I have driven passed Peshawar SO many times without ever realizing they were there. We were going to go to a place in Cudahy with similar cuisine for lunch, however they oddly didn't open until 1pm. So I did an internet search for the same cuisine, and someplace we have never been, and Peshawar came up. So we off we went. It is a very nice, small, dining area that is kept VERY clean. The colors are very soothing and the lights over the tables are just gorgeous. There was a large family there as well when we arrived close to opening with several children. Very well behaved, but still appeared to have a good time at their own table. Sound does not travel far as it is an L-shaped dining room with low enough ceilings to keep it contained. Very nice. So tired off open ceilings exposing duct work and pipes. The young lady who was both host and server was just wonderful. So friendly and warm. She checked on us regularly, but was never intrusive. The food is SO good. We ordered the Paneer Pakora, Garlic Naan, Malai Boti, and Chicken 65. The Pakora was very nicely crisp with a soft inside. ALL of the chicken was so tender and so deliciously spiced. The sauces were a perfect compliment, and the garlic naan was subtle but delicious. The portions were large enough for us both to have taken 1-2 meals home for later. VERY much looking forward to the leftovers!

We got nihari, biryani, mixed grill and samosas. Everything was delicious. Our favorite was Nihari, which definitely competes with Nihari you get on Chicago Devon Avenue. Oh and garlic naan was amazing! Service could be improved a bit. Server didn’t really check back with us until we were done eating for over 15 mins and had to wait a decent amount of time for the check. All this when the place was not busy on a weekday, and had barely 2 other tables served. I’m still giving 5 stars since food was worth it.

If you’re craving authentic Pakistani cuisine, look no further than Peshawar restaurant.I recently indulged in their Peshawar combo platter, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The grilled meat platter featured a delightful array of meats showcasing the best of Pakistani flavors. The chicken tikka boti was incredibly tender, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection, while the malai (cream) boti was charred just right and melted in my mouth. Although the seekh kebab was a tad undercooked for my taste, it was still enjoyable. The Peshawari mutton karahi was a revelation—spicy, flavorful, and reminiscent of home, with tender mutton that brought authentic taste to the table. The highlight of the meal was the outstanding haleem, made with beef and lentils and slow-cooked for hours, boasting a rich depth of flavor that left me wanting more. Our meal was beautifully complemented by buttered naan, tandoori roti, and hand-made chapati, all adding a wonderful touch to the overall experience. A special shoutout to our server, Suhaib, who was genuinely amazing; his attentiveness and willingness to engage made our dining experience even more enjoyable. I can’t recommend ,enough for anyone looking for authentic Pakistani food. I’m 100% coming back for more, and I’ll be sharing videos and pictures to showcase the deliciousness! 🍽️✨

Amazing food! I am from California where the desi food is competition is fierce. This means that the food also has to be up to par. This place was amazing, Shoaib was awesome, and the food was excellent. I frequent Wisconsin often and I will definitely be back. Come give this place a try!
