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!

Travelling from chicago wanted to try this place because of its Michelin star but my experience was horrible waited 45 mins to an hour to be seated with a reservation food took exactly 1 hr 20 mins to come. My drink didn’t even come until the food either. Overall not what i was expecting from this place. Food was very mid.

My experience at khan Saab was somewhat obscured due to the service level I received with my partner right from the start we felt segregated and it made us feel uncomfortable if booking a table in advanced gets you this type of service then I would of rather go and asked the same day and at the time I got there to see if the service would of been different, I feel bad for the chefs because the food was very good and I would of love to tip but just for them not the service I received because we connected with the food that helped us feel less out of place but you pay for a full service first impression are very important and I didn’t get the best from this acclaimed Michelin restaurant.

Great experience! The servers know their dishes and I loved how they served us. The food is so delicious and the ambiance is amazing! It’s a great place for date nights, celebrating birthdays and more. Everything is halal and even their drinks are non alcoholic! The drinks taste delicious as well! It’s well worth the price.
