This is one of the few location that has a fish curry. The food was more tasty than the Fremont location.

Love this place ❤️ food is delicious, large portions, decent price Every time we are in SF, this is a must. They give you a number, but you still need to get your own food!
I used to come here all the time with my family. We’d order a whole bunch of different dishes and my favorite is always their chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, garlic naan, and goat Karahi.
This time we got the tandoori chicken, tikka masala , beef kebob, and garlic naan & aloo naan.
Everything is always so flavorful & you can really taste all the spices they put into their dish. Flavors are very bold and aromatic. I love the smokey and earthy taste of the tandoori chicken. I love the rich and creamy sauce of the tikka masala, just one con is the chicken is slightly to dry. Their naans are so big which is rare, definitely can feed 2-3 people!

If you’re looking for authentic halal Indian and Pakistani food in San Francisco, Pakwan Restaurant on Ocean Avenue is a must-try! I ordered the lamb biryani and a mango lassi—the biryani was rich, aromatic, and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice (a bit spicy 🥵 for my taste, but still amazing). The mango lassi was creamy and refreshing, perfect to balance the heat.
The food is halal, the portions are generous, and the service is quick and friendly. Whether you’re dining in or ordering takeout, Pakwan delivers consistently great quality. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic halal South Asian cuisine in San Francisco!

🌟 A Rare 5-Star from Me! I rarely leave Google reviews—and when I do, it’s usually when I’m unhappy with a service. But today, I’m making an exception.
I just ordered food from this place and… wow. Hands down, some of the best Indian-Pakistani food I’ve ever had in the US. The flavors were authentic, the portions were generous, and every bite reminded me of home.
I’m from Punjab, right near the Pakistan border, and I’ve often joked about wanting to cross over just for the food. Well, today, it felt like I actually did. It was slightly different from typical Indian food—but in the best way possible. Rich, flavorful, comforting.
I tried just two or three dishes, but they were absolutely delicious. I’m sure the rest of the menu is just as amazing. If you’re even thinking about trying this place—do it. You won’t regret it.
