Ok, so my husband and I are die-hard fans of the Shalimar restaurant in Fremont. Unfortunately we live in Walnut Creek and of course cannot drive up just to eat there. So today we decided to check out Mehran. First out, it's situated on the main road, pretty easy to find. The neighborhood was well....went from good to ok to huh? Going in, you will probably not be greeted at the door to be seated, but beckoned from the counter and be seated. We went for the Lunch buffet so it was slightly crowded and we had to do with the table right next to the buffet. The other tables do not offer any privacy either. On to the food...we started with the Vegetable pakoras which were good. The chicken tandoori was over (we were there at about 2:30 pm) and came out only about 40-45 minutes later. They were surprisingly tender, but do not spoil it with the mint chutney. The vegetable biryani was good...whole veggies, retaining their colour and the rice was thankfully not overcooked. We do not eat beef, but the goat curry was ok. Well cooked, but we felt it lacked seasoning. The chicken was good...but a little too buttery for me. Now I'm a pure non-vegetarian. So I was sort of disappointed with the choices available. The mixed vegetables and aloo masala were delicious, except that some of the potatoes were sorta hard and uncooked. We had to wait quite a bit for the naans to come out though, so much so that we actually went back for the sides because we finished everything on our plates while waiting for them. Now, to my next favourite aisle, deserts. The choices were gulab jamun, suji halwa and kheer. And surprises of surprises, I liked all of them. Not overtly sweet as I normally find in buffets and not even cold. The kheer was of rice and was almost like one my mother-in-law makes back at home (I think). The halwa was warm, almost melted in your mouth and was just rightly sweet. The gulab jamuns were soft, warm and did melt in your mouth. I did not need to squeeze the juice out to make them less sweet and that was good! Phew...and the search continues... Pros: Good veg stuff, deserts Cons: Waiting more

I recently emigrated from Trinidad and missed my homestyle Indian food...No more! Mehran offers me a taste of my home away from home! I am East Indian ,my husband who is Caucasian and my five year old enjoy the tasty and delicious cuisine that Mehran offers! It is a weekend ritual for us! Pros: Excellent food,clean interior,superb service! Cons: none! more

Ok. I need to start my review by pointing out that I am both a Caucasian, and an American--born and raised. I've never had Indian food in my life. I was scared from all the stories I hear from people (people who probably had never even tried Indian food once in their lives, either). But it wasn' t until recently that I met my girlfriend who happens to be from Pakistan. She somehow managed to get me to try her favorite restaurant--Mehran Restaurant in Pittsburg more
