I had an unfortunate experience at Shah Jahan Shinwari. The food quality was disappointingly low, and the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. Regrettably, the behavior displayed by the staff was unpleasant and lacked professionalism. I would rate my experience as zero. I hope the establishment can address these issues for improvement.
In addition, I found the karahi made with smelly meat and the aroma of the kabali palao was off-putting. This further contributed to my dissatisfaction with the overall dining experience at Shah Jahan Shinwari.

I am reviewing this establishment after recent holiday (31st October 2022 - 23rd November 2022) in Pakistan.
I have eaten from this establishment only once.
We visited this establishment because we attended Jhelum Citi Land Theme Park earlier on in the day.
Parking isn’t an issue they have a lot of parking outside.
We attended on 16th November 2022 arrived around 2:20pm and it was quiet but this was expected.
You can eat outside they table’s and charpai’s with cushions the seating looks amazing outside but we didn’t risk it due to the number of flies in the area (food would have attracted too many flies), they have big seating inside small/large tables and private areas for families.
Where we sat was clean but as they were only open for a few hours it is expected to be.
We ordered:
Chicken Karahi – Full
Lamb Karahi – Half
Chicken Fried Rice
Dal Mash Fry (in butter)
Chicken Kebab – 6 Piece
BBQ Malai Boti
4 x Naan
Multiple Roti
Cold Drink 1.5 Litre
Water Bottle 1.5 Litre
6 x Desi Chai
Food took around 20 minutes wasn’t too long, the food looked fresh and good.
The Chicken KebabBBQ Malai Boti were great no issues with them, Chicken Karahi was okay the Lamb Karahi however required chewing a lot so I only at a little as I didn’t want to risk my health with it, I didn’t taste the dal mash fry but was told it was good, my brother-in-law and Mrs tasted the chicken fried rice they stated it wasn’t made fresh that day (probably microwaved) we didn’t eat it, naan/roti was nice and fresh, salad was good, I was also told the Chai was good, they didn’t have Nestle water they had a different brand (Can’t remember the name).
The staff were friendly, respectful and helpful no complaints about the service.
They have separate toilets for male and females but the male toilets didn’t have tissues and was missing soap so I told my Mrs to get the soap from the female toilets.
Overall, the experience was okay it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t amazing.
Since I have not tried all the menu listed but as far as concern to BB.Q it was great. Fresh meat with the perfect blend of spices. Wherever it required mild they fulfilled the taste. I am a fan of Afghani tikka at Shah Jahan Shinwari

Amazing, really likes the taste of Desi Food especially makhni karahi Great place for spending time with friends. We had a great meetup last night. I think sometimes they run out of milk for a quick tea after dinner. 😅😅 But that's fine for that reason, we've had a little extra time to enjoy the gathering. More they need to plant some trees around the outdoor sitting area to minimize the spices of dust. Overall, everything is great.🥲

Excellent customer service ; staff need to pay more attention towards customers once they served . Food presentation needs to improve , taste if the food was good . nice and clean environment.
Tasted 2 weeks ago. The taste and the sitting is perfect but the delay in food is not compromisable when you are hungry. No issue and no negative review from me. I am leaving +ive review because i had a wonderful dinner here with my friends and the taste makes forgettable the time wasted in waiting for 50 minutes. try to improve the service. Management is fine. Prices and need to be little re considered but taste is over welcome 😉. Thank you
