Pakwaan Indian Take Out

just another restaurant... it shifted to lake Hiawatha recently and we decided to try this... we went there one fine evening. The owner did not seem really interested in welcoming us... he was busy with some other task. this restaurant is basically for taking out only and only 3 tables are there to dine in. its self-service, you won't even get proper cutlery. we got our food in a to-go box and we ate there. we ordered Chicken chili and mutton biryani. Chicken chili was good, but mutton biryani was horrible. we asked for water and girl at the counter was busy looking down at her mobile. it was hot inside but they did not even turn on the AC. Prices seem to be okay, not expensive. I guess, its good for only indo-Chinese items.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I have never understood the hype of Garlic Naan until this delicious meal; it glittered with the butter, was both crunchy and soft, and made me understand what other restaurants' Garlic Naans strive to be. Besides that, I ordered Paneer Tikka Masala and it was so good it was hard to stop eating even after I was full LOL. That being said, the place is takeout/catering-focused so keep in mind it doesn't really resemble a typical restaurant. They serve from a counter and dish the food in plastic containers, on a tray, etc. But don't let that distract you from the fact that this is a 5-star gourmet meal that Gordon Ramsay would be proud of. They give generous portions on the entrée as well. I can only speak to the dine-in/takeout, not the catering, but I assume if they nail one they must nail the other. Worthy competitor to other Indian restaurants in the area, including Apna Swad and Jashan by Dhaba.

Oh men amazing catering by pakwaan at my 50th birthday party for more then 300 people, all the ingredients were fresh, I don’t think so called moguls can even come closer to food taste and pricing by rahman from pakwaan catering.

Service was great the medium spice level was just right for us. (We like spicy) We were able to order online, and pay from their website. Two large Samosa come in one order. Its enough to share for 4. The Garlic Naan is four pieces in one order. You really smell the garlic once you unwrap the package. I would eat here again.

I’m a little confused why the rating is not higher, because i’m happy to report that we’ve tried different dishes about 3-4 times now, and each time was pretty good! So far we’ve eaten lamb dishes and paneer dishes. All have been delicious. The only thing is that the person who answers the calls doesn’t know the differences of taste in each curry.
