“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.“

“I've been going there for decades ever since my Pakistani friends brought me there. They have the best grilled chicken legs I've ever had. They look like Indian tandoori chicken but taste is vastly superior. They also have other Northern Indian/Pakistan things such as lamb (or mutton) curry, lamb brain, naan, etc but the one thing I keep coming back for are the chicken legs. They also serve chicken breast/wing but if you are a foodie you know the legs would taste better. The grill is just perfect as outside is slightly charred but inside is super tender.

Although my Pakistani friends love their naan I found that to be lacking because the naan is thicker than I'd like.

This place used to be the original and then they opened multiple stores including ones in Sunnyvale and a couple in the city but now only the Fremont and one of the SF locations are still operating.

There is no service as you basically grab what you need yourself. You also don't have to pay for tips unless you want to. Overall this is the highest quality Pakistani grilled chicken you can get even if you go to Pakistan (according to my friends).

There is usually no wait and I do recommend coming here to eat instead of go to because chicken pieces are grilled after you order and taste the best while hot.“

“Best restaurant and food ever. Me and my family always come here and always had a wonderful experience. The food is like no other, and the staff is helpful and kind. I’m so happy there’s a shalimar in this area. Their food is authentic and tastes like it came straight from Pakistan. 10/10.“

“Mehran Restaurant absolutely exceeded my expectations! The food is amazing—full of authentic flavor and perfectly cooked. I tried their Halwa Puri, Nihari, Paya, and Pulao—each dish was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care and tradition.

What really stood out beyond the food was their outstanding customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. It's rare to find a place that delivers both quality cuisine and such warm hospitality.

Highly recommend to anyone craving delicious Pakistani food. Mehran is definitely a new favorite!“

“Amazing food and service. Great quality and flavor, staff was very sweet!“
