パキスタン＆アラブ家庭料理 ALI’S KITCHEN

Dine in | Lunch | Dinner | ¥3,000–4,000 There's no food better than home food and Ali's kitchen serves it BETTER. Most authentic Pakistani food we have had and to have it in Japan of all places was a shocker! We are still dreaming of the wagyu beef and biryani because they were perfect in every... way. Each bite was an explosion of flavors for a tourist hungry from the 30k walk Osaka requires for its exploring. This place is packed so make sure to make reservations ahead of time. ALI Bhai, the owner, is a delightful host and personally welcomes anyone coming through the doors of his restaurant. He will share stories of Japan and helps guide his customer to the best and untold gems in Japan. So, don't miss out on having a hearty conversation with the man himself. The food is priced reasonably and the quantity is fulfilling. Service is fast. The place is small, as is the norm in Japan, but it's in the heart of dotonburi. You can find it right by the metro/train station. It is located in the basement and has a small prayer space too which is a bonus. Things to try from their menu 1. Chicken biryani (OMG if you're a Karachi resident then you're instantly going to associate the shadi Wali biryani to this authentic tasting dish) 2. Waqyu beef - never tasted anything as succulent and seasoned so balanced 3. Malai chicken - well balanced, and very soft. Not dry like most chicken BBQ items are. 4. Nihari - excellent and pair it with the in house tandoori 5. Tandoori chicken - well spiced! 6. Daal - nothing better than a humble daal if the newness of Japanese cuisine has upset your stomach. Overall, it was an experience beyond our expectations. The concern to find halal food in Japan is real and to have a restaurant that caters to those needs is the greatest blessing one can ask for.

While it's true that anywhere in Osaka is bound to have pests, you don't usually see them. Ali has the unfortunate luck of having a transparent ceiling light that showcases cockroaches in the throes of death, which really put me off my meal. I wasn't the only customer who saw it, but neither of us m...ade a fuss because it's something the owner can't really do much about. Being in a semi-basement area can't help the situation. Perhaps consider changing the ceiling light to something different. Having seen it, though, I can't say I want to go back. The food was ok.

I’ve been traveling Japan for 20 days and it has been a challenge at times to find vegetarian food, Ali’s kitchen was spectacular. I got the Dahl, Gaarlic Nan, and Samosa and i can confidently say that was the best Dahl i’ve ever had. Bonus points for ali (who speaks 7 languages) and made us feel ri...ght at home. 10/10 must stop in osaka.

The cleanliness was low. The food wasn't fresh, and the hommos were rotten. I was shocked regarding the food and rating and the level of the halal food in japan

Food was alright. The owner greeted us which was a nice touch. However, we ordered hummus and what turns out to taste like microwaved pita (we could tell by the uneven texture and staleness in some parts of it), then ordered a spicy lunch combo set which had really small mango lassi cup filled with ...ice cubes. The spicy lunch combo set was alright. My partner ordered palak paneer with paratha, paratha tasted like it was cooked from frozen food and palak was lukewarm. Not sure if reviews here are biased or paid, but unfortunately we did not have a pleasant experience.
