“I went to the post office next door and decided to go in to buy some curry to make chicken with curry, and I found a small restaurant there. I decided to have lunch there; the food was typically Indian, with Indian spices. For my palate, it was strong because it was spicy, and I have stomach problems with spicy food. For those who like well-made and clean homemade Indian food, I recommend the place; it's clean, the food is clean, and the preparation is clean.“

A fantastic place to try something different and enjoy a satisfying meal. Definitely a 5-star experience—highly recommended! 🍕✨⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“We had Mylapore Kitchens cater our housewarming lunch, and they truly made the day special. From the start, Hameed sir took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and handled our 50-person order with the same care and attention as a much larger event.
The food was outstanding and felt deeply nostalgic. The rasam on a rainy day was perfect, the tangy tamarind rice and creamy vegetable kootu were highlights, and the spinach dal and okra sambar were comforting and full of flavor. The vadai and unlimited appalam were a hit with both kids and adults. Ending the meal with curd rice, fresh mango pickle, and buttery badusha was just right.
We also appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of lassi options so all our guests, including non-Indian friends, could enjoy the meal comfortably. Serving on bamboo plates with banana leaves added a beautiful, traditional touch.
There’s a saying that a housewarming isn’t complete until guests are fed and satisfied, and Mylapore Kitchens truly delivered that blessing for us. Highly recommend.

“I stumbled across this place after officiating a wedding nearby, and I'm so happy about it! I'm currently sitting in my car afterwards with a full and contented tummy.

I decided to have Thalia as I didn't know what it was. To my delight, it was several small bowls with scrumptious dishes.

The lamb in coconut was so tender. The creamed spinach was incredible and the veggies with perfectly flavored, allowing their natural flavor to shine. The channa massala was nice and spicy, maybe medium level. It kicked but was still full flavored. The yogurt side was so good that I ate it alone, lol. The rice pudding was delicate, a perfect balance to the full flavors of the other dishes. And the na'an was to die for!

Nita, my server, was such a sweetheart! I can see why this place has been around for 18 years with such excellent service and food!!“

“Came to the grocery store. But was hungry in the evening time so we decided to try out some stuff. We ordered Pani puri, dahi papdi chat and samosa chat. Dahi papychat was good and my 4yr loved it. It was mild not spicy but still flavorful. Samosa in the samosa chat was fresh out of the pan..so tastes great. Pani puri is good too. Overall pleasantly surprised by the good food.“

“I went with my family to tandoori paradise in Hayward. The quality of food is great. Service is also admirable. Would highly recommend this restaurant.“
