HAMZA has changed its name to NAFEES. Still the same owner and a newer menu with the famous Tawa Grill You got to try it. AMAZING. Probably the most authentic Pakistani food we have tried. We have now been several times with many family groups and as a small family. Dining experience is as you would expect, simple. A large hall divided by a temporary partition for families and ladies only. We have had birthday parties and other special events and the management are so very helpful in organising and arranging these even during their normal restaurant hours. The menu caters for every taste from simple burgers to specially ordered dishes that can take quite some time to prepare to perfection. (Suggest you order these in advance to save time). Everything is cooked to order so try not to rush your dining experience. Popular dishes to try are the Tawa Fish and more recently Tawa Keema. My favourites. Check out their Facebook page for customer reviews and photos. The service can be a little slow at times especially if you need to order additional sundries such as Naan during your meal. It does get particularly busy from about 7:00pm to 9:00pm. So be prepared. If you do not finish your food then you can always take the rest home. The is an ice cream section serving about a dozen different flavours but to be honest we have never made it to the desserts. Unfortunately, we have never order takeout as we live a little too far for the restaurant to deliver.
Very nice tawa, great flavours and came out piping hot. Naan was super soft and crunchy fries. Great eatery. Also take card payment.
Visited the place first time with the family and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent with all the staff being very friendly and attentive. This is also a great trait that I have noticed in my local Nafees on Alum Rock Rd. We ordered the tawa for 4 and all the food items were very nice with the grilled food being especially nice. I recommend that you give this place ago yourself.
Visited Nafees on a Friday evening — easy parking right outside and a warm welcome on arrival. The décor felt a little dull and could use a touch of warmth, but hey, we came for the food — and wow, it delivered! The seekh kebabs were an absolute 10/10, bursting with authentic meaty flavour, while the lamb chops could’ve used just a little more spice. The real stars were the lamb karahi and chicken curry — some of the best I’ve ever had, rich, perfectly textured, and full of genuine flavour. Service, however, was disappointing — constant reminders were needed for items ordered well in advance. Overall: Fantastic food that truly stands out. With stronger management and better staff coordination, this place could easily become one of the top curry houses around!
I went here on Friday with friends and as per usual, it did not disappoint. We have been here a few times and the food has always been excellent. Me and one friend had the tawa for 2, swapping out the lamb karahi for the king prawn at an added price (was well worth it!). The service, food and atmosphere was brilliant as always. Please keep up the high quality.
Had a good experience at Nafee’s Restaurant. The customer service was friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Food was served quickly, nicely presented, and tasted decent. There’s a wide variety of dishes on the menu, and prices are reasonable for what you get. The restaurant has plenty of seating, suitable for both small and large groups, and it’s clearly family friendly. Overall, a comfortable and welcoming place to dine, worth a try.
