Editorial Review for Pakwan – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
This no-frills spot attracts a budget-minded bohemian crowd that can fill the large dining room to capacity. The menu features a mix of traditional Pakistani dishes, such as tandoori-cooked meats, curries and veggie staples. Naan and other breads are homemade and served hot out of the oven throughout the day.

Alright so the naan is fabulous and the tikka masala is somewhat tasty in comparison to Pakistan, but overall it is not much. I went yesterday night and the setting makes you think of an undersized bare hallway and the service is hardly worth mentioning. It is easy to see how it is only crowded in prime hours. I was reading some of the reviews, and unfortunately I disagree with one comment that both the two brothers working there are hot. I saw one tall one who was yes, with lighter skin, but that was it. My group of girlfriends at the time had to agree with me. Its good food for the most part.

Pros: naan

Cons: service

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This is definetly the place to go if you want some good meat or even some vegetables. I went with a group of 4 people, and we ordered 2 chops, the sabzi(mix vegetables), and the chicken tikka masala. The lamb chops were done perfect, tender and everything with just the right amount of salt. The sabzi had all the right vegetables, and the tikka masala is the best i've ever had, and i've had a lot of tikka masala. Believe me, this is the place to go! Why're you still here? GOOO already. lol

Pros: The food is great, and the two young brothers that work there are hot.

Cons: PARKING
