    Bhel Thali
    Ben F.

    Chaat Bhavan was delicious! I ordered the Bhel Thali which came with an awesome array of various small dishes like paneer and other curries and things. There were also deserts included. The samosas were perfect. The service was a bit weird and two of three employees seemed to genuinely loathe their job, zero expression, mumbling quietly when asked about the order. A few seemed to not speak English so it didn't make sense why they were being told to take orders. The third guy was awesome though. The ambience was a bit bland and sterile but I loved the large sculptures of various Hindu gods. Next time I'm in the Bay I'll be sure to come back and hi-five Ganesh and order some more chaat.

    Amazingly flavorful vegetarian food at a very fair price. Unless you are familiar with your South Indian favorites, be prepared to be overwhelmed with the many delicious entrees and bread options. I opted for the Buel thali to cheat the abundance of choices, and you can't go wrong!

    Good food but some unusual service to note. I did find it odd I was discouraged from ordering a November special, server said it's not good lol. Appreciate the heads up but why offer something if it's not good . Appreciate the honest though I ordered a drink, appetizer and entree and assumed it would arrive on that order. Nope,it was opposite with my entree arriving first and drink last and I had to ask where my drink was.

    TLDR: Great spot for no frills vegetarian indian food; reliable taste, decent portion sizes but definitely rich/greasy. Came here back to back 2 nights in row - the first night we tried some of their seasonal specials and their bhel thaali. Their bhel thaali was great lot of options. I enjoyed the besan moringa chilla was great. The highlight for me is the chaat - I LOVED their pani puri. It's quite s spicy but so delicious!! Decent ambiance, and the service is quick.

    In the area for our dental appt, and wanted to try a new spot. Omgosh! The four of us (all vegetarians) have found our new favorite Mountain View restaurant! The restaurant is so pretty inside and so clean! Parking is easy, even on a busy Friday evening, we found parking easily. The restrooms are really clean and the service is really professional and water refills - they are really on it! Prices are very reasonable and the food is DELICIOUS!! we ordered a ton and can't wait to come back and order more things to try next time. Definitely recommend.

    My favorite Indian restaurant with so many delicious dishes to choose from. Bonus is that it's all vegetarian with a handful of vegan items. I believe this location is one of their newer openings. I'd say they're all consistently tasty but my favorites that I always get are the malai paneer, pani puri, and spicy Hakka noodles. Great place to go with a group so that you can try different dishes and the wait is short. I've been to many of their chains in various locations with no issue but not sure why this time we had a waitress who gave us a lot of attitude-- to the point my friend was too intimidated to order more food. It made our dining experience awkward whenever the waitress came back. Other than this one time, service tends to be decent.

    The food at this Chaat Bhavan location is great, and the ambience is a step up compared to their other spots. Dahi Batata Sev Puri and the Methi Chaman Paneer curry were delicious. Yuvraj provided excellent service and made us feel very welcome.

    Love this place! Never thought I would enjoy a vegetarian place this much! Every dish is always super worth it and always super yummy! The service staff is very attentive, the food comes out fast, and it's a very clean and nice environment!

I got their ja jang mien, and I really liked it--especially the thick, chewy noodles! My coworker got General Tso's, and we also got some veggie dumplings to share. The dumplings were a bit on the bland side, but otherwise good. Service was relatively quick. The interior is clean and well kept (I guess more than you'd think looking at the little strip it is part of), and the wait staff are friendly. The parking lot for the strip mall this is in is on the small side, though, and may be tough to find parking during the lunch rush if you don't arrive early (and I would highly suggest carpooling).

Unfortunately, the customer service left a lot to be desired. I arrived shortly after they opened, and there was no greeting or acknowledgment when I walked in, even though the restaurant was empty. When I approached the counter to pick up my order, I gave the name it was under. Instead of confirming the order or asking any questions, the first thing I heard from the cook was, "Get her card first." The cashier then immediately said, "Give me your card." Only after my payment was processed did they hand me my food and say, "Thank you." I completely understand that businesses need to protect themselves and ensure orders are paid for before they're released. That's not the issue. It's the way it was handled. As a customer, it felt like I was being treated as if I might take the food and run, rather than being welcomed into a local, family-owned business. A simple greeting, confirming the order, and then politely requesting payment would have made all the difference. Great customer service and protecting your business can absolutely go hand in hand. The food was outstanding, but the experience made me feel unwelcome. Sadly, because of the customer service, I don't see myself returning.

I am one of those people who thinks that just about every meal needs animal protein or it won't be satisfying. Well, Happy Flower proved me wrong because I came away with a very happy and full stomach and I did not even miss the meat! We ordered 8 different dishes to share family style, and I was especially pleased with the all seasons sampler and vegan fried rolls appetizers, as well as the pad Thai, salted fish fried rice, hainan chicken rice, tomato fish, and happy clay pot entrees. Each dish was quite large such that all 9 of us were able to try generous portions of each dish. And then we got two servings of the mango sticky rice to share and the mango was amazingly sweet! I did not try their boba drinks, but a few of my friends ordered drinks and enjoyed them. Their boba drinks are sized quite large as well. I will say, the meat doesn't necessarily taste like the meat it purports to imitate, but the textures for the fake chicken and fish are pretty spot on! Service was friendly and helpful and they delivered the dishes at a good pace. The inside isn't fancy, but it's clean and well lit and spacious. I wish I had known about this hidden gem sooner, but they had a good clip of takeout orders and families coming in for dinner. Parking is also plentiful and easy in their large attached lot. I will be back!

Crispy, and there is salt and black pepper in it, but overall it doesn't have much flavor outside of the sauce. Lemongrass fish lunch plate modified to have soy beef (you can switch out the protein): The broccoli itself itself was just steamed with no flavoring, so that was underwhelming. But the lemongrass beef is pretty good, firm and chewy not spicy. One of the others in my party got the eastern duck soup, which has a stronger soup flavor, you can taste the anise. It also has shiitake mushrooms. It came with veggie drumsticks, on an actual stick, but just takes like soy protein, doesn't really taste like duck. I tried a bit of Cali pho too, which was mild but pleasant, it has a ton of vegetables. Overall I'd give it more of a 3.5/5, there were certainly some items that could've used better seasoning/flavoring, but I do appreciate the amount of options that are suitable for vegetarians and actually being able to enjoy noodle soups that would usually have been meat-based. They do have outdoor tables and at the time when I had gone, no one else was sitting outside.

The soups are relatively flavourful for vegan broths. The curry fried rice is delicious as well. I also appreciate the variety of drink options made with vegan milk substitutes. The service is pretty fast considering how busy it gets. Some of the workers can't speak much English, but it hasn't been an issue. Southeast Asian food can be very meat-heavy, so places like this are great. If your vegetarian friend is ever craving Thai or Vietnamese food, bring them here!

I am not the kind of mom who eats kids leftovers all the time. So I wanted my own dosa. For drinks, I did a medium strong filter coffee ( they make it to your customization and I was surprised to see they even had jaggery). My 9 year old took a mango lassi. Food was incredibly satisfying. Servers are very attentive and they came three times to our table offering more chutney and sambhar. We already had enough but if you like more sambhar and chutney with your food, this is heaven. One server even came with ghee for my little ones for idlis. I was so grateful. He was genuinely sweet to my kid. Felt a connection than just a business! Ambiance is classy and relaxed at the same time. Nobody gave me the side eye when my three year old was a little noisy. Have a corner for takeout containers for leftover food, very generous. I would highly recommend this place for its delicious food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. Prices are reasonable. They have happy hour daily from 3-6 pm and when we went at 5.30, the restaurant was more than 70% full on a Thursday. Eat early and save money too. We really had a very good time!

I don't know how they do it. very delicious! if you even kind of like tamales order one of these off the appetizer menu it's a go-to. I got the chicken one and I put a little green salsa on it and it's heaven show. then I got the pachucho, one pavel and one steak. it's the second paville I've had on my trip here and what made this one. fantastic is the base of this is what pabile needs and they hit everything right with the case of fresco the onions. it could have used a few more onions, but every bite was like heaven. The steak was delish, very tender but I'm going to go back to the pibil every time. the base of these panchcos is kind of new to me.

Some of our absolute favorites include: Millet Dosa: Perfectly crisp and a great healthy alternative. Mini Idli Podi: Bite-sized bursts of flavor with the perfect spice blend.
