Shah Restaurant (San Mateo)

Late-night halal Pakistani kitchen on the south El Camino strip of San Mateo at 2299 S El Camino Real. Families come for the layered biryani, the seekh and tandoori kebabs, and fresh naan straight out of the tandoor — the site says the kitchen runs 11 am–midnight every day of the week, so it is one of the few Indian counters open past 10 pm.
