" I put off trying Al-Wahid for too long. Just had their biryani and I can't believe I waited! It's packed with flavor and the meat is tender. I went in for to-go and the staff were super polite even though it was busy. It'll definitely be my go-to for Pakistani cuisine from now on. Can't recommend it enough if you're looking for something delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a frequent visitor to Pakistani restaurants, I can say Al-Wahid Tandoor Express offers some of the best goat karahi I've tasted! The portions are satisfying and the flavors are authentic. The only downside was that the place felt a bit cramped, which made dining in less enjoyable. However, for takeout, it’s fantastic! Definitely recommend trying their haleem for a hearty meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, I had some of the best nihari I've had outside of home! The spices were perfect and the meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender. The atmosphere was busy and a little chaotic, typical of a beloved local spot, but it adds to the charm. The staff were helpful, and I appreciated their quick service. Natural flavors and authentic taste, I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Al-Wahid! Every dish I've tried has been excellent. The tandoori chicken is flavorful, and the dahi baras are a great side to go with any main dish. They also offer fair prices, which is a huge plus. The atmosphere can be busy and slightly chaotic, but it only adds to the authenticity of the experience. Always my favorite spot to order from! " (*Curated Review*)

" Easily the best Pakistani grocery store/restaurant in the area! The goat bhuna makes me feel nostalgic for home-cooked meals. It's small, but the food is phenomenal. Perfect for takeout after a long day. I highly recommend trying their daal; it's perfectly spiced and comforting. Can't beat the prices either! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Al-Wahid last week and ordered the butter chicken and garlic naan. The food was decent but not outstanding. The portions were good and filling, but I had hoped for more spice and depth of flavor in the curry. It was nice and clean inside, but my service experience could have been better—staff seemed overwhelmed despite the low number of customers present at the time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn't know what to expect, but Al-Wahid exceeded my expectations! The bun kabab was delicious, packed with tender meat and bursting with flavor. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. I will definitely be coming back to try their other specialties. It's a nice blend of a grocery store and a food spot with a warm, communal vibe. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)
