Worst service ive ever received. The owner is extremely rude for no reason. There's a reason this place has terrible reviews. Would never ever return to this place.

Best burger in USA without a doubt. Menu is limited but everything is worth trying. Very professionally run restaurant, kind of modern style bench seating. Food is awesome! Pakistani style

BK Jani is a completely halal Pakistani restaurant serving Pakistani BBQ-style cuisine. The restaurant is styled like an outdoor barbecue restaurant in Pakistani, with benches and no utensils anywhere (you are given satchets of wet wipes to clean your hands and are expected to eat with your hands). The ambiance is festive. Parking is available on the street and it wasn\'t too difficult to find. Regardless, you should leave the 2010 Lotus Exige in Solar Yellow at home. This author tried the BK Jani Burger ($15), which is made Pakistani-style, that is with plenty of spices, and topped with a green chutney. Perhaps this is the best halal hamburger in NYC, despite the number of hamburgers justifiably fighting for that accolade. Rumor is that the lamb chops are sublime, though this author has not tried them. Strictly avoid the Mixed Grill Veggies ($11), as these are pretty much unseasoned grilled vegetables that would be an embarrassment on any menu and yet at a bizarrely expensive price. This restaurant is a bit overhyped and the lack of utensils pretentious and unnecessary. However, the food is pretty decent and it\'s certainly worth trying the unique BK Jani Burger. Hopefully some Pakistani restaurants will start to assert themselves and start selling similar hamburgers.

Simple words will not do justice when it comes to describing how delicious the food is at BK Jani. The BK Jani Burger is the best burger in the tri-state. They will perfectly prepare it to your taste. The drinks are creative and flavorful. Excellent interior which gives you that typical hipster feel.

We drove down from Boston to have the BK Jani chops and Jani burgers, and boy was the drive worth it! Juicy, tender chops, followed by perfectly prepared #halal burgers...what a treat! Loved the decor and all the vibes of the restaurant as well. Service was friendly and fast. A must visit for any foodie!
