Lisa K. "Recent discovery of this fusion Halal spot thanks to my Pakistani Sista from another Motha.. Love it! I was told this place is very popular in her community and I can taste why. I ordered the crispy chicken burger with madrasa fries and it was absolutely delicious. Not only was the coating crispy, the chicken inside was juicy and well seasoned, not oily. The fries were "meaty" & had a good kick to it with their house wing sauce. But you must enjoy it fresh, best at dine in. My friend had the Sheezan Club with regular fries. Its one of her regular favs. We sat and talked from open to close, service was attentive enough that my friends chai was refilled multiple times at ask. Easy to wave down wait staff when needed. Minimal Décor. The restaurant was steadily busy and seemed like everyone knew each other. Very friendly atmosphere. Inside seating behind small doorway feels a lot cooler than outside. Perhaps there's AC in the back? I was feeling a bit warm/stuffy at one point as I was seated in main dining area. Not a big bother though as the food was good. Parking is plenty. Restaurant is in the last space all the way down the driveway. Can easily miss the driveway to plaza if not paying full attention."

Tommy P. "My favorite place to order Indian food in the east bay!Customer service here is quick and seamless --They are really hospitable and quick to refill glasses of water. Very attentive and ready to add any additions and make suggestions if you want to try new things. Only positive things to say about their customer service.Butter chicken is a must, but the goat curry is perfection --Butter chicken here does not miss. Has perfect balance of spices and ghee. Pair it with garlic naan and that's already a fire meal.Also ordered goat curry and lamb vindaloo. Not a fan of the potatoes but there was not much. The meat portions are always really high.EACH dish comes with rice but keep in mind, it's a lot of rice. THE wings are a must try too. So much flavor and affordable.Overall, well worth the visit. This place also has a plethora of desserts ready to buy too!"

The outdoor area is super cute and very nice for a warm fall night dinner. We came here on a Sunday night and it was fairly busy.I've heard great things about the fried chicken here and we had to come back with our friends to spread the joy! Definitely get the chicken tikka masala, it was 9/10, with very juicy and tender pieces of chicken.Your order at the counter and seating is open. We would definitely come back with more friends!"

Ismail S. "I've tried butter chickens and chicken tikka masalas in a wide variety of Bay area restaurants, and I most admit this one was a lot better that I expected. The food came out piping hot. The butter chicken I got smelled so good i couldn't wait to have a few bites. The sauce was actually spice and creamy while the chicken was really tender. The use of black cardamom is a tell tale sign of good masala and it was there. The rice was fresh and fragrant as well. Server was a cool guy behind the counter. Nothing crazy. And the atmosphere was whatever, just a regular set up. This spot is right next to the oh so popular pakwan so it definitely doesn't get as busy, but I kind of prefer the butter chicken here as it's spicier and more tender. Definitely try this place but eat the food at the restaurant as out is such a different experience when it's fresh out the kitchen."

In the beginning, he helped me answer all my questions and had open communication with me the whole way through. The day of the event he and his team were phenomenal. Everything came out on time. The food was really good and the bartender was great. Mohammed was so generous enough to add a few items on the menu to accommodate my guests. He even threw in some things to make the venue extra special for us. I've never had a venue do that for us. He is a true blessing! I will definitely be booking more events here in the future"

My daughter and I stopped in for takeout on a Saturday night and watched everything being prepared. We ordered widely (I may have gone a touch overboard given we're a family of three):Daal makhaniChicken tikka masalaChicken kormaMomos SamosasKebabNaanAll of it packed a flavor punch and the items I ordered medium spicy for my husband and me were exactly that. He told me the chicken korma was just what he was looking for. There are a few tables inside for very casual dining but be prepared to keep your jackets on if you visit in the winter months (it's cold inside!)."

The owner is so sweet, he gave us masala fries to try for free and chatted with us about the menu and what new products they're going to come out with. I got their tofu tikka wrap (which is wrapped in a tortilla rather than a paratha) and it wasn't as good, highly recommend the rolls!! Chicken tikka in particular was a love amongst my family. Great place!"

Victor G. "Khan Karahi Kabobs opened where Curry Carvings was. Same large parking lot, same inside & outside dining area. Sparse decor. Offerings (Pakistan): BBQ, curries, vegeterian, biryani, breads, desserts, specials, beverages..Serviced quickly at counter, paid, food cooked to order. Ready in 10ish minutes. A patron made suggestions to me as Pakistan food is relatively new to me. Me & server didn't converse well. A difference of India & Pakistan eats-latter is halal. Sips: chai (comped) self service at table.-perfecto! Had the right mix of black tea & milk..no bitterness, skipped sugarBites: Peshawari Namakmansdi Lamb Karahi(16.99) freshly made from scratch in wok-stir fried small pieces of bone in lamb, tomatos, ginger, onions, garlic & ghee? Jalepeno slices and red onions served on side-tossed in all the red onions, 1 jalepenos & mixed. -lamb pieces tasted fresh, tender & juicy. Sauce exquisitely blended. Couldn't handle spiciness so left rest of jalepenos out. *portion is small. Big appetites should order for 2 persons.Whole wheat roti (2.25)-healthier than naan (white flour) since it's whole wheat. Tore off parts to wipe up leftover sauces. Slight char on roti surface added exotic flair..4.5 stars maybe 5. Still a novice with Pakistan eats . All good so far. This may not have traveled well. Reheating roti problematic. Kahari maybe..."

Daniel D. "Got the weekday sampler and tried 3 items I've never had before. All three items tasted great. Bit spicy, but I like spicy. Couple of issues, apparently the place is supposed to be Pakistani and not Indian. Which brings me to the second issue... the chicken dishes were served bone-in. Most curry places I've ever been to do boneless, maybe that's a clueless America thing?? I ended up getting small shards of bone in my first couple bites.Good new is that the owner was EXTREMELY friendly and accommodating. Apparently most dishes are available boneless if you request it. She remade the chicken offering and even gave me some free Naan as an apology when I took the rest to go.If they tighten up the plating and clarify the bone-in/less issue a little clearer in the future, this place should be around for a while.I'll be back for sure, hopefully to update my review to 5 stars."

He even told us where to park (25 S. 3rd Street; first 90 min free.)Order biryani, chapli kabob + chicken tandoori masala. Biryani was great. Even though it was spicy for my 5-year-old she ate it claiming that it was too tasty to leave. Chapli kabob and chicken masala were good and as expected. Overall the taste and serving size was good and the service from the person made it great. I would definitely go back again!"

Eugy H. "A true gem -- amazing flavors, good hospitality/service, and great prices. We got the aloo gobi, fried eggplant, chapli kebab, and chicken samosa. Aloo gobi: 8.5/10 delicious, flavorful, loved the chunks of cauliflower. Fried Eggplant: 10/10 super "meaty", unique, easily my new favorite dish. Chapli kebab: 8.25/10 I don't usually like meat dishes but this one tasted great. Would get again. Chicken samosa: 9/10 different from the samosas that I'm used to, but in a good way. Filled with super crumbly, flavorful chicken. Accompanied by a sweet, tart sauce.The staff was also super friendly, made us feel very welcome and checked in regularly to see how we were enjoying the food. Would 1000% come back to try the other dishes."

Jeff M. ""Funny nam'e,Top notch gam'e."One of K&C's Michelin Bib Gourmand plaques on the wall says it best -- you come here for the food. Not the service, which can be brusque even if you're a regular. Not the ambience, which is non-existant. You come here for the excellent home style food. Standouts include butter chicken with a hint of BBQ sauce flavour. Tandoori chicken with char to die for. And dum biryani that, excuse the cliché, probably really might be the best in the Bay (get the goat). Kabab and Curry's is the aloof kid / neighbour / coworker who, despite their faults, is just too damn good at what they do to be ignored. You come here for the food. True score: 9.1 / 10. Return: YES"

It's pretty laid back where you order at the register, take a number, and staff bring out your food. You self-service water, cutlery, and condiments. They have a lovely outdoor area that has abundant seating and is covered. Though my party each ordered their own entrees, we shared a couple sides. Here's everything I ate: Chicken boti thaliVegetarian samosaGarlic naan Mango lassi Not many restaurants can compete with Zareen's price and quality! The chicken boti thali was enough to feed me and my partner (brought him the leftovers). The samosa was the largest samosa I've ever seen - and the filling was delicious and stuffed.If I can't convince you to try this place, maybe just go on California Ave and you'll be drawn by the delicious enticing smells as you draw near Zareen's. If that doesn't convince you, I don't know what will hahaha."

Yes, it's not a super fancy place and maybe there is a lack in something, but for its level - definitely deserves 5 stars."

Cheryl M. "Considering food, service and ambiance for Sunday dinner I would rate this 2.5 - 3. No dinner buffet so ordered a variety of items...First issue is you walk in and the place is dark....not dim but dark like a nightclub...still light out at 6pm but blinds closed and lights off except for blue rope lighting along the ceiling which was annoying.Service is pedestrian and lacking other than to place your order. Not much follow up and when you ask for items it's a 50-50 you'll receive.Items that were good: :: Mixed tandoori chicken - :: Lamb curry - tender pieces of lamb with carrot and potato :: Meat samosa - best item we had, nice pastry with a flavorful fillingMEH items: :: Lamb biryani- rice seemed overcooked to me :: Vegetable pakoras - over battered :: Chicken tikka masala - flavor a bit flat :: Chai seemed off...I love chai but their version was different, not a fanPossibly new owners as I haven't been in awhile (since pre-pandemic) and not sure I'm rushing to return. Even by 730 the lights in some booths were on but dim...this wasn't ambient lighting and brighter outside. Ridiculous...no longer my "favorite" Indian spot"
