" The biryani here is unmatched! Seriously, it's perfect. The spices are just right, and it’s worth every penny. I also enjoyed the ambiance, which felt true to the culture. The only downside was that our server was a bit inattentive, which made us wait longer for a few things. So overall, a great experience but could improve on service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our last dinner at Pakwan was a mix. The food was tasty and had good authenticity, but service was inattentive. The chicken jhalfrezi was spicy and packed with flavor, a highlight of the meal. It seems like they need a better system for serving customers promptly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our recent visit to Pakwan was a mixed experience. The ambiance has definitely improved with their renovations, and the food still carries the authentic taste that we love. However, we noticed the service was a bit off, taking longer than expected for our orders. The flavors in the dishes, especially the nihari and kebabs, were satisfying, but the rice could have been fresher. Overall, delicious food but we hope the service picks up again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic dinner experience overall! The biryani is sublime, and I could eat it every day. The décor adds a nice touch, making the atmosphere quite pleasing. Just a tad bit of wait for the food but definitely worth it. Will be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Pakwan with a group and loved the variety we got to try! The biryani, kebabs, and haleem were delicious. Each dish had its unique flavor profile that really showcased the authenticity of the cuisine. However, the service was lacking; we had to wait quite a while for our drinks. Still, the food made it worth it. Would definitely return for another meal! " (*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*)
