ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I have never understood the hype of Garlic Naan until this delicious meal; it glittered with the butter, was both crunchy and soft, and made me understand what other restaurants' Garlic Naans strive to be. Besides that, I ordered Paneer Tikka Masala and it was so good it was hard to stop eating even after I was full LOL. That being said, the place is takeout/catering-focused so keep in mind it doesn't really resemble a typical restaurant. They serve from a counter and dish the food in plastic containers, on a tray, etc. But don't let that distract you from the fact that this is a 5-star gourmet meal that Gordon Ramsay would be proud of. They give generous portions on the entrée as well. I can only speak to the dine-in/takeout, not the catering, but I assume if they nail one they must nail the other. Worthy competitor to other Indian restaurants in the area, including Apna Swad and Jashan by Dhaba.
Oh men amazing catering by pakwaan at my 50th birthday party for more then 300 people, all the ingredients were fresh, I don’t think so called moguls can even come closer to food taste and pricing by rahman from pakwaan catering.
I’m a little confused why the rating is not higher, because i’m happy to report that we’ve tried different dishes about 3-4 times now, and each time was pretty good! So far we’ve eaten lamb dishes and paneer dishes. All have been delicious. The only thing is that the person who answers the calls doesn’t know the differences of taste in each curry.
We randomly selected this place after finding that our original restaurant choice was closed. That change in plans ended up being a really good thing. We arrived with wine and intended to eat there despite this primarily being a take-out place. The owner was very accommodating and friendly to us. The food (especially the tandoori mushrooms) was delicious, fresh and perfectly spiced. We will definitely be back!
Love this place. Great food, buffet is one of the best in the area (a lot of choices here as well). One of the few that will regularly serve goat (if that's your thing) in the buffet which is rare to see. In addition, the options on much of the vegetarian dishes change quite often which is a huge plus to try different variations of dishes. The interior is well kept, and the service is great. Definitely our go to for our indian fix.
Came here with my 2 year old son, to get some food to go. Very friendly staff, gave my son some complimentary ice cream, which he loved. The food tasted really good and authentic. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for some good Indian cuisine. I will be a repeat customer.
The service here is absolutely excellent. My ba does not eat onion/garlic and they made sure to serve her hot and fresh Jain food. We had the best cheese pizza so far in India as if it was made from an Indian food truck. Sohan Singh, the service representative, was so kind and helpful during breakfast and dinner. Definitely recommend coming here for fresh clean food which is hard to find in India.
