Amazing food and service! Subhan was a great host. The ambiance of the new store was very warm and welcoming

Subhan amazing service! Lamb gosht and tikka masala hit the spot . The Dahl was good felt less salty which I preferred

the beef nihari and the pani puri fixes my depression. looking forward to come back every week

Vanessa our server was so considerate, helpful, and pleasant. She made the experience memorable. Thanks Vanessa. All of the food was amazing too, shoutout the kitchen. Mango Lassi, Chicken Samosas, Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, even the rice was outstanding in both flavor, hydration, and texture. read more

I was excited to eat here, but the service was awful. We sat outside, and the staff moved the heater next to the other table that already had its own heater. The patio also felt extremely cramped, as if they were trying to fit in as many tables as possible. One of the meal came after we were done eating and the samosas never came. The server said they were out after waiting for 30 mins. Then, a different server came to our table and asked if we had received all of our order which only added to the confusion. The food was great, but the overall experience was disappointing. Also, dont forget to check you bill, I was charged for drink that we never got. Because of the poor service, I probably won't be coming back read more

We walked by just after 11 am on 4th of July and Zareen's wasn't very crowded so we decided to have lunch here. By the time we left, almost all the tables were filled. We ordered the Naan, basmati rice, chicken tikka masala, and lamb & spinach. They were good. The dishes are almost exactly like the Mountain View & Palo Alto locations. They have canned soda. We asked for cups & ice. I thought one of the servers was going to spill the lamb & spinach dish on us and the table but they saved it. Whew! They must have been excited to be doing something. It was great that they were very well staffed. It seemed like they had 9 servers/front people and 6 kitchen staff but they were all a bit unorganized. Two were cooking , on the phone, or watching. They all moved back and forth like they were working or just looking busy. I only say this because I was trying to find someone to flag down for boxes and I would watch workers walk by like they were busy, go to the back of the restaurant just to turn around and walk back to the front of the restaurant or they were also busy looking at their black phones, orders? With so many workers, I should have had a good number to choose from but they also didn't look up. But as soon as food was ready in the kitchen, a few would grab them and take them out. Normally, I don't care but we sat close to the kitchen and it wasn't a relaxing area. Employees were very nice, food was good, but I will probably wait and give them time to get organized before coming back. read more

I was highly disappointed with the quantity of food we received in our delivery order yesterday. We ordered the grilled chicken boti sizzler, chicken tikka masala, paneer tikka masala, and garlic naan. As you can see in the picture, the small container is the full order of paneer tikka masala, while the larger container is the full order of chicken tikka masala. The paneer portion was barely enough for one person, and the chicken would serve, at most, two people. The portion sizes were far below what we expected for the price. I've always enjoyed Zareen's in the past and have dined multiple times at your Palo Alto and Mountain View locations, so this experience was especially disappointing. The grilled chicken boti sizzler was the only dish that met expectations--it was generous in quantity and tasted great. Unfortunately, both the paneer tikka masala and chicken tikka masala were quite average in taste. To top it off, the garlic naan was sent loose in a paper bag instead of proper packaging, which affected its freshness and presentation. read more

Zareen’s - Small box is full plate of paneer tikka masala and big box is chicken tikka masala. - Pakistani Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

This place recently opened and it was one of my first times eating Indian food. Samosa (5/5); Super solid to eat with it being packed will filling. The outer part is crunchy so it good balance between texture. Chicken Tiki Masla (5/5): I loved the tomato based sauce as it reminds me of a tomato soup. The rosy flavor definitely added elegance to this dish. Beef Kebab sizzler (5/5): I can definitely taste the quality of the ground beef as it's sourced from Harris Ranch. It's a bit spicy, but there was great flavor of the beef. Overall I really enjoyed my first experience at an Indian restaurant. read more

We were loyal patrons to the Mountain view location and got super excited when we knew that it opened in Sunnyvale Downtown. And we realized that we were not the only ones. The place was super crowded on a weekday night at 6PM! Speaks volumes about their consistency in taste over the years. We ordered Lamb Ghosht Thali (5/5), Palak Methi Paneer Thali (5/5), Paneer Butter Masala (4/5), Shammi Kabab(3/5), Pani Puri(2/5). Loved the combos, softest naan, dal tasted heavenly, salad was yummy, and the curries so flavorful. The Spinach/Methi in the paneer dish was not ground into a paste, which makes the curry mouthful and tastier. Shammi kabab is an acquired taste and very distinctly Pakistani/Lucknowy, not a fan! Pani puri was disappointing- the sweet sauce was overpoweringly sweet! read more

I'm so glad they opened a Zareen's location in Sunnyvale! The food and service are just as good as the other locations. There's indoor and outdoor seating available, and the wait time wasn't too bad. I ordered the Chicken Tikki Thali with garlic naan (+$2.50). I recommend getting the thali because the portions were huuuge and it came with sides (salad, veggies, and lentils). The pani puri, samosas, and mango lassi are always a must get for us. We also discovered they have mango ice cream, which is literally mango lassi but in dessert form! The quality, atmosphere, and cost of Zareen's is unbeatable. It figures why this chain is so popular in the bay! Definitely a must-try spot. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Zareen's. This location is so nice and new, and the service was amazing. I ordered the tiki masala wrap and mango lassi, everything was SO GOOD. The sauce that it comes with is amazing. (Always ask for the green and purple sauce too) Rose and mango ice cream is also yummy if you're craving something sweet! read more

Located in Sunnyvale Downtown, parking is plentiful and easy to find. The interior is loud and bustling. It does get busy so highly recommend calling ahead to get your name on that waitlist. Madras chicken curry thali (4/5): good kick to it. Chicken was very tender and juicy. The balance of the sides and other dishes were great too. Tap to pay is accepted. Overall, Zareens has some delicious Indian food. Service is quick too. read more

Zareen’s - Madras chicken curry thali - Pakistani Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Absolutely recommend Zareen's for your Pakistani & Indian food fix. Zareen has 3 other locations, but I'm stoked there's now one in Sunnyvale, which is only 10 minutes from me! WAITLIST/SERVICE Upon approaching the host stand out front, we were immediately greeted and added to the waitlist. We were in 10th place, and it took about 20 minutes. The service throughout was exceptional and attentive. FOOD Always a good time at Zareen's tbh. The food hits, and the interior design/decor is a whole vibe. FAV items to order: - Chicken Tikka Masala Thali - Lamb Gosht Thali - Masala Fries - Pani Puri (5 pieces) - Mango Lassi -Palawan Paneer Soooo many items to choose from based on what you're craving. Highly recommend checking Zareen's out if you've never tried them before. read more

After eating at the Zareen's in Palo Alto, I was excited to learn that one was opening in Sunnyvale, which is slightly closer to me. I went with a group of friends on a Thursday evening, and it was expectedly busy. We were seated within 5 minutes in a booth, and despite the crowded inside, there were a good amount of seats outside as well. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala Thali, and it was delicious! No complaints whatsoever. Service was also quick, and the food was reasonably priced. read more

Zareen’s - Chicken Tikka Masala Thali - Pakistani Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Super happy that Zareen's is now opened in Sunnyvale! Came here on Thursday for dinner and sat inside the restaurant, and it was quite warm with no AC (outside was cooler actually!). However, the food is amazing. We started off with the chicken samosas and it came out hot and crispy. Two toes of chutney were provided to go with it, super yummy. The chicken samosas had a ton of spices and were quite spicy. They were a bit smaller than I remembered these to be though. Still, good! Ordered the grilled chicken boti thali with Garlic Naan instead of rice, and everything in the plate was phenomenal. The curry was so flavorful and creamy. Garlic naan came out crispy and warm and super garlicky! Lentils and salad were great. And the star of the dish, the grilled chicken boti itself, was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. I also got their Mango Lassi - it's not very tart here which I like, but some might prefer it to be more tart. Service was fast and attentive. Our plates were immediately taken away when we finished. Waters were replenished when we were low as well. Definitely would be coming back again! They can get quite busy and they only seat full parties! read more

I tried Zareen's for the 1st time and it was really good! I got the chicken tikka thali to-go. I had ordered online. When I got home, I noticed the mixed greens were missing. I called them and they said to-go orders don't get the mixed greens? Is this true? If it's true, u should mention in the description read more

So glad they opened in Sunnyvale! The quality and consistency is there. Interior is beautiful and very chic. We got the chicken tikka masala à la carte with a side of rice, two garlic naans, and their potato samosas. Two chais and a mango lassi for bevvis. Everything was as good as I remembered from the other locations. Chais were solid--not too sweet! Definitely get the mango lassi as it's delicious and a great sweet tropical addition to your meal! read more

Didn't realize the Sunnyvale location is open! Same good food as the other locations. Came here on a late Thursday night and it was packed. Service was still very quick though. We sat outside with the heat lamps on. It was very cozy. The garlic naan and mango lassi are must orders. We also tried their Thursday special biryani. It was surprisingly light and not oily! Happy to have another great spot to go to in downtown Sunnyvale read more

Very excited to see Zareen's open a location in Mountain View. We came by on a Tuesday around 6 and the place was busy. We were still able to get a table right away. We got a variety of thalis and samosa to share. I had heard a lot about Zareen's and assumed it was a more formal restaurant but the vibe is pretty casual. Our food came very quickly and was tasty. Although we ordered pretty standard fare, they do have some unique items like masala fries and a fried chicken sandwich. The portions were very generous as well and we took home a lot of leftovers. read more

I've enjoyed my visits to zareen's at the other locations, but I wanted to write a review to commemorate a level of service at the new Sunnyvale location that went above and beyond. I placed a takeout order and the waiters were extremely friendly when I went to pick it up, joking around and making my day. After I got home, I noticed part of my order had a mistake. I called the restaurant and they truly went out of their way to make it right. Exceptional service and great food as always! Special shout-out to Vanessa :) read more

Sunnyvale finally got its own Zareen's and honestly it was worth the wait. The moment you walk in you notice the artwork. It covers the walls in a way that actually makes you stop and look. Colorful, intentional, the kind of space you want to take a photo in before your food even arrives. And then your food arrives and you forget about everything else. The flavors are exactly what you want from authentic Indian and Pakistani cooking. Nothing watered down, nothing playing it safe. The Palo Alto location has been a favorite for years and this one holds up completely. The staff were warm, fast, and on top of everything without making you feel rushed. Good energy in there. The mango lassi is a must. Non negotiable. If you have been holding out on making the trip, stop holding out. read more

Zareens is usually a pretty solid spot for quick lunches after work. This time ordered the sag paneer and chicken tiki masala and garlic naan. Idk paneer tasted hella greasy today, maybe avoid. The chicken tiki masala and garlic naan are solid, always safe picks read more

This new location was very disappointing. The mango lassi tasted like milk mixed with mango pulp can. We ordered garlic naan which were all so oily and burnt. The paneer tikka masala was very bland and had very tiny, only a few pieces of paneer. Halfway through my meal I noticed a bug was on my spoon. The chaat was okay it tasted very plain and was ice cold. Overall I will not be visiting again and very disappointed in my experience of this overpriced restaurant. read more

Server Jorge is THE MAN! He went above and beyond, gave us great recommendations, and checked on us regularly to make sure everything was good. I must say it's hard to find this quality of service nowadays, and it made our dining experience even more special! The food was also amazing. This was my first time trying Zareen's, and it definitely lives up to the hype. Also, while the outdoor and indoor seating is always crowded, the back patio is really nice! There's outdoor heating, stringed lights, and plenty of seating. Plus it's not as noisy, so it would make for a great casual date spot. This is now my favorite spot to eat in Downtown Sunnyvale! read more

came here with a party of 20 last week - had a blast. service missed a bit with accidentally bringing rice instead of naan and a lot of plates got sent back, but they were so quick to remedy it and ensure our experience was not dampened. as always, the food standard is always the same and i appreciate that this hasn't changed in the years i've been going to zareens. many veg and non veg options which is great for larger groups. read more

Was craving Zareen's and never knew they had one in Sunnyvale. I've previously been to the one in Palo Alto and loved it. This location only been open for 3 weeks and it's already super busy. The staff are very welcoming and our servers Maheer and Annie were very thorough in describing the dishes. 10/10 food as always with generous portions and the service was fast. Outdoor seating in the back was beautiful and they were able to set up the heater for us since it was a little bit chilly. read more

What really stood out was Andrew--when he came by to clear our table, he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed.

Andrew is the GOAT and deserves recognition for the outstanding service he provides! read more

I've gone to the other 2 locations but I felt like this one was the best. Service was really friendly and the staff were attentive. I also like the set up here better where you put your name down to be called for an open table vs in the other locations having to order and then hope a table is open. We had the naan, rice, and Chargha chicken which were all excellent. Restaurant itself is in a great location and the interior was super nice. read more

I came here with my family and we loved everything we ordered. It's not pictured but I loved my tikka wrap (similar to a burrito). The seating was a little cramped but the service was great overall. They gave us free chai lattes with our meal which was nice. I thought it was a little inconvenient how you pay once you order instead of at the end but it ended up being fine. The prices are reasonable as well and great for individual portions or family style! read more

Zareen’s - The fries, chicken samosas, and tikka masala - Pakistani Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

We came here June 24, 2026 around and sat down around 6:30 - 7:30 PM. I note the time because I didn't get the name of the servers or the waitresses, but they provided the most warm and wonderful service I've seen in a while. They were so kind and patient to explain the dishes on the menu, and we were instantly seated as a party of 6. We got the chicken samasosa's, chicken tikki masala, garlica naan, rice, tandoori naan, grilled chicken boti sizzler, lamb gosht ala carte and the madras paneer curry. Oh my gosh these were all so good but the Chicken Tikki Masala truly stood out. You can taste the smokiness of the chicken while being soaked in the delicious creamy curry, it truly was an amazing dish. Can't wait to be back! read more

Well, I visited this last Thursday and the experience at the start was good and initially food was good and vibe was nice (thanks to World Cup vibes) but on the end when I ordered desert to my surprise after two bites, I noticed mold in it. :-( I had to call server for him to check and he even brought to supervisor but nothing from supervisor, not even acknowledgement to meet and apologize. Only server was apologizing and trying to give me desert as free (new one) but it was just not even worth it (I paid). Overall, I am definitely not going to visit again especially SunnyVale branch. read more

Zareeeeeeeeeeeen's When a business colleague asked for a recommendation for a meeting spot in Sunnyvale, Zareen's was the first place that came to mind. He's a big fan of Indian subcontinent cuisine, and knowing they had recently opened a new branch in Sunnyvale made the choice an easy one. Even on a weekday, the place was bustling--clearly still drawing strong crowds, which says a lot about its popularity. We tried the Student Biryani, Chapli Kebab (and honestly, it's impressive how they manage to preserve that authentic street-food flavor), Chicken Samosa, and their creative take on Burger fusion - the Samosa Burger. Everything was flavorful and well-executed. The lassi leaned a touch on the sweeter side, but it was still a refreshing treat on a warm, sunny day. The chai was perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, just clean, warm, and to the point, rounding off the meal on a satisfying note. All in all, it was worth the drive of nearly 20 miles. Now the only question is--when are you opening a branch in Fremont or San Ramon? read more
