I've had coworkers rave about this place and after seeing it ranking highly on Yelp this year, I knew I had to try it out since I was in the Mountain View Area! My friend got the Tikka Masala combo and I wanted to try something different today and got the Lamb Bhuna Gosht entree with naan. It was amazing! Super well seasoned and spicy. I think their food holds true to its authenticity even after the store rose in popularity. Naan- got it to dip in with my entree. Not the hottest or crispiest but did the job.Mango lassi is just ok imo. It's definitely creamy and has the sweetness of the mango but tastes a little watered down I think. Not the greatest I've had for 5.50.Their Chai is super good though! I'd get this over the lassi any day! It's definitely on the sweeter side but I think the sweetness complements the meal well which is more seasoned and spicy. Comparing the entree to combo, I personally think it's better to order the entree then the combo because it looks like you get twice as much when comparing containers. Note this location is fully to go, but there is some seating outside for small and bigger groups. I'd love to come back and try a different entree or try their dine in locations when I'm further up in the peninsula!

It was my first time here. I was surprised that there is no indoor seating. Food is all packaged to go. You have options to sit outside. However, outdoor seating in the winter is too cold. No heater or cover is available to keep you warm. My friend and I ended up sitting outside bc of my dog. I got 2 meal dishes with garlic naan. The naan is not as garlicky as I thought it would be. My orders included lamb gosht thali and chicken tikka masala. They were good, but I saw a lot of oil and grease on the top layer of the curry. I enjoyed the food, but it's a bit heavy for my tummy. The portion was good for me, but my friend said that he didn't feel full after.

I have been to the Palo Alto location, but this was my first time at the Mountain View location. It turns out that this location is primarily a takeout spot post covid, but we had planned to eat outside anyway because my friend brought her dog. They have 6-7 tables outside - since it is a casual spot, they don't have heaters outside (which I don't think are usually necessary but it was super cold the one day we went lol)There is an iPad you can order from inside (which I think it slightly cheaper than ordering from the website). Even though it is primarily a takeout spot, they still have a water and utensils station. I got the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan and my friend got the lamb with garlic naan. We both thoroughly enjoyed our dishes and the portion was large enough where we both had leftovers.Yummy food and fair prices!

We ordered to go on the app. Pick up was ready on time. There is an area with twinkle lights, tables and chairs a few feet away that you can eat outside. The flavors of each dish were good. The lamb was a little greasy.

With its close proximity to 101, 85, a certain tech giant, and really damn good food, there's no wonder why Zareen's is such a South Bay/Peninsula staple. You can order through a number of delivery platforms, so getting your hands on this delicious food isn't too difficult either. While it is a mostly to-go restaurant (at least this location), they do have some outdoor dining available, which is great on a nice day, and the perfect stop before a Shoreline concert. The outdoor seating gets pretty packed, so either get their early, or prepare to pounce the moment someone gets up from their table. They have combos that are served with rice and salad, or you can order a la carte entrees. I've gotten a combo via delivery service for myself, but when dining with others the a la carte entrees are the way to go. On my most recent visit we ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Palak Paneer, and sides of rice and naan. This was plenty of food for two of us, and left us with a small amount of leftovers. Food was hearty and flavorful and had a little bit of heat, but nothing too intense. Would order all items again and look forward to going with more people sometime so that we can order and try even more from the menu!

Zareen lives up to the hype. I've been going here for 7 years. They're continuously expanding! They've taken over the old Starbucks location, and has way more outdoor seating. This is one of the few spots open late on Cal Ave. Currently, you can sit indoors, take away or one of the spots outside (if it's not raining). First timers, you can order the mango lassi, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken and naan. These are all good options.

This restaurant is close to the Google Mountain View office and Century CineMark theatre. There is limited seating available outside. I've been to this restaurant couple of times. My favorites are mango lassi, chicken boti, silver spoon paneer roll and punjabi burger. The lassi is very indulgent and rich with the right amount of sweetness. The paneer roll is nice too

Sooooooo delicious!! A couple friends and I dropped by for a late lunch; we ordered naan, rice, veggie samosas, palak paneer, chicken tikka masala, and mango lasi. It was all so yummy. The samosas were so flavorful and came with 2 sauces (tamarind and mint chutney). The chicken tikka masala was also so delicious, I personally liked it better than the palak paneer but my friends liked it more. The mango lasi was also so good, but one of my friends said it felt a little artificial. Service was quick and great, this spot is more of a takeout spot, but you can sit outside as we did and it was quite nice!

We got the Beef Chapli Kabab Sizzler, Madras Chicken Curry Thali and garlic naan at Zareen's on a Saturday night. Beef Chapli Kabab: When i ordered this, i envisioned a skewer kebab but was surprised with patty liked beef. It was seasoned well but it was a bit chewy. Madras Chicken Curry Thali: The star of the show! The curry was perfect! Bursting with rich spices and with a nice tolerable quick of spiciness. It was creamy and you could tell that the chicken was grilled. The lentils on the other hand were undercooked and could have used more flavor. The salad was mainly spinach and was mixed with this almost like sweet and sour sauce. Naan: We got a regular one and a few garlic ones. They were soft and they were pretty big. They have a special over just specialized for the naan so that's cool! Service/Ambiance: Ordered outside and got our food in about 10 minutes. It is a self serve restaurant. If you are looking for a warm cozy Indian spot, this is your place! (p.s took a few bites before taking pictures lol)

Ordered chicken tikka masala a la carte, lamb gosht a la carte, and rice. The chicken was a very good choice, I can see why this is a popular staple. The lamb gosht is also quite nice if you're a fan of lamb. The rice was very fragrant and paired well with the curries. This meal was very great. We could not help wonder if the experience would have been better with in person dining. All orders are made online or via their QR code online. There is no in store seating, it's all pick up orders in to-go containers and paper plates. There is some seating outside and under a nearby tent but the experience is largely informal. Parking here is adequate, there are enough spaces to handle the lunch rush of customers.
