Lal Hut

Naan is the attraction. We ordered chicken biryani (large) that tasted like pulav. Kadhai chicken (medium) lacks taste. Kabab (2pc) was ok. Lassi is thick and nice. All that cost us around $50.

Ordered Chicken Karachi, Mutton Karahi, two kinds of chapli kebabs along with their naans for a house dinner event. Guests enjoyed food so I’m pleased to say the long drive was well worth the visit!

EDIT: NOTE: The First few Pictures (Green Chairs) are from "Bombay Paratha" which nearby in Monat Plaza (Desi Galaxy complex). The last five are from "Lal Hut". This is a Google Photos Mistake.

Ordered a $ 9.99 small 'Goat Biryani' and asked gentleman at counter I will pay for some extra Goat. He said why not get the $ 14.99 medium, which I declined because of it would be too much quantity for my need for that day. When I got home, it turned out to be a pulao with exactly 1 good 'Goat piece' and the rest of it were bones - which went to garbage. If in this area, I would recommend 'Shalimar' or 'Desi Galaxy' - they are generous with their offerings and you will surely get VALUE for what you pay. Very disappointed.

EDIT (from 08/03 visit): I wanted to give Lal Hut a second try, because I had a guilt that I had written a harsh (and possibly unfair) review. I spoke to Hassan, the young manager and expressed my grief over the incident mentioned above. Not only did he listen to me, but also offered a free replacement (which I did not take). He explained cooks/chefs too are humans and subject to mistakes. I agreed (I too have my bad days) and ordered the same Goat Pulao. I am changing my review from one star to five star, because this time, they took care of me and the offering was excellent in taste and value. I also got a chance to speak to Musharraf, owners brother and requested they have a brighter light outside/someone to ensure no one is hurt while crossing the road, especially during their busy nights - Fri - Sun (I live on the same street and have seen people park and cross without regard - not the store's fault. Once again, thank you Lal Hut and management for doing the right thing. My best wishes to much success to your restaurant.

Wow. This place is incredible. I've tried so many restaurants in Iselin and have to say hands down this is the best tasting authentic Pakistani food around. I ordered several dishes and not one was anything but exceptional. They even gave me a free dessert for placing such a large order. This place is off the beaten path but worth looking for. Has a small seating area as well and looks very clean. The staff was also friendly and the owner even thanked me for stopping by. This is now my new favorite spot and will be coming here regularly. My favorite dish was the Chicken Karahi but they're all so good.

A free salad was provided which was delicious. The peshawari garlic naan was also delicious. The regular naans were good too . They were light and crispy. The goat karahi was good too. The goat karahi could have been a bit more cooked to give a deeper flavor but nonetheless it was tasty. The kashmiri chai was very bitter and I did not enjoy it. The restaurant offered another cup to replace that one but the second one was bitter too. The service was very good. The place itself is a small room but what I loved most about this place is that unlike most desi restaurants, they were considerate enough to not have disposable cutlery and plates.

Everything is made to order and fresh, I love Charsi Chicken Karahi, it's off the hook. Kashmiri chai is good when you're waiting for your food to be served or take away. Average wait time is around 30 minutes.

Had heard a lot of good things about the place, but was disappointed. The food was just ok, but the service was unbelievably bad. We had ordered the food over the phone and then got to the place after 30 mins, but it still took another 45 minutes for the food to get to us. The excuse was that there were a lot of take away orders, but still how could you have people who ordered-in wait in the restaurant. Anyways, don't think I am going back there again.
