Zareen’s, Indian restaurant in Mountain View, California.
Zareen's is a Pakistani and Indian restaurant in Mountain View, California, offering dishes from different regions of the subcontinent. The dining room is decorated with murals and guest drawings that cover much of the wall space.
Zareen Khan opened the restaurant in 2014 after years of teaching cooking classes based on her family recipes. That first location eventually led to more spots across the San Francisco Bay Area.
The restaurant is named after its founder, Zareen Khan, whose personal recipes from Karachi, Mumbai, and Punjab shape the menu. The space feels personal rather than commercial, with handmade touches throughout.
The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, making it easy to visit at different times of day. Arriving a bit early helps during busy weekend hours, when wait times can stretch.
The restaurant has a small lending library where guests can borrow books to take home. Visitors are also invited to draw directly on the walls, so the decoration grows a little with every visit.
