Came here last night and honestly the food blew me away! I got the Zafrani Mutton Marag with the Zafrani Mutton Dum Biryani and finished with the Cream Fruit Salad everything was delicious.

Muqeet Bhai, the owner, truly makes the place special with his warm hospitality and dedication to quality. I regret not coming here more often, and I definitely recommend Nawaz Gulshan to anyone looking for delicious,…
