“The food is very good. But the idea is serving in disposable wares is actually a bad idea. This is a case of good intentions but bad results. They should switch to stainless steel wares which is more eco friendly. Right now these disposable wares even if they a compostable (not sure ) will occupy spaceThey also have an issue with planning for the crowd. They are on the precipice of going down the tubes if they are not careful with crowd handling. Bay area has lots of options and no one has good experience with the service staffThe lady in the front (I believe the owner or owner spouse) must learn a thing or two about customer service. These people have to understand that they are not doing us the public any favors . That is the vibe this lady gives“
“Omg!! I am so glad we came to this place. Food was absolutely, DELICIOUSSSSS!! I wish I could eat more . I had one of the combos and my husband had a ghee masala dosa. So tasted many things, and all I can say is everything was great tasting. Service was great!! Smiling gentle servers, ambiance very welcoming and cozy. I will be visiting this place again and again and again and Ofcourse will share with as many people“

“We became regular customers as the taste is always consistent and close to family food taste. We sometimes takeout if we are not feeling well as the food is very kid friendly. The manager and staff are excellent and always taking care of customers. The cleanliness of environment and staff are the reason we chose to go here. Wish they grow big and hats off to the team. The kitchen is super clean and love veg options.“
“We tried this place today. Ordered pani puri, masala puri, dahi puri , muntha masala and an egg puff.All the dishes are excellent. The pani puri was really good. The egg puffs was nice and flavorful reminiscent of puffs I've had back in the day. Muntha masala is a must try item from them. I havent seen this in this bay area. This reminded me of my childhood.“
“What a hidden gem! 10/10 recommend. Great service and what an idea… Indian food on pizza?? I mean come on. The butter chicken pizza and the Bombay pizza were delicious. I am only here for the weekend and we are already planning on coming back.“
“Amravathi is a great spot for tasty Indian food. They have a wide menu with options for everyone, including vegetarians and meat lovers. I loved their Pepper Fry Chicken and Mutton Sukka. Prices are reasonable, making it a good choice for families.“
“The new and improved Everest Momo. We had visited in the past and liked the fried rice, noodles, and momo. I was craving some spicy fried rice so we decided to visit. When we walked in, we realized this was not the Everest we remembered from 6 months ago. We chose a table and then received a completely overhauled menu. There were so many choices and lots of them looked delicious. We went with the veg biryani, tandoori aloo, and laccha paratha. We asked for things to be made spicy. Everything was delicious and the sauces were fantastic. Before we left, we were already making plans to return.“
“I have been here quite a few times and i love the concept of this place. I love the katti rolls, the burritos and the Pizza. Not a great fan of masala fries but the ones mentioned above were good to taste. Ambience is okay, the staff is a bit slow to take orders and needs to work on their communication skills. Over all i like this place. Seeing so many reviews about food poisoning is a little concerning to me, so I request the owner to double click on that and address those concerns. I haven’t had such a bad experience but these reviews can overshadow the great concept, food and taste this place offers especially the katti rolls which is a rare find in the bay area.“
“Came with daughter and her friends, they absolutely loved it!First, the appetizers. We started simple- gobi manchurian and a chaat Papdi; but the gobi was so good we ended up ordering a second.Ordered myself a mojito and Shirley temple and lassis for the table, absolutely top of the line.The entrees came next. The Kadai paneer has amazing spice, although for my daughter’s friend it was a little too spicy. Veg biryani was class. Also bought us a kofta curry, but portion sizes were very good so we were not able to finish, but the dish itself was excellent.5/5, easily one of the best Indian restaurants in the Bay Area“

“We liked the restaurant experience here. The variety is amazing given how limited the seating space is. A lot of it was takeaways like I observed by sitting there.Tried the Benne Dosa, Thatte Idli, and their complimentary free coffee.Benne Dosas are 2 pieces in a plate, and more like plain uttapam in my opinion. The image of Benne Dosa in my mind was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This was soft on all sides. Taste was good, and very reasonably priced. No issues there, but too much quantity for me. I wanted to try other things also but I was full.Thatte Idli was awesome. The amount of ghee and podi they give is really generous.Will surely come again to try other Dosa varieties and appetizers. Haven't shopped at the grocery section yet. Maybe next time!Check out my Instagram food page @veggie_central for more delicious stuff!“
“Quality of food was great, and everything including chutneys seemed to be freshly prepared.I recollect the quality had taken a dip after they reopened after the pandemic, when they lost their original cooks.But, this time, everything tasted authentic, and the service was swift and courteous. They came a few times to see if we liked the food, and offered free refills for Sambar , Chutneys etc.Ambience was great, well lit, tastefully decorated, clean washrooms etc.We had been going to Mylapore over the past months, to follow the craze and hype...Every-time waiting for 45 minutes to be assigned a cramped table, and offered a limited range of menus, and servers not caring to have any feedback whatsoever..However, decided not to go with the confirmation bias this time.. and came here instead..And glad that we did, and will be coming here more often.“
“Dined at Frontier Spice Indian Cuisine last night. The flavors were an absolute delight, and the service was impeccable. Tried their signature dishes, and each one was a burst of authentic Indian spices. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming. A memorable culinary journey that I look forward to repeating soon!“
“Probably the best Indian food in the valley-that I've had so far. Can't comment on the restaurant itself as I had delivery. Chicken korma, which is my go to, was delicious. The rice was a generous serving, and it was plump, moist, and fresh, which isn't always a thing, especially when you order delivery.“
“Ordered chicken bryriani and idli with sambar. The biryani was very flavorful and delicious with lots of juicy chicken falling off the bone, tender. The idly was very soft and the sambar was full of vegatables and perfectly spicy the way I like. It is served on a banana leaf which is nice. Portion size is good.“
“The servers in here takes special care of providing options of different spice level. I love the Appakadai chettinad cuisine(spicy) made to my level of heat tolerance. They also have breakfast menu for the weekends. They ocassionally have a nice spread of traditional dishes during Indian festivities.Recently they have started happy hours from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm. Love the food! Enjoy!!Vegetarian options: Good option ?“
“Tried this place for the first time and i am a fan! I got the paneer parantha which was both hot and fresh. The white butter was also delicious as well as the raita. Reasonable price point and also good portion sizes! I will be back to try the rest of the menu, very excited to have found a new favorite north indian restaurant in the area.“
“The owners are very friendly, kind and accommodating. They always remember me and make an effort to talk to me and catch up. Besides the owners the food is outstanding. It is really hard to find good Indian food and this place is the best I have ever had and I have tried a lot. I now live in Mountain House and still travel to Pleasanton to get food from here. They always make my food spicy as I request very very spicy. I only wish that they had more locations. Try this place yesterday!“
