This is the first Pakistani /Indian buffet I've ever been to. Every weekend, they serve a huge variety of curries, breads, biriyani, meats, vegetarian dishes, desserts and unlimited mango lassi. They even have a variety for kids and those who don't like don't South asian food, like pizza, wings, and burgers.
You pay at the entrance and sit where ever you like. The servers are great, especially with kids! One time my kids and their friends were sitting on their own table and one of the servers attended to their needs. This has happened now than once - cleaning up spills, getting more water or Mango lassi.
Not all the dishes are amazing, but some are better than others, and there is something for everyone. The weak part of the buffet is the dessert section. While there is a large variety, from gulab jamun, jalebi, rice pudding, rasgulla, ice cream and cake, I didn't love them. The pudding wasn't bad, it's the best of the much.
If you want to try Indian /Pakistani cuisine I don't think you'd find a better place to do it. It's such a good value, especially if you go to Groupon and buy a certificate for 2 guests for $29. It's normally $20 per person and $10 for kids. I've seen people use 2 certificates when it is disallowed in the terms and conditions, but you're better off paying normal price for kids.
The Shahnawaz banquet is also a wedding venue when not doing buffet, so there are lots of tables. When you are dining, they never rush you to finish, so it's a great place to catch up with friends and family. There isn't much ambience, but good variety of food, good service, good prices will have me coming back for sure.
