" Zareen's is an absolute gem in Palo Alto! I tried their Chicken Tikka Masala and was blown away by how rich and creamy it was. The spices were perfectly balanced. Not to mention, the naan was fluffy and paired so well. The service was quick, and although it was busy, we didn’t feel rushed. I will definitely be coming back for more! I've also heard great things about their Halwa Puri, can't wait to try that next! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Zareen's was a rollercoaster! The food was undoubtedly delicious—particularly the Chicken Boti Sizzler. It was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. But, I faced some long wait times and felt a bit overlooked by the staff in the beginning. Thankfully, the team was friendly once they got to me, and the atmosphere was lively. I would return again, primarily for the food, but with low expectations on speed! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful spot for Pakistani food! I was introduced to Zareen's by a friend and now it’s my go-to when craving flavorful comfort food. The Chicken Biryani is simply delicious, spiced to perfection. I also loved the chai that accompanied my meal. The only downside was that the seating was a bit cramped when I went. However, the ambiance more than made up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zareen's is my go-to! The ambiance feels both casual and vibrant. I've loved what I tried including their veggie wraps. Plenty of choices makes me feel right at home! Even on a busy day, I feel well taken care of by staff that are genuinely warm and welcoming. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in authentic Pakistani cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried many dishes at Zareen’s and each one has left me wanting more. Their samosas are the perfect starter, and the Chicken Tikka is full of authentic flavor. Unlike many places I tried before, their naans are fluffy! While the service can be a bit disorganized when it's busy, the food definitely makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Zareen's and I was pleasantly surprised! The flavors in their dishes reminded me of home. I had the Nihari and it transported me back to my roots. The staff was attentive and polite even when it was busy. Can't wait to bring my family next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zareen's has finally won me over with its exciting menu options! Recently, I tried their chicken tikka wrap and it was stuffed generously. The flavors were authentic, and I loved how they feature traditional drinks like lassi. It’s a beautiful space, but it can get loud during peak times. Nevertheless, I plan to return soon!
