Al-medinah - Short Pump

I ordered dessert from this restaurant and found out they were out of rice pudding, so I opted for the rasmalai instead. I was pleasantly surprised by its deliciousness! In fact, I liked it so much that I returned to order more before leaving Richmond. I highly recommend trying the rasmalai!

I wasn't particularly impressed with the food I had, but I have to say the portions were huge. You certainly get your money's worth here.

Everything here is halal and absolutely delicious! If you speak Bangla or Urdu, I highly recommend chatting with the staff; I've had some of the best conversations with them. They are incredibly friendly and always offer me more food and drinks than what I paid for, even when I try to decline. If you’re of South Asian descent and longing for the flavors of home and the warmth of your culture, this place is a must-visit. It feels just like being at my uncle and aunt's house in Bangladesh, enjoying a comforting home-cooked meal.

Bad experience, my first experience there I ordered goat biryani and got a large plate of rice and a piece of bone. Never again.

Great chicken Biryani. Family back was generous in size, tasty , and contained a ton of chicken (bone in).
