Sakoon Indian Fusion Restaurant

My favorite Indian restaurant in Baltimore! Their food is so tasty and the prices are very friendly and affordable.
The owners are really nice too! Update: If you are looking for a restaurant to have a casual birthday dinner with a big group of friends and eat really delicious food and feel special without breaking your wallet, this is THE PLACE TO GO 😍 We were a group of around 12 people which is quite hard to find a table in any restaurant tbh, but Sakoon was able to accommodate us at the center of the restaurant.
Tysm 💕 Onto the food: DEFINITELY GET THE TANDOORI CHICKEN AND BUTTER CHICKEN AND CHANA MASALA.
They are my favorite dishes from Sakoon. Tandoori chicken: Three giant chicken thigh + leg comes out on this hot skillet sizzling from the kitchen.
The meat is so tender and juicy and the meat just falls right off the bone.
How do you achieve that by grilling the chicken idk but sakoon can.
The tomato? sauce that comes with the chicken on the side is AMAZING.
I can eat that stuff just by itself lmao. Butter chicken: I love their butter chicken because the chicken is so tender and the sauce is so creamy and it just feels like home 🫶 Chana masala: An excellent dish with chickpeas, tomatoes and red onions? Sooooo good.
It’s hot but I cannot stop stuffing myself with it and I am kinda a hater of chickpeas 😂 except for Sakoon’s Chana masala. AND YOU MUST GET GARLIC NAAN.
It’s so fresh and hot and there are generous amounts of garlic on the top. For dessert, I recommend their gulab jamun.
There’s some coconut pieces sprinkled on the top and it’s just sooo good.
It’s kind of like mini donuts in sugar syrup that kind of crumbles apart and melts in sweetness in your mouth.
Soooo lovely.
I can eat more than two if I wasn’t so full from the entrees lol The lady taking the order was so nice too! Sakoon has one of the best service among dine-in restaurants imo. Using my friend’s scale, Sakoon is worth driving 3 hours for.
Thankfully I live right across from Sakoon for now, but in the future , I am more than willing to drive 3 hours for food at Sakoon. Previous review: I have been going here for weekday lunch buffet which is from 11:30-3 pm Monday to Friday since 3 years ago.
The buffet is self-serve and you walk in, tell them you are getting lunch buffet, grab a plate and start loading it with food.
The buffet has a decent variety from tandoori chicken, chicken masala, potato fry, chili chicken, chicken biryani, couple curries, and couple vegetable dishes.
With student discount it’s around $14-$15 per person which is such a GOOD DEAL.
DID I MENTION UNLIMITED CHAI??? Their chai is soooo good that I wish I can bring a large biggest mug I can find and just fill it with their chai and drink from it all day.
It’s the right amount of spicy and sweet and just ahhhh soooo good. I got the butter chicken from a dinner (there is no buffet during dinner, just ordering entrees) and the butter chicken was so delicious! And at first glance it seems like not much cuz it comes in a small pot but I had leftovers and was able to stretch them to two meals.
Really good portions.
Also make sure to get their garlic naan.
It’s a must don’t question it.

Service was on point even though I was the only one here.
Lamb biryani was an explosion of flavor.
I ordered it spicy and they delivered.
Had me tearing up, but it cleared out all of my sinuses.
The chicken korma was well balanced between spice and richness, but the nutty flavor was not as prominent.
Raita, mint chutney, and Tamarind chutney were all divine.
Overall, it was a fantastic meal and a wonderful local spot.
Would recommend for all to come and enjoy a lovely meal

The food tastes great and quantity of the food is also more.
Mango lassi here is definitely one of my favourite drinks.
Their chicken biryani and chicken chow mein noodles are good.
They offered papad and naan/ pakoda for free every time we visited.
The staff are polite and friendly.
