Pakwan was founded in 1999 by two partners, Khalid and Shahbaz, who thought it was time to realize their ambition.
Pakwan, their concept of an authentic and traditional Bay Area Pakistani Indian rest…
Chicken Tikka Masala: I was shocked that this serving for $19 is a 16 oz container - felt very small and only had about a dozen small chunks of chicken. Had it tasting amazing I could have forgiven this, but the medium wasn't spicy at all, heat or flavor wise.
Naan: Okay, I've had better.

Consistent high quality "street" food, always the same every time, no ups and downs in taste and spices. The tandoori lamb chops are the best, the Pakwan eggplant is a must, so is Chicken Tikka Masala, Fish Tandoori (they use swai or white fish). Also., the portions are very generous. Highly recommended.

Very consistent quality of food - the quality, flavor is always the same. No extreme ups and downs, so very dependable. Everything I have sampled is excellent, esp Tandoori Lamp Chops, Tandoori Fish, Chicken Tikka Masala; however, my fav is the Pakwan Roasted Eggplant - a great variation of Bengan Bharta.

All dishes are fresh, fully flavored and in generous portion. I've first ordered from Pakwan in 2006 in Hayward, and the flavors of their dishes remain the same both in high quality and portion in all locations throughout the years. There's no alternative to Pakwan, and it's simply the best.
