So it's been about 2 or more years since I came to this place. Previously they left a lot to be desired.I went with my family and decided to give them another try. I left pictures of what I ordered. Charga was very good, made fresh from what I gathered as the meat wasn't stale or smelly and the masala was well mixed. Same goes for the kebabs. Biryani was good, I mean, I can't expect fresh biryani but taste wise, it was made well, masala wasn't heavy. The gosht karahi in my opinion was made well and appropriate masala but too much oil. Naan was awesome, not too doughy and cooked appropriately. Overall, I think they are doing better than before but considering we were the only dine in there, it would be interesting if they can keep the same quality of the food if there were a restaurant full of people.

I'll admit it was my first time trying haleem, but this was one of the best South Asian dishes I've ever had. Great texture, good and spicy, loved the raw ginger on top. And great bread to dip in it. Our server was very nice and attentive as well. Go for the weekend specials!

Ordered the fried chicken half. The white meat was fairly dry. The dark meat was juicy and had a nice crisp to it. The naan was soft & fluffy on the interior while just crispy on the outside. I didn't find this chicken particularly special. Just OK.

I have to say after a good recommendation one of my co-workers, I finally give a shot to this place, I have to throw on that this restaurant is a Pakistani approved place by one of my other co-worker. I came with couples of co-workers and had a family-style dinner. The restaurant is located in the city with make parking a little difficult, but the restaurant is pretty big so is not that hard to get a table. They don't serve alcohol or allow it from outside like most of the restaurant in Philly with making it a little turn off but the food makes it worth it. We order the fried chicken, curry goat, biryani, and some bread.One of the best combinations of that night was dipping the bread on the curry coat sauce making it very delicious.The fried chicken had a good seasoning a bit spicy with you could taste it at the end, with it make it unique and very had to resist the amazing flavor, we ended ordering another one, this has to be the most order plate everytime you come here. The biryani was ok, it had a good taste but not a fan of it on this place the VIP of the night was chicken for sure. I can see myself coming back to eat more fried chicken.

Most of the food was alright, but damn, that fried fish was insane. Probably the best fried fish I have ever had- crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Well-seasoned all throughout and an absolute delight to eat. I wish I could change my order and just get the fish instead of whatever I ordered because it was out of this world. I think I got a chicken something but it was only decent.It is a little bit more expensive in the 15-20$ range, but the service was a bit slow. It was easy to get seated though.

Wah-Gi-Wah is a Pakistani restaurant in West Philly, a few blocks outside University City. Tipped off by a Facebook review in a community forum, my friend and I decided to come find out what "food better than my Pakistani mother's" tastes like.We shared the half chargha (fried chicken), allo palak (spinach and potatoes), and takatak fish (grilled fish with herbs and spices). Juicy and full of flavor, the chargha alone was good enough to warrant a repeat visit. The spinach and potatoes in the allo palak were smooth and flavorful. Our least favorite, the takatak fish was salty and oily. We think the sauce would taste better with a heartier protein like lamb.Despite what other Yelpers reported, our servers were attentive and friendly. We had a huge pitcher of water all to ourselves. Including tax and tip, we spent $16 per person - well worth it for a delicious dinner!

Overall rating this location has is not justified. I been coming here since they opened 8-9 years ago. Yes their service isn't top notch. There isn't professional waiter or waitress working in there. They just bring the food out to you, that's all. However, their food is amazing. Absolutely amazing!!! I am very picky with desi food. This place is my favorite. Their food is fresh, and cheap. Restaurant is very clean and pretty big inside. Great for large group and family. They are great for catering food for large event. Owner is super friendly and will work with you on the price.
