Ahh, what a beautiful place it is.
This is a fine dine family restaurant located in sadashivnagar.
This place serves some really yummy food.
Butter garlic naan is one of my personal favorite, they have a huge options to choose from.
Order anything from the menu, it won’t disappoint you at all.
One of the restaurants where the food is prepared freshly and served ! This review is not based on trying once but i have been here fir more than 10 times
Please try their
1 - Palak Pata Chat
2 - Crispy Corn
3 - Masala papad
4 - Pink lips (mocktail)
There was a paneer sabzi which i had tried but have forgotten the name ! Will sure update as soon as i goo again
A veg restaurant serving not only North Indian but also Chinese and Italian food
For starters we ordered
▪ Broccoli and cheese baguette - It's basically Broccoli on bread. Totally loved it.You'll like this dish only if you like broccoli.
▪ Sizzling paneer Tikka - Paneer was perfectly cooked. Loved it.
For main course
▪ Lasagne and Spaghetti - Lasagne was nice and cheesy. Spaghetti was good too.
▪Firangi subzi sizzler biryani - Mildly spiced and really tasty
For dessert
▪ Sizzling brownie - Tasted really good and fudge was yummy
This is a wonderful place, very friendly staff and quality of food is what I give 5 stars. I came here with my family and child and it’s perfect for vegetarians. Will visit again 😊
Been here on rainy Sunday afternoon and place was quite clam with not too much crowd. The ambience were decent and staff were very polite and guided us to try some of thier famous dishes.
We tried tamatar dhaniya shorbha, cheese kurkure, butter naan, Onion kulcha , lachha paratha with panner punjabi subji, pakwan special ice cream and all the dishes were excellent in taste and not too heavy on stomach.
All in all an excellent place with visit with friends and family.
Keep up the taste and service 👍
A place offering beautiful Indian vegetarian food, it also is value for money.
Existing since three years, I never knew of it because of its location, the top of a commercial building.
The interiors are very well done and maintained. We had the buffet here which is just 250rs but has very limited number of items. What's good is, that they prepare each item fresh for every table rather than keeping it enclosed in a box, but everything can be reordered since it is a buffet. Since one can't even eat a lot of each item in a traditional buffet, I find this to be a good system which gives you value for money. With the exception of the pulao, every item was expertly made.
First of all appreciate Pakwan for situating in Sadashivnagar which is closer to where I reside. There are lot of restaurants around but this would stand out when it comes to taste and disciplined management.
It has been great experience with Pakwan as we usually visit on birthday occasions and we go empty stomach and log out with loosen belts😁. Our personal favourite dish here is Cheese balls.
Only concern is the parking as you find hard especially on peak hours.
We were looking a place for nice and quite family dinner and choose to go to this place. It was a good decision as all the things we ordered were delicious.
We ordered manchow soup, tomato basil soup, fries, Paneer tikka, one more Paneer starter, 2 types of pasta, schezwan rice, saffron rice and curry. And orange juice.
Every thing was delicious, fresh and well made.
Would like to go again to try their more Italian dishes.
one of the best places in Bangalore for north Indian food as well as Italian. we went family for 10 members..we had panner dum annari and roasted broccoli and bagguti it was delicious and maincourse we have oder ratan kofta majosha, kekshan and tava subzi those are like fingers licking it was amazing mainly we had mocktails orange chaska mojitos .......finely we have oder chocolate fondue it's was like out of world....
Ever since Pakwan has opened here.. we have been very regular... our last visit was on 30th April with 25 people for dinner... and to my surprise Pakwan has added loads of new dishes excellent food.. service and the Head Manager Rana was personally attending all tables to make sure guest were satisfied with food and quality
. I highly recommend this restaurant for Veg lovers and please order more starters as they are fantastically delicious . I request them to update the new revised menu
The place has a very good ambiance and the staff are very friendly. The food is awesome. The quality and quantity of food is great. Best in taste. They have multinational cuisine and all perfected to taste. Great presentation as well.
Fast delivery. Ordered tandoori roti, tawa subzi and paneer manchurian. Food was good except for paneer manchurian which was extremely bland.
Had an amazing food , cheese Kurkure is a must try ,

I had been here for the first time with my friends for Birthday celebration. The food here is really amazing💯. I must say the taste is really good. The service too was quite good. Ambience is also good😊. The Badam Thandai is on my top recommendation list. Do try.. u will not be disappointed.❤️
Had read about this place in the newspaper about a month ago and was waiting for an opportunity to try it out.
The entire family went in for lunch last week and it was a pleasant experience.
The Paneer Dum Anari and Bhutte De Kebab was great starters and thoroughly enjoyable.
For the main course were ordered a Vegetable Au Gratin, Garlic Bread and Lucknowi Tarkari Biryani. Each dish had a distinct taste and the Biryani was served as a Sizzler which added to the flavor.
Will definitely recommend the place and the dishes were ordered. Will drop in to try some other dishes at the earliest available opportunity.
The staff is very helpful.
It’s a good family restaurent. Food is really tasty here. You can find one of the best Italian and north indian food. Friendly staff and satisfied with the service.
If you are a food lover who wants to eat in peace.. this is one of the best in this part of Bangalore. Option of Jain Food is an add on advantage to go with people who doesn't like to eat onion and garlic.. taste is at its best. It might burn your pockets but everything is fare in food and peace..
Great place and ambiance. Quick service, reasonable pricing. Food is very tasty.
Recommended : Litchi Rabdi, Amritsari Kulcha, Tomato Shorba, vegetable chilli tikki, biryanis.
family restaurant. i love their mocktails and sizzlers. do visit for good vegetarian food. service n quality of food is good worth the price .italian is also good not just the indiam part.
One of the best food places I have been to in Bangalore!
If you are a vegetarian this is one place you must visit

Paneer Anari

Very few pure vegetarian places around make delicious meal and pakwan is one of them. It's a dim lit restaurant. The staff are really courteous. The starters are the best here. They are very "birthday celebration" friendly too.

Service 4/5

Overall 15/20
Verdict-
Came across this place while browsing for new places on Zomato. So decided to try it out.
The food is good. Slightly on the richer side. Loaded with butter and cheese. Tried the starter platter, followed by a kofta curry and a mushroom curry along with breads and tried the fried ice-cream for dessert. Mains were good. But the dessert was below par. It was way too oily.
The ambiance is okay. But tends to.get very noisy.
The service is prompt. The servers are well informed about the dishes.
The dishes are slightly pricey and hence this place can be one that you visit on occasion.
Overall, I would say that it's a good place for some decent, heavy vegetarian food in the Sadashiv Nagar area.
Would I recommend this place? Yes.
A small cozy place at 2nd floor, Vyalikaval an experiment worth a shot? DEFINITELY.
This place offers a good variety of food. Its strength is the North Indian cuisine but offers Italian as well.
Although the service is a little slow, the food never fails to excite your taste buds.
Must try- kheksan, Arabiata pasta and the biryani options.
Don't order online, make sure you visit this place once.
Lovely Food and ambience, service is quick, try the tomato shorba it's the best in town I guess.... Food is lipsmaking good from starters to rice everything tastes very good specially the KEHKASHAN curry was something different i haven't had before...
Totally loved it !!
Good place for vegetarians, small place located near Sadashivanagar. Decent ambiance with red theme. Visited for a dinner. Had to wait for seats. Tried tomato, manchow soup and babycorn for starters, it’s tasty. For the main course Lucknow n paneer biryani. Lucknowi was the better one. They have a good set of deserts also, hot choc fudge was awesome. But Service is on the slower side. Overall good taste and a good option for vegetarians..
Pakwan--the first restaurant I have absolutely no qualms about. Everything about this place was absolutely amazing. Right from their wonderful service (despite us arriving almost at the closing hours) to ambience, I loved it all.
We ordered -
Tomato and Manchow vegetable soup with masala papad, a paneer based and potato based dish for starters. They were incredibly tasty. The tomato soup alone was slightly sweet for our liking but we enjoyed it nonetheless.
For main course, we had garlic Naan and masala peas paneer kulcha accompanied by a paneer subzi and Dum aloo kalimirch. Again, we were totally bowled over with the taste, flavor and consistency. Finally we finished the meal with Lucknowi Tarkari biriyani which I must say was authentic to the point.
Overall, I was extremely pleased and looking forward to visiting the place again!
This restaurant is very close to house and we come here more often than other restaurants. We've always liked this place as they serve food which actually have fresh spices and nice flavors overall.
Today, We came in little early in the evening when the restaurant was still empty. We wanted to have light food and hence decided to just have a soup and a starter.
We chose to have Tomato Basil soup which came out to be perfect. Had the right levels of spices and tanginess of tomato that we preferred.
We chose sweet chilly glazed potato and asked them not to add sesame seeds as we don't like it.
They really paid attention and made the dish without sesame seeds. The potatoes were spicy and crispy with a subtle hint of garlic. Loved it.
Unfortunately, we didn't click and pics as we were busy eating :)
So Visited This Place For The First Time After Seeing A Decent Rating On Zomato. It's situated on 2nd Floor. It's a fine dine restaurant with pretty good Ambience. We Were 3 People and we ordered Masala Papad, Dal Fry Tadka which was really well cooked , Tawa Sabzi which was the best , Roti & Naan were soft but were small in size. In the desert we had Brownie Sizzler which had small piece of brownie and just a single scoop of vanilla ice cream and it was not upto the mark. The Overall Food was Excellent and can this place can be Visited oftenly.

Good service and great food. Had been there for lunch in a sunday and it wasn't very crowded. Loved patiala wali lassi, tawa sabzi and butter naan
This place is know for its North Indian food ..The baby corn manchurian is crispy and very nice..ANd the litchi rabdi is also too good..over all this place is very good..
A great place for good food. The ambience is very nice. We tried the sizzler with rice, which was awesome. For starters we had the masala pappad and gobi manchurian whose spice level was cut down on our request. It was really good. The naan's and dal were also very nice. I don't mind going again here. It might seem a little expensive, but worth the money.
Came here for lunch. Good menu and service. The ambience is nice, quiet and facilitates conversations. The cutlery takes you back to another era. Worth a visit. Good experience.

One of those places where the food is so good you would want to keep going back every time you think of dining out. Service is usually quick and it's not very expensive. I'm rating the place a 4.5 / 5 only & only because finding parking could be any issue. The food, though, makes up for it.
An awesome place for vegetarians and for full family dining experience. Ambience is simple and very nice, service is good and food is simply sooperb. I can say its simple and elegant... overall experience.
I have visited almost 3 times this place... it live upto the expectations every-time i visit.
Awesome verities of food punjabi, jain, continental and Chinese.
Soups and Starters are really great... go for any soup you will love it.
Panner Dum Anari is the best starter and will order everytime i visit.
Jalandhari Mushroom is another starter must order.
overall food is great, service is neat but bit slow...but adjustable.
Seatings are comfortable and ambience is really simple and nice.
No parking place, roadside parking.
Overall an awesome experience.

Best thing here is starters. The sizzling paneer platter is just awesome... North Indian food is nice but could have been more better.... Staff is good and Polite. Good time with family
Good food.. You have to try the panner. Nice ambience and good friendly service. Starters are the best and main course are an average. Quantity of food is less comparitivley.
Amazing ambience - Just love the copper cutlery. The food is very tasty - Loved the crispy vegetables. The service is very good and staff is very courteous. A great dine out option for friends and family. All the items ordered were tasty and well cooked. Nothing was bad.
Strongly recommend.
Great food. I had order subzi sheek with subzi tawa fry, amazing flavours. Must try tomato shorba soup. Tangy and spicy. Great food pakwa team.
This is one of the most amazing restaurants in and around Sadashiv Nagar with plethora of vegetarian options. The place might be a bit difficult to locate and the ambience is not so great.
But the food (in terms of portions, taste and price) is unbeatable.
Service is good but can be a bit slow at times because of the crowd. Do expect a decent waiting time on weekends as the restaurant is very popular.

I dont have any photos of here but i can say that you will love the ambience,service is so good and coming to food u must and shud order paneer dum anari,spring roll and garlic bread they are too good especially paneer dum anari coming to main course i dint ate much i just had schzewan noodles which has some spice and is good in taste coming to taste sizzling brownie is a must try thing😊
Best place to visit. Place is neat and clean. Service is quick. For vegetarians, this place is finest. Must try is their tomato soup. Secondly have taste of their papaya pickle which kept on the table. We visited twice and had paneer mulani masala with tandool roti and cheese stuffed nan. Both were delicious. Buttermilk was also yummy. Please have this place on your list and do visit.
Loved the Ambience. Food was really good especially the Cheesy Kurkure. It is a very unique dish and tasty .The Staff are kind and Courteous. Good place for Family and Friends.
Jal jeera, Patiala di lassi, Rajma, Kadai paneer, Tandoori roti, Butter kulcha, Missi roti.. Yummy food with excellent staff .... must try ... good ambience.... loved the food.
I really loved the food here. The starter- veg dumpling in Manchurian sauce was amazing! Tomato shorba was fine but minestrone soup was not up to the mark. The north Indian main course is too tasty :) Paneer makhanwala, chili olive naan and the biryani were really good!
Ordered a portion of mushroom soup, a white sauce pasta and a quesadilla.. it was very good.. and this is a vegetarian only place. Loved it. Would definitely visit again n again.
This place offers different types of cuisine . The pasta here is horrible actually as there is too much sauce and the sauce wasn’t good too. The starters here are pretty good though .
Loved everything about it! From the food to the ambience and the staff. Had a very enjoyable experience.....very excited to go back and try new food

We had ordered cheese kurkure, reshmi panner, mushroom pockets in starters. All were tasty and different from each other. We can't say which one is best. But these are must to order. Being a spicy person, I did like reshmi panner which was opposite to my taste buds. The panner was so soft. Cheese kurkure is something to give so many twists to your tounge. Mushrum pots were spicy and we're filled with cheese and spinach which a perfect blend of flavours.
We had ordered cocktails.. sunrise in marina, chennai pollution and good night kiss. All were good.
In the main course we had ordered rajma and malai kofta.
Malai kofta was amazing but do not order Rajma. It was not at all good.
In breads we had ordered cheese chilly naan. It was good but I had high hopes that they will flood it with cheese. They didn't in comparison to the ones I had in Mumbai.
Garlic nan and matar panner kucha were equally good.
Also we had asked them to pack the leftover food. But they had packed the hot rajma in paper container which risked our lifes😂😂😂
So overall it's a good place to have nice Veg food and give treats. The menu is huge to cover for veg food.
They have tried to make it different but the food is quite average. Cheese Kurkure is a must try here. The service needs to improve quite a bit. The fried ice cream dessert is also good. Ambiance is OK. Worth a visit.

5stars for taste, only 2 stars for quantity..
Very nice place and ambience other than the heavy prices for food and it's less quantity..
Very good place for vegetarians and even mocktail drinkers..
I had been here few weeks ago on a Sunday.. the food was just amazing .. the have a good variety to choose from .. the service was good . The only bad part of this place is that the quantity is low when compared to other returants
Decently priced.
Vegetarian only.
Quick service.
A good choice for North Indian dishes. :)
Loved their Virgin Colada. ^_^
Service tax is a bit high.
It's worth visiting especially for veggie lovers!
Amazing place.😇
Good food, no doubt.😍
Good service -happy with it
Nice ambience.
They provide jain too that's the best thing.
Can visit with family , friends , kids ..
excellent food and awesome service. worth for your money. nice ambiance to spend time with your family and friends. over all nice experience
Food is good. Good options. Manchow soup, English veg subz, sizzler biriyani - all were good especially biriyani. kadai paneer was less in quantity (serves only 2) for the price.
Nice restaurant in the first glance but upon closer inspection has stains on clothes which isn't soothing.
The lassi ordered was too sweet for our palette. The must tries cheese kurkure wasn't that great to talk about, as there was hardly any cheese filling and also the reshmi paneer tikka can be avoided if u like food little spicy as it was completely bland. The sizzling biryani was good and healthy portion. Nonetheless a simple, nothing great or bad to talk about restaurant
It's very nice place for veg. Everything tastes good there but little pricy. But it's yum. Paneer tikka is the best. And sizzlers desserts are good. Sizzler biryani is tasty.
Authentic North Indian cuisine around Malleshwaram area and being a veggie, happy to discover another good veg only restaurant. Courteous staff and quick service. Will definitely visit again.
Nice place on the main road in vayalikaval we ordered lemon coriander soup was pretty good, also babycorn Tiranga was good to taste, the cheese Nan and masala kulcha were good with generous helpings of some special vegetarian dish. Best to order all North Indian here, we ordered a pasta the price for that taste is not justifiable. Avoid ordering anything but North Indian here Fried ice cream was ok not too great.
Awesome ambience and very friendly staff. Tried almost all dishes. Very authentic taste and tempting presentation. Must try Chilli cheese naan, dum aaloo kali mirch and adraki aaloo gobi. My favourites include Reshmi Paneer Tikka and Litchi Rabdi...
Good place for some filling meals at decent prices. The food is good and nicely prepared, and the seating is also quite comfortable and pleasing décor.
Had been here for a lunch with friends today.Very good Ambience. not much crowded .Food was really good. They have Italian, chinese in the Menu .Decent Place for family ,friends.
Had been here for a lunch with friends on a weekend, the place was quiet deserted with hardly anybody in the restaurant.
Menu has a wide range of North Indian and Italian cuisine.
We opted for North Indian mainly.
Cheese kurkure and paneer dum anari were excellent and unique, a must try when you are here.
Naan and Aloo gobi curry were also quiet good.
Tried Sunrise in marina in drinks and was a excellent choice but a bit heavy.
Overall a decent place with some delicious food for a quick lunch

A Sunday family lunch lead us to Pakwan after sighting some good reviews. Being a long weekend, the place wasn't too full and the service was quick ..
We ordered:
Jaljeera - Quite the usual minus the extra zing (can't identify what was missing though)
Masala papad - Again the usual fare, a decent one.
Lemon coriander soup - A beautiful blend of flavours and textures with the right lemony tang.
Paneer Dum Anari - This was one of the most interesting paneer starters I've had in a long time. Paneer slices rolled up and stuffed with veggies, which are then shallow fried. A very unique starter but a very filling one!
Makhmali kofta - Don't be fooled, it's not malai kofta. A good part of the kofta is made of potato, alongside paneer and the stuffed nuts, but since it's not called malai kofta, I couldn't complain. Tasted great nonetheless
Kekhsan - another very unique veg gravy, moving beyond the usual jalfrezis and kadais. (again can't identify what made this unique but absolutely loved this).
Breads - roti, panneer paratha and chilli cheese naan made for a filling main course.
Definitely recommend for a vegetarian lunch!
Update:
They have introduced a weekday working lunch buffet menu for ₹250 ++ : totally recommend it. Everything served on it was delish, especially the palak patta chaat. Not too many items, which is good as you can relish each item in peace.
Great job Pakwan management. Changing the rating to 5/5.
Food was pretty good.. they served till quite late as well.. it was tasty food too...but the space s a little constraint.. not a very big place but service s anyway pretty good
It was a diwali dinner with the entire family so we could order many dishes at this place. A complete veg restaurant and average ambience, this place didn't dissapoint us as the food was good.
Late night flight was the drink I ordered and was dissapointed. Even the basic fries didn't turn up to be good. Coming to the main course, kadhai paneer, tawa veg, baby corn manchoorian, dal fry were good and priced reasonably.
Ambience is ok. But really slow slow service.
The food was good, the chef was especially generous with the butter and oil.
Ideal for family outings
Pakwan has never failed in its delivery of yummy food and great service... Had been to the outlet again on Saturday evening, much ahead of the crowds... The food - cheese kurkure, paneer multani masala, cheese naan, butter kulcha were all superb... Food was served in a timely manner... Just 1 con was that I felt they were understaffed by the time we left... All tables were full and could see folks waiting for the service.
Decent food, good ambience and really good service. Food tasted like the same old vegetarian fine dining experience except for a couple of dishes. For some reason, most of the dishes ordered had more than usual salt in them. Mocktails were just loaded with a ton of sugar syrup, better to avoid.
Pure Vegetarian restaurant had buffet dinner which get served at the seat, taste and ambience was awesome..
The restaurant is good ! Ambience was very good actually.
The quality of food was top notch ! Loved the sizzling veg biryani and Tawa Subzi ... must try !
Don’t forget to taste their mock tails ... they are also really good ! Dahi Papdi chat is also a must try ! I’ve attached few photos to have a glimpse of what we ordered !
Quality of food is really good. Ambience is not so great.One can try here for pure North Indian cusines.Felt bit congested seating arrangements.
Actually a 3.5overall rating.
Food - Decent, taste was good but could be better. All the items we ordered could be better prepared. Presentation was good. 3 🌟
Ambience and hygiene - Nice peaceful ambience apt for fine dining, they follow proper hygiene and safety. Appreciate it. 5 🌟
Service - Staffs was very professional and decent. Even with good crowd the service was fast and staffs were responsive. 5 🌟
Price - Pretty overpriced, especially when compared to the food quantity and taste. I would suggest improving the serving size and taste.
This is a lovely place to dine with family. It's way too crowded and we had to wait for 45 mins on spite of booking a table. No parking so that's one major negative part about this restaurant. Food was delicious and service was fast.
Came here for a diwali dinner with fam. I ambience is lovely, food very good. They'll have to up their service game, our order took a little more time, than a considerable limit. I found the price right as per the quality of the food. All an all a good experience.
An awesome place for vegetarians and for full family dining experience. Ambience is simple and very nice, service is good and food is simply sooperb. I can say its simple and elegant... overall experience.
I have visited almost 3 times this place... it live upto the expectations every-time i visit.
Awesome verities of food punjabi, jain, continental and Chinese.
Soups and Starters are really great... go for any soup you will love it.
Panner Dum Anari is the best starter and will order everytime i visit.
Jalandhari Mushroom is another starter must order.
overall food is great, service is neat but bit slow...but adjustable.
Seatings are comfortable and ambience is really simple and nice.
No parking place, roadside parking.
Overall an awesome experience.

One of the classic restaurant for Italian and Chinese food. Serves extremely delicious dishes. Some items like veg ball manchurian, saagwala paneer gravy must try. Veg ball manchurian was too crunchy.
One should not miss sizzling brownie in Pakwaan.
Service is appreciable.
Very nice hotel and the taste is also very nice I ordered veg kofta and panner tikka masala.It was delicious. But 1 thing is not nice that the lift is so small only 4 persons can go through it.very nice hotel and the serving style like our Indian culture like serving water in copper glass I liked it very much.Awsome hotel.....

A first for me to go to a restaurant that has buffet charges by the minute. Rs.7+tax per minute.
This is an all vegetarian restaurant and the buffet spread is decent. You can opt for A-la-carte if you wish.
The restaurant is located in the 2nd floor and has access by elevator. A simple setup with buffet on one end. If you're here for lunch on a cold day, I'd suggest taking a seat by the glass towards the road.
On the day we went, the spread had 1 soup, 3 starters, 4 types of fried snacks and salads with Raita, curd and curd rice.
Main course had 1pasta, 3 sabzi, 1 dal, 1 biryani, Hakka noodles, veg balls in hot garlic sauce, choice of 2 Rotis. For desserts Gulab Jamun, Shahi Tukda, Cut fruits.
The food tastes good and you really wouldn't find anything not to taste.
Good for family eats.
Weekend buffet is good. It is a seated eat all you want buffet
Excellent food test vegetarian food, Chinese food, North Indian food, have car parking , nice and friendly staff, well maintained, clean but quite expensive, hotel accept mobile and nec payment, wheelchair accessible entrance, have lift too, don't know exactly are hotel coupen accept or not, I personally recommend for vegan meal, have dessert too, if anyone looking for peaceful place for meal I recommend this hotel.
Good food and service. Been here multiple visits and they don't disappoint. Great variety on the menu and beverages.ambience basic yet soothing. Sizzlers are on point.
