“I really loved the garlic nan”
We ordered delivery and the food arrived absolutely drowning in oil, and looked completely disgusting.
If you guys are not open at 10 AM and cannot Prepare food till 1025 or 1030. Please change your timings.
Worst food ever. Ordered vegetarian items and not even a single item was good.

I had an amazing experience when I visited this Restaurent!! Max was the cashier , he was very helpful and the food was worth spending. I spent 12$ for frontier chicken with Biryani and it was loaded with chicken . 🔥 🔥

“I just left a concert at Lincoln Hall and was looking for something to eat when I came across Ghareeb Nawaz.”
I just left a concert at Lincoln Hall and was looking for something to eat when I came across Ghareeb Nawaz. I was greeted by Max a very friendly and knowledgeable employee. He recommended that I get the #13 which is the Butter Chicken, he did not disappoint. The food was hot ( temperature wise) and delicious. I also ordered the mango drink which was sweet and refreshing. It all looked so nice that I had to take a picture. Ghareeb Nawaz gives you a bang for your buck, the prices are really affordable.I will be back to Ghareeb Nawaz soon, when you go ask for Max.

SO affordable! $6.99 for an entire plate of food (a serving of butter chicken, raita, onions, and chappati). My friends ordered their own entree curry and biryani and the portions were humongous. The food was also quite tasty! Service was fast. I do wish they served chai at this location. Will definitely be back to try the other menu items.

YOOOOO THIS PLACE 💍 Delicious delicious delicious (i was hoping if i said it three times in a row butter chicken would appear in front of me LOL) Ghareeb Nawaz was a fine establishment that prides itself on decadent food. I can’t believe I’ve never been here before. Not only is the food good, the atmosphere is important too. I forgot my headphones but I was totally allowed to watch some youtube on my phone. I would highly recommend both interviews of Quentin Tarantino by Bill Maher for Club Random. Lots of insights there BLESS thank you 📡

“Welcome to value town, awesome portions of naan and butter chicken.”
Welcome to value town, awesome portions of naan and butter chicken. Actually crazy that it tastes better and you get more than places that cost twice as much. All the food in my review costs $15 total

A MUST VISIT. Incredible value for the price. The best one I’ve seen so far. No doubt. First of all the food was FLAVORFUL. It was shockingly delicious that it felt somehow addictive lol. My mouth is watering so bad while writing this now 😂 Nice atmosphere to eat inside. Clean tables and well organized dining area. Atmosphere here is pretty chill and friendly for people who enjoys eating alone like me 👍 Definitely visiting again. (Edit: Yes I visited again. This time I ordered boneless chicken biryani and the portion was huge. Like really huge. Tasted absolutely amazing. I had to grab a to go box and bring some leftover with me. This food definitely does its job when it comes to feeding people. I’m so content and satisfied 😛😌)

“Mmmm I love the butter chicken here ❤️ Came in as a group of four the other day and only paid $24 to feed all of us.”
Mmmm I love the butter chicken here ❤️ Came in as a group of four the other day and only paid $24 to feed all of us. Probably could’ve gotten a better deal if we made the lunch special but whatever, it was still so refreshing since it usually costs like $24 per person anywhere other than a fast food chain 🤣 Tried the palak paneer for the first time and it was nice. Mmm spinach. The mango lassi isn’t as yogurt-y as it should be, kind of more like a watery mango smoothie, but I think it’s still delicious and is good value. That garlic naan though… chefs kiss. I also love the raita.

“Pretty decent on the prices and they do take credit card at this location so that’s that.”
Pretty decent on the prices and they do take credit card at this location so that’s that. Food is good like all their other restaurants here. Lunch special deals are $4.99 which two people can eat a lot of food for under $20. That’s cheap and can’t beat the taste!
