I have visited this Restaurant several times in past 6 years. Pre covid the place was awesome the Saturday / Sunday Buffet was excellent and the place used to be jam packed. I feel over the years the quality of food has depleted and so is the customer service. I hope they can improve.

I think this place gets a lot of unnecessary hate. It’s not here to impress you with ambiance, nor song choice, nor functionality. It’s here to hit you on Sundays with a massive food selection, free-flowing soft drinks / mango lassi, and fresh kebabs + beef ribs right off the charcoal grill and onto your plate.
At $30 ($35 after tip because don’t be mean), this place packs extreme value, and has over 20 dishes. Standouts include the BBQ ribs, the CTM, the Saag Paneer, and salad section.
I would definitely recommend, and cannot wait to come back.

Very good Pakistani restaurant.
We got there right when opened at 11:30am. Some customers picked up there takeout.
It was a Saturday and they did not have not buffet.
The tandoori chicken was tasty and not dry and pretty good. The Naheri beef stew was spicy and meat soft and melted in our mouths. The garlic was so good we could not stop eating it.
The owner came by to check on us and told us the history of the restaurant.
Would come back again.

The food was so delicious! I love the grilled options that are being freshly made in the back on the grill!
The dessert is so delicious too and a perfect way to wrap up the meal! The staff is very sweet as well and will do anything they can to help your experience be a 5 star always!

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.

No customer service at all, food was empty half of the time, plates were rarely available, there was never any food at the open barbecue, and lines were way too long. They need to work harder to accommodate for the amount of people that show up. They were clearly not prepared. I asked the owner/manager that a certain dish was empty and she responded with “what do you expect, this is a buffet”. Overall, terrible service and experience and the food was not even top quality for such an experience. Would not recommend.

Save yourself donnot go here. Poor ambiance, sticky floors, stale food – literally its just sitting in trays, full of oil. Bbq does not have any flavor. The music choice is so nonsense and vulgar. Would not recommend. Tables are also so dirty and sticky. Go here if you don’t value your health and have poor taste in food.
I barely could eat one chicken boti. $30 for this meal was a joke

You are in for a long wait times. We waited over half hour for our order to arrive. We almost walked away. Food does taste good especially the grill items are popular. Remember to order grill items. Parking is available but its hard to find a spot especially peak hours. Its close to mall and other asian resturants. The vibe is good and ambience is very desi. Staff are friendly and they do check if the food is good.

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.

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!
