“The ultimate deli the r best. Sandwiches yummm 5 stars for this place ..I will be back again“

“Stopped by for some vegan dinner. We had the vegan momo, tofu noodle soup and tofu curry. Food was good, the front desk guy was super friendly and helpful when we ordered. It is a take away place, but they have some tables if you want to eat there (we sat down for dinner)..

Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian options“

“Restaurant is tucked away in a quiet corner of the mall beside costco. Atmosphere is cozy but can be noisy at times. Food was what you would expect at any south Indian restaurant. Nothing too fancy but not too bad. $14 for a Mysore masala dosa is pricey but that is SF Bay Area for you. Mediocre food at Michelin prices. The chutneys were cold but the sambar was piping hot. Imagine dipping one piece of dosa in chutney and the next one in Sambar. Your palette will.not know what to expect next. Again poorly designed dishes yet prices are high. Sadly, this is the norm in the bay area, so cannot fault this place.“

“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.“

“The food was good, I ordered Podi Masala dosa and it was perfect, the spice level and content and reasonably priced. The Sweet Lassi reminded me of Mumbai. With all those things, the ambiance is bit boring with no windows and you can see grocery stuff from the dining table, constantly reminding you to shop instead of enjoying the meal.“

“I been coming here for years.i have to say the food is always fresh and delicious.
The staff is always nice and courteous. I definitely recommend this place. Come and check them out. They have a great Ramadan buffet and its really good. Come support this small business.“

“Amazing. ... I went there at least 15 times. They never charge me for anything.“

“Excellent venue for events and food is the best.“

“We’ll definitely be back! Delicious food, clean environment, friendly, helpful staff“

“Best Indian Restaurant in Hayward. Food is so delicious and taste amazing. We tried Briyani, Garlic Naan, Noodles, MoMo(Dumplings), butter chicken and everything was amazingly delicious.“

“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.“

“I will be ordering from this restaurant again. ***** :-)“

“Delicious and Fresh! Every dish at Garam Mirchi tastes homemade with fresh ingredients and authentic spices. The paneer fried rice and the Hakka noodles had a great smoky flavor. Definitely recommended!“

“Momos are delicious. 10/10. You cannot go wrong with any vegetarian momos. Be it steamed, baked in a tandoor, or saucy (Jhol).

Breads are well-made to perfection. Curry was good, nothing spectacular. I look forward to trying other curries.

The dine in experience was excruciating. We were offered the pappadam immediately after we were seated. We waited 30 minutes for the momos (appetizer) to arrive and another 40 minutes after we finished momos for the main course (1 curry & 2 naan).

While we patiently waited 60+ minutes in total for our food, there were plenty of to go orders slinging out of kitchen every 2-3 minutes. I suspect this restaurant prefers takeout (they also offer discounts for takeout if I remember correctly).“

“My husband and I love coming in for the lunch buffet. It's so delicious!“

“Very good food with good service. Definitely, recommend for a visit“

“Great location and delicious Indian cuisine. Ambience is excellent. Menu covers wide variety of south and North Indian dishes“

“I came here to order a takeaway around 6.30ish.
I got spicy pav bhaji, and tried the new items a vada pav and the dabeli.
They hand a buzzer which will let you know when the order is ready.
The order was ready quickly.
The vada pav was very authentic with the dry chutney powder and the chillies. It was crispy and right amount of spicy.
The dabeli was tangy and sweet and the right combo with the crispy peanuts
The spicy amul pav bhaji was what brought me here.
The pav was loaded with butter and spices.
The bhaji was a bit large quantity and loaded with butter.
The bhaji has little heavy flavor to lavang/elaichi but was good overall.
Definitely gonna be back for the other new items“

“After a tiring vacation, this was exactly what we were looking for – a meal that feels homely yet festive, relaxing and soul-satisfying in every sense. Royal Thaali in Milpitas delivered just that, and then some! The bright and cheerful space was bustling with families and groups, all diving into their unlimited thalis with visible delight, and we were about to join that happy brigade.

What makes their thali special is how every element fits together like little pieces of a puzzle, each complementing the other so beautifully, or should I say, so tastefully. The meal began with a nicely churned and spiced buttermilk that arrived promptly, setting the tone for what was to come. As the server started filling all the little utensils on our plate, our appetite built up steadily, almost like watching a performance unfold before the main act.

The kala chana masala was a pleasant surprise – usually this dish comes devoid of any gravy, but here it had this thin, soup-like consistency that was lightly spiced and tasted incredibly refreshing. It paired beautifully with the accompanying kadhi, creating a harmony that was comforting and familiar. The dry paneer curry had that rustic, dhaba-like quality with minced tomatoes and onions that took me straight back to roadside eateries on highway trips.

But the show-stealer, hands down, was the aloo curry made with karela. Now, karela isn't everyone's favorite, me thinks, but the way they've incorporated it here offered a unique and pleasant bitter taste that elevated the entire dish. It was bold yet balanced, and honestly, I couldn't stop going back for more. The cabbage curry was as homely as it could be, the kind your grandmother would make on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

What really impressed me was the service – the ghee-laced phulkas and masala pooris kept coming to our table piping hot, even without us asking for them. The staff was attentive and the refills came just at the right time, making the entire experience nothing short of impeccable. There's something to be said about a restaurant where the service flows so seamlessly that you barely notice it happening.

And then came the desserts, which were truly the icing on the cake. The kheer arrived perfectly chilled, laced generously with kesar, and tasted phenomenal. Each spoonful was creamy, fragrant, and just the right amount of sweet. But what blew me away was the malai kalakand – easily the freshest I've had anywhere in the Bay Area. It was soft, milky, and had that melt-in-your-mouth quality that only comes from using the finest ingredients and making it fresh.

All in all, Royal Thaali is something you absolutely should not miss if you're in Milpitas and around.“

“Came to the mall to waste some time, but I was hungry. I wanted something easy, healthy and quick. I spotted the decals on the window of chicken biryani and butter chicken and it made me pause. This is a small dine in with table service or carry out place. Family run and owner. I ordered the chicken biryani. I don’t like spicy so they did mild. It was absolutely delicious. I wish I had a bigger appetite so I could order more. I highly recommend! Good for kids too because you share the meals.“

“🎉 Just had an unforgettable evening at Ettan! Cozy vibes, top-notch service, and every dish was a masterpiece. 🍽 The chef's special? Mind-blowing! 🤯 Whether it's for the ambiance, the flavors, or the amazing staff, Ettan's a must-visit. Left with a full belly and even fuller heart. ❤️ Can't wait to go back! #EttanMagic #FoodieDream #BestDinnerEver“

“Cheerful welcome greeting, seated quickly and attended to throughout a very good meal.“

“Pretty nice restaurant in the UC area, they were able to accommodate my group of 12 though the restaurant is a bit smaller. The service was good, unlike the other reviews servers came to take our order, and food was good as well.

Started off with lamb seekh kabobs which were really good, and chicken malai was ok as well. Got the chilli chicken, I think it def could have been spicier, and had more veggies than meat, but meat was good. Mango Lassi was actually nice and thick! For entrees, we got the kadai chicken, chicken curry, and goat curry, all pretty good. And I absolutely LOVED the gulab jamun with ice cream at the end.“

“We ordered dahi puri, palak chaat, chicken achari kabab and lollipop chicken for starters, along with few garlic naan, butter naan, laccha paratha, malai kofta and chicken lababdar. Most of the dishes are above average and the ambience is very nice and clean. However the service stands out over all this . Our server shanty was very friendly, attentive and took great care of us.“

“We ordered food from Idly Express Milpitas via Uber Eats. Excellent food quality, with good packaging. Everything tasted fresh! Thank you Idly Express!!“

“Fast service… pay once you are done eating. Do not feel like in fast food setting. You pick your seat and order what you want. Awesome filter coffee. They have Dosa happy hour. And quality of food is great. Even the 3 chutney they give you is tasty. Overall one of the best in town.“

“The food was really good, full of flavor and definitely one of the better meals we’ve had in a while. It’s great to finally find a place where the taste stands out. The only downside was the long waiting lines, and the staff seemed quite overwhelmed. Service could be smoother, but the food makes it worth trying.“

“Outstanding food at Chup Chaap Truck in Milpitas.
The Amritsari naan was perfectly crisp outside and soft inside with authentic flavor, and the kadai chicken had a rich, bold masala that tasted just like classic Punjabi dhaba cooking.

Simple, flavorful, and very satisfying. Definitely a must-try if you’re in the area.“

“Tasty food, family style and friendly service.“

“Sofi’s Quinceañera was an absolutely unforgettable event, and a huge part of its success is thanks to the incredible team at the venue. From the moment we arrived, we were met with impeccable, friendly service and constant support with every detail.
The venue looked stunning—elegant, spotless, and perfectly prepared for each moment of the celebration.
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“

“Really solid food. Great flavors, we had the Tikka Masala and the Pakistani beef dish. The naan was generous, we only wish the meat dishes had just a bit more meat to feel generous. That’s a good thing that we wanted more. Definitely a solid place.“

“Mumbai Chowk serves delicious staples and coastal Indian food! Personally I haven’t had Indian seafood dishes but their Pomfret fish fry thali is one our favorites! the goan fish curry, chicken kolhapuri, and butter chicken are some of other favorites!“

“A hidden gem in north san jose.
They are very accommodating, service is good and food is excellent in taste.
They are particular to what they serve the customers.
They use high quality ingredients and very clean place.“

“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“

“The Onam Sadhya was awesome ! My daughter who’s not much into spice loved it ! Thank you ! Yet to try the pothi chorre !“

“Maybe it was what we ordered or just a one off but the overall dining experience at Chowrasta just did not leave that feeling of satisfaction one should get after eating a delicious meal. The place was empty and looking at the seating capacity, it is more of a to go place. The hunt for Hyderabadi haleem brought us to this place. We also got the Mutton Mandi. Both of these dishes were served in plastic containers ready to go. The goat leg shank was tender and juicy but the Mandi rice was lacking flavor. The Haleem was better of the two items. Street Parking is a pain in this area especially in rush hours. Probably will try the Biryanis next time we are here and mostly will do a take out.“

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

“Food is very delicious“

“Found Indian-Nepalese food truck in Oakley called Momo N Curry. Was very excited to try their food. Finding the location was little tricky as we have to take inner road to reach this truck. When I reached there, I was the only one as this is new location (mentioned by person who was taking order) and they have certain location fixed throughout the week.

Ordered Samosa Chat & Veg Chowmain for to-go. They prepared the food per order. Samosa chat was tasty 5/5
Veg Chowmain wasn't that tasty 4/5
Service was good 5/5
It's a food truck so can't rate atmosphere but would say good location.

Would try other items next time.“

“Thanks to some amazing IG posts we decided to visit Khati Peeti yesterday in Fremont. The restaurant is amazing, while it took a couple minutes to get us checked in and seated at peak lunch time on Sunday, we weren’t sure if the service would be fast.
Happy to review that their service and their food flavors were bang-on.
The Dahi puri, sheel kaba orders came quickly and the plates were cleared equally fast. As if on queue the main course arrived as soon as the starters
We’re finished. The naans and Lula were perfectly cooked and flavored and so was the paneer entree. A dessert order and receipt were fast as well..
on the way out we met both father and son owners duo.
We will be back soon! Great job Khaati Peeti!!“

“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.“

“This was my second visit to Hyderabad Dim Biriyani and to my surprise the food was so much better and well prepared. Our mutton curry was little undercooked but once we mentioned about it the owner right away took care of us. I wish if they can make their naan for $4.—-little bigger. Also they should give some extra napkins to the customers so that they don’t have to ask for every little thing. I will recommend you to go and enjoy the food. It’s always good to complaint to the owner/manager so that they can take care of you and rectify if there is something wrong. #papihanandy“

“The vibe here is really lively. You can feel the desi atmosphere as soon as you walk into Chandini Chowk. We ordered Samosa Chaat and Pani Puri. The Samosa Chaat was delicious, packed with chutneys and yogurt. The Pani Puri comes with different types of water, and you get eight pieces to choose from flavors like mint, khatta meetha, kala khatta, pineapple, and mango. I really liked the khatta meetha pani the best. The chaat came out quickly, but we had to wait about 20-30 minutes for the pani puri. The best part is that we didn’t have to wait aimlessly, it was well organized with buzzers.“

“I was pleasantly surprised to learn of An Indian Bengali Restaurant in The Bay Area offering Authentic Bengali Cuisine. I have to come here more to check out many of their menu offerings!“

“It was our first time to go to this restaurant. The food was good, cooked fresh and hot. We liked the food very much and our server was wonderful. Looking forward to go again. #vegnchatcuisine #papihanandy #review #fremont #california #vegetarian #chholebhature #thali #vegthali #restaurant“

“I loved the food here. I ordered rice and goat curry, whereas two others with me ordered vegetarian dishes like dal fry, Gobi,chhole bhature etc My daughter ordered goat biryani. All of us enjoyed our meal. We brought along tea,coffee etc . Prices are reasonable. Ambience is good.“

“One of the good sign of simple but great clean food is look at menu options. A lot for time a place with very limited menu is the one where you would have great food quality in every food you order.

This was the case here. But keep in mind the Flavors here are Karnataka style. So you can't complain about Sambhar being on the sweeter side. Don't walk here expecting spicy food.

I tried Ponnugulu and Podi Masala Dosa and I enjoyed it thoroughly.“

“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.“
