"If you live in Palo Alto you already know Zareen’s. You also know that this place operates with lightning-fast efficiency, and that the food at this casual Indian and Pakistani place is excellent. Do we wish that we felt less pressure to vacate our table from the moment we sat down? Yes, but that doesn’t detract from the fact that the chicken tikka masala is buttery, the palak methi paneer is full of crispy cheese, and the lamb gosht falls apart with even the lightest glance. Grab a mango lassi and pour yourself a chai while you wait for the (very) short amount of time it takes to get your food. Just make sure to order a side of the fluffy garlic naan. photo credit: Brit Finnegan photo credit: Brit Finnegan photo credit: Brit Finnegan photo credit: Brit Finnegan" - Ricky Rodriguez
