Pakwaan Indian Take Out — Restaurant in Parsippany-Troy Hills

I was invited by a friend of my wife's for a New Years Party and I live all the way in Queens, NY. It was worth the 1 hour drive from home to Parsipanny, NJ. The party was amazing and nicely organized. The belly-dancing show was fantastic but could have used a younger woman though :) The selection of the DJ was fantastic and he was spinning awesome music all night long! He even played the songs that I requested. The price of admission was reasonable since it was BYOB. It was a great and memorable time. This party also marked the first time my 3 year old daughter celebrated New Years Eve as opposed to sleeping through it so I can never forget this place. :-) Aside from the party, the food was terrific. Their version of chicken makhani was very tasty and is my favorite Indian dish. What stood out was their russ malai! My friends at the party kept on urging me "go eat the russ malai, its awesome". It was actually the best russ malai I have ever eaten! It truly was. I even went for seconds and became a hypocrite by not sticking to my New Years Resolution to lose weight...only 15 minutes into 2015 LOL :p We got to meet the owner and the owner's nephew and they were very warm, friendly and gracious. The location was pretty good and was easy to get to. All I had to do was drive on I80W and then Route 46 West. It is located in a shopping center strip but their signage off of Route 46 can be a...

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I have never understood the hype of Garlic Naan until this delicious meal; it glittered with the butter, was both crunchy and soft, and made me understand what other restaurants' Garlic Naans strive to be. Besides that, I ordered Paneer Tikka Masala and it was so good it was hard to stop eating even after I was full LOL. That being said, the place is takeout/catering-focused so keep in mind it doesn't really resemble a typical restaurant. They serve from a counter and dish the food in plastic containers, on a tray, etc. But don't let that distract you from the fact that this is a 5-star gourmet meal that Gordon Ramsay would be proud of. They give generous portions on the entrée as well. I can only speak to the dine-in/takeout, not the catering, but I assume if they nail one they must nail the other. Worthy competitor to other Indian restaurants in the area, including Apna Swad and...

Have had some great experiences here...gone for lunch and it was delicious, celebrated my uncle's 50th here and it was lovely, so we decided to have my engagement party here. Great decision, they were sooo accomodating with anything we needed and had no issues the day of. Food was excellent, there was lots of it, and we all had a wonderful time.

Thank you Pakwaan for helping us make our special day so easy! Can't wait to return, either for a quick, delicious meal or another family event. :) Definitely consider Pakwaan for your next event.

They really went above and beyond...and fyi if you have picky eaters, they can accomodate other cuisines. My fiancé is Italian & the owner was completely fine with providing delicious Italian appetizers, milder food options, even offered to cook some pasta. If you want a place that knows how to professionally handle parties & cater to your needs,...
