Testimonials

We had an amazing dinner at Sareena restaurant on Devon. Staff were fantastic and welcoming. The food was delicious and perfectly presented. Atmosphere was inviting. We will certainly be back again!

Naveed Hooda

Stopped for lunch buffet, very surprised by quality of food. Typically you would expect limited and low-quality food for buffet everywhere, surprisingly food was very good, fresh, and all the variety of dishes that you could expect for brunch/lunch.

Muhammad Khokhar

It is the best Nihari that you will ever have, Brain Masala also is top of the line. Which they have a branch in the South so we don't have to drive 74 miles every Saturday to have food. Aslam is really a great Chef.

Hisham Jubran
