" I was very disappointed. The food was served lukewarm, and the spicy dishes didn't have any heat whatsoever! It felt very watered down. Unfortunately, the service didn't do much to help the situation as they were overwhelmed. I won't be coming back here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout from Pakwan recently and was thrilled! The food was hot and bursting with flavor. I tried their lentil dish, which was fantastic! The service was quick and friendly, making it an efficient experience overall. I’ll certainly be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been dining at Pakwan for years, and I have to say, the food just keeps getting better! They have the most incredible chicken curry, full of flavor and spice, just like you'd find in Lahore. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it perfect for family dinners. Highly recommend if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love Pakwan, but my experience fell flat. The food was mediocre at best, and I encountered a hair in my biryani, which was quite off-putting. The service didn't seem very accommodating either. I’m not so sure if I will return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pakwan has been a staple in my family for years, and we love it! The food is consistently good, and my favorite is definitely the nihari. However, I feel the service tends to vary which can be frustrating at times. Overall, I'm very happy with this restaurant and recommend it to anyone looking for authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Really loved my experience here. The chicken biryani was well seasoned and the portion size was huge for the price! My friends all enjoyed their dishes too, from the nihari to the butter chicken. They made us feel welcome, and I appreciated the clean restaurant environment. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great spot to enjoy authentic Pakistani food! The spicy chickpeas and garlic naan were heavenly. I was positively surprised with the overall vibe of the place; very family-friendly and casual. Service was pretty quick, although there were the occasional hiccups. " (*Curated Review*)
