" I really liked the food here but found the place a little run down. The biryani was amazing, full of rich flavors that reminded me of home! The staff were accommodating, though the wait for food can be long, especially during lunch. I think it’s worth it for the flavors if you’re not in a rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this place! The chicken tikka roll was delicious and filled with authentic spices. The owner was kind enough to give us recommendations. Although the ambiance isn’t luxurious, the food is what truly shines here. Looking forward to my next visit to try more of their offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been looking for good Pakistani food in Ann Arbor and stumbled upon this place. The parathas were warm and flaky, while the chicken briyani was rich and full of spice. Service was friendly, but it took a bit longer than expected for our food to arrive. Despite the wait, the experience was satisfying—great food and decent portions! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this place based on previous reviews, but my experience was mixed. The food is tasty, especially the chickpea curry, but I found the dining area to be a bit chaotic and disorganized. I also had an issue with the wait time as my order took longer than expected, leaving me frustrated. However, the owner apologized and offered a discount, which I appreciated. I might give it another shot, but I hope to see improvements! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Once Upon A Grill after hearing so much about it. The food did not disappoint! The butter chicken was fantastic, creamy and packed with flavor. The owner took the time to come speak with us and ensure we were enjoying our meal, which I appreciated. I would suggest ordering takeout as the atmosphere is quite casual, but that's fine with me. I'll be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Don't let the exterior fool you! Once you step inside, you're in for a treat. I ordered the shahi paneer roll and it was bursting with flavor. The owner is genuinely friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable and the portions are solid, definitely worth a visit if you're craving authentic Indian flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Once Upon A Grill truly feels like a hidden gem! I had their vegetarian platters, and everything was bursting with flavor! The owner is super friendly and made excellent recommendations. I loved the fresh naan and the flavor-packed curries. The atmosphere may seem a bit worn, but honestly, don’t let that deter you; the food is worth it! Can't wait to bring my friends next time!
