Pamir Restaurant Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Excellent tasting lamb grill, whether you try the kofte or shish."
• "Best biryani place in Coventry. Period. Biryani had the authentic spices, the meat was tender and had good portion."
• "Meat was so tender, juicy and succulent, very flavorful, marinated and grilled to perfection."
• "The food is definitely worth 5 stars, the portions are hearty and filling and the taste is genuine."
• "Very tasty food and loved but I gave one star just to make known to the owner and customers that accepting only cash and not accepting card payment is very very bad."
• "Food is good when they offer it, but I went a long way to go there and sat a while with extended family before deciding what to order."
• "Good food, busy place, so always fresh. Their lamb biriyani is very popular and lamb chops."

Cons:

• "The 1/2kg karahi which is £20 was mainly bones and looked pathetic."
• "The Afghani pillao was oily and was served with just a bone with one tiny bit of meat."
• "The only complaint that we had was the massive wait for our food."
• "The toilets were filthy and full of water which made them very slippy."
• "The lamb kofta is heavenly, it has awesome flavour and the charcoal cooking just elevates it a few more levels."
• "The chappal kebabs are tender and soft. 10 out of 10."
