So delicious

We were on the road and this place populated! It was so delicious and great service! The nana and flavor all together!! Wow

Ruby G.

We walked in and the place was empty. We wanted to order the special that was listed for $9, but we were told it's only available on weekends even though it was Sunday. When we ordered, we were initially charged $16 and had to correct them that it should be $9. We also ordered chicken biryani, paid, and sat down. Shortly after, one of the workers came over and told us they were out of chicken biryani. We asked for a refund, but they said their system doesn't allow refunds and offered to send the money via Zelle instead. It was a bit frustrating, especially since they had apparently been sold out of biryani all day so we couldn't eat that. On a positive note, the haleem came in a cute matka presentation. The staff seemed a bit unsure and mostly mumbled, but they were trying to be helpful. Overall, the food was okay, but the experience was a little disappointing.

Amazing food specially seekh kabab and paratha . Tried karahi as well it's awesome .

Feel like I traveled to the country when dining here. The food was great! I had: 1. Biryani 2. Chefli smash 3. Falooda 4. Mango lassi 5. Chicken kara 6. Garlic naan

Masala fries

I was really intrigued by this spot popping up on my Yelp when we were looking for something to eat in the area. When you walk in, the space is huge with plenty of seating. The kitchen is enormous, it is definitely designed for catering. Service was friendly and patient with our indecisiveness. We decided to try: Dubai Paratha Burger - two patties, melted cheese, grilled onions and jalapenos, between two paratha. Milder than anticipated but very filling. Chapli Burger - this was absolutely bomb. The patty was chapli kebab, so it was rich and spiced and loaded with minced herbs and veggies. Add the red onion, jalapenos, and chutney, it was spicy, complex, and delicious. Masala Fries - Just fries, but completely coated in masala spice blend. So delicious. I definitely recommend obliging your curiosity and considering trying this spot out!

Incredible halal restaurant in the south bay. I went to pick up some appliances at the best buy outlet and decided to pick up some lunch at Karachi BBQ Tonight (it's next door). I got a chicken malai roll and it was the best decision I've made today. The chicken was so tender and well-seasoned and the flavors were delightful. I loved the service and the ambiance. It is a huge space, so it is perfect for events and celebrations. It is also conveniently next to the freeway. I will definitely bring my family here.

Karachi BBQ tonight provides some amazing Pakistani barbecue dishes right off the 91 freeway in Bellflower/Lawndale. They're located in a strip mall off the freeway with ample parking and plenty of seating inside. Their interior has a nice mural of traditional Pakistani life and sites as well as famous LA locations/people. We ordered the behari kabab, chicken tikka leg and thigh, nihari, and plenty of naan. We were pleasantly surprised to see them selling nihari, which for now is part of their limited time menu. The behari kabab was amazing, literally melts in your mouth with every bite, and pairs well with both their chutneys. The chicken tikka was well seasoned and had a nice smokey flavor. The nihari had a generous portion size and was very flavorful, and loaded with beef. One thing I really liked about this place was all the food was made to order, including the naan, which were pipping hot and crispy. One thing which would make this place even better would be to offer lassi or falooda options. This was a delicious meal and a great alternative to bundoo khan for LA natives looking for another halal option!

If you come here, stick to the traditional specialties! The Nihari, Haleem, and Chana were incredibly flavorful and tasted amazing with the fresh Naan. The BBQ items (tried the chicken tikka and chapli kabab) were just okay tonight and didn't quite live up to the curries. Beef Dhaga kabob and Malai boneless Chicken 10 pcs skewer was perfectly balance and flavorful. On the plus side, the place is very spacious inside and there is plenty of hassle-free parking. Definitely worth a visit for the rich curries!

I'm still thinking about the chapli kabob, falooda, and the naan. The naan was definitely the best i've had in LA. Very doughy and pillowy. This place is not the same thing as the one in Karachi but it's still so good with its own menu items. I need to come back to try their dubai burger!

Dubai Smash Burger
Amir N.

The place: Great spot to bring the family! Lots of parking and long tables to accommodate large families. Clean space with plates, napkins and settings/utensils available easily as well as to go boxes. This is a big convenience. Decor - Awesome mural of Karachi on the wall evokes memories of childhood. Other side has framed photos of various sites. Across from the main wall is the cooking area where you can see the culinary artists at work. Food: This is what we're here for! We got a variety of selection choices to taste the menu to cover a few areas of whats on offer here - Dubai Smashburger - a pretty good spin on the traditional burger, with tastes of Pakistani cooking coming through clearly in the patties, but accentuated with American cheese and burger sauce. Patties were a little overdone, but not too much. Paratha was great! Well caramelized onions elevates the flavor profile. Chicken tikka and beef seekh kabab - perfect quality, excellent taste and fair portions. Paired with Naan...and you got exactly what you want. Naan - deserves its own section. Lots of ppl dont get this right. Either its too thin or it's burnt. These guys have well cooked puffy naan and good naan just takes desi food to the next level. Biryani - authentic flavors of spices and plenty of rice and chicken and cooked-through potato. Places typically have either overdone rice or undercooked potatoes and this place was able to avoid both mistakes. Masala fries - shoestring fries fried to perfection with masala sprinkled on top. What more do you need? Things to improve: Maybe serve dishes with plenty of red onion, cucumber and raita/yogurt on the side as most desi definitely want chuchumer or salad with their BBQ/tandoori. Will definitely be coming back and bringing family & friends!

Wow, wow, wow! The reviews speak for themselves. If you're looking for an authentic barbecue Pakistani restaurant, this beats every single one of them in all of Orange County. It's a little hidden gem that open just a month ago. It's got plenty of seating inside with the open kitchen layout. The aroma of the food being cooked can be smelt within the restaurant and make sure you even hungrier. This is a family own business, and a father does a lot of catering and has a kitchen literally opposite side of the restaurant. I am so impressed with the place. As I walked in, I was greeted right away by the Owner Son who helped guide me on the top selling items, but I couldn't help but get one of almost everything .

Chicken Malai.
Frank P.

The wife and I were very excited to try this place out. We ordered the chicken Tikka and also the chicken Malai and this is what we received. The picture is of the Malai . They charge $14.99 for this plate with no sides. It doesn't even look like what they jave pictured in the restaurant. I don't feel that this warrants a $14 dollar price. I don't think I will be going back.

First. Please understand that EVERYTHING is cooked to order. You will wait 30+ minutes for your…read moreamazing food, PERIOD. So make your reservation 30min - 1hr before you would normally want to eat. That said. Here's what we ordered the last few times we went, ranked from good to amazing. Classic Chicken Curry: First bites had us really surprised on how fresh it was made. Like this was amazing. Lighter curry with amazing flavor. Just damn good. 4.5 stars for this and we've only started. Khan Biryani: The spice level was absolutely perfect, lifting up every flavor in this dish. Amazingly balanced, just. Probably the best Chicken Biryani I've had in my life, and I've had A LOT of Pakastani and Indian food in my life. Pani Puri: Such a simple unassuming dish, then you put the citrus tamarind water on top of everything. OML this was a flavor bomb that I've ordered a couple times. The only reason I won't order it next time is I really want to explore this menu. Tandoori Naan: We've ordered this a few ways, and to our delight they will make the garlic chili variety. It comes out smelling like the wood fire they use for the Tandoori. Just beautiful. One order is enough for 2 people. As for the best thing on this menu, and it pains me when I don't order it. Palak Paneer. The last time I ordered this I took a look up on the wall and what I saw didn't surprise me. This place got a Michelin award. Not quite a star, but if anything drove that award it had to be this dish. They use fresh spinach, and it ABSOLUTELY shows. It's so freaking good. I can't imagine eating here and not getting this. Sadly, we must explore more of this menu. We will be back, sometimes with friends. Love this place so much.

The biggest downside was the wait--we had to wait quite a while for our food to arrive. Parking is also a major challenge in the area, so be prepared for that. Despite the wait and parking situation, the food was good, and we would consider coming back to try more dishes.

@khansaab_restaurant is THE place to try Pakistani and Indian cuisine…read more Their first restaurant location in Fullerton has earned them recognition by the Michellin Guide! Their second location in LA is in Hawaiian Gardens. Gorgeous interior, perfect place for a date or gathering. They have large spaces and private areas inside. The food was delicious and so are their mocktails!! Wowww I was very impressed with the double smoked apple cocktail and highly recommend trying it. All their dishes are made with so much detail. And, many of the dishes have a very visual interactive moment like their table side bhel puri, puri, or their chicken biriyani and smoked beef. From modern authentic dishes to street food they have it all. The sloppy khans were also delicious! I really enjoyed their curry dishes with the garlic naan. They have so many dishes to try! I cannot wait to come back to try their butter chicken and paneer as well! For dessert we tried their rose milk cake and the chocolate samosas. Both were satisfying and the milk cake felt really special. Huge thank you to Ali, who has such a vibrant energy about him!!!!! He really added to the wonderful experience and helps us appreciate all the details and background of the dishes as well! Cannot rave about him enough. Definitely made the experience special for us! Congrats to Khan Saab on their new location!! Come check them out!

I had high hopes for the Hawaiian Gardens location. When it originally opened as Shor, we were…read moreexcited to learn it was under the same ownership, with Chef Ali Mookhi behind the menu. The larger, open space was a huge plus compared to the more compact Fullerton location, and the new items like chapli kebabs and different karahi variations were refreshing. This easily could have become our favorite location. Unfortunately, since Shor rebranded as Khan Saab, the overall experience seems to have gone downhill. The staff themselves are always nice, genuine, and willing to help, but once the restaurant gets even a little busy, they seem overwhelmed and clearly understaffed. Compared to the original Fullerton location, especially when more of the familiar OG staff were there, the service does not feel as polished or consistent. Our last visit was particularly disappointing. We ordered chicken karahi, chicken tikka masala, biryani, and bhel puri. The bhel puri was extremely dry with very little sauce and tasted poorly balanced. Nearly everything else, including the biryani, karahi, and tikka masala, was overly salty. The chicken karahi was the biggest disappointment. It is usually one of my go-to dishes at Khan Saab, but this time it barely tasted like karahi and was more like a generic curry. I understand this location does not offer boneless karahi, which is completely fine, but the flavor and quality should still be consistent. This location has so much potential because of the space and the Khan Saab name, but the consistency in both food and service just isn't there right now. I'll probably avoid this location for a while and hope ownership and Chef Ali Mookhi take notice and bring the standards back up.

A little hole-in-the-wall gem with seriously delicious Pakistani/Indian food and highly recommend…read moreanyone craving Indian/Pakistani! My husband and I stopped by Al Noor and were pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the food. It's definitely a small, no-frills kind of spot, but sometimes those are the places that serve some of the most comforting and flavorful food. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, and it was SO good. The chicken was flavorful and the creamy, spiced sauce was absolutely perfect with the butter and garlic naan. The naan was warm, soft, and had just the right amount of garlic and buttery goodness to soak up all that sauce. Add in a mango lassi on the side, and it was such a satisfying meal. Usually places have their mango lassi on the thicker side but I liked the way Al Noor did it because it had a perfect liquid/thickness ratio in my opinion. My husband ordered what I believe was the Lamb Curry, and he enjoyed it as well. I'm personally not a huge fan of lamb, so I didn't try much of his dish, but when I asked him which one he would choose if he could only have one, he said he'd actually go with my Chicken Tikka Masala... so I think that says something! We even got another order to-go since it was savory and wanted us wanting more for dinner. One thing I found really interesting was that they brought out cucumbers and onions as an appetizer. I actually asked our server what they were for because I wasn't familiar with that tradition and haven't seen any other places serve these before at other Indian spots. She explained that they're commonly enjoyed as a little snack alongside the meal. I thought that was such a fun cultural touch and something I wouldn't necessarily expect when dining out. Overall, Al Noor is exactly the kind of unassuming, neighborhood hole-in-the-wall that I love discovering. The food was flavorful, comforting, and delicious without needing a fancy atmosphere or presentation to make an impression. Definitely giving this place 5 stars especially for that Chicken Tikka Masala, naan, and mango lassi combo! I'd happily come back for another plate. As for parking, the plaza was small but has enough parking spots. But if not, I would park across in the other plaza and just walk over.

Al-Noor could so easily be a 5, you hate to see it, but hopefully they can turn a couple moves in…read morethe kitchen and reach stardom. I'll start with the good: all the curries are fantastic. They're thick, they're flavorful, they hit you with the right spice. Normal spice is a white man's medium high so they got their base down which is more than half the battle. They cook the Paneer just right. And really enjoyed the Bartha! That The not so good: the chicken is way overcooked, I don't know if it's breast or thigh, but it definitely tasted like a dried out breast. Possibly using the tandoori and just dropping it into the gravy, but a perfectly cooked chicken thigh would take the chicken tikka masala to the moon. Second, the Paneer portion size was a joke. Maybe six cubes in the whole deal. Needs to be at least double. I'm ready to try again you gotta protect your meats!

Very high end and fancy looking on the inside. Perfect for a date night. Excellent and fun customer…read moreservice. Also love that their restaurant has the tag "unauthentic Indian food" to it. Very intriguing and attention grabbing! Got us for sure! We did free street parking right in front and there were a couple other parties aside from us in the restaurant, but our food came out quite efficiently and we had more than enough for 2 people and we were able to take some home as leftovers to eat later. The bar area is GORGEOUS, the way they display their alcohol looks super glamorous. Perfect backdrop for photos, especially if you wanted like a Hollywood or Great Gatsby kind of thing. Actually, the booth seating was the tallest booth seating that I've ever sat at, which was neat in it's own way too. For our dinner, we got the: 1) Cali Chilli Powerhouse: -This is a zero proof drink. It's a milk blended almonds, pistachio, chia seeds, saffron and green cardamom. -Super rich smoothie like shake. Quite sweet and more of a dessert than anything, but if you like pistachio and almond, this is a very delicious drink. Very smooth and milky. Great to balance out the savory. 2) Pani Puri Poppers: -These are puffed puri bites and we got this half and half with charred chicken and potatoes. Underneath the puffed puri bites were shot glasses filled with mango and coconut, mint and cilantro, and yogurt and ginger dressing dressing. You pour the dressing into the bite and then shove it in your mouth and enjoy! -I've had something similar before at a different Indian restaurant, but I enjoyed it here much more. Dressings weren't overpoweringly sour like I've had at other places. Very refreshing dressings that went great with the protein/carb fillings. Love the crunch of the puff puri. My favorite was the mango coconut. I love the fruity sweetness with the savory. 3) Cali Chilli Pot Pie: -You get to choose your protein and we chose the lamb rogan josh as we got chicken for our other dish. -Comes out SUPER hot. Even towards the end of our meal, the dish was still steaming hot, but it's super unique and delicious. -The pie crust is mostly just the top of the dish and the rest is curry stew and protein below. Super tender lamb meat and flavorful curry. Nice kick, savory depth of flavor and spices. The pie bread part was moist, tender, top was flaky and delicious. A must. 4) Hariyali Chicken Boti Kebab: -This is part of their limited run Long Beach Food Scene Week menu. -It's a Tandoor (clay oven) combo meal made in an authentic tandoor, making the chicken smoky and slightly charred on the outside, and moist, juicy, and tender on the inside. -This dish comes with a choice of carb and salad, so we got the saffron ghee rice with the Cali Chilli Curry Sauce and the Citrus salad. -Delicious mint and yogurt taste to the chicken, both refreshingly sour and creamy, but herbal as well. There's a kick from the green chilies too, making it a great diverse dish of flavors and textures. I don't drink, so I can't really comment on the quality and taste, but the preparation for my boyfriend's drink was super cool. They used fire and poured it here and there. Truly a dinner and a show. The blue of the fire was super neat and great for videos and photos. Thank you for that! Will definitely come again.
