    Thali
    Bindi S.

    Had an average experience here. I got a thali to go which comes with 2 veggies, I chose the paratha, kadhi, rice, raita, 2 desserts and a drink. Well they forgot to give us the drink and one of the desserts. Moreover, we had requested paneer for the veg and we got chhole instead. So we had chhole, dal making and kadhi. No veg. That was disappointing. I'd rather eat in at their full service restaurant and get what I paid for.

    Sev puri- came with 7 puri for $8. Really tasty but hard to share. Came with a group of 4 and I unfortunately only got 1 so it wasn't worth it for me. If it came with 8, I would've been fine. With it if you're with less than 4 people Hyderabadi bagara baigan - this had 4 small eggplants and the sauce was delicious. I would get this again. Methi paratha - good but I could skip it. Overnight dal makhni with warqi paratha- this would good but could skip it because it was more like a soup. Garlic naan- got 2 orders and it was well made, crispy and chewy and not too thick packed with garlic. I'd get it again. Chana bhatura- this was tasty and loved the puff bread with it. Wouldn't mind getting this again. No pic of this since this was a later order. We were still hungry. Masala paneer frankie- really tasty wrap. I'd get this again. No pic of this also since this was a later order as well. Overall the Hyderabadi bagara baigan and masala paneer frankie were my favorites.

    Garlic naans- decent

    Full chaat bhavan regular menu but in a smaller setting. I enjoy chaat bhavan food and never had issues with their regular restaurant menu. I tried their food at Fremont, Sunnyvale and Mountain View. Catering was a mixed experience though. Coming to this location, I was disappointed for the first time with their food. I got the bhel thali and quality of the curries was subpar. The paneer curry was literally water with a few sorry looking pieces of paneer and peas floating in it. The carrot halwa had enough sweetness to knock a person senseless and had a weird taste. Though the bhel was decent, it had a lot of nylon sev. We also got saag paneer and some naans and they didn't disappoint.

    From the outside, this looks like a well run, competent take out place and yes, many people were ordering take out with smiles on their faces, but my boyfriend and I decided to stay and eat in before heading back to SF. The presentation? Superb. The ambiance? Warm. Clean. The service (run by one impeccable professional) was excellent. The food? To the heavens! We were working with a dietary restriction here of no grains and to our delight, there were so many options even with a vegetarian menu. Everything we had was fresh, flavorful, the right amount of spice. We had a feast but didn't leave feeling groggy or weighed down. The saddest part? We couldn't fit in dessert but we did leave with some more takeout for our meals tomorrow. Definitely a place we'll return to.

    Good food. Quick service. Ordered chaat items - sev puri, dahi papdi, Chinese bhel, chole bhatura. Most items were good in terms of taste and presentation. My only personal preference would have been to have the sev puri much less sweet for Indian palette. I've always known Chinese bhel to be served a little cool, but this was warm. Tea was ok. Ambiance is also good. Navjot Singh was a good and pleasant host. Thanks.

    Paneer pakora

    I ordered samosa,. Paneer pakora,mixed veg manchurian. Not tasty like before paneer pakora is very rough and dry, hard to chew manchurian is very sour (its good and tasty when i ordered a month before ) samosa smells bad overall i disappointed this time mint chutney also sour taste

    I'm not too sure what's "Express" about this place... The menu has plenty of items, it looked like a full size menu to us...almost a bit overwhelming if you ask me. Maybe it's the size of the venue? It was on the smaller side, not a whole lot of seating inside. Perhaps this venue is smaller than their other location. There were a lot of orders being picked up. No complaints: Tasty food, good service, clean and bright on the inside. The place was packed with Indian folks, so we knew the food was going to be good. #DesiEats ~ Aloo Methi Thali - 4.5/5 The Thali is a brilliant value. So much food on the plate. The potatoes were perfectly cooked with a ton of flavor without being greasy or soggy. ~ Bombay Pav Bhaji - 4/5 I didn't know there was an Indian dish that was eaten with a Bun. Very interesting... Mixed vegetables in Masala. Nice kick to it, without being overly spicy. ~ Rajouri Garden Chana Bhatura - 4/5 Very tasty Chickpea curry dish with Paratha. Not too spicy either. ~ Paneer Paratha - 4/5 Tasty paratha with a side of Onions, Lime Pickle and some sort of sauce. I need to come back several times to try more dishes on the menu!

They said they were able to deliver on a certain amount of orders. I saw here and was quick to response. I had a family dinner of 20 ppl and gave Co Hoang a try. We did everything through text. The day of which is Saturday, 12/20/25, I was to pick up the food at 5pm. You have to text the 15 minutes before meeting them up at a parking lot. Texted and met up with them, food was still piping hot. The whole process was very smooth. What I ordered: * Small Soúp Măng Cua/Bong Bóng Cá Asparagus Crab Meat soup - $120 * Small Gỏi Sứa Tôm Thịt Ngó Sen- $50 * Small Mì Xào / Chow Mein - $50 * Chả Giò / Egg Rolls- $1.50 each * Small Bò Mông Cổ / Mongolian Beef- $60 for 3 lbs of meat * Small Cơm Chiên Cá Măn / Salted Fish Fried Rice - $55 REVIEW FOOD- Overall the food was delicious and not overly salty, so it's great for the older people's taste. Family approved and said it was good. *Soup had so much crabs, asparagus that they definitely didn't gypped you- was good *chow mein had shrimp, scallops and vegetables was good *Mongolian beef- soft and flavorful *salted fish fried rice- good but wish it be a little more flavor *VN salad- this was good! Love that it had celery, cucumbers, strips of mangoes. *egg rolls- meat fillings was good and still crunchy by layer in evening I would definitely order through them for my son's wedding next year or any other party events that I would have. So glad I found them! Service and communication is superb.

What stood out most were all the thoughtful personal touches. They made an exception to host all four of us for the tasting (when normally they just allow 2) and even prepared a special yuzu salmon for us as those were our favorites. You can really tell how much care and creativity Raphael, Mike, Michi, and the whole family put into what they do. We ultimately went with another caterer that was a closer fit for the specific dinner experience we had in mind, but we came away extremely impressed with Michi's Life and were treated like family. Would absolutely recommend them and would happily consider them for another event in the future!

Yes, they were expensive, but they do ALOT and provide alot and during+after the wedding, we had so many people telling us it was the absolute best food they have ever eaten at a wedding. - They helped coordinate linens and rentals and helped us when we wanted to do a second meeting to confirm our selections. - They gracefully answered questions throughout when finalizing our menu, and the 2nd tasting was just as delicious as the first. Their service and warmth did not diminish one bit after we signed. - During the wedding day, mr Michi himself handed us a handroll right after the ceremony, and that honestly was one of the moments I remember vividly. - The late night snacks were much appreciated by people, and after dancing, people appreciated the extra fuel. - They even helped clean up afterwards! Even for things that werent part of dinner. Honeslty made our wedding the event of a lifetime and it wouldn't have been the same without the amazing Michi family catering us.

They answered all my questions and were very patient. They were able to adjust and customize to suit my needs and were easy to work with. I chose a meat, a seafood, and a vegetarian for my entrees but I'd never worked with them so I was unsure of their quality. I asked if I could do a tasting and they were more than happy to accommodate. They allowed me to pick a couple entrees and some sides to try out and I picked it up and brought it home to test. After all that, they kept in close communication to discuss my needs for things like rentals of chafing dishes, tables, etc. On the day of the event, they arrived 90 mins prior and set everything up. Since it was a "drop off" catering, they had everything sealed with plastic wrap, lit all the sternos, then left it for us to unwrap when ready. We chose the chicken teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, and the eggplant green curry (vegetarian and G/F). I was worried about the salmon since it tends to overcook, but i was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Not overcooked at all and super tasty! We also ordered sushi and other sides. None of it disappointed!!! After the event, they came and picked up everything. Really great tea to work with. Will definitely work with them again in the future.
