I come here with deep guilt and shame because it is unfathomable to me how I have still not written about my every day go to place off the bustling Coney Island Avenue. A true institution in Little Pakistan, Lahori Chilli is an iconic restaurant nestled in the very busy row of neighborhood staples off of Foster Ave. This is a no-frills place serving up every day Pakistani cuisine in a Homey setting. There are booths for your comfort or an adjacent dining hall if you're here with family. They have some hot items almost every day that you can choose from, visible through the greasy glass of the display case. The sweets here are very very good, I particularly enjoy their falooda. Recently also sampled their gulab jamun, and they were to die for. Another dish they are super well known for is their battered masala fish fillet. This is something you have to dine in for to truly appreciate. It comes piping hot, crispy, and with just the perfect amount of masala dusting on top. A true culinary gem if you ask me. It has no bones and the crispy batter is the lightly crunchy without being super oily or greasy like a lot of other fried fish. The fish inside is moist, has no smell and is flaky. It is absolute perfection.Other things I absolutely love on their menu are their chicken seekh kababs and their kofta curry. Those two are usually my go to when I'm ordering food to go or delivery. I do want to give some feedback on a few things though. First of all, it's a little annoying that all the meat dishes are chicken only like I would like to see beef or lamb chapli kabab and seekh kabab. Why is the keema aloo chicken only? I wanna see lamb keema and beef keema on the menu. I also have noticed with some of the items that are in the buffet, they can have that smell sometimes that tells you that the food has been sitting out and not kept at the recommended temperature. A lot of food I order from the glass case goes bad the next day. I need the owner to implement better food safety. We also need more cleanliness around the dining area and spruce up the entrance a bit so people who are not local and privvy to desi food can have a clean and quality hole in the wall dining experience. Either way this restaurant is a place that I continue to frequent year after year. Thank you for feeding and nourishing this community.

This place gave me really bad food poisoning. I'm almost certain that it wasn't the cooked food but the side salad, but still, if it's being served, it should be cleaned properly.

quite possibly the best karahi I've had (that was not made by a friends grandmother) will definitely make the hour trek on the subway to come back!

Great buffet style food, has been serving the community for decades. Always loud, always bustling. Not fancy at all, but always flavorful. Also excellent value for the quality, everything is priced for the working man. Mostly self-serve, you order at the counter and go sit, they bring you your food within ten minutes.

Very good food. Polite people and patient when ordering. If you don't speak their language, you also have to have patience. I recommend highly.

I have had food here often and I'm always satisfied. They have good portions. I have ordered the Haleem many times and have never been disappointed. I also like the aloo paratha here. So delicious. a good selection of desserts too. I have enjoyed the falooda.

I buy food from here often and typically enjoy it, however, the last time I purchased butter chicken - it was spoiled.Today was the Pakistani Mela 2023 and they had guys grilling tandoori chicken/kebabs/chapli kebabs to make $20 platters. - I ordered and the guy proceeded to serve 10 other men standing up behind me, before me, and this is after I said I'd like a platter to go. I told the grill guy I've been waiting here for like 10mins.. - it was thrown into a bag in a rush.- the $20 platter consisted of 2 triangles of naan, one kebab, one chapli kebab and 3 small pieces of tandoori chicken. They didn't make the platter the way they were serving the men nor was what I received worth $20 if I had gone into their store to buy everything separately.Extremely disappointing and I'd hate to think that they chose to give me a half filled platter because I was not Pakistani nor a man. Weird bcuz I literally saw him putting 2 kebabs, multiple slices of naan, at least 5 pieces of chicken and other stuff like sauces for the men they were serving. - they also allowed some older Pakistani lady to touch all the pieces of some fried thing on the grill with her bare hands... that's nasty.

First time ordering from them. Delivery took around 40mins. This place serves huge portions of deliciously spiced food! Ordered a chicken biryani, halwa puri, garlic naan, 4 chicken shish kebab and 2 samosas. I didn't expect that much food but it was definitely enough to feed 3-4 people. Everything was really good except for the samosas. They were very plain and lacked taste. We got a strawberry jam-like sauce (not sure if it was for the sweets that came with the halwa puri), but it went really well with the chicken shish kebab.

I've ordered from this place many many times and everything they make is so good. The butter chicken, the samosas, aloo tikka, the haleem, the roti, okra, all amazing. And they don't just add in a crappy salad for free. They give you a beautiful salad with perfectly fresh vegetables. And the staff are so pleasant and kind. I really believe that this is one of the best restaurants in NYC.
