The food was really good. Everything is affordable. The Kathiyawadi Thali was satisfying. You get a bit of every kind of taste, sweet, savory, spicy, neutral. The masala tea without sugar smelled ao amazing.

One of best restaurants for authentic Indian food, especially methi Gota, daal vada, chat, and sandwiches. They also offer authentic Indian sweets which is unbelievably delicious and high quality especially their Churma Ladoo and Methi Pak, which we always buy during our NJ trip. On 2nd April we brought them again and now we regret that why did we buy so less in quantity. They must start delivering to other states. Also there freshly made coffee and tea is must try. I wish they make their franchise in Virginia too. Also

Very Disappointing Experience!! We ordered parathas expecting them to be freshly made, as one would reasonably expect from an Indian restaurant. Instead, it was very clear that these were readymade frozen parathas that were simply cooked and sold as restaurant food. Even more worse, they were severely undercooked and not edible. If I wanted frozen parathas, I could have bought them myself from a grocery store for a fraction of the price. Charging customers for poorly cooked, store-bought items without transparency is unacceptable. This was a complete letdown, and unfortunately, I won’t be ordering again. This experience raises concerns about food quality and value.

This place is amazing. One of those small businesses you love to support. My family has been coming here for years. My picky mother LOVES their methi gota. I highly recommend getting it - it’s crispy yet light/airy. This time I asked for a mild version of the onion pakora and they were happy to accommodate. Apparently the batter is made fresh for each order, so they were able to accommodate. It was fantastic!

The vada pav was the highlight of our lunch order at Pakvaan and it is reasonably good. We came here with much expectation based on the reviews but unless you're truly sold to this establishment - it has not much to offer that's worth it - flavor wise, concoction wise, nor price wise. The dahi puri is okay - and from the photo you will see that it lacks the typical garnish and seasoning sadly. The dabeli was decent but you have Hot Breads next door - theirs is significantly better - this location serves amongst the best dabeli in the US IMO (at least from a few years ago when I last had it). The pav bhaji was passable but didn't really seem freshly cooked. The absolute disasters were the aloo paratha; too dry and seemed like frozen - clearly not made by someone who knew how to. The milkshakes (vanilla) were too milky and lacked the thickness of a proper shake. For the prices charged these were atrocious. Surprisingly, the food goes even lower - the Bombay sandwich is a joke. If you need to experience a real one, then the trip to Little Sicily 2 outside Philadelphia is well with the drive. Just don't eat a couple of meals before you plan it 😉 Service is counter-serve and othe
