" The highlight of my recent trip to Kansas City was definitely Sohaila's Kitchen. I had heard wonderful things about their butter chicken and samosas but experiencing it first-hand was something else entirely! The butter chicken was rich and creamy, making every bite a joy. I also adored the samosa chaat; it was so fresh and packed with vibrant flavors. The staff here were sincere and making everyone feel valued. The only downside is that parking can be a nightmarish at times, especially during peak hours. Nonetheless, their food definitely makes it worth any inconvenience. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sohaila’s Kitchen is simply one of the best places for authentic Pakistani food! I really appreciate the attention to detail that goes into every single dish. For my meal, I ordered the Chicken Curr. The harmony of flavors was outstanding! The spices were rich yet balanced, and the chicken was incredibly tender. The host was very welcoming, and the ambiance, while casual, felt inviting and friendly. I could see myself returning often as I continue to explore the extended menu items. 5 stars all the way! " (*Curated Review*)

" I popped into Sohaila's Kitchen on a whim and was pleasantly surprised! The delightful samosas with tangy chutney were just what I needed to cozy up to, while the butter chicken had a perfect blend of spices that just hit the spot. I loved the relaxed vibe; it feels like a home away from home. The only drawback perhaps is the limited seating due to the location being in a food court. But the food was well worth it! I am planning to come back next week to try their Nihari. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Sohaila's Kitchen expecting good food, and boy did they deliver! I ordered the samosa chaat and I’ve got to say, it was the best I’ve had! The perfect mix of spices, yogurt, and chutney formed an explosion on my taste buds. The service was really top-notch as well. The staff is friendly and attentive without being annoying. The atmosphere could feel a bit crowded since it’s in a marketplace, but it adds to the charm in its own way. I’m definitely going back to try their biryani and hopefully the nihari when they have it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The authenticity of the flavors here is truly remarkable. The butter chicken I ordered was unlike any I've had before—rich, creamy, and bursting with spices. It's clear that the chef brings her family recipes to life. I was also impressed with the promptness of the service despite the busy atmosphere of the food court. A hidden treasure worth discovering! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, this is my favorite spot in town for your traditional Pakistani dishes. My friends and I tried a variety of items like the biryani, samosa chaat, and chicken kebabs. Honestly, every bite felt like home; each dish was packed with flavor and lovingly prepared. The owner is such a sweetheart, always making sure I have a good time. If you're in KC, don't miss out on this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every dish I've tried here has been exceptional, both in taste and authenticity. I particularly enjoyed the chicken biryani and samosas. They had generous portions and the best flavors around. The service was friendly, creating a great vibe for dining. I'm a fan and will keep returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)
