Fantastic Pakistani food! The Karahi Keema was delicious it was spicy with great flavor! Definitely recommend trying.
I don't usually review places but had to leave a very positive review as the food was delicious. I'm a trucker so I order a lot of ubereats from around Kansas City and the rest of the other places I ordered butter chicken at have nothing on this place. It's even still piping hot after a 12 minute drive from the restaurant. Meat is tender, rice is perfectly cooked and I told them to make it spicy enough to make my eyes water and I was not dissapointed (:
First heard of Sohalia’s from their feature in the Open Belly podcast; one of the dishes that came highly recommended was the Chicken Biryani, and when I went to order it the host cheered that I tried something other than their Butter Chicken — which apparently is another popular choice and one I’ll have to come back for! The Chicken Biryani is on the menu Fri/Sat with basmati rice and a saffron spice blend. So yum! The family behind the counter were warm and tangibly enthusiastic about what they do! We had a nice chat as I waited for my meal!
The owners are super friendly, they even shared some of their dinner with me, and asked me to join them (they were having dinner), I ordered rice with beef (forgot the name) and butter chicken (dont if u are on a diet ) Both super super delicious, be prepared for the spiciness though. Much recommended
I couldn't wait to dive into these dishes, so the photo was taken after a few bites. Both dishes are delicious, a fantastic combination of flavors you can find at only a few places around the KC Metro.
The food is delicious. I have had most of the menu and keep coming back for more nearly weekly. Sohaila is amazing, and she and her son treat us like extended family. All around great place to eat.
This past weekend was my first visit to Lenexa Public Market and it did not disappoint! After a lovely greeting from the owner of Sohaila's, I ordered the Samosa Chaat. I have never had Pakistani food before and this dish was incredible! Everything was so fresh and the different flavors in each bite was so perfectly put together. Can't wait visit again for my next trip!
Another no-brainer, Halal food place added to my list of go-to restaurants! The food was really good. We ordered- Butter Chicken Bowl- 10/10. By far, it was one of the best butter chickens I have ever had. Chicken Karahi Bowl - 9/10, very flavourful, spicy but not too spicy. Chicken Biriyani- 8/10, We like our biriyani a little more 'masaledar', we just felt it was on the drier side. But still good. Overall, the experience was enjoyable. We definitely would not mind going again. But we did feel the amount could be a little more for the price.
