My hubby and I were hungry for Indian food and we looked forward to coming here. Our first time…read morecoming on a Sunday and it was not busy. The gentleman took our order right away at the counter. We ordered Karachi chicken, 1 quarter leg of tandoori chicken, Saag Paneer, garlic butter Naan and basmati rice. As always the Karahi chicken is bursting with flavors. The spices were spot on. I love the cardamom seeds, ginger, tomato sauce, turmeric, I mean I can go on, lol. All these spices does wonder to your health. The tandoori chicken was moist, very tasty with lots of umami flavors. The Saag paneer is one of our favorite and goes well with all the dishes. It actually helps calm the spiciness on the Karahi chicken. It is well made and we enjoyed every bit of it. The Garlic butter naan was crunchy and savory and great with the Karahi chicken sauce and the paneer. We almost ate everything. Only had a little Karahi chicken left and Naan. Yes, we were very full!!! Love that feeling, lol. It's always a delight coming here. My hubby and I are always satisfied. We have been coming here for a while now and the flavors and consistency of the food is always spot on. Until next time, I look forward to our next Pakwan meal!!!

I came here one weekend to do takeout for dinner. The food travels well. I ordered the:…read more Chicken momo which are Nepali dumplings filled with chicken, and spices with two sauces, one that is not spicy and one that is. The dumplings are pretty large and good amount of filling, a little bland without the sauces to dip in. Lamb pharsi - slow cooked boneless lamb meat in a spiced sauce with butternut squash. Got it medium spice which not too spicy, really nice flavor. Also got it with side of naan since it comes with rice or naan. The naan was made to order when I came to pick my order up they were getting it ready. Kukhura Bhanta - slow cooked chicken & eggplant with a sauce served with choice of basmati, brown or plain rice or naan. Got the basmati rice which paired well. Chicken was very tender and could tell it had been cooked for some time. With what was ordered, surprisingly the meal was not heavy at all. Good flavor with the dishes.

This fairly new restaurant is super cute, cozy and had that authentic vibe upon entry. We were greeted warmly, then scored the awesome super sized table near the window because of our party of 6. Overall, the place felt homey and I appreciated that we were able to have a lively conversation without having music or typical restaurant noise to compete with. Our order: The Momo platter $17 Explosive chicken $14.95 Sherpa mix grill $23.70 Kukhura lamb tulsi $20.95 Chicken makhmali $20.95 Shrimp biryani $20.95 Dudh chiya $3.95 Mango lassi $4.95 18% gratuity was automatically added, which brought our total bill to $165.22 Portion wise, I have to say each dish was small and between the 6 of us, we were really only able to get a few bites of each dish. I also found that most of the flavors were not very strong, as I'm typically used to. I do have to admit that our party had request mild in the heat level but even the garlic naan was pretty bland and it didn't taste or smell like garlic, even though we could visibly see lots of garlic flakes on the naan. My dudh chiya was also lacking in tea essence, ginger, cloves and cardamom -- basically tasted like steamed milk... I wish I was more impressed as I did appreciate the warm service and overall ambiance.

For example, The biryani is so flavorful, with a lot of extra adds on that makes it delicious. Way more thoughtful than other places.

A great time!

Our total came out to around $230 including tax and tip, which felt reasonable for the amount of food we ordered. The restaurant was pretty busy during dinner, but we were seated after about a 20 minute wait, which wasn't bad at all. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered the Goat Cheese Naan, Roti Calamari, Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Game Hen, Kale Fritters, and Gosht Biryani. My favorite dish was actually the Kale Fritters, which surprised me since I usually gravitate toward meat dishes. They were perfectly crispy, and the sauce had a great balance of sweet and savory flavors.My least favorite was the Tandoori Game Hen--it had a lot of bones and was a bit difficult to eat. Overall, I really enjoyed the meal and the variety of dishes we tried.

Saag paneer was not as flavorful as I would've liked. Did not go for seconds on this, but I did go for seconds (and thirds) on the goat and chicken. The green chutney was spicy and fresh and so perfect actually!! Dipped naan and samosa in it. The naan was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside; nice and buttered up too! We asked for three orders (heh), came out piping hot. Yum!!! The fish pakora was okay, had to dip in chutney sauce to eat it. The samosas were a little bit too oily and kind of had an oily aftertaste to me? In general, the food here is not as spicy or flavorful as I would've liked it to be. Parking on the main street can be a bit difficult, but we found parking easily on an adjacent street (Portola I think?). Very clean restaurant in a nice part of the city. While we're on ambiance/space, the bathroom was like average clean lol, what you'd expect at any run-of-the-mill place. Okay wait - here's the kicker.

There was a bottle of water on each table. The food came out in three pretty silver bowls. The nice metal bowls added to the experience. The chicken tikka masala was the exact right amount of spice. Not too hot, not too mild. I could taste the butter and the chicken was perfectly cooked and moist. The rice was rice. It was exactly what I expected and cooked fine. The cheese garlic naan tho... good lord I could eat 100 orders of it. Insanely good. So much butter, cheese, garlic, and hot out of the oven (or wherever). I would absolutely order it again. I spent about $30 on everything (16 for entree, 3 for rice, like 5 for naan, then tip). For $30, I was stuffed and it felt like a great value. Ambiance was nice. I already mentioned the bowls, but the music was just Indian bangers. I didn't know any of the songs, but two of them in particular were so good that I wish I had asked what they were. Like electronic Indian party music. So good. Will definitely go again when I have time to kill in the area again.

The food is delicious- my favorites are the Gobi Manchurian and as of today, the Chana Masala. The only thing I've gotten there that I didn't love are the salads, I think they could use a little finesse (seasoning mostly), but I live the huge menu with tons of options, many of which are vegetarian.

The restaurant was empty when we went on a Sunday afternoon so I think that aspect of the ambience was not great.

And lastly, always a bonus when the bathroom looks nice and is stocked so that was good.

I can't comment on ambience as I have only gotten delivery but I've drive by many times and it looks nice. I've gotten other food in the past and it was always solid but nothing too memorable. What I really enjoyed was the onion kulcha- pretty big, stuffed with onion pieces, and soft - and the lamb korma. The lamb korma is rich and full of nicely cooked lamb pieces, caramelized onions, and tons of flavor. It is a sweeter dish (I also got it mild) but that is expected for korma with the onions and cashews. I would for sure get both again. The veggie pakoras were also a highlight- nicely crunchy and served with excellent mint and tamarind chutneys. The saag paneer is not your typical saag paneer and much more spinach forward with I kind of liked. It had a ton of big pieces of paneer which I appreciates. Not my favorite saag paneer I've ever had but good and definitely a more interesting version- I generally liked the fact that you could taste the spinach. Chicken tikka masala was fine, I have had better but not bad. Aloo tiki appetizer was a little small but okay- I would opt for the pakora over it for sure. The naan is good too, again not my favorite but a good portion and nothing to complain about. Overall it's somewhere around 4 stars for me- generous portions, seemingly solid ingredients, and everything was tasty. All the food was nicely packed too and made for great leftovers.
