Cloud Naan Urban Desi BBQ
2026-02-16
Pakistani kababs, sesame naan, and other local semi-rarities can be found at a Santa Ana strip mall. Though Orange County isn’t particularly well-known for Pakistani restaurants, we’re lucky enough to have a handful of noteworthy choices – especially Bundoo Khan‘s fast-casual BBQ and higher-end places such as Khan Saab Desi Craft Kitchen, Mint Desi Kitchen, and Urban Punjab. Cloud Naan Urban Desi BBQ is the latest small chain to join that group, having opened in Santa Ana early in December 2025, barely a year after its first location debuted in Carson, a city in Los Angeles County. Located at the edge of a strip mall less than a half-mile from the Santa Ana Zoo, Cloud Naan seats around 30 people in an all-but-serverless space with an oversized tablet for ordering and payment; guests place and pay for their orders, then sit at tables for around 30 minutes until food arrives. Brightly colored umbrellas, wall decor, and pillow-topped chairs make the dining room pleasant despite the absence of music, TV screens, or other typical (but not always beloved) elements in Pakistani restaurants.
