What to expect

Dhaba & Delights is a family-run Pakistani and Desi restaurant at T. Ševčenkos g. 16A in Vilnius, west of the centre, and one of the city's go-to addresses for certified Halal food. The cooking is freshly prepared and reliably home-style, so it's worth expecting a 10–20 minute wait at the table; the reward is warm, hospitable service and dishes that genuinely taste like a home-cooked meal. Portions are generous and prices are kept budget-friendly.

The menu runs through Pakistani and Desi classics, with biryani (a fragrant spiced rice dish) the standout, alongside chicken karahi, chicken shinwari, mango lassi and a traditional cup of chai to finish. There's a well-rated business lunch special that regulars call a great deal for the portion size, plus weekly beef specials — qorma on Wednesdays and chilli on Fridays. Dine-in, online ordering for delivery and event catering are all available, making it as handy for a relaxed meal as it is for a group order.
