Amazing food and the best service. Butter chicken was absolutely delicious and the garlic naan was the highlight of the night. Highly recommend for a comforting and tasty meal! read more

The food here is excellent! We had the choley bhature, goat qorma, chicken samosas, mango lassi, and karak chai. Everything was amazing! The decor is adorable and our server, Aman, was so nice. We happened to be there at the same time as the owner and she was super sweet. Would absolutely come back again to try the other menu items! It's so nice to have a great Halal restaurant in the South Bay! We found parking in a lot behind the restaurant, with the lot entrance off of Meredith Ave. read more

Meh. Good effort. Food was good, albeit a bit dry. May need to neaten up the place. read more

From the moment I walked in, this place completely exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance--inviting, clean, and thoughtfully designed without feeling pretentious. Whether you're here for a casual meal or a special occasion, it just works. The food is where this restaurant truly shines. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, clearly made with high-quality ingredients and real attention to detail. Their niharis, kabobs, rotis, halwa puri and chicken tandoori were exceptional! Portions were generous without being overwhelming, and everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. Service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming--knowledgeable about the menu, quick to offer recommendations, and always checking in at just the right moments without hovering. It made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Pricing felt very fair for the quality of food and service provided. You absolutely get your money's worth here, and then some. Overall, this restaurant delivers on every level--food, service, ambiance, and value. It's rare to find a place that does everything this well. I'll definitely be back and will be recommending it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Amazing non vegan and vegan options! The staff was also very knowledgeable of vegan options (I am my family isn't). Thank you for a delicious lunch! We will definitely be back! read more

I have ordered takeout several times and food is favorful and tasty. I love their boneless grilled chicken tikka, and veggie and vegan curries. Their vegan Tika masala is one of the best I've had. It's creamy without any diary. Qorma is a distinct dish different from the rest but can be bit oily. Rice pudding is delicious. Their saffron chai is my favorite and I sometimes do a takeout just for that. Service is courteous but can be a bit slow during dine in on busy days. read more

Food was excellent. Authentic food to explore. great service will come again to enjoy this place read more

This place has a lot of potential. Great ambiance. Good service and good food. Started with the Chapli kebabs. They do not bring the sauces out till we were done but the kebabs have a great taste and did not need the sauces. The chicken biryani has a nice taste but beware of the garam masala. It's hot. So if you have sensitivities be careful. Did the nihari which also has a lot of garam masala but not as traditional like Karachi nihari. Did the keer for dessert which was nice. I am hopeful they will consider the lower use of garam masala. read more

Great place in Willow Glen! We love Indian food and loved the Pakistani infused cuisine here. We have tried several plates and everything has been beyond flavorful and amazing to try! Great change up from the traditional food options off Lincoln Ave. definitely a must try! read more

Veg and non-veg items are great. Service was good. Two things to watch out for and reasons for 3 stars: they charge a 2.1% Platform convenience fee, and their tip recommendations are based on food + platform convenience fee + sales tax. Neither of these are customer friendly. read more

Food and service were amazing! The ambience was also great. Should definitely get the butter chicken!

No one greeted me, multiple employees saw me and didn't ask if I wanted to be seated. Maybe the food is good. Maybe it's not. I'm not sure if I'll go back. read more

So good! Cleared all our dishes and such a great ambiance. Best dish by far was the chicken malai boti! Highly recommend read more

Super nice staff! Very courteous and kind. The chicken biryani was good. However not a a fan of the paneer tikka masala. It had SO much oil (see pic) and I unsuccessfully tried to remove the oil using paper towels to no avail and had to junk it. Too oily 10 minutes Supper nice read more

My mom is from Karachi originally and has been here for over 50 years. currently she is staying in a rehabilitation center in San Jose but she won't eat the food there. I found this spot online and she couldn't believe it was specifically Karachi style! She is so happy tha so she has me order food from this restaurant almost every single day. I've never heard her compliment Any restaurant food like this. She says she hasn't had such good Pakistani food in so many years. She asks for the Nihari now every day. If I ever get to drive to San Jose, I would love to try their vegan tikka masala. That sounds really good. So grateful for easy ordering and delivering. read more

Best custom service ever, very hospitable. Will be back soon again, you won't regret trying this place!

We enjoyed their brunch of halwa poori. Good taste and friendly service. Buffet looks good too

Ordered our food for take out. They said it would take 25 minutes for pick up. Took an hour to get our food. Do not recommend for take out!

Authentic ingredients and family recipes!The aromas will welcome you and your taste buds to an Indian/Pakistani adventure: truly flavorful samosas with aromatic spices, a perfect garlic naan with crisp edges and tender layers, and special dishes like aloo tiki goat cutlets and a Peshawari chapli kabob. Paired with a house made mango lassi or a Karak chai, these dishes helped us visit India and Pakistan in a single night. We enjoyed every bite of these savory delights! read more

Amazing authentic food and great service. Highly recommend to all who love real authentic food. The staff is great and really nice people. Karahi chicken with Garlic naan, Chicken seekh kebab with green mint chutney was my order and it was the best food I ever had in the Bay Area. read more

I enjoy Pakistani food in general. Was excited to try this new restaurant. Pakistani goat recipes are generally great so we ordered Spinach Goat curry with roti and Halwa Poori Platter. It was a great meal overall. The spinach goat curry was just amazing! Goat well done and perfectly spicy ( it is on the spicier end, but meat dishes taste better that way). Didn't sense a lot of cream in the curry, but it did seem a littleon the oiler side. My husband enjoyed the halwa poori platter a lot. The chole that came with the platter did seem very bland though. Great ambiance too. Would like to try more read more

Food was delicious with a good amount of vegetarian and vegan options. The naan was thin and slightly crispy and complimented the entrees nicely. The Turkish soda was nice and refreshing and helped offsite that little bit of spice in the Dahl. The business is fairly new in and in the very walkable Willow Glen main street. The restaurant is comfortable and the service was pleasant and efficient. We had enough for leftovers the next day and it tasted just as good if not better. read more

Large menu with a lot of delicious options. food was really delicious, servers were very kind and welcoming, definitely will be eating again

We did takeout for dinner. The taste is very westernized, maybe because of the neighborhood its in. It was unremarkable when the name suggests more authentic tasting food. I'd skip this for Indian takeout next time. read more

Authentic and delicious! Very nice waiter and homey ambiance. Favorite was the chicken malai boti!

We started with samosa which was okay, but very tasty paired with the raw onion salad and chutney. We then got chole bhature which was soooo yummy. The veg biryani was a little too salty but the caramelized onions helped. I wish it could be paired with raita. The one host/waiter was very attentive to our needs. read more

Had Nihari, Biryani, kababs, Naan. Everything was really great and the service was excellent. Would definitely recommend this place.

We found a gem Pakistani food here in Willow Glen , their recipes are unique no additives in it. Must try is their beef nihari and Royal chicken korma ( Pakistani wedding receipe) . Service was very good read more

Ordered the bhel puri as an appetizer and then the palak paneer and chicken quorma with garlic naan. The garlic naan was the best, but the palak paneer was a def miss for me. Service is ok, place is quiet- not sure why restaurant was relatively empty during peak lunch hours. I hope they're able to turn it around because they have good potential. read more

Finally decided to give this spot a try after having walked by it so many times. I love Indian food so I had high hopes for this place. I got the Haji's chicken qorma, saffron chai, garlic and butter naan's. My sister got ordered their chicken tikka pizza and their salam cola. I appreciated the disclaimer on the menu saying that everything is cooked from scratch so the food may take a little longer than usual to come out. The chicken qorma was good. Could've had a bit more chicken but no complaints. I liked that it tasted clean and didn't leave a strong smell of curry on me afterwards. Both the garlic and butter naan's were great! Super fluffy and buttery. Loved them! The saffron chai just tasted like regular chai with saffron sprinkled on top so it didn't really change the flavor too much. You're better off just ordering a regular chai. My chicken qorma took about 20 minutes to come out which is reasonable taking their disclaimer into account. My sister's chicken tikka pizza took over 1 hour to come out. By the time it came out, I had finished my entire meal and we were still waiting a good 20 minutes after. If we had been a couple on a date, it would've been super awkward with how long the pizza took to come out. When it came out, the served brought ketchup with it which we initially thought was weird but after tasting a slice of the pizza it was the cheesiest most flavorless pizza I've ever tasted in my life. I'm guessing the ketchup was supposed to complement the pizza since it had no flavor. Nothing about it tasted Indian. I took two bites and couldn't eat it anymore due to how bad it was and felt bad she waited that long for an awful pizza. Service and prices were decent considering the area. Overall, it was nice to finally try this place but I don't think I'll be back.

Hajis never disappoint. Tonight I tried the "All Day Brunch". The kids got the chicken tika masala and the vegan paneer. The flavors and textures that come out of Hajis kitchen are amazing. The butter naan and garlic naan are perfect complements to the meal. My daughter said, "Finally; good vegan food in Willow Glen!" Our server was prompt and friendly. The place was empty when we arrived but started filling up about 6 PM. Hajis is not fast food. Everything is cooked to order so plan on ordering a Chai and relaxing while your meal is being crafted. Since it is individually prepared, feel free to ask for a customized meal. More spice? Less heat? Add chicken? No problem. We were out the door for $62 for three meals and 2 sides of naan. We had leftovers for lunch tomorrow. It was a great dining experience. read more

I just come from this place and all of the staff was really nice. I ordered garlic naan, butter chicken, and rice. I ordered the food medium spicy and in my opinion it still wasn't spicy enough so I might have to try moderate spicy next time. My only complaint from this place is that the food is too good and I wanted more when I was already full. I'm definitely coming back to try the tikka masala. read more

We will not be returning. The food and the takeout service need a complete overhaul. - WHAT WE ORDERED - Mint lemonade It's dried mint, not fresh, sprinkled into a bad lemonade mix. Hajis Special Naan What was so special? A flavorless bread with sesame seeds. Garlic Naan The thickest, fluffiest naan I've ever eaten--thats not bad necessarily, but it's not what I expect from naan. It was also lacking garlic flavor. Paneer Tikka Masala My toddler enjoyed a few bites. But the adults found it to lack depth of flavor. Also oily and separated. Goat Qorma We pulled it out of the bag and we're met with a thick layer of grease. Again, lacked flavor. It was just greasy meat. It obviously had been prepared much earlier in the day and sat under a heat lamp to cause such intense separation. Peshawari Chaplin Kabob Simply not good. I hate to be so harsh. Out of the three adults at the table, only one took a second bite of this dish. -SERVICE- While the staff were polite, but their organization was lacking. We waited 15 minutes past the estimated pick up window for our takeout order. The lemonade seemed to be the thing holding them up. We found that we were short one order of rice when we got home. read more
