A culmination of cuisines from Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan gets elevated at this eclectic eatery with an elegant vibe. A first of its kind, Khan Saab Desi Craft Kitchen opened its doors in Downtown Fullerton in February 2020 and boasts a menu of 100% halal food including some of the highest-rated Australian Wagyu beef, along with a selection of non-alcoholic beverages inspired by the cuisine from the Desi region.

At the helm of the kitchen is culinary veteran and award-winning Chef Imran Ali Mookhi, who has trained under numerous Michelin-starred chefs in world-class kitchens and his traditional Indian flavors have earned him national recognition as Executive Chef at high caliber concepts including Tantra on Sunset, Tamarind of London in Newport Coast, Dosa, and most recently Tumbi in Santa Monica. In November 2020, Chef Mookhi was highlighted in the highly-respected Michelin Guide for his contributions to Tumbi. 

Sticking to Halal tradition, Khan Saab is 100% alcohol-free. Alcohol-free is on the rise nationally in major metropolitan areas such as New York and London. America is seeing a shift in attitude with a new focus on health and wellness trading in their booze in exchange for crafted mocktails specifically designed to be prepared sans liquor utilizing fresh and local ingredients.

The bar program, led by mixologists Craig Nemeth and Ahmad Hosseini, features craft mocktails alongside more traditional beverages like lassi, a dahi-based drink made with a blend of yoghurt, water, spices, and occasionally fruit. Standouts from the craft mocktail selection include the Mango Mojito made with mango nectar, as well as the Negroni and Peshawri Mule, which are crafted with Seedlip Non-Alcoholic Spirits.
