First of all, I would like to thank you for recommending such a great Restaurant in downtown. I work at a nearby electronic store. Every time I passed by Pakistan Tea house, there was a long line. I always wondered what was so special about this place. After reading your review I finally tried Pakistan tea house and Man I have no words to describe the delicious food. Although the place is not that well decorated but food is definitely worth the BUCK! the service wasn’t that bad either. The young man and the ladies were quite helpful in getting me Chicken Curry combo. One $6.50 meal is enough for two people. I have tried many pakistani and Indian restaurants but this place ROCKS!! unlike many Indian and Pakistani restaurant which use Artificial colors and cheap oil, at pakistan tea house the food looked and tasted Fresh and pure. I have taken many friends and co-workers to this place and every time I got positive response.

I would love to recommend everyone to try this place.

I love your website…and i read it often. But your
recent post about the Pakistan Tea House…has hit a
nerve…if you will.

I am not sure if you are aware of the implications of
using the word “Paki”. It is very often a negative
term and slur. Many younger Pakistani’s see the term
as cool and use it among themselves…just as many
African Americans use the N word. Unfortunately, many
in the Pakistani commmunity use it without knowing its
history. But i can assure, if you called someone of
South Asian origins a “Paki” they will be offended.

I have been called this and i can assure it has not
aroused warm feelings…in any sense.

Also, the word was a british construct…and its
orgins go back into the time of colonialism.

I have included a link to some more information on the
topic. I hope that you would educate your readers(one
of the commenters used the word as well) and remove
the word from the post.

Sincerely,
Asif

The kebab sandwich that you saw was probably just a kebab wrapped in naan with some lettuce, cucumber and maybe some yogurt chutney (that’s a common way to make it I think).

You won’t go wrong with that..just ask for a kebab sandwich! good luck

Still though I try to go with my pakistani friend who knows exactly what to order and how to order it. I will ask him to post on here sometime this weekend to give some good recommendations of dishes.

Again though it’s a high volume joint doing buffet food, not a sit down restaurant. I would try another dish and give it a second chance as I’ve been eating there for years now without complaint.
