★★★★★  This place has the best biryani in the d.c area hands down. Unfortunately they closed last month but the owner will still run his metro halal carts.

NR  This place is amazing. I have tried several items on menu if not all. Biryani, chapli kabob, chickpeas full roast chicken ( made on special order) and I absolutely love the taste. The owner Mr. Khalid takes personal care in preparing the food and I would give thumbs up to this place.

★★  Salaam. I never like to give a bad review, but I was totally under-impressed with La'Jawab. The staff is very nice and the restaurant is clean but the food left a lot to be desired. I decided to try the fried chicken thinking an Indo-Pak take on an American classic would be interesting - I was wrong. The spice was nice, but the chicken totally tasted like it was fried in very, very old grease. When I looked at the chicken I thought I was going to have a heart attack! I ordered to go and brought the food home, my family ate about 1/4 of the grease-soaked chicken and couldn't eat the rest....just too heavy. The rice was bland, almost unflavored and generic tasting. I probably won't go back to the restaurant.... I was willing to forgive the super greasy chicken I was served but I figure if La'Jawab can't get rice right, a staple for this type of restaurant....why bother going back?

★★★★  Chicken Karahi was very good--as were the chaat items. Pretty small inside but OK if not busy. I recommend.

★★★★★  I had tandoori chargah and lahori cholay; it tasted really good. Seating is limited. I m
Confident that their other dishes taste good as well. Maybe the first Pakistani place that gave real Lahori flavor. I recommend this to all. The owner gave me a try of their gol gapa sour water and it tasted good; not exactly like Lahore but much better than other places in USA.

★★★  The chapli kabob was moist and flavorful. The chicken tikka was also well cooked. The sides left a little to be desired and the samosas were almost frozen on the inside. A good place to go if you're in the neighborhood, but not as impressive as other restaurants.

★★★★  We just went there last night. Their Tandoori Charga is heavenly. We spoke with the owner and he confirmed that he cuts the meet himself and does so in a very clean form. The service was also very kind. The biryani is very different since it has a bone in piece of chicken instead of small pieces. Altogether very tasty food.
