My girlfriend picked this place to celebrate my birthday. We started with the momos, which were decent, but for the main course, we tried their popular Amritsari chole and kulchas. The kulchas were tasty, but the chole didn't live up to the hype - the whole spices in the dish were overpowering and tough on my stomach. Overall, we felt it wasn't worth the 50-minute drive (from San Jose) for what turned out to be a pretty average meal.
We had the chicken biriyani and litti chokha. Its really good. They are very close to the authentic taste. The chicken biriyani here is lucknow style which is a bit rare to find in the east bay. Irrespective of that detail, the biriyani is really amazing.
Portions and service, really good.

p.s: if you get a patio seat on a sunny day, you get a nice view of the bay and the Golden Gate bridge.
Excellent! The food, vibe and service are all outstanding.

I tried the litti chokha, pippal daal, momos, vada pav and malai kulfi. Everything was delicious. The malai kulfi especially is worth the visit itself.

The only improvement they could make is to make the food less spicy.
