Al Watan Halal Restaurant

Food is very good here. Nice and clean establishment with a good ambiance.

The service is also very good with the owners always very cordial.

Have eaten here and number of occasions and will continue to come here for the food whenever I am in this area.

Second time to Al Watan. You don't come here for the ambience or service but for the food.

Overall I would said the food is good as we tried the different number of dishes. We tried the tandoori platter, samosa and lamb and chicken briyani. It was an enjoyable meal especially with 6 of us sharing the meal.

Chicken korma, tandoori chicken , naan bread with sesame in it ( first for me), mango lassi ( very good and a
Lot!) and rice
Lassi was excellent
Ch korma was spicy and flavourful. But the chicken were very small pieces and on the bone. I had to keep fishing out small bones. The chicken was tender , thigh meat
Naan bread was very good as was the rice. The chicken tandoori nice flavour tender but not juicy but not bad at all.
Portions were huge !!
Service was amiable and good suggesting from the waiter.

Definitely try it out and I would come back and try other dishes.

The 4 star is because of the small
Pieces of chicken and the bones.
Ambiance very casual simple

Amazing food, well priced and great portions.
I ordered the Friday dinner special through DoorDash it was prepared/picked up fairly quickly by the dasher. Honestly I was expecting a smaller container but was surprised to see the variety and amount of food I got (which by the way is one of the best Pakistani food I've ever had).
The Friday dinner special included: Naan, chicken Seekh kabob, Chicken tikka -thigh, chicken korma, goat korma, rice, vegetable-sabzi and daal. I also ordered a mango lassi which was pretty good. The only drawback is the forgot to include utensils in my order - so be sure to ask for that if you're placing a to-go order.

I came back again this past weekend and feel like it was even better this time. I ordered the chicken tikka which was perfectly seasoned along with sides of garlic naan and paratha. I was curious to try the paratha but also wanted the garlic naan so why not both?

There was so much chicken I ended up taking most of it home, and it lasted 3-4 extra meals. The workers were all very warm and hospitable and kept checking in to make sure I was enjoying my food. I even ended up coming back later that same day to take an order of seekh kabobs to a friend, and the workers seemed tickled I came back again the same day. I really did enjoy it there and they gave me a chai to drink while I waited for my takeout order. I just wish this place was closer to me!

Al Watan Restaurant is a must-visit if you're searching for a genuinely authentic and flavorful culinary adventure.

This is a long-standing favorite amongst me and my friends, Pakistani or not. The biryani is always a classic authentic choice but they do a great flavorful salan (curry). The prices are fair with great portions. If you get the tikka you'll have a sizzling plate with more than enough meat to share amongst several people. Their chai and mango lassi are also delicious. The staff is extremely friendly and want to help you have an authentic meal. Family friendly, too.

I was born and raised in Southern California, and I've eaten Indian Pakistani food my whole life I think I've been to almost every major restaurant in United States and Al Watan is the best Pakistani restaurant on the West Coast. These guys literally taught the other Indo Pak restaurants in Southern California how to make Naan. They are located in the ghetto but it's truly worth it.
This is a must try for out of towners and locals when you're in the area. I go out of my way to come here.

Local place for Mediterranean foods. We got the chicken biryani, goat curry and lamb shank soup along with garlic naan. Mango Lasi and Turkish tea. The food was bland and not much flavor as the ordered dishes should be. The garlic naan tastes similar to the store bought. The prices are decent and that's it. No frill dining.

Unfortunately, not a southern India food fan. The food was super greasy and very spicy (even the mild.).Had a variety of food such as Chicken Tikka Masala Chicken Korma Chicken with vegetables Chicken Tandoori veggie samosas plain and garlic naan etc. I went with family and they all loved it, it's just not my vibe. Im definitely a northern India food fan. The Chicken Tikka Masala was greasy and more tomato and red sauce based. The Chicken Korma was a little watery and less flavor vs more.

Service was friendly, restaurant was clean and very good for families. Parking was easy. Priced fairly. Area is a little questionable.
