Welcome to Anarkali Halal Restaurant, a hidden gem located at 1823 Broadway St, Concord, CA 94520. This delightful Indian and Pakistani eatery is a sensory feast for anyone seeking authentic halal cuisine in a warm and inviting setting.

It’s more than just a restaurant; it's a hub of culinary artistry, where every dish is crafted with love and attention to detail.

The menu is an impressive tapestry of flavors, offering something for everyone. Start your meal with the mouthwatering Coconut Prawn Curry, where tender tiger prawns are enveloped in a luscious, medium-spiced coconut sauce, ideal for seafood lovers. Or try the Machlee “Fish” Curry, where the rich, savory flavors of fish fillet dance harmoniously with aromatic spices and sautéed mustard seeds.

Pair it with the tangy Tamarind Chutney or Mint Chutney, which add the perfect zing to each bite.

But what truly sets Anarkali apart is the dedication of the staff. According to customers, the service is consistently friendly and attentive. One reviewer highlights their experience, noting how the restaurant graciously accommodated a late-night party of ten with warm hospitality and deliciously fresh food even at 9 PM. This commitment to customer satisfaction is palpable, making every visit feel special.

While some folks may point out that the dining area leans towards self-service with a casual vibe—where you’ll need to grab your own utensils and plates—the incredible flavors and generous portions more than make up for it. A loyal customer aptly stated, “Bring your appetite when you come here; you’ll enjoy the food.”

We're here almost every week. The masala dishes are great. The tandoori machlee is delicious. Service doesn't disappoint, always helpful and friendly.

We had a wonderful experience at Anarkali! Our party of 10 arrived after 9:00 PM, and they graciously accommodated us without hesitation. The service was warm and welcoming, and the food was delicious -- fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Every dish was thoroughly enjoyed, and we truly appreciated the hospitality so late in the evening. Thank you to the staff and kitchen for making our night so delightful. Highly recommended!

The chicken Karachi was ok. Biryani was good. Naans were fresh. Tea was very good. Please paint the toilet door.

The food was alright . But the place was something else. If you want the REAL Indian/Pakistani experience. Don’t come here. But still the food was pretty good and I recommend coming here if you don’t care about the atmosphere and how the place looks. (THIS IS A SELF SERVICE RESTAURANT) *you have to bring plates, utensils, drinks, glasses, napkins, straw, etc to your table, (but food will be served to your table)

Best Pakistani and Indian restaurant in the Bay Area in terms of prices, portions, and flavor especially the chicken tandoori and biryani. Bring your apetite when you come here - you'll enjoy the food.
