Strolling through Downtown Plymouth, you’ll find yourself drawn in by the warm spices and sizzling celebrations coming from 447 Forest Ave. This spot isn’t just another restaurant—Pakwaan Fine Indian Cuisine has redefined what it means to dine in style. Here, each dish greets you with an aroma that promises comfort, excitement, and a dash of adventure (the edible kind).

More Than a Restaurant—It’s a Family Affair

Pakwaan’s story is built on over 20 years of culinary tradition and joy. The passionate owners have poured their expertise and heart into every detail of the menu and the space. Their goal? To make your lunch or dinner feel like a celebration of Indian flavors with simple honesty and a classy twist.

Small Plates, Big Surprises

Let’s get to what everyone truly wants: starters. Don’t be surprised if you develop a deep affinity for their vegetable samosas. Crunchy outside, spiced inside, and with just the right heat to wake up your taste buds. Prefer your appetizers with a little more sizzle? Shrimp pakora brings you the crunch and a mild zest—perfect with fresh mint chutney.

The lentil soup is a favorite for comfort seekers. Sip, relax, and get ready for what’s next.

Curry Up! Classics With A Modern Spark

When it comes to entrées, prepare to fall in love with diversityChicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Vindaloo please the spice seekers and comfort food fans alike. Lamb Hyderabadi? Creamy, complex, and a must-try for those who want their taste buds to travel. Baingan Bharta, a smoky eggplant curry, has fans who will never share their portion.

Longing for something green? Saag Paneer and Bhindi Masala are here for every veggie devotee. Feeling indecisive? Try the Assorted Bread Basket—because everything tastes better scooped up with garlic naan.

Turn Up the Heat…or Keep It Cool

Speak up—the kitchen is more than happy to adjust spice levels from mild to fiery. Whether you’re cautious or crazy about heat, you’ll find the right balance here. Mango lassi makes the perfect sidekick, soothing the palate and adding a little sweetness to your meal.

Drinks and Dining Worth Your Time

Pakwaan’s drinks menu surprises too. The Desi Masala guava cocktail (with a playful kick of hot peppers) has earned local fame. Juicy tandoori chicken and perfectly cooked jasmine rice make for excellent partners to whatever you’re sipping.
