I ordered the chicken biriyani, and it only had three pieces of meat and no flavor. Then I had chicken tikka, which was hard and super dry. I could not eat, and I had to throw out my food. This was a waste of money. - Lucky Begum

## What is Worth Choosing

Based on the menu's strengths and customer acclaim, several dishes stand out as being worth choosing when visiting Pakiza Restaurant:

For the Savory Main Course: Go for the Karahi Chicken or the Haleem. The Karahi is a classic preparation of tender chicken pieces cooked in a rich sauce with tomatoes and fresh spices, offering an authentic, full-bodied flavor. The Haleem, often available as a Weekend Special, is a beloved, slow-cooked stew of meat, lentils, and wheat—a deep, complex, and incredibly satisfying dish.

For a Quick, Flavorful Meal: The Chicken Biryani is a highly popular and affordable choice. It features fragrant Basmati rice and chicken cooked with herbs and spices, making for a fulfilling and quick plate of food. Alternatively, a Kabab Roll Sandwich provides an easy, handheld option for on-the-go dining.

For Breakfast or Brunch: The Halwa Puree Breakfast is essential. This is a quintessential Pakistani experience, blending the savory elements of chickpeas with the light sweetness of the semolina pudding and the fluffy texture of the Puri bread. It is a hearty, culturally significant start to your day.

For a Drink and Dessert: Do not leave without trying the Special Kashmiri Chai, a comforting, creamy pink tea that is a customer favorite. Pair it with one of the delectable desserts, such as the Rasmalai (fresh homemade cheese in sweetened cream sauce) or the syrup-soaked Jalebi, to complete your authentic South Asian feast.
