Went to a Mehandi event. It was so disappointing. Expecting good Pakistani food from the restaurant The food was absolutely awful. Nothing tastes good except the yogurt. I only like eating Bryani we were the first few people in line. I didn't find any meat in the bryani. So I decided to take the mutton korma and put it in my mouth and had to spit it out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decoration was Okay[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They seriously needed to clean the whole place. Light switches were greasy. Floor was not clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Setup was not good at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What a disappointment. Loved the bride read more

Mehran Restaurant & Catering - Puri Halwa and Chicken Curry - Indian Near Me - Newark, California

(2/5) I ordered food from Mehran Restaurant in Newark with the hope of enjoying a good Pakistani meal, but unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. We ordered chicken seekh kabab, beef nihari, karahi gosht, karahi chicken, and naan. The naan and nihari were the only items that stood out and were enjoyable. However, I really wished the restaurant had provided the condiments for nihari on the side, as that would have improved the overall experience. The biggest disappointment was the karahi chicken and karahi gosht. Both dishes lacked flavor, were not cooked well, and tasted bland. For dishes that are usually known for their rich spices and aroma, these were far below expectations. I even took the time to call the restaurant the next day and speak with the owner to share my feedback. Unfortunately, there was no apology, no effort to offer a replacement, and no gesture of compensation. When a customer takes the time to personally reach out about a poor experience, acknowledging the concern and making an effort to resolve it goes a long way. Keeping the customer's payment while not addressing the quality issue leaves a very negative impression. I truly hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and works on improving food quality and customer service. After this experience, I will definitely think many times before returning. read more

Tried the buffet, normally im skeptical but this buffet was good. Waiters were really really helpful. Naan and puris came by demand and always fresh. The halwa and channe were ok. Nihari was ok too. My colleagues came for paya which i heard was good. Also this place does catering and halls to rent which are good as well. Goat pulao this buffet was not bad either. Total came out to $25 . Chai was a bit watery not as good as bundoo khan. Not bad though read more

Came here for a wedding party as the groom n bride had booked this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is actually huge because they have multiple rooms to book so there can be multiple events happening at the same time + have the main restaurant operational.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My family was pleasantly surprised by the service! Everyone was so nice and attentive and friendly. Very big plus in my book. The food was also great which was almost like a buffet style with plenty of options to choose from. From someone who eats Indian food atleast once a month, the food they provide here is very good! Adding some pictures below of the options that were provided. This place overall is great for large parties with Indian food catering. read more

My wife and I heard about this restaurant from close friends. Was traveling through Fremont and decided to give it a try. We happened to arrive on the same day they had just finished an event and started another as this restaurant also caters. The staff here are super friendly and were patient in explaining their menu and options for the buffet. We choice to order from the menu. I loved the chicken kebab. It was so juicy and flavorful. Also the saag panner was amazing as well. The cheese was not as strong as other places. The lamb curry was a let down as it had more bones than meet. Waitress complemented us with chi to go. Overall was a great time and food was very good. read more

This buffet was very good. Better than the Mehran in Pittsburg even. It was crowded and busy with tables full and a banquet going on in the side room. Chicken biriyani was tender and not dry but fluffy rice. Pya( beef feet- all meats halal) was excellent and my husband loved it! The naan was so fluffy and thick! This is the best naan I have had bc I like it fluffy! Chole was on point. The beef nihari was tender beef falling apart and very good. My husband's family all experts in the cuisine all said the food was very good! Spinach with aloo was delicious and aloo achar which I never had was good too. That had a distinctive flavor profile to it- kind of pickled tiny bit sour but good. Butter chicken very rich and yummy. What I REALLY liked was halva which was yellow in color with almonds ( or is said Suji on index card in front of it) which is a sweet dessert( like cream of wheat texture). I make it at home even and I'm not fond of sweets but this was buttery and very tasty! Along with kheer ( rice pudding but really ground up)- like I said, I'm not into desserts or sweets usually ( I like fried or savory), but these were sooo good I could have been happy just eating those two dishes alone lol! They also served poori( fried crispy kind of paratha) with the suji and I even ate it with the kheer rice pudding! Served with nice hot chai tea! I haven't had a good buffet especially after Covid for a long time or even good food really in a restaurant after, so this is good decent food! Like I went away thinking for 20.00 this was finally worth it! read more

Absolutely disgusting. There are numerous 1-star reviews here and they are all absolutely true. This place is awful. A true disgrace to Indian and Pakistani food. Meat smells horrible. Food is old, stale and microwaved. NOT fresh at all. You can easily tell. Service was poor as well. The most important thing at a restaurant is the food. Mehran has the WORST food you can possibly think of. TERRIBLE. Never coming back. read more

Mehran catered at our son's wedding in July. Our event was in San Ramon. I don't have enough words about how excellent the food was. We ordered around 10 dishes. The quality, the quantity, the service, the punctuality, everything was perfect! They say that at desi weddings, food is the main focus and that should be the best one can afford. People talk about it for years and never forget. We have 2 more children and we willl go through Mehran inshallah for both of them. We had over 400 people at our function. So many people said they will cater from Mehran after they saw how perfect everything was. Thank you for making our function so memorable! read more

Totally recommend the baigen bhartha if you like eggplant. Seekh kabob was typical/good. Paratha. Tasty, soft. Dense so it was filling... I only ate a quarter when i usually eat half. Service was nice. We were the only ones dining in for weekday lunch time. The facilities & restrooms just feels old; not a fault of their own unless they were to renovate. read more

We ordered the chicken curry thali and veggie biryani. Some people in the party felt the salt was too less. I liked it because I eat less salt anyway. I liked the hot daal and chicken curry with naan in the thali. The kabab was spicy and juicy. The plain rice was not done well. It was too dry. The veggie biryani was okay. The chai was okay. read more

I first went to Mehran restaurant for lunch. They had good variety of food and the food was good too. So I had them cater food for my upcoming Aftar/dinner. I must say their staff was very polite and courteous, especially the manager Mr Saood. He's the reason I placed my first order at the restaurant. I ordered their butter chicken, Chana masala, dahi baras and goat pulao. (the dahi baras cld be better though) Our guests loved the food. The quantity was ample. I had some last minute extra guests and the food was plenty. That's a huge plus for ordering next time. Good food and good quantity. read more
