“We discovered the place by accident and am glad we did. I had chhole bhature - they were savory and I loved them. Wife had seekh kabab wrap. She said it was the best she had in many years. Service by Jass was way above and beyond. Highly recommend..“

“One of the best food I ever had in California.“

“We have enjoyed Authentic Puran poli with Pure ghee, Modak and Kothimbir vadi, so many times, felt like home made dishes are served keeping the delicious taste unchanged.
Second time we took dine in experience too, which was quite satisfactory and relished the taste. Lunch thali was adequate, tasty but portion size of sweet served was very small.
Misal pav was quite tasty, kadhai paneer, bharli vangi had bhakri had authentic taste.
Its really enjoyable experience.“

“Went on weekend...was bit crowded, difficult to get parking spot.I had to be in queue for 15-20 minutes to get a table.It offers several varieties of dosas and other Andhra tiffins.Quality of food was very good .They offered 3-4 Chutneys, people coming for first time would enjoy Allam( Ginger) chutney for sure.“

“This is a reallly wholesome, family-run Indian vegetarian restaurant. For $18, they have a very tasty all you can eat buffet. They bring to your table some fresh made chapati too. There is a delicious lemon pudding for dessert and also always fresh fruit. If you want some good home cooking, this is the place.“

“We had a solid Indian lunch experience at Jashn in Santa Clara. Apps hit the spot - good size, taste, and texture. Main however could've used a bit more Thai curry like they described, but still tasted good. Portions felt a tad small for the price - would love bigger mains for a more sumptuous meal. Naan and tandoori roti were spot on. Will return, to try the rose kulfi live-prep Xp @ the table.“

“Tasty food, family style and friendly service.“

“A family favorite we keep coming back to! The buffet is always satisfying, and the butter chicken is a standout — our kids love the flavor even though they can't handle spice (extra water helps!). Desserts are delicious, and the complimentary drinks are a lovely touch. The staff's honesty truly shines — I once left my purse behind and didn't notice for three days, yet it was safely returned to me. That kind of integrity says everything about this place. Highly recommend!“

“Nice decor, friendly staff, delicious food. Open late which is awesome. Tried their live pani puri and dahi puri chaat. Live pani puri, as the name suggests, is served live with 5 different sauces - mint, mango, pineapple, tamarind, forgot the 5th one. They bulk sell the tamarind one (khatta mitha) in packs too. The movie wall decor is very cute“

“Have maintained their food quality. Good service, nice staff.“

“My visit to The Ketli Chai in San Jose was a fun and flavorful experience, especially for anyone who enjoys Indian street food and authentic chai. The restaurant has a casual and modern atmosphere that makes it a nice spot to relax with friends or grab a quick bite.

I ordered a cup of their signature chai along with a couple of small snacks. The chai was rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced with spices, giving it a warm and comforting taste. The snacks were freshly prepared and full of flavor, capturing the essence of traditional Indian street food.

The staff was friendly and helpful, and the service was quick even during a busy time. The menu also has a good variety of items, so there are plenty of options to try on future visits.

Overall, The Ketli Chai offers a unique and enjoyable dining experience with great chai, tasty food, and a welcoming vibe. It’s definitely a place worth visiting if you’re in San Jose and want something a little different.“

“This is our go to place for biryani in the Bay area. Both paneer and chicken biryani are really well made - flavorful and the right amount of spice. Try the gongura biryani for higher level of spice. Recommend the veg bullet and paneer Tikka in appetizers and lemon soda/mango lassi for beverages.“

“Great food, cozy ambiance, unparalleled service. The young man (perhaps the youngest there) is extremely courteous and polite. He really cares for the customers and wants everyone to have great food and a good experience. We had an amazing experience thanks to him.“

“Went to the Buffet lunch today. The food was delicious and the choices - plenty. Good options for both . Excellent service.“

“The food was delicious. I especially loved the buttered naan. My son said the Chicken Tikka Masala was to die for. I tasted it and it was really really good! The man whom I think is the owner was very nice and friendly. I even took some home to go 1 1/2 to 2 hours away. Thank you for your courtesy and the great food!“

“Perfect lunch meeting place - the food was good, the service was non intrusive, the place was very well appointed and I was able to reserve, show up, get seated, etc all very easily - the food was quite tasty and well made - highly recommended“

“We love food here and we come here very often. Ghongura Mutton Biryani, Chicken 65 are our all time favorites. They are a must must try!!

We tried Laccha Parantha and Chicken Zalzala recently and it turned out great.

Service has improved a lot lately. Keerthi was helping us during our recent and she is very professional and assisted us well.“

“The food here is phenomenal...! By far the best Indian place I have ever been.“

“I and my husband visited yesterday to celebrate our anniversary even though we had reservation at 6:30pm we somehow ended up there early at 6pm and staff was super friendly. One thing this restaurant has is after every course they change the dishes themselves not like other restaurants where we have to ask them to change.
We tried Harippa Paneer Tikka, Adraki Dhaniya Paneer, butter naan and then garlic naan. Paneer were superbly marinated and grilled, Adraki Daniya Paneer was the best curry I have tasted in the entire US and also naan were super soft. I definitely recommend to visit this restaurant and I and my family are going again on February 1st already made the reservations.“
