   Absolutely fantastic. Our service was great and food was delicious. We had the opposite experience as compared to a number of the poor reviews; please give this place a chance and do not wait as long as we did to find the best food in Fullerton (and we have been to most Fullerton restaurants).

   The food service and the ambience amazing here. I highly advise everybody to try out some of their nonalcoholic cocktails in addition to their specialty Entrees. The servers were very accommodating and suggesting different appetizer and entrée items. Overall, I had a great experience and will be returning here very soon

   While the service was not exactly lightning fast, the food was served thoughtfully with a sense of care from the kitchen. The nonalcoholic drinks are appreciated and the seasonings seemed quite appropriate. I will say that the ice creams are not made for sharing which was a slight disappointment. We enjoyed the pappadum and its raita, tamarind, and chutney dipping sauces. I wish this establishment continued success.

   really good Indian food. Inventive and really tasty. Service was great. I like beer with my Indian Food and although they don't have beer with alcohol, they had plenty of choices for beer w/o alcohol and honestly, that was fine!

    Fantastic flavors and really could tell the chef had mastery over what he/she was creating. Presentation of the dishes was also very nice. Definitely recommend the Chicken Karahi. Best indian curry dish I’ve had at a restaurant in America. Pleasantly surprised! Will be coming back.

    I've been to Khan Saab lots of times, and the food is always consistently fantastic. There has not been a single thing on the menu that I tried and did not like. My go-to items are the goat cheese kulcha (a stuffed naan), malai chicken tikka, smoked beef kabab, and the biryani. Definitely try some of their delicious mocktails, too, and the smoked Negroni is my favorite. It's best to make reservations, especially on the weekends, as they can get quite busy.

    The salmon and shrimp masala entries were fabulous and reasonably priced. We sat outside so had street noise, but the interior looks very nice and we will eat indoors next time. Service was superior.

    Great ambiance. Great service. Really impressive drink menu considering it's a non-alcoholic Muslim joint. Food presentation across the board was outstanding. The bhel puri and pani puri were really great. The main dishes needed more seasoning. Paneer Tikka was under-seasoned. Chola was underseasoned. Daal Bukhara was really good but a bit heavy on the butter/ghee component. The gulab jamun was outstanding -- very creative with the nutella.

    I came to LA for a vacation with my wife. I found this halal restaurant on OpenTable App and booked the reservation. We ordered Pani Puri, bun with keema (I forgot the name), chicken karahi, and lamb chop. The food was so tasty, like Karachi style. We are glad that we visit this restaurant. I strongly recommend this restaurant! We will go back again when we travel to LA. All waiters are on the floor to help customers. The cook/owner, Ali, was so humble and down to earth. He came to our table and asked for our feedback about the food. They all were great and friendly. Thank you for great food and hospitality.

    I expected a lot from this restaurant and was a bit disappointed. The food overall lacked flavor. Our drinks did not follow their respective description, the appetizers were not the correct temperature or texture, the meat entrees were super greasy, was a turn off, and the breads were too yeasty and dry. While I want to give this place another chance, I’m not ready to back yet.

    People usually pay for the experience or quantity or even quality, in this case I would say there was non. Quality is OK, some dishes are good others just ok. Experience and presentation are not great. Quantity, it depends, but would consider it as a expensive place.

    This is the second time that food has taken forever to arrive. Despite a reservation, we were seated 30 mins later and waited another 40 mins for food to arrive before giving up and leaving without eating. The time before this it also took more than an hour for food to arrive which they attributed to some mishap in the kitchen. Mishaps don’t happen every time.

    Excellent and innovative takes on Desi food. Non-alcoholic drinks that look real and have their own great taste. The food is quite delicious. Close enough to traditional fare to satisfy your parents with new twists that keep it fresh. Highly recommend.

    We attended Khan Saab Desi Craft Kitchen as a group of four. When we arrived, a server was lighting candles at tables. We were sitting right there, and she ignored our table. She also ignored all other tables with people sitting at them. So no candle illumination for them or us. We ordered our food. It took a half hour for it to arrive. We had to remind the waitress that we were waiting for our food. She never came by to ask us how we were doing in the 30 minutes that we waited for our food. No suggestion to order an appetizer because the food would take so long getting to us. No apologies for the long wait. This was just a thoroughly uncourteous and cold experience. Never going there again. And there are no samosas or other traditional Indian appetizers.

    The food, while it had amazing notes and flavor profiles, needed more salt. It always baffles me when chefs, especially at highly rated restaurants, don’t season food adequately. Additionally, the heater was on during service and it got too hot as it was in the 70’s outside. It felt like I was sweltering in the Kashmiri heat. Overall, the restaurant could use an upgrade in their delivery of hospitality to take it to the next level. Otherwise, it will just end up being another Fullerton restaurant that is good, but not up to the challenge of being great.

    Portions are great if you're a toddler. Unfortunately, we were all adults. Bread came out burnt. We asked for another one and it never came. Food wasn't horrible but not very good. We are Desi and know how the food is supposed to taste. We were wondering why the service was so bad and found out when we got the bill that they add an automatic 18% gratuity for any parties over 4. No alcohol. The bill was absurd $$$$. Needless to say, we will NOT be back.

    The best food surprise we have found in a while. Everything is flavorful and delicious, be daring, you’ll like it all. Very attentive service. The mocktails are great! Stay away from the bottled sodas, they’re really overpriced unlike the rest of the menu. We will be telling all of our friends about this place.

    We were there for a res at 4:30pm. A couple came in 15 mins after us but got a waiter asking them what they wanted before coming to us. And then we still had to wait maybe 10 minutes. Place was not busy at that time. Once ordered, the food took a very long time to show up. Seemed like a half hour. I understand it could be from problems with hiring people now— so I let that go. The food was definitely aspirational, and sometimes was very well spiced. But I think for what they are trying to do they miss the mark on layering spices in their dishes. A few of the chicken dishes we got had meat that was cooked too long. Same with the Rogan Josh and even the shrimp curry. Naan was amazing. The tamarind shooters inventive and fun. Same with the chai shot at end of meal. We tried about 5 main dishes and can group favorite was the chicken that came in the wok (presentation is fantastic here).
