One of The best Pakistani / Indian restaurants in Orange County. Their Sunday Buffet is a must try. Great food. Great teat. It is little crowded in weekends. But overall great place.

Shahnawaz is the best Indian and Pakistani restaurant in the world. It is 5+ stars for the food and the staff are amazing and nice. I really recommend everyone to try this out especially if you are looking for great Indian and Pakistani food. Every time I come to LA I enjoy coming here for Lunch and/ or Dinner. The buffet is amazing and the ribs are the best ribs I have ever had in my life. This is much better than a 5 star rated restaurant. Some people say this place is bad but I do not know what they are talking about. This is not a bad restaurant, this is a great restaurant.

Updated review on 01/22/25:: We had an Awesome new experience for Nehari buffet night on Wednesday. Each adult is $25. They serves several kinds of Neharis (check my pic & video) with rice & plain naan. Nothing can beat this price for all you can eat Nehari with naan. The servers are also awesome and kept coming to our table to take away the used plates. As usual good tasty food with a decent price & awesome service!

Shahnawaz Restaurant is a blessing!!!

This is hands down one of the best places for authentic and high-quality food. The taste, variety, and consistency of their dishes are unmatched. But what truly sets this place apart is the warmth and hospitality with which this family-run business operates.

Every time I’ve visited with my family, the owner, despite not knowing us personally, has gone out of her way to make sure we’re comfortable—especially because we have a toddler. That extra care and attention make the dining experience even more special. It’s rare to find a place where you feel so welcomed and valued as a customer.

If you're looking for amazing food paired with genuine hospitality, Shahnawaz is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Service, food, and ambiance at this Pakistani gem are nothing short of exceptional. The staff's warm hospitality and attentiveness make you feel like family. The food is a symphony of flavors - from the aromatic biryanis to the succulent kebabs, each dish is a culinary masterpiece. The ambiance, with its traditional decor and soothing music, transports you to Pakistan. An unforgettable dining experience!
