“extremely bad tasting food and bizzare combinations....miffed at kichadi like biryani with no flavour and being served with aam ka achar....god knows how this restaurant got Michelin star rating ....Shame on the chefs and the owners for ripping off the customers with overpricing of the food for poor service, absence of any ambience or decor“

“Best Himalayan cuisine ever! Never a bad meal! Fresh and made to order! One of my favorites!!! I ordered Lamb combination meal with a side of Tandoori Roti!“

“Wasn't a fan the first time though the cousins were. Enjoyed it much more the second time.

The first time we got medium spice for most of our dishes and was really struggling. So the second time we got mostly mild. But the mild had no spice at all. Would love if there was an in between spice level.

* Papadi Chaat - medium spice. Crispy. Cold. Didn't know there were spice levels for chaat. This is not a main menu item but instead a special we saw taped at the counter. Would get again

* Aloo Tikka Chaat - medium spice. Mixes really well with the papadi chaat

* Chicken Vindaloo (mild) & Lamb Vindaloo (medium) - both the vindaloo sauce came out tasting completely different. We don't know if it's because of the spice level or the fats from the proteins but it was different. We enjoyed the lamb vindaloo more.

* Chicken korma (mild) - good
* Paneer tikka masala (mild) - favorite but would have liked a little spice
* Chicken biryani (mild) - good
* Garlic naan - have garlicy. Not too oily. Crispy.

All curries comes with rice if you ask for it.
There are specials on the counter.
Free endless chai.“

“The people that work here are super friendly and hospitable. They knew me by name after the first visit and were extremely accommodating, even when ordering food like 15 min to closing. The food is also very good. We picked up food from here 3x in one week. ? The "mild" is definitely more like white people medium, but the flavor is very good. The stand out dishes we've had so far are the masala fries, butter chicken, and chicken biryani. It's also a good amount of food for the price in my opinion. Highly recommend this place!“

“We stopped there on our way to catch our flight at SF airport. We were short on time and we placed our order. Our server was fantastic helping us to order and we were served our dinner promptly. There was a feeling that all the staff worked together as a team, looking after all the tables not just their own station. That is a sign of true teamwork. We really enjoyed our dinner there. Food and service~ EXCELLENT!“

“Saffron is an Indian restaurant in San Carlos with a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere, and dishes that truly stand out for their flavor. I arrived shortly after they opened and was greeted by a server who, while polite, offered service that felt somewhat limited and lacked warmth. He handed me the menu and walked away, so I had to call him over to place my order—a detail that could definitely be improved.

I started with the cauliflower, perfectly cooked and paired with a well-executed sauce. The samosas, drizzled with yogurt sauce and a touch of tangy tamarind, were a true hit. Next, I had the classic chicken masala, served with an exquisite garlic naan. The food was excellent: authentic and well-balanced flavors that did not disappoint.

However, the service remained detached, with no drink recommendations or attentive follow-up at the table. The chai was delicious, and the dessert—a cheesecake in a cup—was good but not impressive enough to end the meal memorably. The server was quick to bring the check, but I would have appreciated more attention to detail.

Overall, the dishes are excellent and stand out for their quality. However, the service and dessert could be improved to make the experience perfect. I would give it 5 stars, hoping they refine those aspects to make this place one of my favorites for this type of cuisine.“

“Great food. Very pleasant waiter. View not so bad either.“

“Excellent pizza, will try again. Pizza crust is authentic, masala is fresh.“

“Amazing!! Enjoyed our dinner very much! Chicken was so tender. The flavor was amazing. Definitely will eat here again!“

“The food! The spinach paneer was delicious & the chicken Tikka Masada had a nuanced spicing that was scrumptious! The mint sauce had a nice bite and the tamarind sauce was yummy. The clayoven thali for two is an incredible value.“

“The staff are friendly, polite and professional. The food is good, delicious and tasty. Big portions.“

“Tilak serves a really nice dahi puri chaat that’s a perfect blend of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors. The crisp puris are filled with yogurt, chutneys, and spices, creating a burst of freshness in every bite. It’s a must-try for chaat lovers and a great way to experience the vibrant flavors of Indian street food!“

“Enjoy Nepalese food. Yummy on tummy“

“All is good Food and Service“

“Very nice decor Pleasantly surprised The food was flavorful And they gave good portions We will eat there again“

“The food was so delicious and the service was really great👍“

“Great Sunset neighborhood Indian/Pakistani restaurant. Friendly service. Accommodates my spice shy palate. Recently introduced thali lunch boxes perfect for single diners. Reasonable prices.“

“My family loves the food at this restaurant and we decided to order via doordash only to be very disappointed when our order arrived without any rice. Rice comes free with their meals at the restaurant and when I called them, the person said that they dont include the rice and charge $2.99 for it as an extra option on doordash because of the doordash fee.

As a frequent customer, I am extremely disappointed by this since I'm used to rice being included. When I suggested that they add that information in their doordash menu so that it is clear, she was less than empathetic.

So keep this in mind if you decide to use doordash.“

“Tried Curry Pizza House in Kent, WA for the first time. Great flavors! Wonderful wings, Desi bread, and pizza! The mango lassis are yummy. Definitely check it out!“

“Epic food. 100% recommend! Ordered the vijayawada paneer biryani, chicken biryani, and the chicken 65. We love it hot so ordered “spicy” and they delivered! The masala in the biryani is soooo effing good and trust me I’m a huge food critic! More so, when it comes to Indian food. The rice grains were cooked only as much as they should be, and were super flavorful. Please give this a try and I can bet you won’t be disappointed. If you’re South Indian and craving biryani, you gotta get takeout from here. Note that you cannot dine in because it’s a cloud kitchen with minimal (or no) human interaction. I’m from New York and would love to have a branch opened there! Management please look into this!

Vegetarian options: Lots to choose from. Excellent biryanis.“

“I ordered the punjabi prawn curry ( mild). It' so tasty. The store removes all the black suff from the backs of the prawn, otherwise it would take me a long time to remove it and my hands would get dirty. The chair is very comfortable. If you want to try indian food, this restaurant is a good choice.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at this Pakistani restaurant, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience. Their meals are absolutely wonderful, with everything made fresh and full of flavor.
The grilled chicken is perfectly cooked, the rice is fragrant and delicious, and the bread is freshly made right in front of you such a unique and delightful touch. It’s evident that cleanliness and quality are priorities here, all at a very affordable price.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic, fresh, and delicious food without breaking the bank. I’ll definitely be returning!

Parking: Inside the Mall - food court“

“Being Burmese, I can attest this is an AUTHENTIC Burmese restaurant which surprisingly is rare in the bay. We had the ginger salad, pork curry, and the saucy spicy chicken with jasmine rice. The saucy spicy chicken is a standout dish that is a traditional Burmese-Chinese style dish that I haven’t seen in any other Burmese restaurant here. It’s actually not spicy and has the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness and brought me back to Chinese restaurants in Rangoon. Their pork curry, which is a quintessential Burmese dish also passed my taste test. The lady that cooks here is Burmese and very nice and she told me proudly she makes everything from scratch. I’ll definitely be coming back here!“

“Yummy food. Highly recommend“

“wow Big Brother Special is a must so delicious ...“

“I ordered some samosas today because I had a final and wanted something quick but warm and comforting and the guy was very nice and it didn't take long and when I sat down and took a bite I was filled with so much love at that moment. it was so good. I don't get why more people don't go here it's amazing this place deserves the worldddd. I've eaten here before and it hits every single time I love this place“

“The food is so good - I love the bowls and Ginger iced coffee! Thank you for the nice service too!“

“good food ...the lamb beryani is good“

“The best taste with less spicy!“

“It looks like a small place from the outside, but the inside is big and the food is delicious. Very strongly suggested.“

“The food is great and always flavorful. I like to order the deconstructed samosas, Fried ravioli, and chicken tacos. Their mango lassi is very good too. My only complaint that I have now is that The chicken taco recipe has changed. It used to be really juicy and flavorful with grilled chicken, bell peppers, and pico de gallo. Now it has changed up to this horrible Recipe with chipotle sauce on it. Not nearly as good. I don’t know why they changed it. They should change it back.“

“Surprisingly, the Nepali food is excellent and worth trying in town! ?
I've wanted to try it for a while, and I finally visited. All the food was delicious and the service was also excellent. The outside table was cute and had a heater in the chilly afternoon.
We tried Chicken Momo Steamed, Vegetarian Momo deep-fried, Lamb Biryani ?️, Garlic tikka french fries, Butter Chicken curry, Roti, and Mango Lasasie. Everything was good ?? Biryani was too spicy for me.
My favorite was chicken mono and butter chicken curry. I should come back again!“

“I love momos , fried corn , noodles & fried rice ...“

“I was there about a hour and a half ago they were very friendly I ordered the Zante’s special I left Zante pizza to wait for my pizza to be ready my mind was not here due to just leaving a funeral!!!! I left my purse and my phone on the chair by time I realized I panicked ran back up the street to Zante’s and my phone and purse was sitting right where I left it I was so relieved and grateful!!! Great people that work there and great Atmosphere“
