We've had nothing but love for this place. Tonight we ordered takeout from there on Uber Eats…read more On there, we saw a special being offered at Nepa, "spend $30, get Somosa for free." We spent over $30 and clicked to have the free samosa added. After order was processed, we viewed receipt & saw the free samosas wasn't there. So called the restaurant to ask about it. Was eventually told that they weren't honoring that offer. It changed our opinion. There is no way we would have been be told that when they first opened. Food still good but service has taken a dive.

Copra is an absolute masterclass in coastal South Indian cuisine that completely recalibrates your palate. The Fillmore space itself is gorgeous--dripping with lush greenery and high-end tropical energy--but the absolute culinary obsession happening on the plates is the real story. We ran through a massive spread, and honestly, the flavor profiles are loud, complex, and unapologetically bold. The Standout Drinks -Jaggery Sour It hits that perfect balance of sweet and tart, with the jaggery giving it a deep, complex molasses-like richness that pairs beautifully with the spice of the food. -Salty City: refreshing and addicting Food hits -Mysore Masala Dosa: My personal favorite of the night. The dosa itself has that elite, perfect crisp-to-chew ratio. Pair it with the tomato and coconut chutneys, a heavy dusting of podi, and that rich onion sambar, and it's pure perfection. -Thayir Vadai Chaat: A total texture bomb and another personal highlight. It's got this incredible contrast between the cool yogurt, sweet date chutney, and the crunch of the Madras mixture and cashews. -Varuval Sea Bass Collar: Absolutely phenomenal. The fish was cooked to absolute perfection under that heavily spiced varuval crust. The karavelli curry it sits in is incredibly rich, and pairing it with the clean, bright snowpea poriyal and basmati rice made it an elite main course. We also dug into the Shrimp Vennai Roast (smothered in a brown butter chili chutney that is pure crack) and the Slow-Cooked Octopus with that sharp jaffna rub and grapefruit. Dessert -Jigarthanda: You must save room for this. The frozen caramel milk bar combined with milk jam, nannari, and the crunch of candied cashews is elite-level dessert engineering. It's sweet, cooling, and the perfect antidote to the spice of the meal. Last but not least, you must try their filtered Indian coffee. It delivers a strong nutty subtle sweet flavor. Service is sharp, fast-paced, and genuinely passionate about the menu. It's vibrant, energetic, and entirely worth every bit of the hype. A shout out to Ser taking care of our group of 6. She helped us make decisions for orders as we were divided in what we want. Lol

I was looking for a place that serves Dhido and found this spot--haha!…read more There happened to be an event going on, so parking was a bit of a struggle, but we managed to get in a little after noon. The inside was bright and not too crowded. The menu had some unique options like goat curry, which was interesting. The thali is great if you want to try a variety of sides! I asked for it spicy, so the mango lassi was perfect to cool things down lol. If you're looking to try something a little different, this is definitely a great spot to check out!!

I stopped by Jalebi street this weekend after hearing serval reviews about it and I am honestly…read moreglad I finally gave it a try. We started with Dal kachori chaat and from the first bite I knew we were in for a good meal. The kachori was crispy, filling was fresh and chat had perfect balance of tangy, spicy and slightly sweet flavors that instantly brought back memories of street vendors back home. Next, we ordered kadai paneer, rice, paratha and Jalebi. The highlight for me was jalebi. It came out hot and fresh, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Overall, Jalebi street delivered the kind of authentic street food experience I have been looking for in the Bay Area.

For food we got the following: -Dahi Sev Puri - this was my favorite dish, really fun to eat and great flavors. -Chole Bhature - this was also great! The puffy bread was sooo delicious and the chickpeas were perfectly seasoned and delicious. -Bhel Puri - this dish was unique and was a good size portion, but not as flavorful as the other two dishes. It felt like eating a savory rice crispy cereal, but not in a bad way :P -Garlic Naan - pretty decent but nothing special -Jalebi - I was really excited to try this dessert. I looooved the texture (crunchy outside, with a gooey inside) but the actual flavor was not my favorite. To me, it tasted very similar to chlorinated water, and it was hard to get past that.. There was a different jalebi with a dipping sauce, and I wonder if that would have been better. They were out of it when we went, but I would try it again with that. Overall a really great restaurant, and definitely a place to try out if you're wanting a more unique Indian dining experience!

I have been walking by this restaurant a lot and finally walked in for lunch today:)…read more Food - They had buffet but I went with the food on menus:) I had Punjabi fish curry, garlic naan, and Punjabi chai:) Curry was hot ( temperature ) and delicious!! I ordered food with medium spiciness. It was pretty spicy but I really liked it:) The people sat next to my table was having something sizzling ( maybe tandoori chickens?) looking delicious! Next time I may try that!! Service - I walked in without reservation but got seated right away. Food came pretty fast:) Ambiance - very spacious!! And nice decoration on the wall. I will go back there again:)

Visited Apna Chulha to try out the lunch buffet and it was a good experience. The restaurant was…read morefairly empty when we arrived, but by the time we left, it was busier and had a number of occupied tables. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating and a separate bar area. The lunch buffet is $19.99 before tax & tip and seemed to be a pretty fair price. Now for the lunch buffet, there was a good variety of both meat and veggie curries along with basmati rice and a few appetizers (pakoras, etc). I enjoyed the tandoori chicken, butter chicken, dal and a veggie curry with spiced potatoes and peas. The dal had a nice flavor and a little kick and was a bit spicy, but paired well with the rice. The staff also brought over fresh naan, which was pretty good. The pakoras weren't too good, a little too salty, but the chutney helped. Customer service was friendly and attentive, with staff checking in occasionally on if we needed anything or wanted a refill of naan. I will say I assumed the chai was included with the buffet, and totally missed the signage that it was an extra cost. So, it was a slight surprise when we got the check. Otherwise, it was a pleasant dining experience and I was glad to find a Indian restaurant with a lunch buffet available on a Sunday, as most places only offer a lunch buffet during the workweek (Monday to Friday). Recommend trying out Apna Chulha if you're in the area.

The lamb was large pieces in a mix of basmati rice, herbs, spices and perfectly tender. The heat from this dish alone didn't require much. Samosas were serviceable and could stand more crispiness. The garbanzos were flavorful and tender. I'm

Tried the balti chicken this time and it was just ok.

However, their food is always delicious and packed with meat! The lamb biryani is easily shareable between 3-4 hungry adults. Can't wait to return back!

This was my first time having dosa, and I loved it! Not sure how much this is a review for Upudi…read morePalace as much as it is for dosa... but Udupi made my first dosa, so they deserve some credit! Idly ($8): I love idly. So glad to have a place in the city serving idly. That is all. Medu Vada ($8): I think this was also my first time trying vada! It was good, but not as good as idly. It was fried but not oily, which is always a win. But it was drier and denser than I hoped for. Not overly so, but I think I just wanted it to be like fried idly but in a donut shape. In that case, I should have just ordered fried idly and let go of the shape. That's on me! Podi Masala Dosa (~$15): Super yummy. I loved the crisp and chew of the dosa. Potatoes are always amazing. And the podi added a wonderful flavor. The portion was great, and I was definitely full. Service was prompt and friendly. I would definitely come back. It's a cute spot with dosa and idly, so what's not to like?
