Charminar Indian Restaurant and Catering | Fremont

I can’t believe a “Hyderabadi” restaurant can serve such poor biryani and chicken items. We had to return Lahsooni chicken tikka because it was chewy and super hard. Chicken 65 biryani was flavorless and the chicken was all soggy and mashed. Chilli Chicken was over the top saucy and super tangy. They should call it ketchup chicken. Chicken tikka masala was okay but tasted like butter chicken.

On top of the disappointing food, the service was very slow with just one person taking order for everyone, that too on a Sunday! In fairness though, once the orders were taken, the food came out pretty fast.

I went excited, but left very disappointed. Avoid this place. In the crowded Indian restaurant space of Fremont, this won’t last long. Plenty other options.

The food was exceptional and we usually take chicken biryani but this was my first time eating at the restaurant and we loved the food and the service. Harsh was super sweet she explained us about each and every dish and was very patient with us. I would highly recommend this place.

I ordered food from Charminar for a party at home. I called them to make sure food was ready on time, and the staff was friendly, and the food was prepared on time. We ordered both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes for our guests. The order included bezvada biryani, sufi kaju chicken, palak paneer, baby corn manchuria, and veg biryani. However, I would like to point out that food standard was not good. In Bezvada biryani, it was just chili flavor and nothing else, too hot and not flavorful. Even the quantity of chicken was much lower than what's expected in a family pack. I have had bezvada biryani from other restaurants, and they were far better than this. Sufi kaju chicken was too salty, though the chicken pieces were soft. Baby corn Manchuria was also on the hotter side and not that tasty. Palak paneer was ok. Will I try again? Maybe not, because we have better options available in the Bay Area.

Tandoori chai from Harsh was great!

We went to attend a reception function.
Hyderabadi mutton dum Biryani was the best!
Custard apple kheer was delicious.
Chicken 65 was very fresh and yummy, not dry and hard.
The tandoori naan was ultimate, crisp and hot, i could just eat it by itself.
I had Sufi chicken for the first time and it was tasty, very rich in white sauce.

Awesome ambience for a small gathering of 30 to 40 people.
Loved the place and the food!
