Shan Restaurant in Santa Clara is known for its delicious Pakistani food, offering a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian appetizers, biryanies, and curries. The restaurant has a cozy ambiance with new seating, and the service is commendable, with staff like Vinod contributing to a pleasant dining experience. While the outside area may appear unkempt, the food and service make it a worthy option for takeout or dine-in. Recent reviews highlight the flavorful yet mild dishes, such as aromatic biryanis, chicken kabobs, and Bangen bhartha, which are highly recommended. The ambiance is simple, with fluorescent lights and order-at-the-counter service, but the food is fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Visitors appreciate the moist, tender goat karahi and the delicious chicken tikka masala, along with the vibrant music videos that add to the fun atmosphere. The location is off El Camino Real and Lawrence Expressway, in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. Inside, the restaurant features cozy booths and outdoor tables for al fresco dining, with a water and tea station for guests. The menu is extensive, including Tandoori dishes, curries, vegetarian options, biryanis, naans, and wraps, offering something for everyone. The naan is crisp, chewy, and large, perfect for pairing with flavorful dishes. Service is straightforward—order at the front, sit down, and wait for your food to be brought out—making it a convenient spot for a satisfying Pakistani meal. Overall, Shan Restaurant is praised for its delicious food and friendly staff, making it a great place to enjoy flavorful comfort food in a relaxed setting.
