It must have been an off day for them when I initially ordered from here a year ago. Honestly their food was so bad that day and I still cannot figure out why. I am so glad I decided to give them another try, they have good Pakistani equivalent food. The desi Chinese is flavorful and other dishes are tasty as well. Glad I gave them another try. I'm a fan of gheir chicken Hakka noodles

Tandoori items --- sorry to say but this was one of the most tasteless and bland food I've ever had. Coming from an authentic Pakistani background, this is NOT Pakistani food taste at all. The tandoori items, rice, channas -- all were bland and just had no flavor or taste. Wasted my takeout day dinner and money. Disappointed.

I love the buffet here. The food is full of flavor and usually a good variety. Oh and the naan is excellent.
That being said, the service is borderline terrible. The gentleman helping us today stopped us immediately upon entering and asked if we wanted naan. I responded, absolutely! Then he asked what we want to drink. It took almost 10 minutes to get beverages. I had to ask for my drink as though I was placing my order again for the first time. Two other times we had to ask for refills. While other patrons didn't seem to share that challenge. The lack of service just takes the enjoyment out of it.
I'll be on the hunt for somewhere else to get my Butter Chicken fix.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

I'm happy you've always felt welcome here, Clyde! I appreciate the kind words. It's great the Butter Chicken and naan have always been tasty, too. We'll see you again soon!
I'd love to know -- have you tried one of our kababs yet?
Talk soon,
Shagufta, OwnerJun 29, 2017Previous review"Love their Indian cuisine. They have a very good lunch buffet! Service is awesome (Shagufta)!"
Sadly, the above didn't apply today. The food was still excellent. The service was the worst ever. Our glasses remained empty until we asked for a refill. The phone kept ringing off the hook. Strangely enough we could hear the phone announcing who was calling at the same time.
I didn't see any of the normal faces working so that probably explains the terrible service.
Today's visit was disappointing for sure.
Hopefully next time will be back to normal....Jan 5, 2017Previous reviewLove their Indian cuisine. They have a very good lunch buffet! Service is awesome (Shagufta)! This place is tucked back in a small strip mall off of West Broad Street. My favorite dish is their Butter Chicken with warm naan. I highly recommend checking them out! Make sure to try their hot tea as well. The interior was recently remodeled and the place is very open and inviting. Enjoy!

I went by there today, 2/12/24 they are no longer in business. I went there about two months and their prices were sky high so I left. Unfortunately, I really liked the food there.

We are a huge fan of Noorani's, as we don't mind driving all the way down to Richmond to get our karahi fix!
This restaurant offers both Pakistani and Indian eats (such as samosas, chaat papris, pani puri, chole bhature, kababs, biryani, and even fish/veggie options), and even a Chinese Menu.
Our favorite is the Chicken Karahi - it is always made fresh-to-order, and the seasonings, the spices, and the chicken are so flavorful and juicy. They don't skimp out on the portions, as you can find plenty of meat! The karahi sauce is simmered to perfection, making it thick and yummy and perfect to dip the freshly-baked naan in.
We've also tried their Chicken Biryani and their Butter Chicken - the hubs enjoyed the biryani, and we both thought the Butter Chicken was good, too - the latter had a nice tang to it and hard large chunks of chicken.
I'd like to try out their grilled kababs next time, and maybe some of their Chinese options!
Service is always so welcoming and so friendly - they are adhering to all social distancing practices, such as readily-available disposable gloves for the lunch buffet line, and the tables and chairs set apart from each other.
I just wish that their restrooms are more clean/tidy and have better toilet paper!
Plenty of parking in the small shared plaza lot.

I ordered the chicken 65 as an appetizer and the malai chicken as my entrée. I had a large group order for six individuals and everything was done right my only feedback is that I wish the containers were labeled because we ended up having to figure out which food was for which person based on the type of meat after digging through the food. The food quality was excellent "authentic. And I must say the price was great. You get a lot of food for your money. They Should update their menu. I called and asked for hummus and he was so confused but then ended up realizing that the Menu online was outdated.

Very unprofessional lady at the reception. They screwed up my order. She was apologetic but did not replace my order. She also very rude to other guests when they walked in. Food was not great. Please do not order Noorani Biryani. I will not go there again. Decor was nice and spacious.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
