AI Summary

A St Kilda Pakistani and Punjabi institution known for karahi, biryani and kebabs, with inconsistent service.

A busy, no-music dining room on Fitzroy St that reviewers describe as peaceful on quiet nights and bustling on occasions like Eid, with a mixed but generally warm ambiance.

A large shareable-platter format built for groups, a no-music policy some reviewers value for a calmer, family-friendly setting, and a menu spanning Pakistani, Punjabi and Indian dishes.

Strong authenticity signals, with multiple reviewers, including several trying Pakistani or Punjabi cuisine for the first time, describing the flavours as genuinely authentic and comparable to home cooking.

Split opinion. Some reviewers call individual dishes and platters overpriced for the portion, while others say the $23.99 veg thali and flavour of the curries justify the cost.

Summary drafted with AI from public reviews.
