Came here for halwa puri which was quite average, halwa was nice not too sweet. Affordable and hearty portions, but would love some more spice. Biryani meat was cooked well but also lacked flavour.

Hey folks, hope all is well. Given that more restaurants are opening back up in SF it’s time to explore again. I’ve heard from people I’ve met that Pakwan makes the best biryani in Tenderloin neighborhood, so we wanted to try it.

The food, service, and cleanliness is on point. We ordered the following: Nihari 5/5, Goat Biryani 4/5, Chicken Seekh Kabob 5/5, Beef Seekh Kabob 4/5, and Chicken Boti Boneless 4/5. The food is definitely worth driving down to downtown to. I would recommend this to everyone !

Bhuna Gosht it’s amazing it’s rich and savory soup. the lamb is so juicy and sauce and a red broth. This is by far the best Lamb I’ve ever had. Other than that the eggplant Bartha is always good.

My friend and I grabbed quick dinner here after having a few drinks next door at Bourbon and Branch and at around 8:30 pm, the place was slightly packed on a Wed evening.

I went in midweek so there was no rush. I got fresh cooked Goat Karahi which wasn’t spicy for my taste Buds but it was evenly cooked except the bottom. I loved the ambiance and service. The staff was cooperative to me.

I visited Pakwan last night for Dinner which situated on 501 O Farrell St. i ordered Garlic naan , Tandoori fish , and Chana masala( Chickpea). All items were so very delicious and tasty i can’t explain more. Its one of the best taste i had tasted in America. i travelled whole world, i am foody. But This food was best ever from any restaurent. Dinning arrangement here is just normal and simple not high level. But food is Awesome ! Person on reception is very nice guy named AARSH Service is very good. Must Must Visit Restaurent . i will give 9/10 Rating.
