Absolutely amazing service and food here, I highly recommend it. My family and I have been to their other location, Khan Saab, and decided to try Shor, and it did not disappoint. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Iqbal, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. He truly took care of us and made us feel at home. Our server Ali was also wonderful. He walked us through the menu, offered great recommendations, and was consistently respectful and attentive.

The food was full of flavor and the spices were perfect, reminding my parents of the food back home in Pakistan. We are very picky about authentic Pakistani dishes, but this chain is amazing. The lamb rogan josh, CTM, Peshawari karahi, saag, dahi puri, and the potato appetizer were all exceptional. Every dish tasted fresh, balanced, and made with care. We will definitely be back and are excited to visit their Mint location in Laguna as well.

Absolutely fantastic dining experience! Beautiful interior, delicious food, and friendly staff.

Food was all explosive with flavors and cooked to perfection. We especially liked the tandoori chicken, garlic naan, and the lamb curry.

Knowing that we’ve just moved to LA and never had Pakistani food before, our server gave us the dahi puri yogurt balls and 2 cocktails on the house. It was such a pleasant surprise and they’re all delicious!

Will definitely return with more friends!

Khan Saab Desi Craft Kitchen, previously named Shor, is my favorite Pakistani restaurant in the area.
Whenever you arrive inside the restaurant you are met with the utmost hospitality. All the food arrives fresh and hot. You can never go wrong with the chicken tikka masala or the karahi. I highly recommend bringing your family here for a delicious meal and amazing vibes. Before I forget, the Pina colada Mocktail is one of the best I’ve ever tried!!

Khan Saab’s has been on my list for over a year after hearing amazing things about their Fullerton location, so I was so excited to see them expand to Hawaiian Gardens. We started with a mango lassi and pani puri, and the nihari was hands down my favorite. It’s so hard to find done right, and this one tasted incredibly authentic and brought me straight back to my childhood. We also tried the tandoori chicken and loved how the biryani was served with the naan crust on top. The gulab jamun at the end was to die for. Beautiful space, thoughtful details everywhere, and such warm, caring staff. Can’t wait to come back.

When it comes to any ethnic but particularly Indian or Pakistani restaurants, usual mindset is don’t expect anything decent let alone fancy, don’t expect cleanliness, forget about hygiene, don’t expect anything close to even being called “service”, and last expect extreme variability / inconsistency so basically play a guessing game about “how good today’s food might be”…. Well in case of SHOR, you’ll be amazed that all of the above nightmares are proven wrong. This is simply amazing family place to enjoy amazing food. Best thing is, it’s all halal (per the staff – hand slaughtered!).

Honestly shocked to see any critical reviews of this place. What a find.

Restaurant is beautiful, high quality everything. Ali our waiter was remarkably hospitable, on time, pleasant and even fun to work with. Food knocked us off our (very comfortable) booth seats. Absolutely delicious and well executed, not to mention affordable. We woke up talking about it. Can’t wait to go back.

Thank you!

Shor’s location and external appearance belies the elegant and tastefully designed interior. Wonderfully subtle colors and decor that doesn’t overwhelm the senses. It is very tastefully done.

The staff are very friendly and professional. They welcomed our party warmly and helped us feel at home very quickly and effortlessly. The drinks are non-alcoholic, but they taste great.

The appetizers were very tasty. The kale chips were a fantastic little treat to get things started. The tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, batata puri, and masala papad were excellent and the sauce pairings were perfectly done. I particularly enjoyed the goat cheese kulcha. It was paired with a slightly spicy chutney that perfectly balanced the goat cheese.

The main course was delicious. Our party had the chicken kadhai and shrimp curry with an assortment of naans. The chicken so tender it pulled off the bone, the shrimp perfectly cooked. The flavors had also marinated the meat very well. I enjoyed the flavors tremendously.

We had no room for dessert, but we shared a Kunafa that was amazing. I wouldn’t have been able to have one by myself, but the spoon that I had was a great conclusion to the meal.

Overall, this place is great for a party or a date. You won’t feel rushed, and it allows for conversations. I will plan a return to this place in the near future.

We are so excited that Khan Saab decided to open another restaurant in LA County! It’s incredibly hard to find Desi restaurants(Indian or Pakistani) that not only have an exceptional home cooked style but refined food AND also have a great vibe. It’s a beautiful restaurant-super stylish-and the service is always welcoming and on point. If you’re just looking to go out to dinner or if wanting to celebrate something special, this is the place. Hands down the best Desi food near the Artesia/Cerritos/Long Beach area-I would say probably the best in LA. We love everything we’ve tried-the kebabs are 10/10, the karhai and biryani is delicious and the vegetarian options are so so good (definitely try the saag paneer). Do yourself a favor and go!

I would reserve my review for vegetarians only. Because we don’t eat meat and I cannot comment on their meat items. However, for my vegetarian perspective, I must say their soft, buttery warm naan, rice, and paneer tikka masala were really excellent.
The best part however, is the dessert.
For the sweet tooth, I think they Gulab Jambu with chocolate, which I think should be called “Dubai Jambu” because it tasted exactly like Dubai chocolate with pistachios on top and warm gulab jambu was absolutely incredible. I really enjoyed this dessert. Richly flavorful and authentic.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating of our vegetarian diet. They could convert any of their dishes to vegetarian as requested.
My kids really enjoy this place and I’m sure we’re returning for our veggie favorites.

My first experience at Shor was incredible! For starters, their service was welcoming and attentive. I was impressed by the restaurant’s ambiance and the stunning architecture/decor. The food was excellent, and as a Nihari enthusiast, this dish ranks in my top three favorites. I particularly enjoyed the Passion Mocktail, which had just the right amount of sweet strawberry flavor. Overall, I will definitely come back again! 🙂
