We’ve ordered takeout from here at least 50 times, and it has always been perfect. Great service, hot food, and extremely affordable especially for the Bay.

No frills Indian food gem in the heart of DTSJ. The mint chicken dish, garlic naan, masala dishes, and saag paneer are never disappointing.

I placed an order for a corporate event. It was a decent size order and similar to orders I had placed that week with other restaurants. First everyone said this is lowest quantity of food that was delivered for the same price between Mediterranean, Thai and Indian food. In Paneer Tikka Masala there were laterally 10 pieces of paneer and were gone by the time 3rd person started to serve themselves, half tray full of just liquid curry, nothing else. Naan were so chewy like they were made a day before and reheated and served. Quantity of Lamb curry and Chicken Tikka Kebab were not enough either. I did tell them to please do a good job delivering as it is a corporate order and set the precedence for future orders. But sad, greed got them.. Sticking with Thai food which was extremely appreciated for taste and quantities for the price

We placed an order at 7:45 pm on Sunday night and Uber showed pick up time of 8:50. We got to the restaurant at 8:30 in case it was ready early and the restaurant was closed even though it says it closes at 9. We called the restaurant and they did not pick up as well. Be very careful ordering from here!We’re super bummed because we were excited to try a new spot in our neighborhood but this is incredibly disappointing…Go eat somewhere else, there are many reliable delicious local businesses to try in the area!

I drove there and didn’t like the atmosphere so decided to take out.This restaurant hit the lowest bar. I have tried almost all restaurants around and food is sometimes good and sometimes not so but food from here was INEDIBLE.Samosa: Smelled wired. Couldn’t eat at all.Naan: uncooked, tasted like dough.Saag Paneer: Tasteless, I don’t know what they put in it but wasn’t Saag. I tried putting some salt in it and didn’t help. Tased like something boiled.Packaging was broken too and leaked into the paper bag.As always never expect napkin papers or fork spoons anything from here. You can’t really eat out in a park or in your car. Only choice you have is to bring it to your kitchen.

I was there with my wife and friend and food was not good, quantity was small and priced high. My friend gave it minus 2 out of 10 no wonder there was no customers besides us.

The food is delicious here. I had Malai Kofta and their garlic Naan was perfect, warm, slightly crisp with some charring and lots of flavor. I loved how the naan was thinner soft and not so doughy.The kofta was soft, flavorful and sauce rich and silky. The pakora and chutneys crunchy and not greasy. The ambience was unique in that it’s in this neighborhood that has character, not too sketchy and not sterile, some of the bungalow homes look like they were painted and nice blooms in their front yard. There is a neighborhood park across the street. It was an interesting neighborhood with an urban charm. The service was super attentive. I want to go back for dinner. I can’t wait to go back.Vegetarian options: A section for vegetarian based dishes.

Do yourself a favor by not giving your money to this restaurant. Terrible food. Maa ki Dal Makhani was I don’t know which Fufa ka Dal. The dishes had enough oil to deep fry all the food at restaurants in downtown San Jose.

This place is not clean and I had weird odd toilet smell coming into the dining area.
