Pakwan, their concept of an authentic and traditional Bay Area Pakistani Indian restaurant, immediately became a popular destination for families, companies, and tourists in San Francisco.
Pakwan, the…
Pakwan is literally so delicious, I've eaten here for a couple of years and I'm never disappointed. They are always nice!! items I recommend are Saag Gosht (it's not as spicy as the other curry), lamb achar (spicy), basamati rice, garlic naan bread, and the tendori chicken (this is so delicious)!! You cannot go wrong with anything from their menu :)

Chicken biryani was massive and flavorful! Wish they gave more of the little mint green sauce. Butter chicken was good but unfortunately didn't seem as flavorful and felt like it could be seasoned slightly more.

The chicken biryani is packed with flavor and is legit spicy if you request that. One order will cover 3 meals. This may be the best Chicken Briyani in the city, and I assure you my standards are high.

Flavorful and well spiced Chicken Briyani! Not quite Hyderabadi Dum style, but this hits the spot for me as a Biryani lover who is often disappointed. Loved the on the On the Bone Chicken Breast as well, the chicken in both dishes is excellently seasoned. Unfortunately, would not recommend the Raita, which is sweet and not what at all what I'd expect from the dish (I ended up making my own).

One of the best Pakistani style chicken biryanis in town. Chicken is marinated well and great use of aromatics and spices. Large portions which are 3 servings.
