Master Critic Review
Majestic Restaurant
7.6
A newer late-night halal South Asian kitchen built around biryani, haleem, and fried-spiced chicken plates. It’s best treated as a value-forward takeout and after-hours comfort stop—big flavors, simple room, and a menu that rewards ordering the core rice-and-curry specialties.

Mutton biryani, Chicken 65, Mutton haleem

What makes it special: Late-night biryani-and-haleem comfort plates with strong value.
Who should go: Night owls chasing biryani, haleem, and spicy fried chicken.
When to visit: Late evening for peak “after-hours meal” energy.
What to order: Mutton biryani, chicken 65, mutton haleem.
Insider tip: Keep it rice-forward—one biryani plus one side travels best.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly street parking (metered/permit depending on the block). Late-night is usually easier than prime dinner hours, but plan a short loop on busy weekends.
Dress code: Ultra casual—hoodies, jeans, and sneakers totally fine. Come as you are.
Noise level: Low to moderate—generally easy to talk, with occasional spikes during late-night rush pickup.
Weekend wait: 10–25 min typical; can jump to 30+ min if a late-night takeout wave hits.
Weekday lunch: 0–10 min typical; fastest window for in-and-out service.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—vegetarian curries and rice-based plates are usually available, but the menu leans meat-forward overall.
Vegan options: Limited—expect a few workable options if you stick to lentils/veg curries and rice; confirm ghee/cream before ordering.
Gluten-free options: Some good options—biryani, many curries, and rice plates are naturally gluten-free, but fried items and breads are not (cross-contact possible).
Best For
Better for: Late-night halal South Asian comfort that’s rice-and-curry driven: biryani, haleem, and fried-spiced chicken plates that deliver big flavor for the price—especially as takeout.
Consider Alternatives If: You want a polished dine-in experience, a long multi-course meal, or lots of vegan-friendly variety. Choose a more sit-down Indian spot when ambience, service pacing, and broader veg depth matter most.
