First time there ! They had food buffet variety of different dishes including sweets . From Chinese to Pakistani dish! Food quality was excellent! Prices were reasonable and and service was amazing!! I must say customer service was excellent. The cashier walked with us and showed us the way to the buffet and offered us free samples before we start eating, and welcomed us! At the end they made us fresh kabobs and didn't charge us for the Kabob they also offered a home dish they made which I loved!! I highly highly recommend this place. Great for catering and all sorts of occasions like (Weddings and birthdays) I highly recommend this place! Great with families and friends !!!

Best halal Pakistani buffet In the Baltimore area and suburbs. Huge selection of high quality food. What more could you want. Have the right expectations when you walk into this place and you will have a great experience. It is a Desi/Pakistani place. So has the ambiance to fit it. You will defiantly feel it as soon as you walk in. The food is authentic. It's near impossible to find real Pakistani find food with the right spices. Everything is too watered down. But Lal Qila does a great job at it. The buffet selection is huge. Has kabobs, grilled chicken, dozens of different dishes, Chinese halal (which is actually very good). Most importantly, they have the best halwa puri you will find anywhere. And the desert menu has Wide selection. The kheer is always on point. I go here about once every month and have never been disappointed. The place is a absolutely packed during Ramadan. And has all the things you could want to break your fast (pakora, samosa ,rooh afza etcetera). Definitely makes fasting worth it.

I'm sure to go here at least once a year. From start you should know that this place isn't very fancy- its barely ever populated, is in the middle of a mostly forgotten mall, there's barely any waiter service, and the tables and carpets are stained and a bit sticky. But I go to restaurants for food. And as far as Indian buffets go this is great. The food is not the same quality you'd get at a classy Indian restaurant, but for what you're paying, the amount of selection is dazzling. Fill your plate with biryani, white rice, chicken curry, sweet and sour chicken, etc. Then go back for more! I always wake up the morning after eating here eagerly anticipating my next trip

Amazing food, fantastic variety. We had everything from the classic Mac and cheese, southern fried chicken, orange chicken, fried rice to paya and biryani. The breads were amazing, choice between naan and Puri. All the food was hot and fresh. Four stars as the place lacks an ambiance .

We were scared going into this mall and restaurant. It likes walking back to the 80s. The food was much better than I thought it would be. The Chinese food was especially good. The Indian food was just ok. The brunch was reasonably priced. The atmosphere is rough. The place is not well maintained but that's probably due to the building. It is also right across the road from the Best Buy in the Serial Podcast. The place is scary looking and run down but the food is good. Definitely not a place to bring a date. I will come back to eat all the good food. Surprised this place has such a low rating on here. We had no interaction with the staff except when we paid in the beginning. The cashier just processed our payment no talking.
