The food here is really good and the price is reasonable. This is more of a takeaway set up with some tables for dine in.

Worst Indian food I have had in the US. Too spicy and watery. It felt like the dish was made from left over water after making noodles.

Soggy roti. Pathetic front desk. Bad kitchen and epitome of unhygienic mess.Enough said, 0/100

Their Veg thali was really good. The best homestyle chapatis I have had in a very long time. Papdi chat was about average or less. The issue here is that the restaurant closes too early. By the time you get off work it’s closing. When we reached they were already cleaning up. They still accommodated our request to swap the mutter paneer with Paneer lababdar which was delicious.It’s a reasonably priced menu. Would To Go next time than dine in. They also offered a complimentary beverage. We picked Mango lassi which did not really taste good. I wouldn’t have paid for it.** Overall good homestyle food. And they serve delicious SWEET dal with their Thali so any non Gujaratis out there you beware. **Parking: There’s parking in front of the restaurantWheelchair accessibility: It’s right from the parking so wheelchair accessible

Worst Indian food I've ever ordered. Can't understand why it was rated so high on doordash.What's worse, the thali that I ordered was damaged and there was plastic pieces in our food.

I remember it being better.Their prepared roti were the best in the south bay and we would drive distances to get a few packets...Yesterday, after many years I did that. Brought them home and found them leathery.Not what I remember them to be. Days of driving distances to get Kokila's rotis are sadly over.

I had a similar experience to a few people on here. Ordered from Uber eats. The listing was for a Tick tock tikka house. I ordered butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. When the order arrived, there was no rice included. Both listings for butter chicken and chicken tikka masala end with "includes aromatic basmati rice." I located the address from the Uber Eats listing, and google mapped the restaurant. It had a completely different name. I called the restaurant, and the gentleman who answered told me he remembered my order and that "Curries do not come with rice," and promptly hung up on me. I made my own rice and warmed up my curries for my family.I'll never buy from this place again, and i encourage you not to order from this unscrupulous restaurant.

Very disappointing! Food was liquidy/watery and tasteless. The environment is not clean or nice. The tables were dirty. The cooks were not Indian so they just don't know how to cook Inidan food. Do yourself a favor and skip this one!

I have been eating at irregular times. No, I'm not trying to intermittent fast, but everything is dictated by work because my job is so unpredictable. I did not have breakfast, did not have lunch, had 1 burger patty at dinner so I was checking out Yelp as I was doing some volunteer work w/ the crisis hotline center. My shift was from 7PM-11PM. I could not leave because I was on the shift, so I used technology to get food delivered. The order was placed before I went on Yelp. The reviews made me skeptical and felt I should already anticipate a mediocre meal, but not only was everything delicious, it was spicy as well! I ordered their chicken dum biryani and vada pav. The intoxicating blend of spices and herbs really is what makes this dish amazing. The chicken was tender and the rice was generously portioned. It was spicy! I enjoyed this dish so much. The vada pav was soft, spongy, and it paired very well w/ the chutney it came w/. A comforting meal. I'm glad I went in on a whim.

If i could give it 0 stars, I would. We ordered food online and we show up and they're closed. Not picking up the phone either.

Mega sketchy. Ordered from app: description of curries says rice is included but we received none of the two we ordered. Shop as listed on the app (Tick Tock Tikka House”) is not on the maps, but I drove to the listed address only to find a shop with a different name “Kokila’s Kitchen”. They confirmed they fulfilled our order but were puzzled about how we found them and asked confirmation of the address that is on the app. They said rice is not included and you have to buy it separately, and when I showed them screenshots they said “We don’t write that description, Uber eats people do that”. They finally gave me a single portion of rice that I didn’t have to pay “just for this time”. Place was not the cleanest and one of the “mild” dishes was pretty hot. Avoid.
