“It was my first time here, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. We ordered a variety of dishes, including dhai bata dev puri, tandoori chicken, butter chicken, kulchas (onion and paneer), chole masala, and kadai paneer. The service was excellent, and the food was simply amazing. The meat was tender and flavorful, while the chaat was a delightful burst of taste. The kulchas were soft and fluffy, and the butter chicken was perfectly balanced, not too sweet. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience.“

“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.“

The food was excellent, full of flavor and beautifully presented. Our guests were truly impressed.
We deeply appreciate the professionalism, organization, and kindness from the entire staff. We highly recommend this venue and will definitely choose it again for future family events. Thank you for making Sofi’s dream night come true! Raja thanksssssss“

“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 came here for lunch. The karvepaku chicken is good. The Naga special curry is very good. It tasted like chettinadu chicken but not chettinadu. The garlic naan and butter were cooked well. The rose soda was amazing. My daughter loved it. The service was great and adjusted the spice as requested. Overall like ved the food and service. Will come back again !“

“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. 😋☕“

“Idly Express Fremont is not just a takeout spot — it genuinely feels like an emotion ❤️

Kumaresan Anna and Yoshika bring so much warmth every single day. You can feel their happiness in what they do, and it naturally spreads to everyone who walks in.

Aditya and Jugesh are always caring, greeting customers with a calm, quiet smile that makes you feel comfortable and welcomed without saying much. And Hameed, as always, delivers the best.

This place goes beyond food. It’s about familiar faces, simple kindness, and that feeling of comfort you don’t get everywhere. Every visit feels personal.

Idly Express Fremont isn’t just where you pick up food — it’s where you feel at home. ❤️“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“Very good tasty food in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The service was fast and the staff was great. We had chicken tiki masala, fish curry, spicy coffee and samosas. They have quite an elaborate menu. I can't wait to go back and sample more items.“

“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.“

“Back to my most favorite place to eat. Thanks to you Mr Abdul Aziz and your wife, you were upto the best as always. I have been coming to this place for last six years.Best authentic and food that tastes just like made at home. Hopefully I was staying near. I would go there every day. Thank you to Mr and Mrs Abdul for keeping this place a great one.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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 👌🏽😎“

“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.“

“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.“

“For romantic atmosphere and healthy options“

“The Best Indian Food ever ‼️“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pure flavor adrenaline! 🔥

The Mutton Seekh Kebab with butter and Rumali Roti gave me an actual adrenaline rush — soft, juicy, and insanely satisfying.

The Buttery Chicken Tikka tastes like the chicken took a butter bath… rich and ridiculously yummy. 😭💛

And the Honey Potato with fresh fries instead of shots? Surprisingly addictive — it slaps hard.

Fresh, bold, and full of flavor — this place is a whole vibe. ✨🔥“
