Reviews & Recognition
MICHELIN GUIDE
Taking up residence just steps from the Googleplex, it’s no surprise that this wholesome little South Asian restaurant is absolutely packed with tech employees seeking a taste of their homelands. But local families love Zareen’s as well, perusing books from the lending library or doodling their heartfelt thanks on the wall. An added bonus: the space is set in a small shopping plaza with a big lot out front, making parking a non-issue. The chicken Memoni samosas, supposedly made from a recipe known to only a select number of grandmothers worldwide, are a must-order: crispy, well-spiced and flavorful, they’re so good they don’t need chutney. Follow these with the outstanding chicken shami kebabs, juicy and caramelized on their bed of fluffy basmati rice.

DEAR PATRONS
My family hails from Karachi, Bombay, and Punjab, and so, inevitably, food is a big part of our life. My mother, my aunts, and my sister, are all amazing cooks. I was lucky to have eaten their cooking and learned their art growing up.
After 12 years in Corporate America, I started Curry Village Foods in 2010. Sold out cooking classes in Saratoga led to gourmet kababs and curries in Bay Area homes. Then followed our catering service to Bay Area corporations with a commitment to rid offices of preservative-laden, artificially flavored lunches.
2020 Zareen's selected among Top 100 Bay Area Restaurants by SF Chronicle Zareen's Redwood City opens in October 2020.
