Food was lovely. Full of flavours, right amount of spices. We had the Biriany dishes lamb and prawns. The lamb was tender, melt in the mouth and yet not dry. Definitely would come back and recommend.

My wife a I recently enjoyed a fantastic dining experience at the Pakwaan. I did a thorough search before initially booking, as belonging to North Indian Punjabi heritage, I really wanted to find a place that offered authentic Indian Punjabi food. The food was exceptional and was refreshing to see a menu that was packed with proper Indian Punjabi dishes. Overall the food, service and atmosphere was brilliant and I highly recommend Pakwaan to everyone.

Excellent Experience at Pakeaan Restaurant! I recently dined at Pakeaan Restaurant, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was impeccable—staff members were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious! Each dish was bursting with authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re a fan of rich, aromatic curries or flavorful grilled items, there’s something for everyone. The ambiance was equally impressive. The restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere, with elegant decor and a comfortable seating arrangement, making it perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. Overall, Pakeaan Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended!

If you’re looking for the best Indian restaurant in town, look no further. This place is a true gem, offering not only incredibly tasty food but also maniacal attention to service—every detail is meticulously handled. The menu is a paradise for both vegetarians and pescatarians, with a wide range of flavorful dishes that showcase the depth of Indian cuisine. Every bite is packed with authentic spices, perfectly balanced to create a memorable dining experience. The seafood options are fresh, and the vegetarian dishes are anything but an afterthought—they are rich, hearty, and full of flavor. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, making sure your experience is nothing short of perfect. The environment is exactly what you’d expect from a traditional Indian restaurant: warm, welcoming, and filled with the aromas of spices that immediately transport you to the streets of India. Whether you’re a fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

I don't know how to give 0 rating but honestly I am highly disappointed . Pakwaan takes order on Uber eats and we ordered food today at Pakwaan and it's being more than 2 hours and no sign of delivery and no update in terms of when food will be deliverd . They are also not answering the phone . Spoiled the day,and spoiled the mood. Why they take orders if they dont have ability to deliver ? Why to spoil other people events and time like this .....really bad that they don't even pick their phone ...

Finally, no need to travel far for authentic Indian cuisine. The flavours evoke memories of home-cooked meals, and there are plenty of dishes to tantalise your taste buds. While some might find the prices on the higher side, the saying "you get what you pay for" has never been truer. Plus, you may have the pleasure of meeting the charming proprietor, who personally checks in with diners to ensure a memorable experience.
