Pakwan Restaurant - Fremont

Nihari

Slow-braised beef shank in a deep, bone-marrow-rich broth layered with ginger, green chile, and warm spices — Pakwan's most praised dish

Chicken Karahi

Wok-cooked chicken in a bold, reduced tomato-and-ginger gravy with charred edges and heat that builds

Seekh Kebab

Spiced ground beef kebabs grilled on skewers, slightly smoky with a tender, coarsely textured interior

Chicken Biryani

Layered basmati rice cooked with marinated chicken and whole spices — aromatic and filling, served with raita

Haleem

Slow-cooked wheat, lentil, and meat porridge with a dense, almost sticky texture — deeply savory and warming

Daal

Simmered lentils finished with a tarka of ghee, cumin, and dried chiles — simple but well-executed

Naan

Soft, blistered flatbread baked to order — essential for scooping up karahi and nihari gravies

Mango Lassi

Thick, sweetened yogurt drink blended with mango — a reliable cooldown for the spicier dishes
