“I’ve only been here once but tried a variety of dishes and they were all very good. It was hard to find the restaurant at first, it’s in the shopping center on the border of Pleasanton and Livermore and it’s inside a food court in that shopping center. You walk in and it’s the first restaurant on the right. They have an incredible menu of Indian and Nepalese cuisine. The momo is succulent with different sauce options. The noodles were freshly stir fried with a good amount of seasoning and oil. I liked their butter chicken and rice too but the portion was a little small. I will definitely return to try the other chow mein.”

“The clay pot dishes are great. The rice clay pot has tasty mushrooms and glass noodles. The curry clay pot is amazing too. Apps are great especially mushu mushu and avocado rolls. The mango sticky rice was sooo yummy too! Will be coming back here. Updated from previous review on 2024-11-04”

I was surprised to know even vada is made after someone orders it. The chutney varieties here reminds me of eating in India and gives a fresh aroma. Their thali meals is also wonderful and their menu items are so welcoming. Above all, their hospitality was truly impressive. They know to respect customers and accommodate requests with a smile as much as possible. They serve food in steel plates and they don’t expect you to remove the plates. In all sense, it was a classic Indian restaurant visit experience! Loved it!”

“Big shout out to the service at Denny’s over the Labor Day weekend in Pleasanton. Javier personally accommodated a group of 20+ all week long while we were in town for the Scottish Highland Games. He is what is missing from the service industry! Take notes.”

To top it off, they’ve got a ton of craft beers on tap, and they’re constantly bringing in new ones! Terrific atmosphere!”

“I very much enjoyed their food and tasty lunch menu options.

I opted for the sesame chicken, tea leaf salad and coconut rice.

The sesame chicken was quite tasty. It did feel almost like fast food due to it being so fried but it was good nonetheless.

The tea leaf salad was quite interesting and fresh, I was surprised at the variety of the ingredients and was pleasantly surprised.

As for the coconut rice, I was surprised when it arrived and was white (I expected a light brown color) however, it didn't retract from the very nice texture and flavor. Would recommend”

“Food is good and place is okay. Not fancy.Felt the dishes are little high priced based on the place, ambience and restaurant and taste and service. I would say it is a casual restaurant to have Indian food with variety, not a fun place with big friends group though.”

“I cant denied that i love this place, not because is my job, but all the team members are very outstanding to great the costumers and theres not way better than serv hot and fresh food all the time!”

“muy buena atención gracias”

“Stopped in around 2pm on a Monday. Facility was clean, well lit, attractive, had an appealing aroma when you walked in as if they were baking dessert waffles, it was a good first impression. Had to wait approximately 15 minutes for my tea. Had strawberry green tea with milk and pearls. It was an 8.5 on a scale of 1 to 10, good flavor, pearls were a little tougher to chew than normal, but overall a good product. I would clearly go back and try something different. I looked for the closest Pearl Tea Store and Google maps directed me to Mr. Sun Tea, however their street signage is not well displayed and it's easy to miss them.

Parking: Parking can be challenging.”

“Great beef noodle soup, regular and spicy. There's 3 different noodle width options, the middle one was perfect chewiness, slightly al dente and good thickness. The pickled cucumber side dish was yummy too.”

“One of Pleasanton’s finest restaurant for sure. Why - exotic Guyanese fusion cuisine that should please every palate. Very attentive service and a full bar. What else can you ask for? And yes, the nicest chef cum owner - Maurice and his son are real delightful people.”

“Jim's has quality food and the Service has always been excellent ....”

“We tried the Indian fusion pizza and yes they do half and half. We got half butter chicken and half tandoori pizza we wanted it spicy and they made them so. Overall pizza was flavorful and yummy. Had a great Indian pizza after a long time with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend them.
tandoori wings were super fresh cannot compare with other wing shops. Please keep up the quality, price and the taste, I am sure you will open up many more restaurants.”

“During my recent visit to Iniburgers in Santa Clara, I was treated to an outstanding culinary experience. The burgers I indulged in were a delightful explosion of flavors – the impeccably cooked patty, fresh toppings, and special sauce harmonized perfectly. What distinguishes Iniburgers is not only the outstanding cuisine but also their meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality ingredients. The staff showcased friendliness and knowledge, enhancing the overall enjoyment of my dining experience. The tasteful decor and comfortable ambiance of the restaurant make it an ideal setting for any occasion. I wholeheartedly recommend my delightful experience to fellow food enthusiasts. Hats off to the team at Iniburgers for orchestrating a fantastic culinary journey. I'm eagerly looking forward to my next visit to explore more of their enticing menu!”

“We had a retiree n someone Purchase. the cake. I had a big slice driving home from Pleasanton to Sacramento, and I. Decided to taste a little bit while driving. It was the best cake ever, and I wanna find out. Where did they get it from? Because I want it another one. It was light and tasty. The fondu was so delicious. And never taste a fondue that good.
It took me back as the most sexiest cake tasting ever. L, o, l, thank you so much.”

“My wife and I have been dining at Gold Chopsticks for years and we love it. They have an extensive menu and I love trying all the amazing dishes. You could easily get hooked on their Pot Stickers with their homemade sauce, Wor Won Ton Soup, Sweet & Sour Prawns, Combination Fried Rice, Broccoli Beef, etc. And I really don't know how anybody can beat their Black Pepper Beef Sizzling Platter, it is awesome on so many levels!!!”

“Very good poke food & service was great ! I would Definitely go back... peep em check em . Have a great day Everyone .”

The matcha kakigori was super fragrant with generous azuki and mochi inside. The kinako kakigori was pleasant and nutty. Highly recommend this place!”

“Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at a fancy restaurant with a specialty in guacamole and waffles, and let me tell you, it was an experience like no other. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted with a warm welcome and the ambiance was simply stunning. The décor was elegant and sophisticated, with soft lighting and comfortable seating. The atmosphere was perfect for a special night out.As for the food, the guacamole was hands down the highlight of the meal. It was incredibly fresh and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice and zest. The restaurant takes great pride in sourcing only the finest ingredients, which is evident in the taste of the guacamole. I also appreciated the variety of options for toppings and dipping sauces, which made for a unique and personalized experience.The waffles were another standout item on the menu. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the toppings were creative and delicious. Whether you prefer sweet or savory, there was something for everyone. I particularly loved the waffle with fresh berries and whipped cream.The service at this restaurant was impeccable. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly, and made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The attention to detail, from the presentation of the food to the impeccable table setting, was a true testament to the high standards of the restaurant.In conclusion, I would highly recommend this fancy restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. Whether you're a fan of guacamole and waffles or not, the combination of flavors and the quality of the food will leave you in awe. The atmosphere and service are top-notch, making it the perfect destination for a special occasion or a night out. Overall, this restaurant exceeded all of my expectations and I can't wait to return!

Vegetarian options: As a vegan, I often struggle to find restaurants that cater to my dietary needs, but this place exceeded my expectations.The menu had a variety of dishes that were clearly labeled as vegan, making it easy for me to choose what to order. I was able to try several dishes, including a flavorful roasted vegetable bowl and a delicious plant-based burger, both of which were fresh and beautifully presented.

Dietary restrictions: Milk is a crucial ingredient in the making of waffles, a popular breakfast food around the world. It provides the necessary moisture for the batter to mix evenly and achieve the desired texture. The type of milk used in the recipe can greatly impact the taste, texture, and overall quality of the waffles.The most commonly used milk in waffle recipes is cow’s milk. Cow’s milk is rich in protein and calcium, and it provides the waffles with a creamy texture and a mild flavor. Whole milk is often used as it provides a higher fat content, making the waffles tender and fluffy. Buttermilk is another popular option for making waffles. Buttermilk has a tangy flavor that gives the waffles a unique taste, and its acidity reacts with the baking soda in the batter to produce a light and fluffy texture.For those who prefer plant-based alternatives, there are several options available. Almond milk, soy milk, and oat milk are popular alternatives that can be used in waffle recipes. These plant-based milks can provide a lighter flavor and texture, making them ideal for those who prefer a healthier option. Additionally, they are a great alternative for those with lactose intolerance or a dairy allergy.The amount of milk used in the recipe can also play a role in the final outcome of the waffles. Too much milk can make the batter too thin, resulting in waffles that are dense and heavy. On the other hand, not enough milk can make the batter too thick, resulting in waffles that are dry and crunchy. Finding the right balance of milk is essential for making perfect waffles.

Parking: Upon arrival, I circled the block several times searching for a spot, but all the nearby parking options were full. I eventually had to park several blocks awa”

“This review is for a worker there, I believe his name is Daniel. He always works hard and has a very positive attitude! Friendly customer service and will go above and beyond for the customers. I’ll be coming back because of him! Keep it up, Daniel.”

“This Starbucks is just the most quaint drive thru I have ever seen. Believe it or not, they are quicker than many of the full service walk-in at Starbucks. There is a walk-up, but no walk in and sit down.None the less, I love this spot. Highway accessible, there is a Wingstop, Taco Bell near by and a Dollar Tree. Good location.. traffic flows well over here. The staff at this Starbucks is extremely polite, and the service is quick. Never in line longer than 5-7 minutes.”

“new owners, place looked great.”

“The food here is excellent. Definitely staples of South Indian cuisines. I love their vada sambar and coffee. Their coffee is especially spectacular. While the food is really good, I feel they add a little too much asafoetida in the sambar and that causes some bloating.”

“Really good food great service great prices”

“Very good food. We ate it up. Reasonable prices we can still afford. We shared a super burrito. They were kind enough to cut it and s serve it on two plates for us. We didn’t have to ask. Very courteous and pleasant. The chicken burrito had a lot of flavor. We’re going back for enchiladas and tacos next. Wonderful location, close to old Main St with all the shops Merry loves to see.”

Kid-friendliness: It's little ceasers they sell pizza and kids love pizza need I say more.”

“Love Peets overall but at this location they use paper straws and it's not working. This is the 2nd attempt after the 1st broke and practically tore, especially when i was trying to pull it out. Please consider another "sustainable" material. These paper straws were a waste & just don't work honestly...paper gets soggy??”

“Found this place bye accident a little over a month ago,now I eat here once a week”

“I ordered Pozole to-go (Tue Nov 12, 2024). It was delicious!! However, too spicy for me. It comes with diced onions, chopped radishes and shredded lettuce. I wish they would switch out the lettuce for cabbage as the lettuce wilts in the hot soup. I had Pozole from here last year, it was not spicy. Overall I recommend the Pozole if you like it spicy.

Parking: There is a raised step as you enter, be careful. Nice self serve salsa bar!”
