Worst restaurant ever visited. Always misses some item in the order and order was never ready always we had to wait for 30 – 40 mins though we ordered 45 mins back

Terrific. I’ve eaten a lot of Indian in my time and as for Charlotte this place is up there with copper. I wish there were more of these places around. I wonder if they franchise? Great service, food was delicious and prices were reasonable. OMN! Oh my naan. The garlic naan is the best in the city. Served whole, thin and crispy.

What a great little find! This unassuming restaurant in Pineville is about as authentic as it gets here in the Charlotte area. The spices and flavors were so fresh and delicious. And the service was great which sadly is not usually case for other Indian restaurants in the area. The owner and the chef both came out at different times to see how everything was going! I saw they have a buffet from 12 – 3 so I will be back soon to check it out!

Once again Unilocal saves the day! We were in an unknown area of Charlotte and in the mood for some Indian food. This place had good reviews so we decided to try it. We made it just in time for the buffet which had a nice variety of food. They were very accommodating and let my wife order off the menu. All the food was very tasty and fresh. Most dishes were spicy so beware if you have a sensitive stomach. If you’re in the area try it out.

Family run restaurant and it’s lovely. There are images along the wall of you would like to know what your food looks like. Or you can browse the numerous pictures here on Unilocal! I have never had Pakistan rice or palak paneer before. Different, but delicious! The naan I ordered came on its own wicker tray which was cute. Waaaay more food than I could eat on my own. My server was nice and made sure I was comfortable. The owner seemed concerned when I didn’t finish my food so I know he genuinely cared if I had enjoyed my dinner. No worries, I loved it!

I really wish I could give this place another star, but it just didn’t earn it. The veggie samosa was very flavorful but greasy. The chicken samosa was dry. My chicken boti was really good. The chicken Korma was very nice too. Naan is a separate order. It was cooked correctly. This cost us $ 28, not including the tip. As mentioned in other reviews, expect to wait. We were there about an hour. One customer left without getting food after 45 minutes. Another waited 30 minutes for take out after calling in 20 minutes earlier. Both waitresses were new. Ours was good but seemed thrown into the fire. The other maybe never worked before. If Zafran can get food out quicker, lower their prices or increase portions, and train their wait staff, I would go back. Otherwise, no.

This place is hidden jewel! I was delighted to stumble upon it. If you are craving seriously authentic Indo/Pakistani spot you should check out this place. It’s a family owned business that can deliver on all tastebuds. You can end your meal with soothing chai and it’s a great way to close out your meal. They accept all forms of payment. Whenever I am in the pineville area I stop by to indulge. Please open up another store uptown!!!

The bf has been raving about this place for a while so we decided to go for takeout earlier this week when in the Pineville area running errands. We ordered the chicken tikka, shahi paneer, and two peshawaree naans which came out to about $ 30 after tax, not cheap but, not the most pricey I’ve seen. The owner is a very nice man who seems to run Zafran’s with his relatives. The takeout food takes about 25 – 30 minutes after you call in your order. There’s a little european market next to Zafran’s I like to browse it to pass the time. We get home and the chicken tikka masala is extremely good, I actually didn’t expect it to be this good. I asked for spicy though, not as hot as I would have liked but, the flavor was there. The shahi paneer, not so much. It had all the key elements of normal shahi paneer(creamy, tomatoey, etc.) but, severely lacked flavor and spice. The curry itself was way to watery also. Bland indian food is inedible, the bf was super upset. Note, this place is known for its Halal, I should have known better and stuck to the meat. The matar keema looked pretty good, maybe I’ll try that next time. The peshawaree naan is awesome! Huge and fluffy, though the price has been raised since the last time the bf was here. All in all, good. Will come back again for more, I wouldn’t recommend this place to my herbivore friends.

If you want mediocre, american indian food, dont come here! Best indian/pakistani food around! Drove all the way from sumter, sc to eat the food. Worth the drive. The service was very personable and the food was authentic. I was born and raised in india and the food here reminds me of the kebabs on the streets of india. Hope they stay in business forever. Finally, somebody taking pride in the quality of their indian food.

I had lunch at this place for the first time and I am impressed. Food(I had the buffet) was amazing, tasty, well presented. I had a little of chicken tikka masala, a little of tandoori BBQ chicken, a little of Afghan rice, salad and naan. Dessert was rice pudding. The place while small was very clean. I’m coming back for sure to try a pretty wide food offering.

I’ve passed by here so many times without noticing it. I saw on here that the reviews were awesome and had to try this place out. There is parking up front but also in the back. We had to park in the back. We came on a saturday at lunch time and they were pretty busy. It’s a smaller restaurant so it was crowded. When you walk in, it’s chaotic. We didn’t know if we seat ourselves or if someone else did. We didn’t see anyone that was available to ask. We ended up getting a booth. There is a water station where you get your own cup and water. They do have canned sodas as well. We saw someone at the register and asked if we had to order the buffet or if we could just go and he said we could just go. They have a smaller selection in the buffet area but everything they had were the popular items so I wasn’t disappointed. I usually just eat the chicken tikka masala and the tandoori chicken and they had both. The tikka masala was pretty popular. I had to wait for more to come out because there wasn’t any chicken. The tandoori chicken was awesome. It was honestly probably one of the best I’ve had in charlotte. It was fall off the bone chicken and it was just delicious. After we got done eating, we paid at the register and went on our way. Overall, pretty pleased with this place. Now that we know the ropes around this place, it won’t be as chaotic to us.

First ever Pakistani/north Indian place in Charlotte. Must say, it is good. Took 1 star out because it took more than 45 mins for food to arrive. Service is ok, we had to ask for water etc ourselves after waiting for more than 10 mins at the table. Now, about food — Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Kabab were very good. Tried Chicken samosa but it disappointed, it was way too oily. Something was terribly wrong with the samosa pastry but the stuffing was indeed good. Kadhai Chicken had some poultry smell, may be because of instant cooking at very high temperature, the sauce was very good. Finally, the naans — Peshavari naan was awesome, garlic naan was better than usual. Mango lassi was good. Salty lassi was light enough to enjoy with rest of the meal without overpowering other flavors. Overall food here is good, basic spices, nothing too fancy. Liked it. They can add a couple of kid friendly dishes. Our son did not enjoy kababs as much and there wasnt any other option.

I have eaten here twice… each time has been the buffet. I have to say that the food is absolutely delicious. Every bite was bursting with flavor. I love the owner. He is very friendly and made us feel welcomed each time we went. I have never tried Indian/Pakistani but one thing is for sure, the food was made with love… because the food was amazing… the use of all the different spices will make your tastebuds sing. This little gem is definitely our new favorite. This place is definitely worth a try.

Amazing food! I got take out — lahori channa masala, and afghani rice with chicken kebabs. Also garlic naan with chutney and raita. It’s was delicious, especially the channa masala. The only issue is that I requested chicken biryani and they didn’t have any that was«fresh». This leads to me believe they really cook everything fresh so I didn’t mind. I’ll definitely be going again and I highly recommend it!

Blink and you’ll miss this wonderful eatery. Such amazing Pakistani/Indian food! I had tandoori lamb chops with Afghani rice and it was to die for. I stole some of my mom’s chicken kabab(#18 is the only thing I remember about the name of the dish) and it was melt-in-your-mouth delectable. The staff is super friendly and our server even recommended a wonderfully refreshing yet slightly spicy green sauce to go with my lamb, which I appreciated that he took the extra time to make sure my meal tasted the best it could. I’d recommend this to anybody and their mother(mine included. haha).
