What Ova West doesn't like about Al-Watan Tandoori:
The chicken biryani had pieces of chicken. The beef Karahi was the worst karahi I have ever had. The lassi was terrible. I am not sure why is this restaurant rated? Opposite this restaurant is Das-tar-Khwan, it has much better food. I am not...sure at Al-Watan the cook knows how to cook Pakistani food. View all feedback. What Jayce Schaden likes about Al-Watan Tandoori:
I've been going to Al Watan now for a few years probably 4 to 5 times per year. The food never ceases to satisfy me. Time after time, Khalid (the owner) will come out and check in with the diners to make sure everything...is ok. The restaurant is small, probably not somewhere you want to go for formal dining, but the food is second to none! May I recommend the Lamb Saag with some Rice and perhaps some Haleem? The man...

Al-Watan restaurant in Vancouver has received mixed reviews from customers. Some were disappointed by the quality of dishes like the beef Karahi and lassi. Others found the food to be excellent, with unique offerings like Cow Brain masala and good service from the friendly staff. Despite being a small and simple establishment, Al-Watan stands out for its well-prepared Pakistani/Muslim Indian fare that highlights individual spices and generous portion sizes at affordable prices. For those missing authentic South Asian cuisine, Al-Watan comes highly recommended for a satisfying dining experience, making it a standout among Vancouver's South Asian restaurants.
