Halal tandoori, kebabs, curries, & mixed tandoori plate.
"The last few years have taught you a lot about yourself. You can snack all day without ever feeling full, you’re an Olympic champion at waking up three minutes before work, and under no circumstance are you ever living with another human being ever again. Thank your significant other for their time and celebrate your new life of solitude with a feast from Al-Watan. The long-standing Pakistani spot in Hawthorne has excellent food all around, but you’re here for the mixed tandoori. It’s a steaming plate of chicken and beef that’s been marinated in spices and cooked in a clay oven with mesquite, and the kind of dish you pick at for several days afterward and it’s still delicious. Now that’s companionship in your book." - brant cox
"Located just a few blocks north of Al-Noor (and also Zam Zam Market), Al-Watan has found its niche on this highly competitive stretch with its mixed tandoori. Plain and simple, this is the best version in town and once you try it, you’ll wonder why you’ve ever eaten it anywhere else. Both takeout and delivery are available online, or by calling (310) 644-6395." - brant cox
"Located just a few blocks north of Al-Noor (and also Zam Zam Market), Al-Watan has found its niche on this highly competitive stretch with its mixed tandoori - and also being the only one open on Mondays. Plain and simple, this is the best version in town and once you try it, you’ll wonder why you’ve ever eaten it anywhere else." - sylvio martins, brant cox, kat hong, nikko duren
"Located just a few blocks north of Al-Noor (and also Zam Zam Market), Al Watan sits on a very competitive block in Hawthorne. The long-standing Pakistani spot has excellent food all around, but the real standout is their mixed tandoori. Plain and simple, this is the best version in town and once you try it, you’ll wonder why you’ve ever eaten it anywhere else. It’s a steaming plate of chicken and beef that’s been marinated in spices and cooked in a clay oven with mesquite, and comes with a refreshing mint yogurt chutney that pairs perfectly with the smoky, succulent meat." - nikko duren, brant cox
"In business for over 30 years, this halal Indian Pakistani restaurant is one of the most respected in the South Bay. Chef Mohammed Mumtaz prepares traditional dishes like lamb korma and goat karahi stir-fried with onions and tomatoes while experimenting with new recipes daily." - Virali Dave
