The service is okay, it's fast casual, nothing fancy. The food is great, super filling and tasty. The tikka masala came with more sauce than chicken, which I enjoy. It does not come with basmati rice, so you do have to order it. I also got a goat biriyani, it was okay but I think I'd prefer chicken.

Was in the neighborhood for some work with a friend and visited this restaurant for lunch. I must say that it was the most delicious lunch I have had in a while. The flavors of the seekh kabab and chicken tikka masala were amazing. Top it up with garlic naan and you are in food paradise!

Their Saturday lunch special, the halwa Puri, is just the best. This is what your plate should look like after. lol.
Our meals were okay not outstanding. Restaurant was slammed so maybe that impact.

Food was great but service and atmosphere I was really disappointed in! The cashier let us stare at the Today’s specials forever before she showed us there was a menu. We dined in and took a number placard only to find out we had to get back up to get our food. The whole vibe of the restaurant just seemed empty and a lack of energy.
I ordered in person and dined in, and when my order of chicken biryani was announced ready to pick up, I was shocked by the size of this dish. The plate was heaped over. Even better was the fact there were chunks of chicken throughout the dish. The large portion size for the price point is an excellent value. The interior is nice, clean, and minimalistic. There is plenty of seating for dining in, but it's also conveniently located for takeout, as there is plenty of street parking.

This establishment has become one of my favorites, the food is delicious, I give it four stars because I found a piece of blue glove inside my nan
Ordered paneer tikka masala - and it felt like they just reheated a ready-to-eat packet.Naan was fresh and tasty.

Indian food and Pakistani food feel almost similar, and Pakwan doesn't skimp on ingredients and has plenty of spices, so it was the first time in a long time that I was able to eat delicious curry.It would be best not to expect much in terms of service level, but the tipping order is high ㅜㅜ.

This is one of my favorite go to restaurants. The food quality is consistently good. I adore their beef boti. It is very tender and flavorful. Their nan selection is also great. They are always fresh! The only down side is that they don't offer different spice levels. I enjoy my food more when it is not super spicy and I have had a hard time eating some of their dishes. For example, their lamb curry is good, but spicy. When I asked for mild, they said they couldn't accommodate. Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this place.

Pakwan Restaurant offers amazing food surpassing all other locations, along with spacious seating despite limited parking. Situated in a safe neighborhood for walking, it provides excellent prices for San Francisco standards. The biryani is exceptional, though some patrons may find the music selection a bit outdated.Kid-friendliness: Kids welcome
