    Paneer Lababdar
    Aisling S.

    Service: really great for a food truck. We forgot part of our order and they went out of their way to make sure we got it. They even put in a dessert to make up for the fact that we had to drive back, Ambience: it's a food truck so not the nicest since it's a parking lot but they had a cool sit down area they share with the taco truck. They also have a pani puri stand where you can watch them assemble and also make the sugar cane juice. Food: Samosa chaat: was amazing and very flavorful. Definitely our favorite. I would want to come back and try the pani puri and other chaats since this dish was so good and their chutneys are clearly delicious. Handi Chicken: first I found this way too oily (or I guess gheey). Then personally I did not care for the taste. Flavors were a bit too earthy. Cashew cream on the side didn't add much flavor. Paneer Lababdor: again too much oil/ghee. I liked the cashew base here more than the chicken. But overall wasn't the most flavorful curry again didn't feel like the cream on the side added much. Overall 3.5 rounding up. I would come back for the chaats and skip the curry.

    Achari Soya Chaap
    Sankit G.

    I stopped by here with a friend and ordered achari soya chaap and chicken lababdar combo. The combo comes with rice, 2 roti, and some yogurt. I was curious to find out that combo and normal order were same pricing but in reality, if you just order the curry you get a bigger container, I guess the 16 oz one, and with combo you get 8 oz. Nevertheless, I believe the owner and staff here were very well organized and friendly. They grill the chaap in front of you and it smells just amazing. There are some tables to sit down and a lot of people can be seen eating atop their cars. The soya chaap was just amazing. My friend recommended achari soya chaap because it has better marination and at the end it also gets served in the cream sauce similar to afghani chaap. I thought the chutney on the side didn't have much appeal to the body or to the taste. But soya chaap was just amazing. I wanted to try handi chicken but it's not boneless, so my friend preferred chicken lababdar and it also didn't disappoint us. You can think of it as more spice rich and flavorful butter chicken. It was just amazing and the combo was right enough to fill us up. They also have live jalebi, pani puri, and other such stuff. I overheard one manager talking to customer about how their sugarcanes today aren't sweet enough even after couple of different batches he had tried so he was asking them to take something else as alternative or he can refund them. I thought these are small things that probably help them build a loyal customer base, if you stay loyal to your taste. I'll surely love to visit this place again.

    Malai Paneer Tikka
    Mugdha S.

    I stopped by this place on Diwali Day this year. Firstly, the vibe was chill with a few food trucks (Indian and Mexican) serving casual fare. However, their tandoor grilled paneer was PHENOMENAL. I ordered the malai paneer tikka. It took a while to cook, but it was fresh grilled paneer, cooked with a very flavorful mix of spices in a sauce made out of heavy cream. The dish was very rich, and one portion felt quite filling for 2 of us. However, it is the best paneer I have had in the Bay Area. Definitely worth a try! We also got Kadhi Chawal which was delicious, albeit a little spicy for my taste, and dahi puri. I was surprised by the fact that this food truck adds black grams and dry fruits to their pani puri / dahi puri, making it full of protein! Overall service was quick and we were done with our meal in ~30 minutes.

    Veg Keema paav
    Abhishek S.

    Great food truck. They have outdoor seating options or take away. We had keema paav, bhuna gosht and kadhi pakora. Everyone was happy with the food. You can either have combo or order bread and curry separately. They had paani puri options as well. This was the best outdoor food i had in California.

    Handi Chicken Combo
    Mystery M.

    I tried Atulya Bharat when they came to California State University, East Bay on a Thursday for lunch service. Quite a few items on the menu to choose from, which was great. I ordered the Handi Chicken Combo, which came with chicken, basmati rice and some veggies. The chicken was very tender and the curry that it was simmered in was delicious. I would consider ordering again. Took a star off because I didn't like how it was served on a simple biodegradable plate. The chicken curry was served in a small plastic container, and the rest was on a plate. I had to ask for another plate to be able to somewhat cover the food. It would have been better if they packaged the food in a better more togo style container rather than a simple open faced plate. The customer service was decent, the people working their were friendly and approachable to questions.

    Nice parking space
    Bharti S.

    They have shifted to a new location from today which is 1073 E El Camino Real Sunnyvale & their new timings are from noon to 9 pm every day ( 7 days in a week). Perfect rainy weather for some Bhuna Ghost & Rajma Masala. So I called & ordered via phone did a quick pickup this location has nice parking spaces since there are so many business around in the area. As always both the dishes were delectable and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Will go back again for more dishes from their menu.

    I got takeout from here last night. I've gotten takeout from here before but somehow this time, it didn't quite taste as good. I loved the smell of the food, the spices and the aroma just came together really well. But when I took the first bite, didn't quite taste as good as it smelt. It lacked flavor and maybe salt. The samosa chat was pretty good though. The chicken curry was cooked well, I liked the curry better than the meat pieces. Rotis were good too. Overall, an average.

    Never judge a book by its cover, although Atulya Bharat is a food truck, it has one of the best Northern Indian food I've tried. :P Everything was so flavorful!! So good! I can't wait to come back. I usually don't like lentils, but the lentils here was delicious. It was perfect with the Handi Chicken (must order) and the Makai ki chaat (corn), which tasted like an Indian version of elote but more refreshing than creamy. Both the Vegan Keema Pav and Bhuna Gosht were super tasty. Don't forget their infamous Pani Puri and Dahi Puri- it was so much fun watching them make it. These were so delicious! Crunchy, savory and sweet- little pieces of heaven. Make sure to order extra food, the left-overs were so good for brunch the next day.

    Pani Puri

    I have been wanting to try this food truck for a long time. We ordered gol gappas, paneer lababdar and afghan malai chaap. The gol gappas had 3 kinds of water: mint, sweet and one more which I don't remember. The person serving the gol gappas was really good. He even made our chaap order on time. The gol gappas are good, I won't say they are the best. But I was pleasantly surprised by Paneer Lababdar, it's absolutely AMAZING! the gravy was so flavorful and paneer was super soft. The chaap was also really tasty, my whole family really liked it.

    At last here to check out the food here!!

    Ok Saturday evening and we were looking to get some good north Indian fare from a place we had not tried in a while. We recollected that, we had not tried Atulya Bharat in many weeks. So we quickly got into our car and reached the food truck. Was looking to greet Chef Atulya, but the truck was managed by a team of Hispanic crew today . While we loved the efficient handling of our order taking ( & especially loved the cute way, the lady who took our order pronounced the names of the dishes ) we were a bit apprehensive whether the food would taste as authentic as when Chef Atulya is around . But we needn't have worried ! So we got our favorites - Rajma Masala and Bhuna Ghosht . The Rajma Masala was just as superb as we have become accustomed to and expect from chef Atulya. The Rajma, which was cooked to perfection, was soft and velvety . The masala too was thick, tasty and with the subtle use of the main spices, this was Chef Atulya at his best! As always! The Bhuna Ghosht was also just as incredible as it always is. Succulent fall-of-the-bone meat and spices that made up the gravy were so subtle and yet aromatic and flavorful. Waah! Lajawab! Is what comes to mind (Translates from Hindi to " Wow !" "Wonderful! " ) And the fact that we had gone to get them, rather than getting them delivered through Door-dash, ensured they stayed piping hot till they were served! We had a feast! Hope this makes your mouth water and you plan to visit this gem of a place soon ! Thanks again Chef Atulya for heeding the request I had made the first time I had visited , to keep up the quality and authenticity of your dishes! You certainly have and I can vouch for it again today !

    Special sukha puri!

    Who doesn't love food trucks? Atulya Bharat has it all. The most important is the food. It has it is spades. The samosa chaat was perfect. Crisp and crunchy samosa with amazing chole. And the treat was a live pani puri stand. 3 flavors of pani and the puri's are from Pani Puri company so you know they are using the best ingredients. The guy even made me a special sukha puri for the last one. So yeah, the food is awesome. And the rest of the experience was great too. The problem with food trucks is usually you get the food, but then what. AB has plenty of tables and chairs for you to sit on and enjoy your food. They are under a nice pop up canopy tent and some fun sting lights with a disco ball. Music playing in the background, good food, nice drinks. It's a great spot to have a wonderful meal!

    Maldev is the best! He's the best cook in the Bay Area. Also he's really nice and hospitalable. This place is definitely a gem.

    I was craving some Indian food late yesterday and a Yelp search and their great ratings brought me here. I called in to order and they send me a text link to order and it worked quickly and smoothly. They were very busy even though it was late at night and that is always a good sign. The food was really good and definitely stands out in the sea of Indian restaurants in the South Bay. The desi slider and the paneer labadaar were delicious. They did however miss some items in the order which I did not realize until I got home.. It's not that I expect perfection but what I value more is how a business responds when there is an issue. In this case, Priya was very responsive, apologetic and made it right. Well done!

    Trying 4 the 1st time to taste the hype :-)

For a Saturday morning, the energy was calm -- a good sign for a small spot that could easily get overwhelmed. The waitress set the tone early. Warm, unhurried, she asked how we had heard about the place before taking the order -- the kind of question a restaurant only asks when it is still building its crowd and actually wants to know the answer. Filter coffee arrived without delay, hot, no shortcuts. The upma and mini tiffin combo followed. Portions were generous and the food arrived warm. But dish after dish played it safe right up to the edge of forgettable. The upma had correct texture with none of the assertiveness that makes a good upma worth finishing slowly. The sambar leaned thin. The chutneys were there, present and accounted for, doing the minimum. Everything assembled correctly, nothing bold enough to make you look up from the table. Meenakshi Bhavan gets enough right on a weekend morning to be worth knowing about -- clean space, genuinely warm service, honest portions. The waitress clearly takes pride in the hospitality side of things. The kitchen needs to match that energy with a firmer hand on the seasoning. Good enough for a familiar weekend breakfast. Not yet good enough to become a habit. The paintings on the walls that were Indian and Tamilnadu related was great, but the other art work seemed out of place, not sure what the thought process there was with the management. Things where this could improve: Coffee taste can improve (may be sourcing from a different coffee vendor may help, seemed like a standard Narassu's powder from a grocery shop near by that probably was at least a few months old) Chutneys need a certain kick and that was definitely missing. Cleanliness can be improved for sure.

While the presentation of the biryani was nice - the flavor was rather flat and blah. The Goan curry was harsh - you could taste the spices were raw and had a bitter after taste.

Some other restaurants sometimes assume that ghee is okay for me but here they ask! I ask for my roti without ghee and I have never had an allergic reaction to my food after eating here. The interior is very clean and upscale feeling. The location is a bit unassuming located on the corner of a main road in Cupertino but they have a dedicated parking lot for the restaurant which makes things super easy!

The flavor was truly flavor-ing, and it had just the right amount of kick. I loved the spiciness!! Only note, there were quite a bit of bones in both entrees and I'm taking off a star for this. In the chicken especially, it seemed there were more bones than actual meat which was sad because the chicken was SUPER tasty. Tender and juicy and held the curry just perfect. The naan was also delicious as I prefer a thinner, flakier naan and they delivered! Also you MUST get the mango lassi here, they didn't skimp on the mango and it's the perfect reprieve from the spicy meal Will definitely be back to try their biryanis.

I especially appreciated that it wasn't just sprouted moong--there was moong, matki, yellow peas, black-eyed peas, and green peas. A true protein-packed bowl. Two thumbs up Vada Pav - Another hit! We devoured it Sabudana Vada - Crispy outside, soft inside, and just the right size. Didn't care much for the chutney though. Sabudana Khichdi - This one didn't work for me; it leaned a bit too sweet. Ukadiche Modak & Puranpoli - The stars of the meal! Highly recommend both. The modak was soft, pillowy, and melt-in-your-mouth with a great dough-to-filling balance. The Puranpoli was super soft, ultra-thin dough, and perfectly flavored stuffing--excellent in both taste and quantity Sol Kadhi - Just okay for me; not something I'd return specifically for. Kokam Sharbat - Loved it! Overall, a wonderful spot for authentic Maharashtrian flavors with warm, welcoming staff. I'd definitely come back!

    I had ordered takeout from this place during my visit to Santa Clara. My husband is from…read moreMaharashtra, and I've been there many times. My MIL has also made these dishes at home. So I was hoping for some amazing food from here. I haven't seen many Maharashtrian restaurants, so was very excited. Here is all I ordered: - Kothimbir Vadi: this is absolutely delicious. The flavor and seasoning is top notch. Loved it. - Sabudana Vada: we make this often at home and is one of my favorite Maharashtrian dishes. This was not bad. A bit bland for my liking. But was fried well and I loved the crispness. - Sabudana Khichdi: this was not good. I make this at home and what was sent to me was not cooked properly. Most of the grains were not cooked, and was too bland. - Bhakri: this was awful. No taste. No flavor. It was this white roti that was sent. Not at all like the Bhakri I've eaten in Maharashtra. - Puranpoli: I was super excited to try this as I absolutely love Puranpoli. But this didn't hit the mark. It was ok. Needed to be sweeter. There are many other things in the menu and I would love to try next time I'm in the area.
