Reviews for Mehran Restaurant in Pittsburg, CA
We went there on a Sunday for lunch and decided to have the buffet . Being vegetarian, we checked with the server for... availability and were shown the options .although limited we were ok with it . However , the dishes were empty and would require20 mins to refill as per the server . The most offensive part was that they had mislabelled the chicken appetiser as veg pakoras. I am an eggitarian . When confronted with the question the server was rude and said “you should have asked me “ when toldit says veg pakoras he responded “it’s very obvious it’s chicken “ he also comments on my plate that u eat egg . What Ichoose to eat or not is not their business . Labelling food correctly is however their business and they should have done that .We walked away without finishing our meal . Disgusted by the behaviour of the restaurant and management Read more
I had big expectations with the 4.3 rating but I guess, that might be Bec of the lunch buffet as what I ordered for dinner was... not good. Butter Chicken was tasteless. So does chili chicken. The Garlic naan were like thick dough of bread n undercooked.Request to plz put more effort on making good food rather then maintaining Indian frames on the wall. The only good thing is theservice given buy the person who took my order. She was very polite n helpful. Read more
I had high hopes because of what I had been hearing. Unfortunately it was not a great experience. The samosas & naan was... undercooked. The requested medium spicy entree & plain rice were both sweet. One of our other entrees never came but by the timewe asked them, we just canceled it because everything we had already gotten was barely touched. Read more
Happened to be at Mehran (Feb 2022) for friend's Jaggo event. The setup was elaborate and the hosts were very welcoming.... Finding parking wasn't an issue as we had almost the whole parking lot to ourselves (to the folks attending the event). It was alate evening to midnight type of an event which definitely get extended for a bit beyond midnight. The food served was prettygood and as well tasted pretty fresh, especially the fish pakoras and the tandoori chicken in the appetizers/starters part andthen the goat and chicken curry in the latter. The Paneer dish was praised by the guests as well . Was a great evening all inall and Mehran lived up to the expectations and were kind enough to have us on their premises even though it got prettylate. Would recommend their Banquet hall services and food for sure as well. Read more
This is NOT going to be a review about the service because I hardly eat at the restaurant I always order to go and I know the... service and buffet aren’t what they used to be BUT the FOOD is still very much delicious. Mehran has the BESTINDIAN/PAKISTANI cuisine I have ever tasted and the best you’ll ever get in CONTRA COSTA county to be honest. I’vefrequented their restaurant since they opened and food still excellent tasting. Will always recommend Read more
Update: Over the past months I’ve became a regular.. Food availability is a matter of timing and chance. When it’s good,... it’s very good. Service has also improved much. Upgrading to 4 of 5 stars. Update: Reducing score from 3 to 1. Arrived justbefore 1 PM. A party of 6. The buffet is empty of all the chicken/ meat dishes. See new photos attached. This has been happeningrecently. It is getting worse. Update: Reducing score from 5 to 3. I returned a number of times since leaving the review below.Service can be improved. It is lacking: one person do-it-all does not work. Long wait for food (buffet empties quickly), naanand drinks and anything to that effect requires a long wait. Bathrooms are clean but have fixtures which are broken andinoperable. It is disappointing to return again and again and notice more of the details which are not positive. Lunch buffetwas excellent. Chicken tikka Masala and naan were the highlights. Service was good too. Recommended. Read more
Very delicious chicken tikka. One of the best I’ve had in the Bay Area. The tamarind chutney is also prepared very well. The... masala flavors in the chicken absorbed very well and the meat is juicy, tender and not overbearing with spice. The beef kabobswere just alright. But I think that’s my personal preference. Solid 4.5 experience. Read more
Uncooked naan and I have ordered for the spicy Shahi paneer, but they gave me a sweet panner curry. it's not a Indian based... restaurant. Please don't waste the money. Read more
