So disappointed. When I heard Pakwan, I was relating it to the relating it to the amazing Pakwan Resturant in San Jose California. A Muslim living in the east valley it's damn near impossible to find a good halal joint, and I was hoping this was a gem.
Unfortunately, when we walked in, the atmoaphere was bleak, with only one frame on the wall and inappropriate Bollywood movies playing on a screen. We ordered the food & the lady behind the counter was nice, I could tell she was trying. The service was actually pretty good and the food came out quickly which I was very happy about.
Unfortunately what the food came out in was very very very disappointing. Plastic dixie bowls and styrofoam plates. It should be a crime for any resturant to do this. Mind you I was not getting take out, we sat and ate in the resturant. When I asked the nice lady for silverware she said they only have plastic forks and knives. This is one of their biggest fallbacks in my opinion. Plates and silverware is not a big ask.
The food was actually pretty good. The vegetable samosas were tasty as was the chicken tikka masala and the tandoori chicken. The naan was mediocre at best, didn't seem too fresh. The rice looked sad and bland however. But regardless of the good food the styrafoam threw the whole meal off.
A lot of potential, but very disappointing. If any of this changes, let me know because I would love to come back & give this place another shot.
