Service deserves 10 star. The waiter here is the nicest person ever. Really quick and precise service. Food is hands down one of the best. Halwa puri is, again, one of the best in town in my opinion. The place has TONS of options and everything I've tried so far has been a hit. It's a bit far from the typical Desi restaurants but it's worth it. Parking is kind of tight though. They also have a Desi grocery store attached which is convenient if you need to grab something.

Tried Biryani, Paya, Halwa Puri, Samosa, Lamb Pulao and found up to the mark in taste. Free parking available but limited space which may add some wait time to find the space.

First off, let me tell you about my customer service experience. The guys are all so nice. Everyone I've encountered has been extremely respectful & and helpful, one of my favorite places to visit when I'm up north. I buy the beef rolls a lot because they're my son's absolute favorite.

Shan Restaurant brings the true Desi dhaba vibe to life! Their naan and nehari are fresh and full of flavor — simple yet unforgettable. The real stars? Their maghaz and shammi kebabs served with warm, flaky parathas — absolutely unbeatable. A must-try spot for anyone craving bold, homestyle flavors.
