Hidden Gem for Indian Street Food in San Jose!
If you're craving authentic Indian flavors in San Jose, this small place inside SoFA Market is an absolute must-visit! I tried their Samosa Chaat, Veg Puff, Flavoured Golgappa, and of course, our classic Indian Masala Chai — and every single item was spot on and full of flavor. The taste, presentation, and freshness reminded me of home. It's a cozy little setup but delivers 5 out of 5 on taste and satisfaction....

It is inside a food court. There are adequate seating options and service was quick

I got the samosa chaat. It was good. Not anything phenomenal but fit the bill.

We hired desi express for catering for a birthday party. The entire process of ordering and delivery was very seamless. Ritika was very helpful with the planning and grazing table was very nicely setup with the theme of the party. All our guests, including the kids enjoyed eating the bite sized portions and found the food very tasty. Thank you for the great service!
