it just tastes great. Lassi is also excellent. Compared to other nearby places, Nihari is more affordable & better quantity. We will return to try Nihari & other naashta menu items.

    As a huge Nihari connoisseur, I personally always get disappointed eating Nihari outside but this one was top notch. Their nalli nihari was enough for 2.5ppl, it was perfectly balanced, the beef was tender and soft which is what you want in an ideal Nihari and the gravy was the perfect consistency. Their naan was also bang on. Will definitely be coming back!
