Excellent food and efficient service. The wall art is fun to read too.

Zareen’s is a definite favorite for me and my friends in terms of restaurants near Stanford campus! Food is delicious and well-spiced. I often order the palak methi paneer plate, and the chicken tikka masala plate is a friend’s most-liked.The restaurant can get pretty busy especially at peak times, so sometimes there is a bit of a wait to order. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating (with heating) which is nice.

Really good! I love how the use high quality food. Chicken tastes real and not like those square cubes you always get at other Indian restaurants. Dishes are pouring with flavors and deliciousness!Top recommendations:Chicken Tika MassalaChicken sizzlerChicken somosasLentils <<< not sure what they call it :PMango lassi < don’t drink before food cause it’ll make you fullAnd also food is halal!Enjoy!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jalapeño cheese naan

This it’s the worst service I ever seen, they never have what they offers in the menu, their workers are rude, they told me to cancel the order if I don’t want to wait, because they have a lot of clients and they don’t care of me going away, they don’t even speak well English or Spanish, as I don’t understand anything of what they where speaking, I don’t recommend the service in this place, the restrooms where super nasty also.

Taste was good, felt pricy for the food they served. Do not waste your money on Chicken Samosa

This Zareen was the 1st location. Before the pandemic, the vibe was much nicer. The food quality was higher as well. The place does not have the same look and feel and energy as before. I was not impressed when the last time I was here at Zareen Pakistani Kitchen in California Avenue, Palo Alto. The new location in Mountain View seems to be taking the most attention these days. The common trap for the local restaurants, expanding and going corporate, partner with Doordash, and UberEat, and gradually replace everything with kiosks, ipads, and robots.

Visited for iftar today ! Amazing food and a cozy atmosphere. Truly worth the wait! Specially gola kebab and grilled chicken boti sizzler was hit ❤️

Zareen’s is easily my new go-to Indian place. Everything was absolutely delicious. Service was really fast. You order at a counter and they bring food out to you when it’s ready. Seating is limited but they have both indoor and outdoor available. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!
