Absolutely loved the new dishes on the menu: Pathar ka Ghost and Guava Chili Sorbet Chaat…read more Pathar ka Ghost was uniquely prepared on top of Himalayan Sea Salt slab. We were recommended to flip the meat so the saltiness is absorbed on both sides of the flattened lamb meat. This was my favorite for the night! Guava Chili Sorbet chaat was innovative blend of natural Guava sweetness and Indian green chili spices mixed with onions, tomatoes and peanuts. The presentation was fun. The service here was excellent similar to our past visit. The ambiance is ideal for a celebratory occasion.

It can get busy, depending on when you go, though I have never had to wait for a table, which is a plus. Tikka fish was delish, butter chicken, eggplant dish, nungu dessert, chili cauliflower.

I do believe that cutlery and plates make a big difference in the dining experience. They excel at it, despite it being a smaller restaurant. Seeraga samba chicken biryani was amazing, this is the ambur style biryani and the rice flavor and spices combo made it delicious. The chicken was fried. Great sides raita and salan as well. The dessert Thinnai stood out. It was Kesari made with foxtail millet. It is not your run of the mill kesari. I was pleasantly surprised with the taste. Must try.

Ridiculously flavorful, with some of the best naan I think I've ever had -- which is not usually…read morethe highlight of an Indian meal, and is certainly not a critique of the other fantastic items I enjoyed. But there was something about that bread. Mine had cheese and garlic, and while decadent on paper, it provided a great balance to the protein, veg and sauces I was exploring. High quality, friendly staff, a slightly odd-ball atmosphere, and a silly name. All of it is ever so slightly dinged by the fact that the food is surprisingly expensive for the quantity -- but on quality alone, I don't feel comfortable lodging a formal complaint. If I lived in town, I would be a regular.

The butter chicken was so creamy and had just the right amount of kick. The service was very polite and present, making sure we had everything we needed. The garlic naan was perfectly crispy without being burnt. The lamb was super tender and aromatic (on the lighter side if you are looking for that). The only downside was the parking lot was a bit small, but right next to the restaurant. It might be worth carpooling. Will definitely be coming back!

We've been mostly picking up the order ourselves and their packaging is always good. Their chaat is really delicious. Alu tikki chole chaat is the best. Dahi and chutney are really good too. However, since the last two times, their tandoori chicken has been raw from the bone-in part. The tandoori chicken looks absolutely perfect and charred from the outisde but has been raw in the middle. I let it go the first time it happened but I ordered again a few days ago and the same thing happened. I had ordered 2 chicken breasts and 2 legs. One of the chicken tandoori legs tasted and smelled stale. I like their garlic naans but curries not so much. Their Indo-chinese is good if you request it spicy. Their chicken tikka kebab roll is doughy and okay. Their imli and green chutney are both good. Their chicken samosas are very good too! I am a regular customer and would love for them to resolve this issue with their tandoori chicken. I would love to go back and dine in like old times.

The tandoori chicken is to die for! So tender, juicy, and I know people hate this word but it's also so moist that it is overall delicious. My mozzarella naan is scrumptious but unfortunately there's not a cheese pull. Which is a bummer... Also the butter chicken is so creamy well balance of spices that goes perfectly well with my naan. I also order it mild. Would I come back? ABSOLUTELY of course! A hole in the wall. I'm not exaggerating... personal experience. This restaurant is not hard to miss. It a green building right next to Tostadas. I did a quick pick up through DoorDash for myself. There is a promotion of buy one get one free. Worth it! Also very clean restaurant.

Standout dishes were the mustard (shorshe) Ilish and the jackfruit with shrimp. I also liked the shukto and aam chutney. Luchi and aloo sabji (not part of the thali) was also flavorful and light. I also tasted some of their veg chowmein and loved the smoky wok he taste. Service was attentive and my glass of water was kept filled at all times Ambiance was calming with the silent television and instrumental music with lovely bits of decorations such as the Bankura style terracota horses near the entrance. Parking was easy and cheap if you park in San Pedro square parking lot. I will certainly be back to try more items off their regular menu.

Unfortunately, a very disappointing experience. Imagine driving around downtown San Jose just to…read moresecure parking in the evening. Finally able to get to the restaurant the ambience was welcoming, but not the service. Literally walked in the restaurant and nobody even cared to greet you. I went up to the register to ask about how the order process works because it looks a bit confusing because it seemed like it is one of those restaurants where you come up in order at the register and have a seat while also has this ambience where you get seated and someone takes your order. I took a seat and someone gave me the menu. The person never came back didn't even provide me water so I figured to get up and just place the order at the register and I sat down. Long story short, 30 minutes later the food was nowhere to be found. Guess what I ordered? A simple tikka masala with garlic naan usually tikka masala are premade, and you just have to make the garlic naan. I went up to the register and talked to someone and asked them how long the food was going to take. At the same time, I also noticed some people canceling their orders by going to the register. I mentioned that if it was gonna take any longer, I would just get a refund and miraculously a few minutes later, my food finally arrived. The food was pretty good. I was surprised though that the tikka masala had some green peppers and onions on there, but I figured that might be a different style because I think this is a Bengal type of food. I asked the person that brought the food and she literally told me she does not know. Overall, the place look like it has good intentions, but the execution is not it. No customer service lack of knowledge about what they serve and just seem very disorganized. It also seemed like they prioritize the to go orders from the apps more than the people inside. The restaurant was half empty and it looks like they were struggling to even keep up with any of the orders so I will not go out of my way to come back to this restaurant, but if it was nearby and I was craving the food, I might give it another shot
