Khan Saab Restaurant Review:


Located one block east of downtown Fullerton's main drag, this Desi restaurant is the brainchild of chef Imran Ali Mookhi, who previously honed his craft at such Southern California establishments as Tantra on Sunset, Tamarind of London, and Tumbi. Together with sous chef Mustafa Ansari, he creates modern expressions of genuine halal dishes hailing from India, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Guests can expect a combination of classics like butter chicken along with contemporary plates such as pomegranate-braised kiwami beef brisket with creamy polenta, Fresno chili relish and beef jus. In keeping with halal tradition, the restaurant refrains from serving alcoholic beverages. Instead, a wide array of carefully created mocktails are offered along with traditional beverages like lassi.
