Zareens Palo Alto - Palo Alto (CA)

5 /5 Avais Sherani: This is a big branch of the most popular Pakistani restaurant in the Bay Area. This is a nice branch with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant gets very busy on weekends for all times including brunch, lunch, evening, and dinner. The menu is vast with plenty of options for snacks and meals. There are both meat based as well as vegetarian options, which are smartly written in green ink. The food tastes really authentic, the portion sizes are super generous, and the prices are relative to the quality and quantity. The staff are very nice, despite being really busy they make sure to attend to you. Food is also delivered pretty fast. Seating is only assigned by the staff and even at busier hours they do it quickly. Highly recommended for good quality Halal Pakistani food.

5 /5 Poonam Bhat: Dined here on a weeknight and the lines at 7 pm were long . But they had ample seating with heaters in the parklet and we had a good dining experience . The food did live up to the hype . We had paneer tikka and palak methi thalis with garlic naans . The food was fresh, non greasy and the daal was lip smackingly delicious. Portions were generous . The thali came with greens mix and a chickpea salad , both were yummy . Very friendly customer service. Highly recommend this restaurant.

5 /5 Bora Jung: As a Vietnamese girl who is OBSESSED with South Asian food, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ZAREEN’S!!! This is definitely not my first time here. I work at “store nearby and have seen your team come into my store in uniform>>>>once I saw the branding, I was like okayyy, it’s time to visit you guys back LOL So yes, shoutout to your employees for bringing the sale back LOL. The food? AMAZING. Always. I’ve had similar food in Fremont and Sunnyvale, but Zareen’s just hits DIFFERENT. Every single time. But the REAL star is the customer service. Like honestly… I don’t even have words. It’s the main reason I keep coming back again and again. HUGE shoutout to Sergio, Rishi, and ARS :)!!!!! you guys are incredible. Just know I love you all so much and truly appreciate everything you do!!!

5 /5 K Z: Amazing as always, service is to the point. I came back after five or six years and it didnt disappoint! Our food came so quickly too. Food was very fresh and tasty, did not taste like it was sitting out at all. We are told that this place usually has a pretty long wait but surprisingly on a Friday afternoon Thanksgiving weekend we got a table pretty quickly. Theyve expanded this restaurant significantly to where they have tons of seating inside and outside. When the weather is good, you definitely want to sit outside. There are heaters if it ever gets a little cold. Zareens is now a staple in the Bay Area, not to miss when youre here!

5 /5 Arthur T: Awesome spot! Been here a few times with coworkers and then brought family. Food comes out fresh and has great flavors. Definitely will get crowded during peak times. Once you order, grab a table, and staff brings the food out to you. Street parking + garage parking.
