Food was very flavorful with large portions! We made a reservation for Sunday evening but didn’t need one, the restaurant wasn’t very busy. The ambiance inside the restaurant was very nice. I ordered the chai White Russian cocktail which was interesting. Our table of four shared three entrees— goat biriyani, butter chicken, and aloo matar— and had enough for leftovers. We ordered everything medium spicy which was perfect. Each meat entree had plenty of meat pieces. Overall it was an expensive meal but we all thought it was worth it!

*Pakeezah Indian Cuisine Review*
I recently dined at Pakeezah Authentic Indian Cuisine in Bozeman, MT, and had a mixed experience. Here’s my take:
*Food Highlights:*
– *Yellow Dal:* This dish was a standout, with rich and authentic flavors that I’d highly recommend.
– *Saag Paneer and Baigan Bharta:* These dishes were okay, but didn’t quite live up to my expectations. Perhaps they weren’t prepared to my taste, but still enjoyable.
*Service:*
– The service was good, but a bit slow. Our server was friendly, but seemed overwhelmed at times, taking a while to attend to our needs.
*Ambiance:*
– The restaurant has a rich ambiance with a romantic atmosphere, making it a great spot for a night out.
*Prices:*
– Unfortunately, the prices were quite expensive, which might be a deterrent for some. While the quality of food was good, the cost was noticeable ¹.
*Overall Experience:*
– Despite some drawbacks, I’d still recommend Pakeezah for its authentic Indian flavors and pleasant atmosphere. If you’re craving Indian food in Bozeman and budget isn’t a concern, give it a try.
*Rating:* 4/5 stars
*Tips:*
– Try their yellow dal, it’s a winner!
– Be prepared for slower service, especially if your server seems busy.
– Consider checking for gratuity charges, as some reviewers mentioned they weren’t explicitly mentioned on the menu.

Visited this place during my trip to Montana.
Restaurant ambience looks rich. Surprisingly chairs we sat badly stained.
Service is fast and staff are amazing.Food is super expensive .
Food portions are not great. I will not say food is authentic Indian but they are trying to be authentic.
Overall if you are craving Indian food and your budget permits then this is the place go in Bozeman area.

The food here is top notch and meets the standards of the Bozeman food scene. A good local mom and pop restaurant with good service and even went as far to offer us extra rice to finish the curry sauce. Food is well seasoned (went with spice level 3) will definitely be back soon!

Staff was very nice, the restaurant has a great atmosphere and is decorated well. The food left me wanting more flavor, it wasn’t bad but it didn’t have the Indian spices I’m used to. The dishes my Indian wife and I got were the tandoori chicken and bullet naan. We were told they were very spicy but this was not the case unfortunately. The mango lassi was okay, more watery than I’m used to but flavor was still good. Rice with cumin was delicious.

I love Pakeezah. I’ve always loved Pakeezah. It’s been a go to example of how Bozeman has better food than it has any right to. It’s always been great Indian food. They got pricier over the years, but hey it’s Bozeman that’s just the way it goes. They still made great food. However the last few times I’ve gone there’s been smaller portions, for more money, and it’s worse. It breaks my heart, but it’s just not worth it anymore.

What the hell pakeezah. Door dashed an order for butter chickens because i talk you guys up to everyone, now I cant stand to try your food again, got my order and instantly knew the quality of curry went down durastically. My thick and beautifully colored butter chicken was turned into a bland and watery mess. I thought you guys were better than this.. Guess i still have curry express but even then I am hesitant to ever go again.

My wife and I got the mixed grill(most expansive thing on the menu) Tasted like I ate two week old meat. Absolutely dry, and just bottom line horrible. And we also got chicken biryani. Dry, dry chicken and no flavor. Taste like the food was old. I will never return I would not recommend. Service was also poor. Not to mention vastly overpriced.

I was pleasantly suprised by this resteraunt. Flavors felt varied and authentic. I really appreciated the flavors that this Indian place had.
I always reccomend naan, try a curry that you might not have tried before and a classic. The butter chicken taste exactly how you’d expect and hit that craving.

Please be careful with this place, me and my partner got food poisoning from eating here. The night of New Years Eve, our server was nice but the food is a different story. Coming in, I know they were very busy but the floors were so dirty and full of food. I chose to ignore it because we were very hungry and we were so excited to try their food. We both got chicken tiki masala and coconut naan. The food made us throw up all night and until now we are still having stomach issues. Don’t waste your money here, go elsewhere.
