Pakistani Restaurants near Palo Alto, CA

“Affordable Michelin-recommended spot in Palo Alto that’s perfect for a casual meal.

Parking was easy with free street parking. The vibe is fast-casual with limited indoor seating, but there’s plenty of outdoor seating with umbrellas, including overflow tables set up along the sidewalk.

You order and pay at the counter, get a number, and the food is brought to your table.

Everything we tried was delicious. The grilled chicken boti sizzler and chicken tikka thali both had incredibly tender, flavorful chicken. The garlic naan was warm and fluffy, and the mango lassi was thick, refreshing, and not overly sweet. Portions were generous for the price.

Fun fact: Zareen’s was founded by Karachi native Zareen Khan, who even bought a house in Menlo Park to rent to her employees at an affordable rate because of Silicon Valley’s high cost of living. It’s easy to see why this flagship location earned Michelin Guide recognition.“

“Zareen’s is my go-to spot whenever I’m craving flavorful, high-quality meat. My favorites are the beef chapli kebab, chicken tikka, and their newest addition—the chicken chargha—which is easily one of the best things on the menu. Every dish is packed with flavor, and you really can’t go wrong here.

It’s the perfect combination of comforting, satisfying food and incredibly delicious protein. The restaurant does get quite busy during peak meal times, so if you’d rather skip the wait, I’d recommend ordering takeout or visiting during off-peak hours.“

“This is a nice go to spot but be warned it's not your avg sit down dinning area. Consider more of a ghost kitchen with a name attached. They offer alot of the standard food items but are restricted to certain days for more popular menu items. Service is friendly and fast.“

“one of the best zinger burgers in bay area.“

“Nihari and naan of that restaurant is super great!“

“Delicious burgers with options to suit all tastes. They have beef, chicken, and veggie patties as well as some without Pakistani spices for picky eaters like my daughter. They also have loaded quesadillas with fries and their signature spicy sauce which are amazing. They also have a good variety of shakes. We’ve had the mango and the Oreo Never Boreo.“

“Hey Haji ur food is superb. Ambience is Good. But my issue is tht near ur restaurant there is a physical office of meta , plz take my complain to them. They keep on suspending my account for no reason 😭, neither they give me any warnings . I m fed up, there was almost no violation. And I can't contact them as whole system is automated. Thanks brah“
