My Frist review on a restaurant to Nina’s Desi Kitchen and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I ordered the beef chapli kebab and Peshawari pulao — both were cooked perfectly with authentic flavors that instantly reminded me of home. The kebab was juicy and full of spice, while the pulao was aromatic and comforting. Service was excellent, with friendly staff who made sure everything went smoothly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Overall, it felt like a place made with love for food and culture. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I also tried the beef haleem, and it was outstanding, rich, and full of authentic taste. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for fresh, authentic Desi cuisine. Will definitely be coming back!

Absolutely loved the food at Nina’s Desi Kitchen! The Peshawari chicken pulao was fragrant, flavorful, and cooked perfectly – every bite was comforting and authentic. To finish, the Sheer Khurma was so yummy and satisfying, the perfect sweet treat to end the meal. Great service and a warm atmosphere make this place a must-visit!

Chris and I had stopped for samples during Apple harvest and the food was so delicious I went back the next day for my lunch! I met with the owners and we had such a nice conversation! Food was delicious and definitely plan to go back as a regular!

We began the first day of our vacation on a bad not with the locations either being partially open or not open at all. Lunch wasn't that great either. Somehow we went to Wadsworth falls and had fun. After finished enjoy our time at the falls, we were hungry to another level. You see this level being famished is something else and when we are famished, we always look for @desi.food and viola we found a gem! A recently opened Pakistani restaurant that serves traditional desi-pakistani food at its best! You would not believe the owners are down to earth kinda people. We were running late as the restaurant closes at 9 and we would be there by 8:20. Most restaurants would turn us away as we were late, but Nina's kitchen did not, rather welcomed us with such warmth, that we were halfway full with their generosity. They were pretty accomodating and took our order over the phone to save us some time. As soon as we opened the door, the aroma was out of this world and the view was just mouth watering. Our table was ready with our orders being served on the go! We ordered the following: 1. Chicken Karahi - 5 2. Chicken Shami Kebab - 5 3. Shahi Lamb Biryani - 4.7 4. Laccha Paratha - 4.8 5. Garlic Naan - 5 We spoke with the owners for a long time and their story is something you should visit and listen. As we were finishing our food, they came to us and said, "Since you had a bad day, we would love to give you 2 cups of masala chai - IT WAS AWESOME & CAN'T BE RATED (tea) and Sooji Ka Halwa -5 (dessert)". We were humbled and whispered under our breath, what a end to a day that began otherwise. The couple followed all protocols according to Covid-19 pandemic and we felt safe to eat there. Masks were worn through and through with other safety measures. The picture was taken without the masks just for picture courtesy sake. For what it's worth! The food was awesome and so was the company. Please do visit @ninasdesikitchen for the best Desi food in the Tri-State.
