    I am from Canada and visiting Ontario for work. One of the best place for a desi food. First time came to this area on business trip. Showed up on Friday night around 8:30pm without reservations and lady at front was very accommodating Server was very helpful and explain all menu. Excellent experience. It was so good that we went again Saturday night with reservation. Great taste and amazing food presentation. Keep up the great service.

    The food is absolutely outstanding! My favorite is the Smoked Salmon! Everyone in our large party loved the food. It’s a little loud so difficult to talk. The service was excellent as well. We have moved out of OC and it’s always the place we want to go back to when we visit family!

    This was supposed to be a novel experience with Pakistani food, which I love! We tried all the kabobs, it was disappointing. Pakistani food is so much better. The Karahi chicken should be chicken cooked in the Karahi. Instead it was boneless pre-boiled chicken dipped in the sauce! Use chicken with bones for the flavor... you are putting good Pakistani cuisine to disrepute!

    EXCELLENT!! The food & service was so good, we went twice in 1 week! Highly recommended you make a reservation at an early time. Attention from your server can lessen as it gets busier, naturally. All the dishes, from appetizer, entrees, and desserts,, have such deeply developed flavors. Our favorite dish is the Shrimp Masala Curry. The Boneless Ribeye Steak is perfectly seasoned & cooked. It's accompanied by a garlic butter dipping sauce that you should just pour on the plate, so the mashed potato & steak just sits on it! We will definitely be coming back with a larger group so we can order more dishes & share the wonderful experience of this restaurant's cuisine!

    We went as a group of 4 and were very excited for the food. We had heard a lot about khan saab and saw it was michelin recommended. However we really found the food to be under seasoned and under spiced. We order tandoori chicken, seekh kabab and tandoori shrimp for apps, and lamb rogan josh, kadhai chicken and biryani for entrées. The feeling was the same for everything, the food overall could have tasted better. We are unlikely to visit again.

From the quality of their food (fresh, flavorful, fun with the presentation) to the absolute professionalism and kindness of their staff, it’s perfect. Well worth the drive and the price!

    Perfection. From the warm and attentive service, to the food presentation and flavor, to the overall feeling of enjoying a meal here with family and friends: I cannot give enough praise to the excellence of Khan Saab. We had a large party to celebrate a birthday and out of town family visiting. Everyone is still talking about the unique flavors of the Pakistani / Afghan cuisine. Also, the service was impeccable. Our waitress Sara led a seamless, efficient, and attentive team. This place deserves every award and accolade that it has earned over the past few years. It was my family's third time there, and we eagerly look forward to our next visit.

    This food was flavorful and unique in Fullerton. The food quality was very fine, and the drinks were excellent. Many of the menu items were so varied and well-presented. Favorites were the beef kabob and the chickpeas with fry bread. The service was attentive and the place was abuzz with families and friends sharing a meal. Dessert needs work. Felt bad for the outdoor tables adjacent to the parking garage. We will definitely be back.

    This restaurant never fails to impress with it's wonderful food. We both had the butter chicken, which is just delicious. Our server was attentive and efficient. The best restaurant for Indian food that I've been to and one of the few offering butter chicken, my favorite item on their menu. Oh, and the tumeric tea is absolutely amazing. Very comforting on a cold, rainy evening.

    Our waiter Ravi? Could not hear clearly, but our waiter on 11Mar23 was the young shorter and stocky man who had a very good smile and friendly attitude and he was friendly to explain any question we had on the presentation of entree dishes in round metal containers. He represented the restaurant ambience very well and was welcoming in his customer service. It would have helped customers if you have a big welcome sign on the entrance door nearest the garage parking so customers do not need to walk around the commonwealth street side entrance /exit doorway. It was nice that Khan Saab Desi participated in the Orange County Restaurant Week offering with special combination prices.
