I’ve been coming here on and off but something has changed. Ordering and paying for food was very awkward and poor fashioned. But food was excellent.Waiting staff were nice but had to go to the till and order food and immediately pay for it. It’s definitely not a restaurant atmosphere. It felt more like a takeaway or a McDonald’s style come to the counter, order, pay, and take your food and eat.There are enough waiting staff to come to your table, take your order and then if they don’t have much faith then just send the bill to the table.Again food was delicious and full of flavour. The Naan bread was perfect t and just out the oven.5 stars for food but 3 stars for hospitality fail.Don’t miss out

The place is very clean and staff are great.the food is amazing but only one thing that doesn't meet up is that.you pay first and then you eat if you need more naan you go pay and then you get your naan while in that time the food gets cold.they need to go back how it was order eat and pay at the end as service of food will be faster.

Fantastic restaurant. A must try in green street. The butter chicken is the one! The chicken tikka starter was great. Kebabs were OK. Naan bread was OK. Proper fresh food. Great customer service. The Aroma ice cream is delicious.Toilet facilities is nice and clean and they have proper hand wash that has good fragrance.

The service was okay, the restaurant looks good, however the food wasn’t that great.. the kids chicken fry was quite spicy, the chicken munchurian was just added in ketchup and sour, the karahi was decent okay!

I was absolutely enthralled with the food! Amazing authentic Pakistani cuisine. Beautifully flavoured butter chicken curry and a lamb karahi. Wonderfully spiced and flavoured. The food tasted as good as it looked which is rare. The one bit of feedback I would give is that I did not enjoy the fact that we had to order at the till. We had to leave our meals and walk to the till to order anything extra which made zero sense. If the waiters took our orders this would have been a 5/5 experience. The staff were friendly nonetheless. Overall, brilliant food, and I will be returning.

We dont really expect that their food is gonna be so tasty. We tried chicken biryani, chicken karahi and plain naan.My god the food was so tasty i cant even express.Im fully satisfied with their food and also their service.I highly recommend this place.

I'm not keen on going to desi restaurants as I feel like I'm doing them a favour by just turning up. Here the staff I felt were indifferent, no friendly greeting and we were given a table under an AC vent, which was very cold and woke my baby up and we hadn't even sat down yet.The food was okay, nothing special. What they charged for 3 samosas, I did not expect 3 small filo pastry samosas. We ordered Shahi Panner and Chick peas. The panner lack richness and the chick peas were bland.And what they charge for the food I would expect to pay at the table, not order at the counter.

I've been twice now. 1st visit just had a lamb curry and naan, which was really good.2nd visitI got a lamb saag and a chicken jalfrazi. Both very good. I wanted that same curry again. I forgot what curry I had, and showed a picture (of the curry from my first visit) to the lady that takes the orders she said it was the 900 year old one. But when it came and I tasted it, it wasn't the same. She changed it to a lamb curry with no fuss. But it didn't have the same taste as I remembered.But regardless while there service isn't that amazing, the restaurant is clean and simple prices are decent and most importantly food is tasty.

Not so fond of self ordering at the counter considering the prices are more suited for full waited service.£1.20 for foreign imported Pepsi light which tasted like metal, didn't find that cool at all.The place looks well renovated and everything is very clean. Including plates.The food tasted average and nothing really that special. Ordered the 900year old recipe lamb dish but did not find it to be that special. The lady at the reception could not describe the dish properly and I couldn't imagine the taste. I didn't have much interaction with the staff as they are just busy delivering food to the table. But they seemed friendly.Overall a clean place but the food did not hit the spot. I think improvement on the food taste will make this place a whole lot better. .

I love all types of food and love trying new places, so today it was Khana Khazan on my list to try. Mind you, I have been to this place years ago; long before the revamp and remember it being very tasty food, although back then the restaurant was cramped and dated.It has been modernized, very clean and spacious, everything neat and tidy, definitely a plus. Upon arrival a waitress told us to find a table and sit, we could sit anywhere, she was friendly enough. Once we looked through the menu, the same waitress told us when we know what to order; to go to the counter and place the order, somewhat disappointing they don't take order from the table, any decent restaurant should take orders from the table really. Been a long time since I have experienced that I must admit (except fast food restaurants and Nandos maybe lol). Ordering from the counter means you pay before eat, which is not a problem I guess.We had Grill Chicken, which tasted somewhat okay, nothing special, not something you would go out of your way to have again, It wasn't bad either. Chicken Biryani was a bit bland, portion was okay, enough to share between two people with other food. It's okay to be fair, again nothing special. Lamb dish which they claim is a 900 years old recipe, was probably the biggest disappointment, not because it wasn't nice, it was okay for sure, but nothing special, I guess the 900 years old recipe claim made me expect something really tasty, it fell well below my expectations. Meat was soft, juicy, meat sauce was nice too, but unfortunately I have had better in so many other places. Butter Nan just didn't cut it, felt like something missing, note, maybe seve Nan in a hot plate so it doesn't get cold too quick.Last but not least, Diet Pepsi, they charge £1.20, which is reasonable, but it tasted horrible, straight away I realised it must be foreign import cans, it didn't taste like regular diet pepsi. Disappointed with that, why not serve regular UK Pepsi, if it means you have to charge a few pence more it's not a big deal, rather then having to serve cheap imported cans.Overall, although I wasn't totally disappointed with my visit, I probably won't rush to visit again. Worth a try if you are in the area, but don't expect anything special.
