“Outstanding tasty and unusual Indian Fare. The vegetarian dishes were exceptional (except cauliflower, which was average). Service was wonderful and Jacob was particularly helpful. Amongst the best Indian we have had in the east bay. Slightly noisy“

“The food was absolutely scrumptious! Every dish was full of flavor and cooked to perfection.
Food was so good taking pictures was a secondary thought after we all had a couple bites. I highly recommend trying the Chicken 65 — it was crispy, spicy, and downright delicious.“

“Loved the food! Must visit!“

“Tried 2 Karaa dosa, 1 Mylapore special dosa, 1 poori, 1 porotta, and 1 plate idly here. Idly was just ok. Poori with masala potato curry was really good, and the porotta was also good. Karaa dosa was spicy and the quantity was good. They served sweet for no cost which is very tasty like Annavaram prasadam. This gesture is very good. The Mylapore special dosa (with cheese and karaa) wasn’t as great as suggested by the staff—we were planning for 3 Karaa dosa but tried this instead, and it was a bit disappointing. At-last we had filter coffee and it is very good. They are also offering Coffee with Jaggery or Sugar. You can choose either of them.

Overall, poori and porotta were the best, and Karaa dosa is fine if you like it spicy.“

“We recently had our Indian wedding at Pearl Banquet Hall, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. One of the biggest highlights for us was the decoration. My wife is very particular about the kind of flowers and overall decor she wanted—everything had to be just right. The team at Pearl was incredibly patient and gave us all the time we needed to decide on every little detail. They truly listened and worked with us until we were completely satisfied.

On the big day, everything came together beautifully. The decor was stunning and exactly how my wife envisioned it—and seeing her happy meant everything to me. From the floral arrangements to the color scheme, it was perfect.

We also had dancing clouds and sparklers during the reception, which added such a magical touch. It was unforgettable, and our guests are still talking about how amazing the whole experience was.

I honestly can’t imagine hosting any future event anywhere else. Pearl Banquet Hall went above and beyond to make our wedding day special. If you’re looking for a venue that truly cares and delivers, don’t miss out on this place.“

“Food is always amazing. All the snacks are made fresh daily.“

“The food was awesome, heavenly,
stupendous piping hot and sizzling. The Butter Masala Dosa arrived with that perfect golden arrogance — crackling crisp outside, soft and yellow masala inside, tasting like someone in the kitchen actually cares. One dunk into the coconut chutney and you know resistance is futile. Pair it with their filter coffee and suddenly “just a snack” turns into a spiritually satisfying meal. 😋☕“

“Excellent place to get your idly for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They are very quick with service. There is counter and kiosk to place your order. Have been coming here for months to years for food and would highly recommend to everyone.
Their Mysore Shree/pak not sure where we stand with the name lately is unique version unlike the ones that melts in the mouth this one is different but good.“

“Visited one evening with friends after reading reviews online, and I wasn't disappointed at all. The biryani for sure is the best in Bay area. The mandi reminded me of the mandi at Barkas area in Hyderabad and the chicken 65 and chicken Majestic that I order as take away for my room mate was also amazing.

The owners are friendly and open to suggestions, I happened to meet them. I would like them to open a bigger place, it seems popular and can get very busy so I think a bigger place might help.“

“The Fish Pakora at Favorite Indian Restaurant in Hayward is always fresh, crispy, and bursting with flavor. A must-try appetizer that pairs perfectly with their chutneys“

“I went to kabila's with a party of 8 the food was served buffet style , and everything was good. when we went to pay they refused to let us pay separately so please bring cash“

“Amazing Pav Bhaji. Extremely authentic and the environment is also very “desi street food”-ish. Absolutely recommended for anyone looking for some delicious pav bhaji“

“Seriously good food. We come on Sundays a lot for the buffet and there's always a great variety of all my favorite dishes.
The staff is very friendly and professional.
They also just made some upgrades to the space. The bathrooms and outdoor patio are so nice and clean.
Definitely recommend coming here!“

“I recently catered food from Hyderabadi Biryani House for a gathering of 20 people, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The packing was absolutely perfect—neat, secure, and kept everything hot and fresh.

Every single guest raved about the food! The spice level was just right, striking the perfect balance of flavor and heat. Their chilli chicken, fire cracking chicken, and dum biryani were truly mind-blowing—packed with authentic taste and aromatic goodness.

This is hands-down the best Indian food I’ve had in the Bay Area. Highly recommend for both catering and dine-in.“

“Walking in, I loved the energetic, street‑food–style decor—it feels like a busy chowk in Mumbai itself. The staff were warm and enthusiastic, and I got chatting with the owner about the menu, which adds a personal, passionate touch that’s rare these days.

I tried a mix of dishes: balti paneer (perfectly spiced and creamy), garlic naan that was just the right balance of soft and toasted—all solid choices.

Portions are generous, prices are reasonable for the level of quality, and the casual counter-serve setup keeps things relaxed.

Overall, Mumbai Chowk nails the authentic Mumbai street‑food experience in Newark. Great food, friendly vibes, and a real sense of care in every dish—they’ve earned a returning customer with me.“

“This is a great place and has wonderful fresh organic vegetables.“

“The Food Is Delicious, I recommend the chicken curry they can make as spicy as you like 👌🏽😎“

“Don’t let the location deter you too much because the food here is excellent, their chicken tikka masala is always superb and they prepare okra the best of any Indian restaurant I’ve had it at. The service is always friendly and polite and the restaurant interior is nice. I happen to work nearby and my colleagues and I come here once in a while or order takeout.“

“I love having my breakfast here of Idli, dosa, sambhar, vada etc. which is authentically prepared and is fresh, tasty and delicious. The chutneys are also very well prepared. They have vegetarian and vegan options. I love their coffee too.“

“I went with my family to tandoori paradise in Hayward. The quality of food is great. Service is also admirable. Would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Sambar Vada dip was alright, IMO a dish that's best had fresh instead of take out (since they are packed pre-dipped and gets too soggy after just 10mins).

The real star is their peanut chutney! Not too salty or too strong, it's just the perfect addition to any of their dishes. Unless you are allergic.“

“I have been twice now and the food is really good. I had the lamb biryani and lamb tikka masala. Both times the lamb was nice and tender and the dishes were super. I have not dined in, but while waiting I could appreciate the dim lit space. Everyone there is lovely and kind. I will be dining here frequently.“
