“Tl;dl Chicken. Chicken Legs.Ok let me give some background. Before Shah there was a wonderful Pakistani restaurant called Shalimar and at one time they expanded everywhere including Sunnyvale but now you need to go to Fremont (the original one) to taste it.And once Shalimar moved out of Sunnyvale I come to Shah if I don't feel like going to Fremont. Btw there is also Shan Restaurant nearby so don't be confused.Shah serves Pakistani food which is basically the same as Northern Indian food (but Indians won't include Pakistani in the name whereas most Pakistan restaurants will say Pakistani and Indian food.).The interesting thing about Pakistani restaurants is their tandoori chicken is usually better tasting than Indian restaurants maybe because they bake them fresh instead of serving them in buffets. Hence the chickens are moist and flavorful. There is a slight kick to it so make sure you prepare for it. It's also bone in but I highly recommend you try the chicken legs. But of course you can opt for chicken breast which is bigger but less flavorful.The naan is also amazing since it's also baked fresh from the tandoori oven. The naan here is slightly thinner than those from Shalimar so I like them better here.The restaurant is clean and bigger than it looks from outside.This is a no hassle restaurant so you get tea, utensils and water yourself. I kinda like it that way. Also tipping is really optional so do it if you want to but not required. The server is usually fairly nice and they will bring out your food after you order and pay.Overall I like the restaurant and it's next to the strip mall next to El Pollo Loco.“
“I came here last summer and it was quite an interesting experience. We ordered and then sat outside.The paratha roll was great all around -- tender and flavorful spicy chicken in a buttery roll. I'd definitely get this again.The sizzling chicken dish had good flavor but the chicken was not as tender as I would've liked.The palak paneer was pretty meh. Not creamy and just spinachy.The garlic naan and mango lassi were good. Overall I had a good time here and would definitely get the paratha roll again.“
“Food here was excellent. The only reason it is 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the fact that there is no indoor space or seating. But still worth it. I believe the other locations might have indoor seating, but I've never been and don't know.“
“I came for lunch on a Friday and was super impressed with the service and quality of the food! The owner is very kind and helpful. It's a casual ambiance. I'll definitely come back! * Biryani rice with chicken tikka: 4/5 The seasoning on the chicken was so good! The rice was super fresh and fluffy. The chicken was a tiny bit dry. * Beef kebab sandwich: 5/5! The veggies in the sandwich were so fresh and crisp. The beef was warm and delicious. The aioli-like sauce complemented everything perfectly, and the bread was just the right amount of crispy. I'd recommend adding extra beef if you want more protein! * Chicken samosa: 5/5! The chicken filling was very flavorful and generously packed. The outside of the samosa was not too thick or doughy, and nicely crispy.“
“We came here to try a new place and it was phenomenal! Easily a 5 star place based on the food alone. Value is great and portion sizes are great too! It's moderately spicy but nothing crazy. We ordered the paneer tikka masala, garlic naan, and chicken biriyani. We will definitely be back!“
“We went here for dinner on a Thursday. There were 4 people in front of us in line to order. But there was enough seating for all of us. The only problem was - tables. They were not cleaned after people let them.The food was delicious! No two minds about this. In some aspects, even better than Zareens. We ordered their Lamb chops, Grilled fish, Signature Chicken Tikka, Signature Seekh Kabob and Garlic Naan. Seekh Kabob and the grilled fish was just okay. But the Signature Chicken Tikka and Lamb chops were divine! To wash all the food down, we also ordered Cane Sugar juice. It was pressed fresh in front of us.I will definitely be back for more!“
“The last time I came here was before they remodeled, they had a buffet back then too! The food here is delicious. They offer many different kinds of breads, tandoori options, curries and biryanis. Here is what I tried recently: Nirali lamb (not on the menu, our server told us about it) Chicken keema naan Garlic naan Lamb biryani Chicken leg quarter tandoori Chicken boti kabab My favorite was the nirali lamb and the tandoori leq quarter. Every time I think about it I want to come back! Few notes: - 15% service charge added to all done in orders - Street parking is available - Naan was too charred on the back (might be a one off thing) - check their timings, they are closed on particular days so plan accordingly Lastly...expect to be here for a long time, for us it took about 20 minutes to get our order taken and 45 minutes to get our food. Some parties were getting their orders taken sooner after arrival.“
“My all time fav Indian place in the Bay Area. I have been going here for over 16 yrs and when I visit now from Portland still the best place for authentic and delicious Indian food. I know choices are many in the area but if u want the best go here! I have never been disappointed. Tonight had Saag Chicken and Tandoori Roti. Yummy in my tummy! Always! ?♥️“
“Visited multiple times for lunch and dinner, tried multiple varities like veg and non-veg appetizers, veg and non-veg biryanies and veg and non-veg curries with roti. Food was delicious and had good time. Ambience was good now as they had new seating which looks cool.“
“Interesting paki/Indian food. I think they added a twist to some things with the burgers and the wraps. The kebab burger patty had some interesting spices. The dahi puri was good but I wish I didn't take it to go as it gets soggy quickly.Really cool concept tho and the good was tasty so I def recommend“
