“Always delicious Indian food! My family and I always come here when we are in the neighborhood. Maude and Rosemarie are very gracious hosts. I highly recommend this restaurant seven days a week. :)“

“Good cheap eats. Sort of fun to get your own chai, as much as you want.“

“Yesterday I had the pleasure of walking into this family owned establishment, The environment was clean, and the people were very kind. The menu was exceptional with great prices. I got the chicken Marcella, the naan, and the salmon which was the daily special. The chicken Masala was perfectly spiced. I got the mild because I can't eat spicy food. I dipped the naan in it and it tasted perfect. The naan was big and fresh and its own separate bag, so I was able to take it home and munch on it later now the salmon was delicious. It was super crispy and juicy on the inside, and the seasoning was complementary to the fish. it was wonderful to be able to talk to the Chef and get to know the people that cooked my food. The chef that's been working there. He's on the establishment for a while and he's been cooking for over 40 years. He also told me that he is from New York, which definitely shows in his food because this Indian Pakistani restaurant is definitely authentic. I will drive an hour and a half to come back here again. Definitely would recommend them for Catering or a nice dinner date.“

“Falooda and I must say that it was so rich in taste , flavours & very authentic.“

“Delicious food at a very good price. Highly recommend.“

“Pakwan was really good! Everything we ordered was delicious, fresh, and incredibly flavorful, and the food came out quickly and on time. The ambience is fantastic as well—it is a beautiful, inviting space and makes for a really enjoyable dining experience.

The only thing to keep in mind is that it is more of a self-service setup when it comes to the extras. You grab your own silverware, plates, napkins, drinks, and to-go boxes. It was not a major issue for us, but it is helpful to know what to expect going in.

Overall, we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere and would definitely come back!“

“Coworkers and I were actually looking for a different restaurant, got lost, decided to eat here and I am so glad we did because this place is DELICIOUS. The naan bread was SO good, crispy and chewy and fresh. I had the veggie korma, my coworkers had chicken curry dishes, we all had rice, everyone was delighted. I got a mango lasse to go and it too was fantastic. Our waiter was very nice too and we were served quickly. Total stroke of luck to wind up in front of this place, since we all want to go again soon.“

“great food & atmosphere! 5 stars!!“

“I got Karahi Gosht and it was authentic and flavorful. Serving quantity was decent as well. I live in the South Bay and most places over there don't get this dish right. 5* from me, for the Karahi Gosht and Naan. Service understandably took some time because they make it fresh and piping hot. And I went there in between performances of standup comedy at Cobb's next door.“

“This restaurant food is much more better than other Pakistani Indian restaurants all around the US. Chicken biryani & seekh kabob was so delicious authentic Pakistani flavor specially the Tea which is so so so good like Pakistani famous Pathan’s tea and we never had an experience before this in US. The best thing is they make in front of us so the quality of the food is so fresh and yummy like your own kitchen.“

“Delicious food with great service. They had some unique Pakistani foods I’ve never tried before like green chicken boti which was very tender and had a nice spicy taste with I believe a hint of mint in it. Everything was halal, fresh and made to order.“

“I highly recommend Lahore di khushboo for an authentic culinary experience! The food is incredibly flavorful, reflecting the rich heritage of Lahore's cuisine. Each dish I've tried has been delicious, and the portions are generous. The ambiance is vibrant, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family. If you're looking for great food at affordable prices, this is the place to be“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! It’s a bit on the pricey side, but totally worth it for the amazing flavors and the amount of food. The saag paneer and cheese naan are my absolute favorites — I can’t get enough! I’ve been three times now, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“Perfect for a drink and a snack before a show at the Fox, or for any night. Thoughtfully crafted original cocktail menu, and delicious bites of American fare with a Pakistani twist, fantastic ambiance, flattering date night lighting, music at the perfect volume, friendly staff and verdant plants. One of my fave spots in Oakland!“

“Absolutely stunned at the quality of food here! 5/5 stars for everything. My husband and I ended up getting the pani puri shots, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, beef brisket pizza. For drinks we had a dragonfruit mocktail and chai. Taste was the gold standard, and service was super attentive. Shahil is such a humble and hardworking guy, doing great things for the San Fran area and halal food scene all over.“

Excellent experience dealing with the restaurant owner Ron. All of his staff made us feel very welcomed and were very accommodating during our event. Food was very delicious and our guests complimented it very highly. Would highly recommend this place for it's authentic Indian/Pakistani food!!“

“Do not order on their website that’s linked here, I went in after ordering online pickup to them not having my order, yet I still was charged. They made it for me anyways, but I also noticed the price of the food I ordered was more expensive than the actual prices I see on their menu.“
