We spent two days in Galway and ended up eating here on both days because the food was simply outstanding. It brought back a sense of nostalgia with its authentic Pakistani flavors.

On our first visit, we ordered the mixed BBQ platter along with cardamom tea and Kashmiri tea..everything was delicious and absolutely worth every penny.

After a long and tiring day, we returned the next evening and ordered the lamb karahi, garlic naan, butter naan, and biryani. The karahi and biryani were both excellent and full of flavor.

This place is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Galway and looking for authentic Pakistani cuisine. Highly recommended!

I came to Ireland for a trip, but since I love biryani, I ended up having it here as well. It was delicious, not too oily, and full of flavor. The staff were also very kind and welcoming, which made me feel comfortable.

Zaiqa took me straight back to the flavours I grew up with in Dubai 🤍
Proper desi comfort food done right. The karahi was rich and full of flavour, and the grill was absolutely amazing — juicy, smoky, and spot on.

Worth every euro. If you’re craving real taste and nostalgia, this place delivers.
