Came here for a wedding party as the groom n bride had booked this place. 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. 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.

Lamb chicken = goat (lol)

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.

Chana masala, daal masala, and naan

This was such an amazing experience. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They explained the menu a well and suggested many popular dishes! We ordered meat, rice, and vegetarian options and they were all delicious. I would definitely recommend coming here for some bomb Pakistani food!

Suji and chole(garbanzo beans)
EllenMarie S.

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!

The food was absolutely amazing and definitely the highlight of our visit. Every dish was full of…read moreflavor and worth the trip. The restaurant was very busy, which likely explains why the service felt a little lacking. The ordering system wasn't my favorite. It felt rushed and not very inviting, almost like a cafeteria or galley-style experience rather than a sit-down restaurant. I was also surprised that no one asked about our preferred spice level. Even with those shortcomings, the quality of the food more than made up for it, and I'd still come back for another meal.

When I drive from the Deep South Bay to Fremont for dinner there's usually a good reason. And that…read moregood reason is usually Pakwan. The delicious marinated meat, curry, garlic naan and .... daal. And this from a guy who doesn't usually like daal. At least not OTHER people's daal, this was excellent. I ordered too much food expecting to take a bunch home. We ate it all. The service isn't much-Order at the cashier, take the puck, pick up the food at the pass through counter when the puck buzzes. Get your own water, napkins, and table service near the counter. The building looks like an old burger barn with light remodeling and paint work. It can get crowded with Pakwan's regulars so stake out a table when you arrive. Good news is you are here for the food and that's top notch, authentic North Indian Pakistani food. Enjoy.

There is no private parking but all paid street parking except on Sundays. Came on a Sunday evening and it took is about 20 mins to find parking. We parked three blocks away so be prepared and allow time for parking. The restaurant had plenty of seating inside and outside. Good for groups and can make reservations on Yelp. There is outdoor heat lamps on chilly days. The place was busy with lots of people traffic but we were able to sit right way for two people. Service was pretty good but had to flag our server a few times with no issues when we needed something. We ordered mango lassi drinks, jalapeño cheese naan, basmati rice, Chicken Tikka Masala Thali, and Beef Chapli Kabab Sizzler. Only needed a small order of rice as it was already a good portion since we would be full with naan bread. The naan was good by itself and a good portion. It was stuffed with cheddar cheese and spicy jalapeño but better when dipped with the Chicken Tikka Masala Thali. The Beef Chapli Kabab was juicy and flavorful. Have to have this with their green mint chutney so make sure to ask for it. All dishes were a little spicy but not overbearing. The mango lassi drink was very good but I wish it was colder! Hope someone sees this in my review to make that adjustment. ;) Forgot to check in when I was here but had to rate it to share my experience. Good friendly customer service. Very modern and hip place to hang out. Noise level is loud so it can be difficult to hear each other if dining inside. May not be recommended for a date. Maybe, if you sit outside, might be different. Will be back to bring other people and maybe try their Beef Chapli burger for next visit. [35R,2026]

We love that Fremont has so many great places for Afghan food. If you like kabobs, this is a nice…read moreplace to bring your family. We recently dined here around 5:30pm on a Saturday. The restaurant was not crowded. There were only three other parties at the time. There was also ample parking. Our first dish was the Borani Gadinjon ($8.99), which is eggplant in a garlic, tomato and oil based sauce. It was good, especially when paired with the free bread that accompanies each meal. We ordered one Chicken Kabob plate ($18.99). The meat was really tender and juicy and had great flavor. We substituted the rice for salad at no charge, making it a much healthier dish. For an extra $7, you can order the Sultani Kabob ($25.99), which comes with an additional skewer. We ordered two chicken and one beef skewer. The beef, which was tri-tip, was very tender and not dry. There are many good options for Afghan food in Fremont. It's hard to tell the difference between them. The prices are comparable, and the food is very similar. The service level is comparable between the different establishments, too. Fremont Afghan does have a quieter dining area than some of the others. But we do notice that the size of the chicken pieces is smaller than the to go place near Fremont and Peralta. If you like Mediterranean food, this is worth a visit.

The restaurant was empty except for one other party, and we chose to sit in the lounge seating area, which features traditional Afghan seating that is low to the ground, casual, and unique--perfect for a date. The menu offered a wide variety of food, including vegetarian dishes. We enjoyed the chicken kabob, which came with rice and cucumber salad, and the eggplant, which also came with rice. Both were served with Afghan bread. As an appetizer, we ordered the potato Bolani, which was stuffed with potato and leek. It was also good, although slightly greasy. It's important to note that, presumably for religious reasons, they don't serve alcohol. The restaurant ambiance was peaceful and the service was good. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. One suggestion that might help bring in more lunchtime customers would be to offer lunch specials. We noticed a page in the menu that said "Lunch Specials Coming Soon," so perhaps that's already in the works.
