They had excellent variety of food and deserve 5 stars for quality maintenance and their hospitality. Mutton curry with poori was the show stopper. Very reasonable price for such an elaborate spread.

The best time to go there is weekend, that's when the food is fresh. We have had a bad experience few years ago, on a weekday, but now they have new owners, so maybe it's not the case anymore. They have the best barbeque, which is rare for a halal restaurant. The ambiance and overall cleanliness isn't up to the mark, but if food is all that matters to you, it's a good place to go. We have catered from them, the food quality and freshness was excellent!! Honestly speaking, if ambiance matters to you, this isn't a good place for you.

I celebrated my son’s first birthday. We had around 60 guests, so they gave us a hall. Everything was great. Food was amazing. Staff is very helpful. Owner is amazing. Over all great experience. Thoroughly enjoyed. Guests loved it too.

Very nice place! We had a small engagement ceremony done here. and I was very happy with the restaurant. The food was freshly made when we arrived and they made sure that none of their items were ever low, meaning everyone was able to take as much as they want and enjoy. The appetizers were prepared fresh and were delicious! The managers were always available as soon as we needed them. The best part was, since our family was the one hosting, we did not get to eat as much and without us ever mentioning anything, they had already packed numerous items for us to take home to enjoy, specifically stating that "events like these mean the hosts don't get to enjoy the food due to hosting. So we made sure to pack food for you to take home free of charge so that you can enjoy." I would definitely recommend this place!

I don't know from where to start...! I was looking for a restaurant to accommodate 30 people for Lunch. I went here just order the food but they gave me a hall were i can accommodate my entire group. Later I asked them can I make some decoration coz its actually its our Baby's 1st birthday, they said the hall is yours for rest of the day you can do anything you want. We enquired other places they were asking $50 - $70p/hr just for the hall and food is additional, we were really surprised and felt lucky that we ended here at LAL-QILA. 1. Food: It was really awesome great delicious food, they had lot of varieties... Make sure you have enough space to fill your tummy. My friends sat for 3hours but they were unable to taste their entire food varieties :-) and it is HALAL food. (Attached Pictures) 2. Hall: The Hall which they gave us it will easily accommodate more than 50people but it was good enough for our crowd. (Attached Pictures) 3. Staffs are bit busy but if you ask them anything you want they will fulfill your need right on time. 4. Overall experience was good, all my Friends and Guest really appreciated about this place, food, location & ambience. They will book this place for their future programs. THANK YOU LAL-QILA Management

My husband and I came from out of town while visiting MD. The service was excellent. It is a large restaurant but definitely casual and inexpensive . Food was fresh and made to order (we were told that the buffet is only during the weekend). Ordered the curry chicken it was very flavorful juicy and large serving size. Confirmed that it is Zabihah hand slaughtered halal . Meat is from Farmer’s Halal (which hand slaughters all of their meat). Overall very pleased with the food and service. Definitely recommend stopping by if you are visiting from out of town.
