    We were a party of 12 and were assigned a waiter who wasn't paying any attention. Had to wait for 15 minutes even to get water. Wasn't ready to take the drink order either. When she took it she got it wrong. There was no service for 30 minutes. This is a non alcoholic bar and the drinks aren't that great. Soon they changed the waiter, and after that, it was good service. The food was excellent and authentic. It was good value for money. Will be going there again. Parking is a problem. So, suggest to check the street or next building for parking.

    My family’s favorite spot! Firstly, hats off to management and the staff. 10 stars! They are fabulous. We’ve ordered most of the menu honestly and there is nothing I wouldn’t reccomend but my top favorite items would be the Saag, cheese naan, lacha paranta, smoky kebab, and OMG the karahi chicken…. The lamb chops are outstanding also :) oh and the mango lassi! Must haves. Located next to a parking garage, always great to make a reservation beforehand (it’s always packed!) this place is a desi gem. Thanks Khan Saab - See you soon!

    I recently dined at Khan Saab Desi Craft Kitchen, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The ambiance is warm and inviting, with an elegant touch that sets the perfect mood for enjoying a meal. The food was beyond incredible – every dish we tried was packed with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The biryani was aromatic and perfectly spiced, and the butter chicken was rich and creamy, melting in my mouth. The highlight for me was their kebabs, which were grilled to perfection. The service was outstanding as well – the staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. You can truly feel their passion for delivering a top-notch dining experience. Whether you’re a fan of Indian/Pakistani cuisine or new to it, Khan Saab is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu. Highly recommend!

    The waitress delayed our food. The appetizer was served after an hour when we called her to inquire about the food status. She said sorry I didn’t go through in the system. She didn’t bother to check in between. There were many servers but this particular one was slow in customer service.

    Had a great time celebrating some birthdays. They handled our large group with aplomb, bringing out food to the whole group at roughly the same time. Food was delicious. Prices were reasonable, and portions were generous.

    We had Sloppy Khan appetizer. Wow such wonderful spices! Malai (cheese) naan was freshly baked and so scrumptious. Chicken Karahi for our main dish was amazing, full of flavor and just the right heat. Chocolate Samosa dessert was decadently yummy! We live in OC, but there are so many interesting things on the menu we want to try, we're coming back!
