Chicken Tikka and chooza still very good although the size of the chicken getting smaller. It would be good if you coud order extra chicken pieces one their own without having to order and waste a portion of chips. Avoid the keema chapati...lacking flavour.

Couple of years back it was a great place, much in demand for BBQ, takeaways, recent experience was a disappointment, both ambiance and quality needs to be upgraded.

Been a few times in the last 6 months and food always good. Decor and ambiance is on the basic side but you go for the food. You have to have the Chooza chicken (whole chicken done in a tandoori served with chooza sauce) problem is that they only have a set number of portions per night so you have... More

I always enjoyed going to Hashmi's ..doesn't matter what time it was. They have scrumptious menu. The one important thing they can improve on, is the ambiance. Needs a major makeover.

If you are in the know of what a Kenyan chicken tika is, then this is one of the places you should go to in Nairobi. Chicken tika has evolved from North Indian Punjabi tandoori chicken yet in Kenya we do it differently. And if I may say so myself, we do it better! Chargrilled spicy marinated chicken served with...

If you love Indian/Pakistani barbecue - this is a must go place. Casual, relaxed, reasonably priced and amazing value for money. Treat your gluttony for flesh here.
