Ghareeb Nawaz Restaurant

Firstly this place smells heavenly! Not only did we order everything we need to and more but we were well taken care of by the staff. This is a must try place. The portions and prices are beyond exceptional.

Very tasty food and in extremely reasonable price. It never hurts you buying food from there. I really recommend you to go and try, you will love it and the bill will be very less compare to other places.

I ate from here a couple of times and the food is always delicious and well prepared. It’s halal, offers a wide variety of items and worth the money. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming!

Ghareeb Nawaaz, once a childhood favourite, does not disappoint and remains consistent in their quality. I used to frequent here when I lived in this neighbourhood. Now, after moving several divisions away, I only happen here by chance.

The first time I visited, after seven years, was because I was in the area and wanted to grab a bite to eat. I bought a couple paratha rolls for my family and two biryanis, thinking six people would be able to enjoy this alongside whatever was made at home. I was sorely mistaken, as my family was quick to question the whereabouts of the "rest of it." Fortunately, I was able to stop by earlier today and order to my heart's content. The owner looked at me and, even with my myself and my mother masks adorned, instantly recognized us. The customer service is almost familial, with the owner and his son ensuring a welcoming atmosphere in their hustling-bustling Danforth restaurant.

Not everything is for everyone, and I often find myself wondering if I should rate a restaurant by it's best or worst dish. In this particular case, there is no "worst item." The parathas, while not as oily as their common desi-restaurant counterparts, deliver their fillings in the wondrously soft and pillow-y fashion. The rolling technique could stand to improve, but it is easy to ignore the haphazard rolling style. My favourite is the chicken boti paratha roll; with its harmonious balance between richness and flavour, it is easily the best dish at the restaurant (the price is student-friendly too). The boneless chicken biryani is not for the faint of heart, it packs a tangy, spicy punch, carried by perfectly cooked rice. The veal biryani had meat that was quite literally melting in my mouth. The tender, succulent meat, accompanied by a _masala_ (seasoning) that delicately balances salt with acid and fat, makes this biryani the one my family finished to the last grain of rice.

Their second-to-none paratha rolls and their dependable quality, makes Ghareeb Nawaz a must-try. They have outlasted many-a-restaurant in that strip-mall (even a Subway), and continue to do so because they do not compromise on excellence. If I had a million stars to give, I would.

Hands down best biriyani in town! Love their veal biriyani!!!! ?
