“Visited this place recently when I was on a trip to California. They have a decent ambience but their restrooms were not good. We went there as a family for an evening tiffin and ordered standard south Indian tiffins. Loved their poori and aloo sabzi. All their chutneys were great. The vada was not up to the standard. But in general, it was good food. The service was quick and the staffs were helpful.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gf options availableParking: Outside the restaurant“
“I find myself coming back here time and time again and introducing all my friends.The service was quick and friendly along with food which was super flavorful and had a level of richness that sets it apart from other Indian restaurants. The food is delicious and the portion size is good. The pricing is super affordable! Most dishes priced under $15.“
“One of my favorite restaurants to eat at, with options that are very healthy and very delicious.The staff here are very cordial, homely and polite.I make it a point to bring anyone new to the Bay Area here to experience the taste of these amazing crepes.“
“This place was so authentic and hasn't changed in 20 years. I got started with the meat lovers pizza like I always do. I got a small and it was $26 so it is not cheap. The pizza was amazing. The crust was perfect and crispy and had a lot olive oil on it. All of the meats were cooked to perfection. The cheese was cooked perfectly and the cheese pull was immaculate. I got a little excited and took a slice before taking the picture . The service was really good as the staff was really nice and helpful. They came out with the food really fast. The ambiance is also really amazing it's like a Time Machine. Overall loved the place and definitely would reccomend for others.“
“This is my favorite spot for Indian food. My wife loves it too. We've had a la carte and the buffet. My wife first tried it at work- her indian coworkers ordered it for a team lunch.The buffet is really good. There is a wide selection and the food is fresh. They always refill the food promptly. My favorite is the tikka masala. My wife loves the butter chicken. There is also some indian dessert, but we've never tried it.When ordering a la carte, we typically order the lamb curry, orka and onions, and naan. There are two sizes so be sure to clarify which one you want. The price is fairly expensive compared to other places but its worth it. I brought food over to my mom's house for sunday dinner and everyone loved it. There is plenty of seating- booths and tables. The place is fairly clean. The bathroom is super small so make sure you go before coming in- its not the cleanest bathroom.“
“To start just want to say it is really a 3.5. Came in on a Saturday at lunch time. Place was pretty empty. Place is a bit on the smaller side. Service wise was just average. They took the order and food came relatively quickly, however server never came back afterFood wise orderedSpring rolls (3.5/5): was fresh, but nothing amazing. Would order again if craving spring rolls since they are reasonably priced comparatively Egg rolls (3.5/5): Nice and crispy and hot. Flavor was decent just needed a bit more punchBeef Pho + Meatballs (3.5/5): Well priced, noodles were a little on the undercooked side, broth mild flavor, meat decent cutsPork rice plate + shrimp (2/5): Would skip all rice plates if that was the standard. Small portion of meat, shrimp over cooked, flavor just meh (not worth the add on). Flavor of the pork was the only thing going until just got a huge piece of just fat....Over all this place is one of the few reasonably priced pho places I've seen these days. Will definitely be back to give the pho another shot and the crispy noodle dish. Definitely worth a try if your in the area“
“It's a tiny restaurant serving tasty, real North Indian cuisine. The all-you-can-eat buffet there is really worthwhile. Three vegetarian and three non-vegetarian curries, one daal, one or two appetizers—typically samosas and pakoras—chai, raita, and one type of rice are available. Since our initial visit more than five years ago, the taste has remained the same.They have the most delicious Malai Kofta curry. You must give it a try.The atmosphere is a little awkward and uninteresting. It was unfortunate that you could only purchase the ala carte goods. If not, just give the meal a try here once!“
“Stepping into Chennai Tiffins, you're immediately enveloped in the welcoming atmosphere of South India. The aroma of freshly prepared spices fills the air, setting the stage for an unforgettable culinary journey. With its unlimited buffet offering, Chennai Tiffins promises a tantalizing array of authentic South Indian delights, each dish expertly crafted to transport diners to the vibrant streets and coastal towns of the region.“
“10/10 beer, really interesting stuff. Great fermented foods as well, but the beer is really the highlight here for me.I'm told that the selection changes regularly, but stuff leans on the funkier side, with complex ingredients and processes. If you want a boring macro lager, the selection may (appropriately) disappoint. This joint is not for those with narrow palates. But if eclectic combinations or more flavorful brews are your vibe, you'll enjoy the diversity and character of what they've got.“
“Getting Cochinita Pabil to split for two. Pork was super tender and the pickeled red onions. The Queso with homemade corn tortillas. Our server, Able was on top of it! He spoke to the bartender to ask about making a Oaxacan Old Fashioned (not on menu). The Lunarittas are great!“
“This is hands down the best vegetarian Vietnamese food I’ve ever had. The summer rolls were fresh and delicious. I also had the vegan duck soup which had a great broth. It’s owned by a sweet family. Support locally owned businesses and come!“
“It does not have a luxurious decor but when u see the chef is out and about checking guests at each table, you know this is going to be a great dinning experience. Don't let the word "vegetarian" turn you off. There are plenty of wonderful dishes: Fresh spring rolls, Thai soup, seaweed salad, green papaya salad and more!!“
“We happened to be in the area and found this place after an internet search for vegan brewery. What a nice surprise. We ordered nachos, tacos and a drumstick, and enjoyed them all. They also had a nice selection of drinks. I would definitely go back.“
“Super quick service. We did a pick up of vadas and they had it ready within 10 mins and we liked the food so happy to come back anytime. Can't wait to try idlis next time because that comes highly recommended. Ambiance was decent .. the sambar was good too and happy to come back again with friends and family“
“Manny and his staff trear you like family. They are so attentive, professional, and friendly. The food is outstanding. Love the jalapeño dipping sauce. Fresh made chips and tortillas! We have the deluxe grill for 4, and there was so much meat we could not finish it all. The dessert, are a must to finish the meal.“
“Aquis menu is a unique and wonderful blend of Mexican, Asian and American. The food is beautifully prepared and presented. The only complaint is that the restaurant inside is very loud. I try to find a table outside or in the bar area where it is a little quieter.Vegetarian options: Wonderful delicious choices.Kid-friendliness: No special accommodations for kids but plenty of families there.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair access including bathrooms.“
“Vegetarian House - Vegan is a haven for plant-based food lovers! Their menu is diverse and flavorful, with creative dishes that satisfy every craving. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. A must-visit for vegans and non-vegans alike!“
“Really good food! The place is decent, sometimes the food is timely but sometimes the wait has been very long. The food is tasty and very consistent. Typically worth the wait if you’re looking specifically for quality vegetarian or vegan food.“
“Khaly was the excellent, attentive server and she is very kind and person’s server. She did recommendations for me and colleague and there were very good quality food. She deserves to be recognized for her excellency in taking care of our table today. Thank you. Khaly.“
“Overall this was a solid weeknight date spot. The dahi papri chaat is delish! Creamy, runny yogurt + super fresh chutneys + crisp papris. Other dishes to try include a paneer pesto puff and pav bhaji. Though you can get other really good pav bhaji in the Bay, this was also very good.“
“It’s hard to find vegan options in the us. This one is one of the best ones I’ve tried so far. The golden nuggets are amazing. The food I ordered for takeout was so hot that even after 1O minutes of driving it was still steaming hot. Prices are acceptable and the staff was kind. Didn’t wait long either. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.“
“Updating my older review: I've been coming here for years, since it's a reliable place with fair prices and quality food. (Sometimes I eat here once a week when I'm in town for work). In recent months, though, I've noticed a subtle change. The tomatillo soup (a longtime favorite) is now thinner, with less flavor. I've still been ordering it, but it's not what it was. And now, tonight, the bowl had substantially less soup- about 3/4 of what it usually is. And I also noticed the burrito was a little bit smaller. I'm always satisfied and don't get hungry for the rest of the night after eating here, but not this time. Shrinkflation? Hmmm. I give 4 stars, but I hope they continue the great quality and portions that I've grown to rely on at Aqui. If so, I'll gladly give them 5 stars again.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of families with kids here.“
“Love the idlis and dosas here. The chutneys and sambhar are very good too. They do get a bit stingy with their sambhar-like even if you order 4 items, they give you same amount. They even told us once that dosa does not come with sambhar:). Allsaid and done,a solid pickup joint.“
“Haven't tried many things on the menu but I love my go to order very much it's the lemon chicken bowl with no grapes or cranberries and instead of grilled chicken add crispy chicken I absolutely love it and it fills me up just right and I never feel guilty after to me I don't really count it as Mexican but still very good“
“Having read all the raving reviews, my expectations from this place were very high. We got the Bonda soup and the pani puri. The panipuri tasted good, not exceptional, but alright. What was disappointing was the quantity of filling offered. It wasn’t enough for all the puris. Maybe if we had more filling to spare for each puri, the taste would have been elevated. We were trying bonda soup for the first time, so we don’t know what to compare it to. But we weren’t impressed. The Bonda ‘batter’ separated from the fried crust on putting it in the soup. So we were eating the ‘batter’ with soup and the crust with soup, separately. Not a great experience. This was the place I was most looking forward to on our trip to San Jose and sadly, I am disappointed by it.“
“Great location, lots of space and outdoor seating. Fulfilling food - we had aloo paratha and chole bhature. The bhaturas were not oily. They were fluffy with spices and paneer.. nicely done! The paratha came with a blob of butter - and we couldn't have eaten all of it. Gurpal was a great, cordial host, prompt service!“
“Can’t go wrong with Aqui. Their menu is always being tweaked but they seem to keep what’s most popular for a long time. Of course their Swirl margarita drinks are absolutely fabulous, but they also make plenty of other great drinks as well.“
“I can't help but share my love for Green Lotus - a cozy haven for veg/vegan food enthusiasts like me! I've been here multiple times, and each visit has been wonderful- service and food!One thing that keeps me coming back is the fantastic pricing. Green Lotus offers an excellent range of dishes at pocket-friendly rates, making it a go-to spot for those looking for quality without breaking the bank.As a vegan, I appreciate the plethora of plant-based options available. From flavorful curries to savory stir-fries, Green Lotus has nailed it when it comes to satisfying my vegan cravings.However, I must mention the parking situation. It can be a bit challenging, especially on the weekends. But let me assure you, the culinary journey at Green Lotus is well worth the parking struggle. If you're a food lover like me, you won't let a little parking hiccup keep you away from this hidden gem.In conclusion, Green Lotus has become my go-to spot for a delicious and affordable meal. The love for their spring rolls, the variety of vegan options, and the friendly atmosphere have made it a favorite in my book. Despite the parking challenges, I'll continue to return for my fix of mouthwatering delights. Highly recommended!Vegetarian options: All food options are vegetarian or vegan.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options available“
“Our go to spot every weekend from the time the place opened up! It's almost become a tradition. It is also toddler friendly, they have high chairs, and they always accommodate little requests we have for updating spice levels and other small things. The service is super friendly and so is the overall vibe! Our fav food items to order: ghee kara onion masala dosa, poori, parotta, idly-vada combo!“
“This Southern Indian food restaurant is the best! Everything from idlis to dosas to chaats are very authentic. Just tried it for the first time and will definitely come back. Raja is an excellent, friendly waiter who describes dishes on the menu very clearly. Highly recommended!Parking: Parking at the restaurant and the lot next doorKid-friendliness: VeryWheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible“
“If you're craving flavorful Asian vegan cuisine, look no further! Ordered bunch of different dishes to try.Vegan Pho had noodles swimming in a rich, aromatic broth, infused with fragrant herbs and spices!Absolutely loved the Prata and curry combo.Manchurian sizzler is mix of bit of everything if that’s what looking for.Must try restaurant!!!Vegetarian options: It’s a vegan restaurant!!!“
“We tried varieties of dosa here, and rava dosa is really good. Podi dosas are not great, and could get better ones. Best part you ask ? Chaats. Masala Puri, Punugulu, Pani puri and irani chai are the best. Tip: ask to make masala puri spicy!“
“We are absolutely delighted with Pranita’s Tiffin Service! We've been ordering for few weeks now and have enjoyed every bite. Menu is different every week, and placing orders on Sunday makes the process very seamless. We get the food delivered for a nominal fees and the food is always fresh and tasty. I highly recommend this service for any busy individuals.“
“Shahi Chaat food truck in San Francisco exceeded expectations, especially with its must-try masala chai – the best I've had in the city. The flavors were rich and authentic, making it a standout beverage. The food truck experience added to the charm, giving a convenient yet delightful setting.“
“Came here with 5 other friends and enjoyed the food a lot. We shared 2 family platters, which was plenty of food, and we even had a little bit leftover. Would come here again.Parking: The parking lot isn't huge, so we had some trouble finding spots to park. There is a mix of normal pull-in spots and some spots that require parallel parking.“
“We discovered this little treasure by accident. The food was delicious. Disappointed my dish Ocean in a Coconut didn’t come in a coconut shell as described in the menu but perhaps coconuts aren’t in season. It did contain slices of coconut. My husbands mango curry chicken was to die for. Wonderfully sweet chunks of mango.“
“Totally in love with this restaurant! We came here to try a new Vietnamese vegetarian restaurant for us. We love trying different vegetarian restaurants in the South Bay. We ordered summer rolls, banana flower salad, bun hue chay, and bun cha ca chay. Everything was so good! Our favorite was the banana flower salad, so flavorful and full of texture with the crunchiness of the noodles and vegetables. My husband commented he loved the dressing of the salad. Portions were generous. There is a good amount of non-meat protein sources such as mock meat, seitan, or tofu that kept us full after eating. There is only one bathroom so I wish there was more bathrooms. Service was prompt and pleasant. It’s crowded here with people eating when we went so that’s a good sign.“
“Updated review:After a long day at work, we came to Chaat bhavan for dinner. Was able to quickly get a table as it was a weekday, don't expect the same on weekends as there are long waits. We ordered the House Thali and it was definitely tasty and bang for our buck. Two of us ate it along with extra paratha on the side. They also gave us complementary dessert to try which was also very good. Overall, will definitely be revisiting the place.Older review:Food is of very good taste and high quality. The restaurant is very neat and the servers are courteous. But they take too long sometimes for a take out. Tends to get very crowded on Sunday nights.“
“I had coffee there and its very close to the original filter coffee I had in India. The store has sparse sitting, so I would suggest doing carry on. They had a refrigerator full of prepacked curries. So pickup will be fast.The store is nestled between T-Mobile and Starbucks stores. Parking is ample.“
“Good food. Chaotic environment.. folks standing in line at entrance, employees constantly callings names on speaker (reminds of railway station announcements- not in a good way), little conjusted place in weekends. Bhature was not good.. pure mehda based.. order Puri instead. All chaats are good. Wish they can improve there ordering and table service.“
“I love this resturant have been going here since I was a kid with my parents. Their noodles are soo good you can't even tell they are vegetarian. I could eat here everyday. ? if you are ever looking for vegetarian food this is the spot to go. Affordable and fast.“
“Mitesh and Gabriel were just fabulous! The vibe was so great! Food was delicious we got DIY bowls and the paneer tikka, chicken tikka and tilapia Kathi rolls were delicious. The desserts were so good too! Won an Instagram contest to try this place (thank you desi) and will definitely be coming back for date night. We were with kids and they accommodated non spicy which was amazing but next time we come back will try their awesome cocktails!! Thanks so muchKid-friendliness: They were very kid friendly and accommodated non spicy which was great!“
“If you are looking to eat authentic Indian vegetarian, homemade style, then this is the place. I tasted their food in an event yesterday, it was mouthwatering. Perfect spice level and perfect quantity. They cooked for about 400+ people. The perfection shown in the packing box as well. This is a "Women owned" small business. The business owner shows her passion for cooking in every single item. Please order online www.wellbowlls.com. I guarantee, you won't be disappointed!“
“Taste wise am not really impressed. A simple item such as Dahi papdi chat was watery and just pressure cooked potato and black channa was added without flavor/spices. ordered Sabhudana kichdi, I can say it’s different and was too oily. Not sure to say it was good or bad, Complimentary tea was good. Service was also good.“
“Best south Indian food in the bay area. They have the softest idlies and crispiest vadas. Their coconut chutney tastes like the ones made back home. The sambhar was very good as well and the taste was similar to the one we get at Saravana Bhavan from Tamil Nadu.I highly recommend this small, clean and authentic restaurant for south Indian food.“
“Great food. Fresh ingredients. They make their food with great care. You can taste it how well everything is made. I tried their samosa chaat for appetizer. The samosa was freshly made before getting smashed in the chaat. You can feel the warm crispy samosa wrappers in your mouth. They serve it with onions garnished on top along with the mint and tamarind sauce. For main course I tried their Onion aloo paratha with Navratan (mixed vegetable) korma. It Was delicious. The texture of the paratha was perfect. Tasted awesome with the Navratan korma. The korma was cooked perfectly with all the vegetables tasting excellent with perfectly rich gravy.“
“We have been to veggie grill before about 2 years ago at that time the food was really good but this time we ordered Chicken pesto and Parmesan sandwich which was new on the menu and steak burger, I felt it was good but not that great which I was expecting it to be but the nachos that we ordered in appetizer was really good it was super loaded?“
“Probably the best pav bhaji in the bay. Their new restaurant in sunnyvale is pretty good. I wish the real juices were more reasonably priced but otherwise it's great. The service was also decent and hygiene was up to the mark. The truck did not have much of a seating area but love the seating overall at this location and feels great. 10/10 recommended.“
“We decided to stop here on our way back from Veg Fest. The cashier was patient and really helpful on helping us use our rewards from downloading the app. I was able to meet the manager Charles and he was super friendly and down to earth. We ordered the carne asada burrito and quesadilla. They were sooo good! We can't wait to come back for some more delicious meals in the future.Vegetarian options: Everything is veganDietary restrictions: Everything is vegan and they have gf optionsKid-friendliness: Kids meals for the win!“
“My salads are perfect every time!?Love this place and the service is excellent. The staff specifically at the Santa Clara location is always super friendly and accommodating ✨?Dietary restrictions: Make your own salad allows you to accommodate your diet restrictions“
