Had a terrible experience here at Santa Clara location. Staff missed to deliver the full order on time , and then they started saying that we could not make your order, please eat what ever you have on the table. And as it was closing time they didn’t even offer to make anything else.
So the vegetarian person had to settle with white rice and curd and pickle.
So why would anyone come to a restaurant to eat that.
Also the staff is complaining that this happens as you guys came at the closing time. This is normal.

Such a bad experience here at this restaurant.
Not worth coming here to eat and then leave the restaurant by arguing with the team and not getting the full order.

Permanently closed :( The place was packed with people everytime we went, and the food and service and staff were all awesome. This was our favorite Indian restaurant in the Bay area over the last decade. The other branches don't quite get to the same experience.

We loved the food. Aappam was very tasty. Vegetarian biriyani was great plus other items we had. I would love to go back again.

Briyani was pathetic. Other items were below average. Service is pretty poor. They decided to run the place with couple of teen ages and they do poor job at handling things. I don't usually post reviews, but this made we wanna post this. Its better to avoid this place unless you want mediocre food with pathetic service.

I was here on a Friday evening. Food was meh at best. Both chicken and goat curry did not have much flavor.

Appam was good. The egg curry was ok. Three boiled eggs. The veg korma with the appam was just so so. Not at all delicious.

Filter coffee is good. They can make it strong too.

Aapakadai is our favorite restaurant for the taste. We regularly go to sunnyvale. We are new to santa clara. Today we tasted 😋 food. Delicious and mouth watering. Really nice. Ambience also good and spacious when compared to sunnyvale. However, its getting renovated. Hope it will be open soon.

We were visiting from Midwest and really wanted to try fresh fish fry and crab masala.
It was disappointing that we were served reheated food. All the food we ordered weren’t fresh. Only parotta and chapathi were freshly made.
It was as if chef called in sick and someone was trying to use up the left overs!
We had been their restaurant at different location another time and the experience was good. But this time it was infuriating to get charged full for dry overcooked reheated food.

Ordered dosas and all of them came cold. We told them and they didn’t even bother to replace.

Ambiance is good.
