The Nawabs Kitchen - Fremont

The food here is very good, I especially like the paneer dishes. I have dined in and also ordered takeout; the portion sizes are good and I like that it’s not as oily as some other places. I’m withholding a star because their to-go containers are absolutely terrible: flimsy, difficult to close, and equally difficult to open later at home. It’s ridiculously frustrating and I wish the restaurant would invest in some better take-home ware.

The food is very pricey it’s not worth it so it was my first and last visit here. I ordered two nan and one goat curry they charged me $30 and there was only two pieces of meat and the rest was garbage.

I have been a long-time patron of this restaurant, but I have noticed a decline in the quality of their non-vegetarian dishes in recent years. The vegetarian options, however, have been consistently delicious. The kulcha with chana was particularly enjoyable, as was the malai kofta. The daal makhni and paneer gravy were also excellent. Unfortunately, some of my old favorites like the chicken malai Tikka and chooza e shahi have not been as good as they used to be. I have stopped ordering certain dishes like the awadhi biryani due to a decrease in quality. The Yakhni pulao was also disappointing, resembling a pile of thick gravy on rice. Despite these shortcomings, I still visit this restaurant on occasion for a change of pace, although I no longer frequent it as often as I used to.

My coworkers and I ordered takeout from here for lunch on a Friday. We ordered online through their website for pick-up. Pick-up was pretty smooth as I arrived when they said the food would be ready, and it was ready when they said it was.I ordered the Paneer Makhani with Rice off of their lunch combo menu. It was pretty delicious. The portion size was larger than I was expecting as well. My coworkers also enjoyed their items. One of my coworkers added a note to make it extra spicy, and it was indeed extra spicy. My coworkers and I decided we would put the restaurant into our Friday lunch rotation.

The food at this restaurant is excellent. Despite arriving close to closing time, the staff graciously accommodated us and served hot and delicious food. I highly recommend the Prawn Coconut Curry along with some naan. I give the food a rating of 5 out of 5.
