A great place a grab some good Indian/Pakistani food. Really crowded during the weekends. They have limited indoor seating but has a decent outdoor space. The food was delicious and I truly enjoyed it. You should definitely try it if you are in the area!

Zareen’s is easily my new go-to Indian place. Everything was absolutely delicious. Service was really fast. You order at a counter and they bring food out to you when it’s ready. Seating is limited but they have both indoor and outdoor available. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!

Super good food! A lot of options and they are very clear with the vegetarian options. The seating was pretty full but after 5/10min of waiting some people got up and we were able to take their spots. Nice outdoor seating, as well, and very quick service.

We went for Friday lunch. The place was fairly occupied. It’s a street full of restaurants.

Ever since moving to the Bay area, I had heard a lot about Zareen’s from South Asian food connoisseurs. Finally, got the opportunity to stop by for an unplanned weeknight dinner at their Palo Alto location. You walk in and place an order at the front desk. seats are not assigned but you rather find a table that is vacant. They have a spacious outdoor seating area. The place was pretty busy and on a lively street. We ordered the lamb curry, a grilled chicken sizzler and the garlic naan. Everything was delicious but the lamb was the best of all. The naan was perfectly cooked and not the chewy textured which I dislike. We also supplemented the meal with chai and firni (dessert). Overall, it was easily one of the best south asian food I’ve had in the bay area.

We waited in a long line to get in on a Saturday night. The line moved pretty fast. The food was quite authentic and naan was warm. Spices are punch. Portion size was generous. We got the garlic naan and mango lassi along with two rice plate combos (chicken tikka masala and lamb gosht). Didn’t wait too long before the arrival of all dishes.

Zareen’s is a definite favorite for me and my friends in terms of restaurants near Stanford campus! Food is delicious and well-spiced. I often order the palak methi paneer plate, and the chicken tikka masala plate is a friend’s most-liked.

Really good! I love how the use high quality food. Chicken tastes real and not like those square cubes you always get at other Indian restaurants. Dishes are pouring with flavors and deliciousness!
