I’m really disappointed with my experience today. I usually go to this restaurant between 7–9 PM because I actually like their combo pack, which is why I keep coming back. However, today both items were spoiled. The beef had a very bad smell and tasted off; it honestly made me feel like I was about to vomit after one bite. The fried potatoes were also spoiled. This is not the first time I’ve had this issue. I’ve noticed multiple times that the beef is not fresh and has a bad odor, which makes me concerned about how the food is handled and cleaned. However, after today’s experience, this is really unacceptable. Food safety should be taken seriously.

I’ve visited Al Aqsa Kitchen three times, and each time has been a great experience. The chicken dish was perfectly fried on the outside and remained juicy on the inside. The sauce was the highlight—slightly sweet with a nice kick of spice and a rich garlic flavor that blended really well. Each piece was evenly coated, so every bite had a consistent taste. The added green onions and chili flakes gave it a nice crunch and extra flavor, making the dish feel well balanced. The samosas on the side were also crispy and light, a nice complement to the meal. The biryani was also very tasty—well-cooked rice with great flavor and nicely seasoned chicken, making it a satisfying option on its own. Overall, everything was flavorful and consistently good across all my visits. Definitely a place I would come back to again.

I ordered 4 fresh paratha with other dishes and they gave me cold, hard and overburned three days old paratha. I came home opened the foil and was so disappointed. I called multiple times and the line is purposely on busy mode not going through. After paying $50 takeout and not being able to eat peacefully is unacceptable. WHY IS THE FOOD QUALITY GOING DOWN? Can owner take a look at why this is happening.

Great little hole in the wall spot. Food is delicious even though it’s all mostly made in batches. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Restaurant can get very busy in surges. Ive had a bunch of different things there and it’s all been good. Favorites so far are Ruhi fish curry and a special young goat biryani. Recommend
