" I love this place for its spicy and tasty food. The pakka chicken is my go-to dish, bursting with flavors! The service is casual but friendly. However, it can get busy, so I recommend calling ahead for takeout. I appreciate the quality ingredients they use and the fact that they serve halal food—a huge plus for people like me. Definitely a mini restaurant gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was eager to try Al-Wahid after hearing good things, but I can't say I was too impressed. The chicken tikka was dry, and the service was sluggish. The grocery part of the store is nice and well-stocked, which I appreciated, but I wouldn't rush back for the food unfortunately. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Al-Wahid after hearing rave reviews, but my experience was mixed. While the food gave a nice nod to authentic flavors, cleanliness was a concern, particularly in the dining area. The service was cordial but slow, and it took longer than expected to get our meals. It was unfortunate as I wanted to love this place as much as everyone else seems to. Will give it another chance down the line. " (*Curated Review*)

" Al-Wahid Tandoor Express is a hidden gem! The qorma is delicious and truly tastes homemade. The grocery selection is also a bonus, allowing me to grab ingredients for my own meals. They have a friendly staff too! I've brought my friends here, and they loved it just as much as I did. With affordable prices and great portions, I'm already looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Al-Wahid Tandoor Express has quickly become my go-to for Pakistani food! I ordered the nihari and it was rich and delicious. While the seating could use some improvement, the food is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend their samosas as well—perfectly crispy and flavorful. Prices are reasonable, making it a great spot for a casual meal. " (*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*)
