    Dal Kachori Garlic naan Mango lassi Butter chicken

    The most kind and helpful staff. The staff had great recommendations and even taught me how to eat the pani puri. They went out of their way to offer great service. Very clean and pretty establishment. Food was great and delicious. Definitely will be returning!

    I haven't had much Northern Indian food before, and the stuff I had here was delicious! The owner was really friendly and helpful when it came to recommendations, and she even gave us a complimentary special puri dish! It was filled with yogurt, pomegranate, and chutney, and it made a really balanced and refreshing bite. The yogurt itself that came with some other dishes, like the veggie paratha and deluxe thali, was absolutely fresh too. I also loved the daal and aloo subzi puri (WHICH WERE HUGE). The puri that came with it were spiced and texturally really interesting. Man, the prices are pretty great too, but maybe that's just the Bay Area resident in me who's used to things being at LEAST $18. Counting down the days until I come back, especially for their carbs. Drooling.

    If you're craving authentic North Indian flavors, Bikanervala is a spot that delivers on taste and quality. I tried the Paneer Butter Masala, and it was absolutely delicious -- rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. The Basmati rice was fluffy and fragrant, pairing beautifully with the paneer. The Garlic Naan was soft, well-buttered, and had just the right amount of garlic kick. To start, I had a Samosa, and it arrived piping hot -- crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. The dipping sauces (especially the tamarind and mint chutneys) were spot on and really elevated the appetizer. Overall, Bikanervala nailed the classic North Indian experience. Whether you're a longtime fan of Indian cuisine or just getting started, this place is worth a visit! The place is pretty clean and new too! I liked it. They also sell pastries / desserts as well. The workers were nice and super sweet too. They did check on me to see how the food was. I'd recommend them!

    Yummy food! Snacks and meals if you order the thali, it's a cute place with great service and good ambiance! Will def be back

    Paneer and butter naan
    Amisha S.

    Honestly this place was not good at all. My piayz kachori was gross, it looked like they just put it in the microwave. I ordered another raj kachori because that's what I wanted but she gave me piyaz and didn't even refund my money back ... Raj kachori the outer shell was fried in bad oil, and full of sweet yogurt u couldn't taste any of the fillings. Paneer was sweet, Naan was k. All flavorless and sweet. Their number system they need to work on. They gave my food to another order so I had to wait another 20 minutes for my food. I had to tell him I have been waiting forever. I really just wanted my money back but it's an Indian restaurant so what can I expect, no refunds. Horrible place I would never come back.

    Paneer pakora (4 pieces total, we ate 3)
    Kaleend D.

    Amazing food and taste. Staff is friendly too it is self service and you have to place order at counter. There are water filters for fresh water. The paneer pakora had some stuffing in it which made it taste nice and fresh. The pyaaz kachori was delicious. The deluxe thali was the highlight. The laccha paratha, the daal makhani, shahi paneer, the sweet all absolutely spot on. Loved it.

    A friend of mine recommended trying establishment since they open recently. The owner happened to be present and was extremely helpful and friendly. I ended up taking a pound of the Bengali sweets, which were delicious and reminded me of my childhood days growing up in India. Also tried their Pav bhaji which was also delicious. I would highly recommend Trying them out

    The deluxe thali
    Ajitha M.

    India is always close to my heart so indian food is soul food. Ask me to rate the food and my nostalgic bias kicks in . I am harder on indian restuarants then others but bikanerwala passed my test. Ambience 5star Food 5plus stars Service 5 star Must try the onion kachori.. Loved ever bit of it... only downside was the disposable plates and silverware

    Falooda
    Poonam M.

    Was excited to try this place as my dads family is from Bikaner. Really was looking forward to ordering a Raj Cahori but they ran out the day before, we order papdi chaat instead but it was just average and very small portions. Chole batura the larger size at $14 came with 2 batura and tiny bowl of chole , chole were on the spicier side, but decent taste , but dont order the double batura when there is barely enough chole for 1. Dhokla was ok , a little dense, but not overly sweet. Ordered falooda ice cream , was a complete disappointment as it texture was very grainy , there was no tukmaria or rose syrup in it either. I probably would not go back. Rasmali was good. Saag and makki roti , i was told roti was on dry side

    Chhole Bhature
    Dharmendra S.

    Have been thinking to try this for couple of months but was pushed back after looking at yelp ratings. Finally tried yesterday. First bite of chhole was straight from streets of Delhi, best chhole I had in US. Bhature needs some improvement as it became papad few minutes after serving. This is not same as usual Bhature I had in Bikanervala in India. Deluxe thali and Aloo paratha were amazing. Exact same taste that we had many many times in India. At the end, couldn't resist taking home those yummy sweets.

    The owner aunty is very sweet and polite. We tried the chole bhature here and those were really nice. Then the paneer tikkas were also very nicely made. The best part was the packing. The chole and paneer tikkas were so well. Very professionally done. Sealed off the box and achaar bro I didn't have to worry about anything spilling in my car lol. Amazing overall.

    Deluxe thaali beautifully packed   .

    Hello! Do you have any options that have no onion / no garlic? Also, is everything all vegetarian? Sounds to good to be true!

    Hi, yes we are completely vegetarian. Our items with no onion/garlic are the chole, dal kachori, matar kulcha, and all the cold chaats with no green chutney.

Any smaller of a table would've been a tight fit for all our food. It is very aesthetic inside with modern decor with a casual feel. Service was attentive, and ordering was quick and easy. We ordered a Thai tea, pad Thai with chicken, and yellow pumpkin curry with beef. The Thai tea was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. From our table, we saw the drinks being made to order. As for the food, the Pad Thai was delicious! The chicken was juicy and tender, and it looked like they used chicken thigh instead of the typical chicken breast. The sauce was perfectly balanced without being too sweet or salty, and I loved that the vegetables were still fresh and crunchy. The yellow pumpkin curry was just as good with rich flavor! The beef was tender, and the chunks of pumpkin added a subtle sweetness and great texture. I also liked how it came with a generous side of rice. By the end of the meal, we were completely stuffed. I can easily see why this place is so busy. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area to try the other dishes on the menu, like the papaya salad with crispy pork.

A few of our favorite vegetarian restaurants have been closing down lately, so my mom and I have been searching for a new spot. We were SO HAPPY and SO SATISFIED with the food and the spectacular service here. Everything here is vegan. If the name has a protein in it, just know that it is a faux version made of mushroom or tofu skin. Since it was our first visit, we ordered a lot hoping to find a few good dishes, but we were pleasantly surprised that everything was delicious. House Hot Tea ($3) - Great deal for a pot of hot tea for the table. Very complimentary to the food. Hot and Sour Soup ($11.95) - Warm, soothing. I love that it's a chunky sweet and sour soup. Lettuce Wraps ($11.95) - Fresh appetizer to compliment all of the other warm items. This was really crunchy and well textured, which you can lose with vegetarian/vegan food. Crispy Oyster Mushroom ($19.95) - MUST ORDER! One of our favorites. The mushroom has a tasty batter and it's deep fried with basil. Simple but delicious. Sesame Crispy Fish ($17.95) - MUST ORDER! Super crunchy and flavorful. I think it's made from seaweed and tofu skin but it has the crispiness of baby fish. General Tso Chicken ($16.95) - A really good mushroom alternative. We were really surprised how much we liked it. I haven't had the meat version of the general tso chicken, but I'm digging this vegan version. Chicken Fried Rice ($13.95) - A good base for all of the delicious food. My mom commented that it was too bland, but I feel like if it was any more seasoned I can't eat other entrée items with it. To me it's a base, and it was what we needed to round out the meal. Great friendly service from beginning to end. They were really good about refilling our water, giving my mom extra napkins, helping us pack up our leftovers, and all those small thoughtful touches throughout the meal. We will DEFINITELY be back soon!

My kids like it too. I specifically come here for those noodles. The pictures I have aren't the best because I dug onto the food before thinking of taking pictures. The noodle dish is the most consumed . The buns are a hit or miss. Wontons are decent. Orange chicken my kids like. General tso chicken is spicy but I think it could be made mild. Pretty good. Husband's favorite. Kung pao shrimp I liked but no one else. Tomato with "egg" was good, flavorful. Wish it was real egg but perfect for vegans. Lychee green tea is good. They accept in kind payment! I've been here many times. Haven't had an error in my orders. Orders come out pretty quick.

They used to have made-to-order food but now they switched to buffet style. It's small but it's special since it's the only veg buffet in the area. I think it's a wonderful and fun switch. I haven't had a "good" buffet experience since I started eating vegetarian 8 years ago!! When we go to a normal buffet, the options are so limited (even more when you're vegan) but it can't be helped if the rest of your party wants to go and aren't veg. The food tastes pretty decent and "clean." Nothing feels super artificial or incredibly greasy or unhealthy. I think the only thing I wasn't fond of was the bok choy because it was a tad over-salted. I would love to go back and try their instant ramen bar too! They had two noodle machines and a toppings bar. On the other side of it is where you can choose from three drinks and add in drink toppings as well. They had milk tea, a Taiwanese black tea, and an herbal tea. All drink options were on the sweeter side so if sweet isn't your thing then just stick to water! Service is mainly just when you walk in and pay for the food so I can't speak much on it. It's self-serve and you throw away your own plates, bowls, and utensils as they are disposable types. I personally think it'd be better to switch to reusable because it would make less waste but I suppose they offer what they can handle within their means. I would definitely come here again!
