I’m visiting San Jose next month for a conference from Seattle. We don’t have as many authentic Indian restaurants up here as there are in the Bay Area. Can you guys suggest me the popular and authentic Indian Pakistani restaurant that I can visit (that are frequented by Indians themselves)? I’m looking for meat dish, Pakistani style food. I’m also looking for chaat and street food style places. I’ll be staying in San Jose but I’m willing to travel as far as San Francisco for the right food 😉
Shalimar ftw.
There are many. But only Shalimar on Jones in the tenderloin is what you want to hit up. Very sketchy area though
Cool! Thanks for suggestion — will look it up.
Shalimar used to be good but it’s average now. Try Zareens in MV/Palo Alto for authentic Karachi styled street food. Or Peshawar kababs in Union City. Both are top notch!
Zareen’s in Palo Alto or Mountain View
Pav Bhaji Hut. A food truck in the South Bay. Look up its location when you’re looking to go on yelp
Thanks — sounds yum 😋!

Zareens Mountain View, Shan ( N 1st Street) and Shalimar ( Fremont)
Zareens. Pakwan.
Aslams rasoi in SF. Pakwan wherever (multiple locations). Try shahs in Sunnyvale.
Shalimar in SF is the best
