Imagine sitting in the cinema, watching a movie and eating a proper meal at the same time. Movie cravings are real and popcorn sometimes just doesn’t cut it. Many cinemas in America offer this service and the menus they have are pretty mouth-watering. Lekin desi khana is desi khana, nothing else quite hits the spot.

Kumail Nanijani, a Pakistani American comedian, is here to solve that problem with this awesome cinema menu he’s offering in Austin, Texas. 

 

Kumail has written and starred in a movie based on the true story of how he met his Amreeki wife, Emily and it’s getting SO MUCH LOVE

The movie, ‘The Big Sick’ is about him falling in love with her, and how they bring their two, very different families together.

Biryani fever is everywhere

Potato Naans are pretty drool-worthy too

Why, yes. We do love our aaloos 

 

If you’re feeling slightly hungry right about now, you know what to do: buy a ticket and head on over to Amreeka (that was a joke…)
