I recently visited BAPS Shayona Café in Chino Hills, and it was such a unique and peaceful dining experience. Located right next to the beautiful BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu templt. Even though I was here just grabbing a quick meal, the temple is quite calm, welcoming, and almost feels like a mini getaway. Really interesting structures and nice views. The service was OK. Staff wasn't as friendly but you can tell they were busy keeping things efficient and moving smoothly even when it got busy. Since it's cafeteria-style, ordering is quick, and the team can be available in guiding you through the menu if it's your first time. There is indoor and outdoor seating and even though there were staff outside wiping down tables, I can see they use the same cloth towel to wipe dirty and clean tables down. As for the food, everything here is vegetarian and made fresh daily. They even have their own brand of frozen food items as well. For this visit, we got a bag of Samosas (even when it stated spicy, it was too spicy for me to handle) and one Aloo Puff (even this was too spicy for me). Both were made fresh and quite delicious. They gave us tamarind and chutney sauce (one packet each that were complimentary) to cut the heat from the spices. I also got some mango lassi and gulab jamun as my perfect finishing touches. The overall feeling of eating there is peaceful and comforting. Plenty of parking on this lot. However, during my visit only 1 gate was open so I had to drive in a circle to find the gate that was open for this Hindu temple. It also had a security guard there so that's interesting. As for the cafe, it is not your typical busy restaurant vibe--instead, it's quiet, family-friendly, and relaxing. It was nice to sit down with flavorful food and enjoy the surrounding the serene temple atmosphere. read more

This Indian snacks store next to the gift shop inside BAPS is filled with salty and sweet snacks. For around $5 a box, you can find all types of goodies, including ice cream here. East Asian Indian snacks aren't for everyone, but for the value of what you can get here, portions are considered big. Lots of Indian biscuits/crackers/cookies/flavored and dried chips/etc. Indian snacks aren't always too salty or too sweet for me. Lots of different spices in the ingredients. Buttered tea cookies are common. Samosas and aloo puffs exist here. You can grab quick bites to enjoy. Fully staffed. Cashiers are easy to work with. There's also restrooms in back with a spacious indoor area for you to grab condiments or to enjoy what you purchased. Most Indian families and visitors are sitting outside in the huge shaded patio area. Temperatures outside do get very warm underneath the sun. Decent. Place looks well maintained. It's a good addition to BAPS especially after you finish your tours onsite. Convenient. Gift shop next door isn't huge, but at convenient walking distance. Not bad at all. It does feel like you're in East Asia India for a moment. read more

This shop is pretty cool! There's a huge variety of Indian sweets and snacks. There are so many options! We got a couple items to try. There's also a hot foods area where they sell foods like samosas. There was a line to pay but it moved pretty quickly. There's lots of seating available inside and outside. read more

Great cafe next to the BAPS temple. Gated area just tell the attendant you're visiting. Head right and park in designated areas. The cafe will be the small building with outdoor seating area. Lots of sweet and savory items to choose from. All made fresh in house. Hot prepared items, masala tea & samosas. On the weekends they have more prepared food items available. I luv papdi chips! This cafe has some of my favorite ones. Masala please! Luv that spice. It has a sort of egg yolk sort of flavor, crispy and light. It's hard to have just one. Thank you friend for introducing me. read more

OMG absolutely come hungry! So many choices of hot food to ead,and it's attached to a mini market.so grab your goodies, go outside and enjoy the patio while you eat your delicious foods. Try a lil of everything! Again service and customer service is good. They will answer questions before you buy, but signage clearly stated what's inside each food item I can't wait to return! read more

Very nice vegetarian food. It is self service . The ambiance is also very nice. I always enjoy this place for Gujarati snack and dine in. read more

This is actually a café and a store. The door to this area brings you into the store and the café is inside to the right. To get to this café & store, you need to go to BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Chino Hills. It is a Hindu Temple. The Café is open daily from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Someone had said that the mango lassi from here was the best they ever had, so I wanted to try it for myself. While it wasn't the best I have ever had, it was good! It was very refreshing! I selected it & a Masala Chhas from the refrigerator. They are ready made & bottled drinks. We didn't care for the Masala Chhas, which is an Indian Spiced Buttermilk. I bought them from the café area. At the cashier's area, you can also buy a few snacks as you pay for your other purchases. It's quick and convenient to add on some Aloo Puffs, Samosas, or Patra. After we enjoyed walking around the temple grounds, we came back to the store. We shopped and bought some pre-packaged snacks to take home. The store is full of both sweet & savory snacks! If we go back, I might try their Thali. I love Thalis because you get a little bit of a bunch of dishes. They're served only Thursday-Sunday. read more

I can't speak for the cafe food, but my partner and I did order the following prepackaged snacks: Milk Cake: solid milk cake. Not too sweet with a nice semi-chewy texture. Almond Cookie: Yumms. Also not too sweet, but have a very nice loud crunchy. I could probably finish the whole package in one sitting. Samosas: decent. Nothing that really stood out but the bread was very flaky and there was a decent amount of filling. read more

Limited options when I was there. I heard normally there is a full menu at the cafeteria but the options they had when I was there were very limited and simple. I would like to try their regular menu if it has not been discontinued. read more

So tasty! It looks like the cafe was under construction. They still have great food, but I don't think that it was their full menu.

We've ordered the combo plate from the cafe without knowing what's in it. Well, we finished everything no explanation is needed. We also bought some goodies called London chocolate and another one with dates and pistachio but I forgot the name. Those were delightful and not too sweet. I wish this location was close by because I'd eat there again if it were. read more

Very rude staff in the entrance of the temple. They implemented a wristband system and I asked when it started the lady said it's been for a long while. Which is a lie! I explained I donate and come often so I knew she was lying. Done with this place read more

Good Gujrati freshly made food. Service n ambiance is ok. The most I like about this place is that food is fresh... not like typical restaurant, where all food items are premade and they are warmed up for serving. read more

Very nice place on weekday. Lively peaceful setting. Walked around and enjoyed it. Nice cafeteria. Most things were not available in cafeteria on weekday since they were out of staff. read more

If you are Diabetic and even if you are not , the food from this place will make you one. They put Sugar in every food; in sweets, understandable. They should stop calling their mix AFRICAN CHEVDO ; and name it Potato Mix instead. This place has turned into a PROFITEERING place instead of SEVA. The community must act and discourage UNHEALTHY practices; especially at a place of Worship and SEVA. read more
