Previously 2022 I rated Pakwaan a 4 out of 5. My last order was from March 2026 what a difference. Do to recent changes from new ownership its now a 1 out of 5. Entrees used to come in ULINE aluminum foil rounds which were 7", now they are in plastic 6” rounds. That’s 14% less food. Biryani was 9" rounds now in 7", that’s 22% less food. The rice on the side is less than half what it was prior. Food quality also not as good. Dried broken up rice on a Sunday afternoon. Less flavorful and under seasoned. Sorry but, Need to find a new spot.
Service was great the medium spice level was just right for us. (We like spicy) We were able to order online, and pay from their website. Two large Samosa come in one order. Its enough to share for 4. The Garlic Naan is four pieces in one order. You really smell the garlic once you unwrap the package. I would eat here again.
just another restaurant... it shifted to lake Hiawatha recently and we decided to try this... we went there one fine evening. The owner did not seem really interested in welcoming us... he was busy with some other task. this restaurant is basically for taking out only and only 3 tables are there to dine in. its self-service, you won't even get proper cutlery. we got our food in a to-go box and we ate there. we ordered Chicken chili and mutton biryani. Chicken chili was good, but mutton biryani was horrible. we asked for water and girl at the counter was busy looking down at her mobile. it was hot inside but they did not even turn on the AC. Prices seem to be okay, not expensive. I guess, its good for only indo-Chinese items.
Good tasty food just like back home in India. Excellent service and a suggest to give a try for the good food. you will like it
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I have never understood the hype of Garlic Naan until this delicious meal; it glittered with the butter, was both crunchy and soft, and made me understand what other restaurants' Garlic Naans strive to be. Besides that, I ordered Paneer Tikka Masala and it was so good it was hard to stop eating even after I was full LOL. That being said, the place is takeout/catering-focused so keep in mind it doesn't really resemble a typical restaurant. They serve from a counter and dish the food in plastic containers, on a tray, etc. But don't let that distract you from the fact that this is a 5-star gourmet meal that Gordon Ramsay would be proud of. They give generous portions on the entrée as well. I can only speak to the dine-in/takeout, not the catering, but I assume if they na
