    Super yummy aloo naan and garlic Naan!
    Angela J.

    Such a wonderful restaurant. I stumbled on this restaurant when I took ceramic classes at the near by studio and I am so glad I did. This is a total family style restaurant and you'll need to grab your own plates, napkins, silverware, water and cups but that just adds to the overall family feel. They offer Free Chai tea with dine in meals which is pretty amazing! The food is also really tasty and is the best deal in town, our family of five can enjoy a wonderful meal and it doesn't break the bank, how they keep their prices so low is beyond me because they do not skimp on quality or quantity it's pretty amazing! Try this place you won't be disappointed!

    This is hands down my favorite Indian restaurant--not just in the Concord area, but arguably anywhere. Last night, we ordered takeout and got Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, Bhindi Masala, Mixed Vegetable Korma, Aloo Gobi, and Palak Paneer. The standout was definitely the Chicken Tikka Masala--it was absolutely rich, and flavorful. I also equally loved the Aloo Gobi--the cauliflower and potatoes were cooked perfectly, and the savory spices made the dish shine without needing any meat. Bhindi Masala was another hit for me. I know the "slimy" texture of okra can be off-putting for some, but I didn't mind it at all. The only dish I wasn't too crazy about was the Mixed Vegetable Korma. It felt like a "kitchen sink" mix of veggies, including ones I'm not particularly fond of like bell peppers, peas, and green beans. While the curry flavor itself was decent, it didn't stand out compared to the rest. I'd probably skip that one next time. Overall, though, it was an incredibly satisfying meal. I'll definitely be ordering from this place again.

    Definitely in the Top Five of my favorite Bay Area restaurants. Last Friday was the fifth time I've eaten here, and each time the food has been straight fire. I know very little about Pakistani or Indian food, and part of the reason why is most restaurants that serve those cuisines are ridiculously expensive. I have no why their prices are so high. But so often they are prohibitively expensive. At least to me. But somehow Anarkali Concord is able to serve up outstanding dishes at a very reasonable price. The menu items are so attractively priced, one is tempted to try everything on the menu And Lord knows I'm never one to resist temptation. I'm all about trying everything on this menu. And surely I will, visit by visit. This most recent visit we got the Veggie Korma ($10) and Chicken Tikka Masala ($11) like we always do, and tried the Shrimp Biryani ($13) and the Lamb Chops Tandori ($15). We also got some of Anarkali's truly wonderful Garlic Naan and an order of Basmati Rice. What a feast! Every dish was bursting with flavor. The food was so good the conversation we had been engaged in before the food was served slowly died. By the time we were two or three bites in, the table was quiet except for one or another of us muttering some version of "got damn this food is good!" every few minutes. Absolutely impossible to identify a favorite dish, not just because they were uniformly excellent, but also because of how well all our choices worked together. My guess is you could pick any other four dishes and achieve the same result. All the menu items compliment each other. I'm going to test that Idea next time I visit. i'm going to blindfold myself and pick a random item from four different sections of the menu. That's how much I like this restaurant and how confident I am in their recipes. I highly recommend Anarkali Concord! Really delicious Pakistani food at bargain prices. Mikey C says: did I mention the FREE serve-yourself chai? It's so damn good!

    I like the chicken tikka masala from Pak Food. I had it as a naan wrap before, which I highly…read morerecommend! The naan is pillowy and chewy. But the wrap isn't the sturdiest because they are generous with the portions. So I opted to have it over rice to lessen the chance of getting my white shirt stained (I can be a messy eater). The chicken is incredibly tender! A piece of chicken I tried to pick up kept falling apart. I eventually found a piece that can handle the fork. The sauce was super flavorful from the tomato base, and had a lot of depth from the spices. I added a samosa because I never pass a samosa. It lost its crunch from the day, but it still was tasty. The wrap had a good bite and the potato filling was soft. I think it had enough earthy flavors that it didn't need any sauce. Service is really friendly. And because they're part of Heart of the City Farmers Market, the seating area can be a little chaotic as long lines wrap around it. But there's plenty of seating, though not enough umbrellas for those rare sunny days. It's one of the better food options at farmers market. The quality has been consistent through the years I've ordered food from here.

We brought it up to the waitress, and the only thing offered was a $2 discount -- which honestly didn't make a difference considering how small the portion was.

The first visit, I got the Amritsari fish pakora appetizer and chicken biriyani. Lots of food color on the fish pakora, which tasted fine otherwise. Interestingly, they use mustard seeds in the batter - never, ever have I seen anyone do this on the pakora, but oh well. The coriander/mint chutney that came with the pakora had no salt. The bigger disaster was the chicken biriyani. It was just edible, and I'll leave it at that. On my second visit months later, I got the Goan fish curry and the keema kulcha. Verdict - they definitely are not authentic. Just because you use coconut milk in the fish curry, it doesn't become Goan. They just made up the recipe and call it Goan. The keema kulcha was fine - lots of minced lamb filling, and pretty filling on its own. Ambience looked proper, and the place looked clean at first blush (but I haven't done a sit-down meal here). I taught myself a long time ago to completely avoid Indian food places in the Walnut Creek - Lafayette neighborhoods. For whatever reason, I finally decided to try this place (in some 17 years of living in Walnut Creek). This place also confirms my previous experiences. Will skip this place for good. And leave it to the locals who seem to enjoy the food better.
