NR Wow it's one of the best restaurant have seen in my life .. What a nice people very good costumer service .my favorite chapeli,chicken Bihari kabab,meat karai,and excellent Naan. :) Posted on April 28, 2015

★★☆☆☆ Service is good but food quality is below average and not fresh . Posted on April 20, 2015

★★★☆☆ I stopped by for take out food a few days ago. The service is horrendous and downright unfriendly. I imagined what it would feel like for a beggar asking for a handout. When I entered, I must have waited around 10 minutes at the unattended cash register before a man came to me, stared me in the face and asked "Yes?". I assumed that was his way of asking what I wanted so I gave him my order. The food was ready within about 10 minutes and he checked me out without another word being spoken except that he told me how much I had to pay. The food was good but I will not return to this unfriendly place. Posted on October 28, 2014

★★★★★ The Food here is amazing and staff is extremely friendly. Never got bad service here before. I came for the sunday breakfast and it is to die for! Their gyro is really good too. Posted on September 21, 2014

★★★★★ Excellent Desi Food all the credit Goes to the team Posted on September 13, 2014

★★★★★ Very good place to eat. Staff is very nice! I love the food and the omg the desert is amazing! Nirala restaurant is the place to go! :D Posted on September 12, 2014

★☆☆☆☆ THE WORST EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE...very very very dirty....the place i so bad that food was all over the floor and staff is walking over it...i ordered food and asked for my money back...horible...loooks like a hole in the wall Posted on September 9, 2014

★★★☆☆ Very courteous staff. The buffet was not bad. Ordered a BBQ item which was very good. Posted on August 23, 2014

★★★★★ I love the food here. Best BBQ in south Florida. I go there everyday ever since it opened. Really good mithai fresh made everyday. Owner is really nice and friendly always there to take my concerns and fix them. Nihari is the best!!! I recommend it!! Posted on June 7, 2014

★★☆☆☆ worst experience ever. I went there for first time on the weekend. it was very bad. the staff brought the food out so unprofessional. He was literally touching my food with his hand as he was putting it on the table. Then I saw him clean the forks with his tshirt or apron. Very dirty We walked out and he had the nerve to come out screaming that we had to pay for food that we never ate... Posted on December 3, 2013

★★★★★ One of the best halwa poori nashta I had in a while. Posted on October 12, 2013

★★★☆☆ [No review submitted] Posted on August 23, 2013

★★☆☆☆ Not clean and expensive. Ordered biryani and found a fly. Will not go again and the owner is not very polite. Posted on July 20, 2013

★★★★★ Good briyani rice, and naan with curry is awesome. Posted on December 18, 2011

★★★★☆ Fully halal. Biriyani (chicken) is good but needs more chicken. I always get it mild, because they make it super spicy if not. Also, I only do take out as it needs some updating inside. Posted on May 12, 2011

★☆☆☆☆ place is a mess and food no good, nihari is horrible. plus expensive. not going there agin when i visit south florida Posted on January 3, 2011

★★☆☆☆ The nihari is good. Place is dirty, workers are not well dressed. They wear the kind of tired-looking clothes that workers at Waffle House or IHOP would wear. Place is a dive but they guarantee halaal food. Strictly emergency food when no one feels like cooking. Posted on November 6, 2010

★☆☆☆☆ Horrible food- not fresh.Ordered a cheeseburger it came out literally 2 min. and 55 sec. after I ordered it. Here is the best part : It was a sunday they "specialize in Halwa puri, inside my halwa was one of those Gereman cockroaches!!! Do not eat here i! PLease save yourself. I got home and went on the health inspection websit-nirala has been written up and fined so many times because of their uncleanliness -I dont know how they r still open for business!!! Posted on June 28, 2010

★☆☆☆☆ Very dirty.... Its not worth trying at all. Someone I knew decided to have a baby shower there once, and the smoke alarm went off because there was smoke everywhere and the owner told us all to sit inside. There were two pregnant ladies so we just all got up and walked out. Personally not the greatest of fans. Posted on April 19, 2010

★★☆☆☆ I was visiting from Chicago and went to the place because of the reviews here.Lets start with the ambiance. Dimly lit, unhygenic, the place does not seem like a place to sit down and eat. I went there for the Mithai and the samosas(as they were the 2 things consistently rated high by the reviewers). The person on the counter didnt know anything about the sweets. after sampling most of the selections, I have to say that I didnt find any item that was even average. I am not comparing it with the Mithai from Pakistan or India, but from Chicago, Milwaukee, Louisville and the likes and it does not meet standards. We also had the Vege Samosas and they were below average too. I don't think I will be trying the food there! Posted on March 16, 2010

★★★☆☆ kind of on the expensive side, but the samosa's and sweets are good, i didn't really like the chicken but there was something i really liked, i think it's called something boti, it was like thin pieces of lamb or goat that was grilled or something, it was really good, there were some burned pieces but other than that i really liked it Posted on June 22, 2009

★★★★☆ The food is very good here, but here's some warnings. The service is good, but if your not Pakistani or Indian you'll feel a little out of place because most of the clientele is Pakistani or Indian. Next, the food is on the greasy side. Don't expect to keep your calorie count low here. Lastly, try Pakola if they have it. Its a really good ice cream soda that's imported from Pakistan/India. There aren't refills though, just as a warning. lastly....do spend some money on the sweets, if nothing else. They're really good. If really unhealthy. Posted on January 13, 2009

★★★★★ SAMOSA'S ARE THE BEST!! they are freshly made. I take at least a dozen home. Posted on December 26, 2008

★★★★★ Love it! Great Nihari and I love the Chicken 65. Service is good. There is one rude waitress but the rest of the staff is very nice and accomodating. Posted on December 1, 2008

★★★★★ nihari is excellent and so is BBQ..service is good and food came fast.. prices are reasonable as well.. resturant was clean..owner was ther to address any customer concerns..i liked it and will go ther again Posted on June 7, 2008

★★★★☆ A little messy establishment and rude owner but there mithai is real good. Posted on July 9, 2007

★★★☆☆ i travel a lot. When ever i am in miami, i make it a point to come here. i love their nihari. Other dishes are good. They do need to improve more on their cleaning skills. also the owner, when late, will kick out customers stating that they should have come on time. people, like me, go to resturants because they are there on work and dont have a home there. Posted on May 29, 2007

★★★★★ three wOrds;LOVE THE FOOD!!!!!!!U CAN NEVER GO WRONG BY COMING HERE FOR LUNCH OR DINNER BECAUSE THE FOOD IS PERFECT!!!THEIR NIHARI IS EXCELLENT AND SO IS THEIR NAAN!!!!THE MITHAI IS VERY GOOD!!THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS VERY NICE!!THE OWNER IS A LITTLE CHEAP THOUGH,ALWAYS ASKING FOR A TIP AND SOMETIMES SHOWS OFF,BUT HES A NICE GUY. ITS A CLEAN PLACE AND HAS A TV TO KEEP U ENTERTAINED WHILE THE FOOD IS GETTING READY.I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE WHO WANTS A DELICIOUS MEAL!!! Posted on March 24, 2007

★☆☆☆☆ 40 health violations! Do I need to say more? Posted on March 11, 2007

★★☆☆☆ very expensive not worth it Posted on June 25, 2006

★★★★☆ Great Place to eat! LOve their nihari. Posted on May 6, 2006

★☆☆☆☆ expensive and the food isnt tasty at all. the samosa's are the only thing that taste good. They used to have meat samosa and that was better than the veggie one also. Posted on March 28, 2006

NR i went there and the mithai's were ok but the food wasnt. i reccomend the samosa's there the only thing tasty Posted on December 24, 2005

★★★★☆ Food was very good specially Lunch Buffet. If you are planning for dinner you have to be very patient. Part of the reason is that all BBQ are cooked on the spot and it takes time. Naan was excellent, Nothing like fresh naan coming out of an oven. Posted on November 9, 2005

★★★☆☆ The sweets are nice, the food is a hit or miss for sure. Sometimes it is pretty good, othertimes it is the opposite (I am only talking regarding the buffet though). Samosas are the best. Posted on May 14, 2005

★★★★★ Very friendly service from owner! Waitresses are all American and not too familiar with foods so you must have a little bit of patience and be somewhat specific about your order. Also, you should ask what the menu is for that day cuz they rarely have all of the foods which are advertised on the menu. Foods are quite good though and not too pricey. Somasas are their claim to fame though so be sure to try with the tomato chutney. And don't forget your box of the absolute best Methai around before you leave. Posted on April 6, 2005

★★★★☆ Sweet is great, food gave me gastritus. Posted on December 17, 2004

★★★★☆ It's actually called 'Nirala Sweet House'...I love their samosay. they serve halwa puri on Sundays which is very good...it is mostly cholay and puri actually. My parents like to go here b/c of the food and the fat guy who speaks Punjabi Posted on December 9, 2004

★★★☆☆ The sweets are to die for, the food is hit or miss. When it is fresh, it's great! The samosa are fantastic! Posted on August 6, 2004

★★★☆☆ OK. here is the bottom line. The Desi Methai is really good. Service is slow and bad. Place is not clean. And the BIG Punjabi guy at the counter has a HUGE attitute and BIG ego. Posted on August 5, 2004

★★★★★ Friendly service, and great food. Especially when biryani is just made. The samosas... 2 words.. DE-LICIOUS!!! You can't go wrong with any of the dishes!!! A+ Posted on October 15, 2003

★★☆☆☆ I went to this restaurant and it had poor service and was very dirty Posted on April 25, 2003

★★★★★ great sweets, situated at the corner of oakland park blvd and pine island Posted on March 28, 2003

★★★★★ Halwa Puri is served both Saturdays and Sundays. The food is pretty decent, this place has excellent sweets and desserts, definitely worth trying. I tried the food over the weekend, and loved it. Posted on January 15, 2003

★★★★★ It is basically a sweat meat shop owned by a Pakistani but also keeps a wide variety of Pakistani food such as Nihari, Paya, Biryani etc. Also serves Halwa Puri on Sundays. Posted on October 8, 2001
