Chili Chicken
Kevin R.

Try to find an Indian restaurant everywhere we go and this one was a gem. The staff was very friendly and we were seated quickly. Restaurant is clean, organized but lacks the Indian artifacts at most. The food was excellent just make sure to order it one spice level down from what you usually get as it is very spicy. Worth the stop if you are in the area.

Chana Chat salad. Not made correctly.
Lori C.

One of the reasons my sin and I come here is because most Indian restaurants all have the exact same menu. Pakwan has some unique dishes like this salad. Typically it's delicious! We order it every visit. I was very surprised when presented and no explanation that they ran out of ingredients, just winged it. Most restaurants let you know and offer substitutions. This is something we order every single time we come here, so it's not something they could just slip by me without me knowing. It usually has garbanzo beans, onion, cucumbers, and potatoes, all chopped to very small cubes, with a tasty light dressing.Today the cucumbers were cut in half and just a couple of tomatoes, no potatoes at all. Tossed in a dry spice, no dressing. When I asked about it, he said they were out of the normal salad and this is what they have today and he walked away. When I first walked in, I was seated promptly as usual. There's a female server with long black hair, I've seen most every time I come in, and she was sitting in one of the booths closest to the kitchen, doing some side work. She had a bin of silverware in front of her and a tub of silverware that she was polishing, and she would throw the silverware into the bin creating a loud of noise over and over. The few tables that were already seated and eating, kept looking around at what the noise was. I stood up two or three times hoping that would give her a hint to quiet down. I finally said "miss, could you not throw the silverware? It's really loud?" She apologized but it was still loud for another 15 minutes while she was polishing the silverware. Maybe that's something that could be done back at the house? Just because of the acoustics, doesn't help in such a small place. She was very busy the entire time I was there, she was not my server, but I did observe her, sweeping the floors, busing tables, but while doing so, she would holler across the room at other staff members. Just not the experience that I am used to as often as we've come here it's usually been very pleasant. I truly hope that the salad will be made appropriately on the next visit and service with the staff is more accommodating to the atmosphere. I would really hate to give up this spot, but there are several other excellent Indian food restaurants around town. I also love Turmeric. Suggestion to the owner, could you please list the type of fish that is offered on your menu instead of describing it as "fish" My male server I had had no clue. I do not eat tilapia, so I was hoping you had salmon such as Turmeric offers. I stuck with goat, since I didn't know what fish you served. Thank you

My family and I love eating at Pakwan! We think it is the best Indian restaurant in Colorado Springs! We try different entrees on the menu for different visits but often just order the same ones because we love the flavor and spice level. We love all the dishes that we ordered today and always order extra to take lunch leftovers to work. The staff is always courteous and kind to us. They fill our waters and check on us to make sure we are happy with our food. I highly recommend this restaurant for your Indian food craving!

Great location, Great ambience with nice contrast of colors in the restaurant decor, beautiful lamps and nice decent wine selection which they have a display on the wall. I will NOT recommend veg biryani as it was not as it was suppose to be, i feel like it was more looking like veg fried rice types. Went little late with my group of friends still they accomodate us and did not rush us at all. The presentation of the food with the taste is amazing. Must try their malai paneer tikka with malai gravy which comes on the side. One of the best pan ice cream they have. Service was excellent and very friendly. 10times better than other restaurant around there ! Overall we had a great experience.

Butter Chicken Garlic Naan Cheese Naan

While the food was amazing customer service was absolutely horrible. The servers are too busy chatting away at the front and not tending to tables. I asked for a to go container 3 times where I got up and stood there until it was handed to me.

Paneer Tikka Masala,  Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan
Nanea W.

Went to Pakwan and was seated immediately with no wait. The place wasn't packed but the atmosphere was great and we loved the booth seating. The food was packed with flavor and spice. We ordered the paneer tikka masala, butter chicken, and garlic naan. I love Indian food and was not disappointed one bit. I'll definitely be back soon to order the same thing.

Run. It's flavorfully delicious. Must try ASAP! The waiter was very attentive and provide great recommendations.

FAMILY OWNED || HIGHLY RECOMMEND If you are in or around Colorado Springs, you should definitely go and try to out this place. They have got the best food in the area. And i would say their food is one of the best i have tried all over the United States. We were skeptical going to this place looking at the pictures online. We were exploring other options but when we chose this place and i am glad we chose this as the food was so so good. Me and my friend were not sure what to order. The server was very young girl and she could not recommend options from the menu as which are most popular dishes. But anyways we ordered Goat Biryani and Afghani Chicken Afghani Chicken - it was super super delicious. It was served with Mint Chutney and butter gravy. Goat Biryani - it was very delicious too. We requested the server to just put in a request to chef to give tender goat pieces and thats what exactly we got. The quantity was a lot for each dish we ordered. Not typical of other places i have tried. They had good decor of the restaurant with some paintings and décor representation India. I highly recommend this place to everyone and i am definitely going to this place again when i am in the area.

Old monk 10,000

Wow! I had never been to an Indian restaurant before, and the atmosphere here was incredible. We ordered two different naans--rosemary and truffle--and both were fantastic. For our main dishes, we each got the vindaloo: I had lamb, and my boyfriend had chicken, both with medium spice. The flavor was amazing, and the spice level was perfect for us. We also tried the Old Monk beer, which had a great taste. For dessert, we finished with rice pudding. I expected it to be a little thicker, but it was still delicious. We'll definitely be coming back! I wish I got our servers name to thank him directly, he did a great job!

EPIC Papadum Platter!

We have been to Pakwan multiple times and have never been disappointed. The ambiance is pleasant and welcoming, service is great and food is always delicious. Tonight for our appetizer we shared the papadum platter. It exceeded expectations! Generous portions of papadums with cumin seeds and plain papadums (sprinkled with chaat masala seasoning and chopped cilantro) and mango chutney, tamarind sauce and mint/cilantro sauce. My husband had his favorite of saag with chicken (medium heat) and I had my favorite, Samosa Chaat. It's a generous appetizer that makes a great entree. We shared the Kashmiri Naan (soft, fluffy naan stuffed with cherries, raisins and shredded coconut). We usually get desserts (all are amazing) but we were satisfied with the naan as a sweet treat. Our Server JD was pleasant, helpful and efficient. We don't go out to eat all that often, but when we do Pakwan is our favorite place to go. It's always wonderful.

A friend recommended this place so we went to check it out. The food was good and I especially liked the pakoda platter it was very tasty and has good variety. The chicken dish (I can't remember the name) was also flavorful. Overall a decent place but it's short of 5 stars for me as it's good but not spectacular. Service was nice too. Great ambiance.

chicken Korma's

The food at pakwan is fantastic flavorful and authentic, the ambience is calming and relaxing making it the perfect place to enjoy a hearty Indian meal. our experience was made extremely comfortable due to our server Desiree she was very attentive and helpful providing great insite to the menu and helping us choose meals suited to our liking. The service at pakwan is incredible they really cater to the customer personally and are over all very kind people. 10/10 I would recommend pakwan to anyone looks for an authentic meal and personally recommend asking for Desiree if your not sure what you'd like she's got you!!

First of all, their pictures on Yelp were off the chart, so I wanted to add some of my own. I couldn't decide between the chicken Tika Marsala and the butter chicken. So I ended up getting the butter chicken. It was absolutely awesome. I had a had medium butter chicken but is seemed Spicy to me just the way I like it. Then oh my goodness, I had the vegetable samosas and they were crispy. They had them seasoned potatoes and Peas and it was deep fried just absolutely perfectly. Also rice was flaky. I was eating so hard I forgot the garlic. Naan. They came and brought it right away. Hikmat has excellent service very attentive. was was excellent service, very attentive. They get my rating All Gas NO Breaks!!!

We always get the gobi Manchurian, which is so flavorful and delicious (and we usually don't even like cauliflower). I get the chicken dahniya and my husband usually gets the butter chicken. We also get plain and garlic naan. Food is always hot, fresh, and tastes homemade. We are hesitant to try any other Indian food in the springs because the bar is set so high by Turmeric!

Today, we decided to go after a trip to the big store... We started with a beer which was great as they have a surprising number on tap. I ordered the chicken momo to start. The dumplings were delicious and I loved the tangy sesame tomato sauce... We ordered the vegetable biryani and chicken dhaniya at level 5 and their cheese naan. Wow, just remarkable dishes. The vegetable biryani was packed with flavor and the sheer amount of vegetables was crazy. The chicken dhaniya was something else as well the white sauce with the sesame seed melted in your mouth. The chicken was phenomenal all white meat and so tender. Of course, we are bread freaks so the homemade cheese naan was also outstanding! We did find out why they open at 1200 and by the way when we showed up there were cars parked waiting for the staff to open the doors! Our server explained each day they come in early and make everything fresh each day! The sauces, the dipping sauces, breads, vegetable and meat preps... explains it all! A year later and we will head back soon to Turmeric as our server talked us into the gobi Manchurian and we don't even care for cauliflower!!
