    If you're a true foodie, you've probably heard of Bikanervala but if you haven't don't fret. Bikanervala is a global name that started in the royal city of Bikaner, Rajasthan. Known for its irresistible sweets, snacks, and traditional Indian delicacies, The definition of feeling like "a kid in a candy store." The menu is large and can be a little intimidating for first-timers so keep that in mind but just know that you really can't go wrong with any of their dishes. There are plenty of small quick bites and chaat (hot and cold snacks) to pick. I was informed by the staff in about two weeks they will be rolling out they're larger northern India dishes, and platters, so stay tuned...And of course, they have cases upon cases of desserts. Here is what I would recommend: Chhole Bhature - MY FAVORITE DISH. Fluffy, golden-brown bhature (deep-fried bread) paired with a perfectly spiced chhole (chickpea curry) total comfort food. Pani Puri Atta - a more popular street food, are perfectly crisp and golden fried puris waiting for you to fill with potato, chickpeas and sauce. For dessert my absolute favorite small bite is their Kaju Apple sweet treat. Trust me. It's a 10/10 and the inside filling was so fun, I felt like a kid again. It was magical...Some honorable mentions would be their Pink Karachi Halwa (think a sweet thick gummy treat) and their Malai roll. Thank you to Bikanervala's staff for making me feel welcome and putting up with all of my questions lol. Everyone was so sweet and helpful. Just a note, please be patient with the team as they have only recently opened and are still navigating training and cook times. My order came out super quickly when I was here but I know some others noted concerns about long wait times who had gotten there before me. I do think it depends what you order but as they get their footing I'm sure times will improve.

    Chole bhature and raj kachori -- SO DELICIOUS

    Bikanervala of Thousand Oaks is THE BEST! Same franchise as in India, UAE, etc. For people coming from India this is just like over there! Delicious fresh mithai, mattar kulcha was on point and... chole bhature to die for !! Everything is very fresh and delicious! Worth the drive from Simi, Ventura, or even Los Angeles! You will not regret it. Service was very friendly - a piece of home. And food came out quickly. Restaurant was modern, bright, and clean. I can't say enough good things about this place! I would reccomend to everyone!

    Disappointed. The chaat tasted stale and nothing was worth coming back for. Really wanted them to succeed.

    Nearly twelve years later, and Karma still has no equal…read more We visited the buffet recently and it was, as always, a genuinely lovely experience. The vegan options were plentiful -- and more importantly, they were exceptional. The flavors were bold and intentional, layered in a way that reminds you why you fell in love with Indian cuisine in the first place. I say this with fresh context: we've recently tried a couple of other Indian restaurants in the area, hoping to find something worth revisiting. One served a Dal so overspiced it was nearly inedible. Another offered a Tikka Masala so bland it barely registered. Neither experience was terrible -- but both served as a reminder of just how high Karma's bar actually is. In all my years coming here, I have never once been disappointed. Not once. The kitchen cooks with something that's hard to put into words -- a care and intentionality that comes through in every dish. You taste it. My 2014 review said the food was prepared with good heart and spirit, and that remains as true today as it was then. If you're vegan, or just someone who wants Indian food done right, this is your place. It always has been.

    We were back at Karma for Father's Day, and we just can't say enough good things about this place!…read moreThe staff is wonderful--so kind!!--and the Indian food is the best we've had in the area. Tonight we had one of our new favorites--chicken Reshmi. Highly recommend! Everything was great--naan, roti, bindi, tikka masala, lamb bhuna, and both tandoori trays. We already can't wait to go back again!! Perfect for a family dinner night out.

So many menu options sounded so enticing so it was a struggle deciding what to order! The ambiance was very bright and eclectic yet warm and cozy all at the same time. I managed to score a table despite the crowd, but there is ample seating available inside and outside, including a communal table and some counter seating by the windows. My food came out fairly quickly but didn't feel rushed. They make it easy to order additional menu items at the table so you don't have to hop back in line if you don't want to. The lavender latte was sweet and earthy and very well balanced. It was creamy and well frothed and the espresso tasted very fresh. I absolutely loved the French toast. The bread was crunchy on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside and was very sweet and flavorful. I really loved the fresh berries, real maple syrup and coconut whipped cream. Everything worked so well together and it was such a decadent and filling meal. I also felt great after eating it and was easy to digest. Parking is super easy in their giant lot with lots of other businesses. They are located at the center of the shopping plaza and are easy to locate! I wish I lived closer so I could come all the time but I will definitely return the next time I am in the area!

    VEGAN REVIEW Stayed…read morenearby for a work trip, came here both days for breakfast, picked up lunch & took some treats home! This is an amazing little vegan & mostly gluten free cafe. I LOVE brunch & that is hard as a vegan, I was so grateful that this place had options to satisfy both sweet & savory cravings. Good coffee & tea drinks. The salads are HUGE & so tasty. Small but mighty selection of vegan cheese, salami & other tasty vittles. Really good desserts & baked goods. Lovely space& friendly staff. Very eco-friendly, as well.
