Pakistani Restaurants in San Francisco, CA

“Best Indian fusion place in the area! A little sketchy to go at night but just don't walk around the area too much! Pani puri: SO GOOD, I've never had pani that tasted this good that wasn't in India. It was stuffed with the potato and Chana and it was spicey and just everything I wanted. We also tried the green pizza with chicken and the sauce was actually spicy. It had great flavor and one pizza was plenty for the 4 of us with an appetizer and another dish. Chicken“

“This restaurant serves Indian and Pakistani food. Its just a classic restaurant. The food is so amazing, super authentic to me, one of my favorite dish is beef nahari, a slow cooked chunk of beef in a spicy delicious sauce, if you never had it it’s a must try! service is great the guys there are so helpful:) 4star for what it is, it could use some TLC but with that kind of yummy food who cares ?Vegetarian options: Indian food there’s so much vegetarian optionsParking: Mission district so you know parking will be difficult but not impossibleKid-friendliness: Kids are welcomed.“

“I got Karahi Gosht and it was authentic and flavorful. Serving quantity was decent as well. I live in the South Bay and most places over there don't get this dish right. 5* from me, for the Karahi Gosht and Naan. Service understandably took some time because they make it fresh and piping hot. And I went there in between performances of standup comedy at Cobb's next door.“

“The best taste with less spicy!“

“I love this restaurant. Not many places have Haleem and Nihari, but this one does! Everything we had was delicious. I ordered chicken Haleem and my fiancé has the Paneer Tikka Masala. The paneer masala was flavorful with a slight sweetness. The naan was huge! And the aloo naan was delicious as well.“

“Mashaallah started out as a food truck but now has a stall in the food court of Westfield San Francisco. Despite its humble appearance, this small business offered some of the best Pakistani food I've had in the city from its steam table of freshly-prepared meat and vegetable curries. A star dish here (which came recommended by Soleil Ho) was the Lamb Korma, made of super tender, lean, meaty chunks of lamb in a spiced curry. On my combination plate, I also got the Chana Masala (chickpea curry) and the Palak Paneer (cheese cubes in a velvety puréed spinach sauce), served along with rice. Every item was delicately spiced and flavorful without being too salty, and the garnishes of raw onion and cilantro brought out the freshness of the dishes. On the side, I also had an order of Garlic Naan (another star item), which was perfectly soft and chewy and had a wonderful flavor and aroma from the garlic and herbs. Overall, the food here was absolutely delicious, and the owners were so friendly and hospitable too!“

“Aslam's is my absolute favorite Indian/Pakistani food in the Bay Area! Huge fan of their chicken madras and saag paneer. The naan is always perfectly toasty and I'd recommend a mango lassi to accompany it all. The quantities are satisfying and we often end up taking a whole extra meal's worth home in a to go box. On top of the excellent food, the service is phenomenal. It's the type of warm, friendly, family-owned business that makes SF feel like home. They've been a low-key institution on Valencia st. for at least as long as I've ben here, and quickly became a go-to. If you want to impress someone by taking them to that 'sleeper spot' with incredible food, take 'em to Alsam's!“

“Near San Francisco town, if I get a good restaurant there this is the one. Food ambiance and service all are good .. love the steamed momo, tandoori chicken..yum yum.. masala chai we didn't like. One suggestion will be that if they can provide red chutney with momo that will be beyond perfect, definitely will visit again“

“I ordered the Chicken Thali with chicken tikka masala and it was the most delicious rich gravy I've ever eaten. the service is good and the people are friendly.i came back to try the chicken tikka masala pizza and it was great. it was a huge slice for 5 bucks n the flavors were bomb.“

“Recently visited San Francisco with my family, and found this amazing pakistani food truck in presidio tunnel tops, and the food there was absolutely amazing im absolutely astonished at how delicious everything is. Foods like halva puri platter, chappli burger, CTM loaded fries, chicken churga platter and the special rabbery falooda were my absolute favourites. Its really got that authentic taste, really reminds me of the food back in Pakistan. Highly recommend this place 10/10. The owner and staff are very friendly and the service is quite fast. I'll definitely come back here to try the food again whenever I visit San Francisco!“

“The atmosphere of the restaurant feels very welcoming for first timers. There is an option for a buffet if you decide to come in early. There are plenty of options to choose from if you like Indian cuisine. Overall I would recommend checking this place out if you never been here or just looking for something new to try.“

“I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and Aloo Naan. It was very good I recommend this restaurant.“

“This is my favorite desi restaurant in the bay area that I discovered recently. The chicken tikka masala is perfection with the white rice. Also the mango lassi is amazing. I believe this location is now closed as I walked by the other day and the people working inside said it's going to be a Mediterranean restaurant now. If anyone knows if Lahore Karahi is moving to a new location, please update their listing. The other restaurants don't know how to make chicken tikka masala.“

“This restaurant never disappoints me, I have been here at least 5/6 times and each time the owner greets warmly. Food is fantastic too, while its heaven for Non-vegetarians, the vegetarians don't get disappointed too.Highly recommended“

“This Is The Best restuarant Ive ever been tooooo !!!!!!! there food is really authentic super tasty ive tried gola kabab behari kabab chicken tikka masala biryani took it home and everyone was amazed better then all the other desi resturants in san francisco 5 star is a little im ready to give a million stars for this place“

“I honestly have to say this is one of the best places I've ever been they're super inexpensive I was homeless and used to come here a lot when I was able to with my service animal and they treated me with such kindness and generosity I moved away two years ago but will be moving back and this will be the first restaurant I go and visit when I move back at the end of April 2024! Super excited to see the new renovations!“

“A pakwan fan boy. Everything they have is quite tasty. Although it’s a little expensive, but the portions are always big. Just grateful to the owner because there is atleast one budget friendly Indian restaurant in SF that has good & clean food. Servers are great too. Only recommendation would be to please improve tea. It’s just water and tea powder.“

“Great Sunset neighborhood Indian/Pakistani restaurant. Friendly service. Accommodates my spice shy palate. Recently introduced thali lunch boxes perfect for single diners. Reasonable prices.“
