Once Upon A Grill

Don't let the apperence or location deter you from enjoying the BEST Indian food in AA! Absolutely incredible once we figured out the menu. Recommend carryout only as the atmosphere is not for dining in - food usually takes ~30minutes to prepare after you call just FYI! We enjoy the (see pictures) Saag Panner, vegetable biryani, and Tiki Masala.

I went in to get some dinner for my family. I’d never been there before so I ordered plenty. It took him about a half hour to get everything ready. When I paid he charged me an extra $15. I gave him my card then started adding up what I ordered. He could see me looking at the menu and adding in my head. He told me those prices aren’t right, those are prepandemic prices. Those are the only prices listed in the store. The whole time we were there he was complaining about how the price of everything was going up. He should change the prices but don’t blind side people. He didn’t put much meat in the food ordered. Pretty disappointing. We won’t go back.

FIRST WARNING: I SAW THE OWNER PREPARING ALL OF OUR FOOD WITHOUT GLOVES HAIRNET FOR HIS LONG BEARD. I have no idea what these other reviewers are smoking. First off, the place does not have a good look to it. The random chairs on the front lawn are tacky. Walk in and you'll find it does not have a good atmosphere. Missing panels, dirty looking. The owner's 4 kids are running around and making noise with the chairs that sounds like nails on the chalkboard. I ordered samosa chaat and then the owner informed me 15 min later that he was out of tamarind sauce. I decided to go for it anyways. My friend ordered a chicken tikka Marsala naan sandwich which was a total mess. He should have just ordered chicken tikka marsala with a side of naan. The naan is reheated and the Chicken tikka marsala is so clearly made with marinara sauce. Nothing is fresh here. Source: I worked at the highest rated Indian restaurant in the Washtenaw area and this is a total disappointment.

The store may not look like all that, but he does have indoor seating, and outdoor seating Amazing, authentic and delicious taste of Pakistan. Super friendly owner Brother Farooq. He is a one man band working 6 days a week, I I'm glad to support this local business, I drive for an hour for this food

Mr Farukh bhai the owner is a very nice and kind person. Always willing to go out of his way and make our order perfect. I am a vegetarian who loves his samosas. He makes sure that the meat items do not cross path with my deep fried samosas ..thank you . Please support small business owners like this one ! It will go a long way !❣
