    Brein bartender is awesome! He hooked it up on thanksgiving night. I was there for a co-workers party. He had rented the largest section of the restaurant which had a stage, dance floor and many tables. It's not a full bar but they had some whisky and vodka. Love open bar's I don't need a whole selection but I was happy with anything vodka. The only thing i've tried here was their chicken tikka masala with naan, hands down the best i've tried so far. I actually recommended this dish for our christmas party for work and it was a hit. Everyone loved it. My review goes to just that one dish. That means i'll be going back to try out more from their menu. This restaurant has a few sections that you can rent out for parties which I find really interesting and cool. Parking is plentiful.

    The amount of times I called the place...

    I am so disappointed.. I hope the owners read this review and take serious measures for their staff and provides them with proper customer service skills. This was our first time going out after covid had it and let me tell you what a big mistake it was to go to chandani. First of all I called Chandani today to see if I could make a reservation and every time I called a guy would pick up not saying anything. As a person who understands and speaks Urdu/Hindi I could hear him having a conversation with someone else about a doctor and how that doctors so good and how he will pass on the contact info.. I mean seriously ??? How much more unprofessional can you get? He was completely ignoring the fact that there's a customer on the other line waiting for him. Anyways, after he realizes he got so many phone calls he called me himself saying "You called Chandani" in a very careless and once again unprofessional tone. I Literally called this place 6 times with two of them being cancelled because I kept calling and they would not pick up. Furthermore, after speaking with him and clearly letting him know that we were coming for iftar (breaking our fast) I see our food packed in Togo boxes and take the Togo boxes to the tables. He starts telling me " There's no service you have to do everything yourself". Keep in mind we are the only customers who are dining in from 7:50pm till almost 8:30pm. I asked him if he had water and any dates considering this is a Muslim restaurant and are fully aware that this is the month of Ramadan. For those who don't know what Ramadan is, Muslims who practice Ramadan do not eat or drink anything from sunrise to sunset. When you break your fast you must break it with water or dates. When I asked him if he had any of those two items he starts to yell at me saying "YOU HAVE TO PAY YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING " . When did I say I was not going to pay? At this point I knew it was such a big mistake to choose chandani to bring my guests and family to. My guest wanted to order some more items however, the attitude this individual placed scared and made our guests extremely uncomfortable. Oh let me not forget to mention when we would ask him for coke or more bread he would shake his head from side to side and say , " I TOLD YOU THERES NO SERVICE NO SERVICE"... I spent $128 on food that wasn't even properly cooked and on top of that got treated like total crap! I have been to this restaurant when the owner himself is there and he is an extremely nice guy. It seems like these workers need to be micromanaged and take advantage of management not being around. The restaurant really needs to upgrade themselves. They don't give paper menus, nor have a code where you can scan and view items through your phone, heck if you go onto their website they have a Ramadan Buffet which does not even exist. When I spoke with him about that over the phone he said it's from 1-2 years ago. Overall we left the restaurant still hungry and decided to go to a near by restaurant called Fremont Kabob House. Let me tell you the covid measure, service and food were a world of a difference compared to Chandani! Chandani need to raise the bar for themselves and set higher standards.

    Coming in and surprised I forgot to grab some photos while I was there! This is the hidden gem…read morehotpot place of Newark and i'm glad I had the chance to try it. It's in a small plaza with two other buildings but there is plenty of space for parking. It wasn't too busy there when I went so parking and seating were very easygoing. The staff is extremely friendly and are pretty attentive when it comes to meat refills and checking in. The meat selections are limited to beef, chicken, and lamb. They do offer other meats such as some seafood and meatballs at the toppings bar though. I really liked the ingredient variety, some things I don't think you'd find at most hotpot places. Personally the thick cut potato noodles are a favorite for me!! They also have churned ice cream and refillable pineapple & peach juice. I believe they usually have milk tea as well, but it was Out of Order when I came in. Would love to try it out next time though hopefully! I think there were a few minor fixes for maintenance but overall pretty satisfied from the experience! I would love to revisit again in the future, very budget friendly AYCE hotpot in the bay area. You really can't find weekend lunch prices anywhere these days, most places charge dinner pricing all weekend. The pricing is very generous, the food variety is great, and the staff are all so friendly and inviting. Also LOVE having individual hot pots, makes your hotpot feel more personal and you don't have to worry about sharing :) Great place to come by with loved ones especially if you want to skip the wait most hotpot places come with and have a quick and easy meal.

    This is without a doubt one of my top 2 hotspot locations in the bay and I've gone to at least 10…read morein this area. For all you can eat it is honestly the best of all the options in my opinion. Cleanliness 11/10: The cleanliness of this place is unmatched by any AYCE restaurant I've eaten at. I had to include a picture of the sauce bar because it is really surprising how there is no splattering around the table. Every surface including the sauce bar and other bars were pristine. AYCE options 10/10: The meat choices are beef, lamb, and chicken. The cuts are a bit lean, but honestly I like that better for ayce since it is a bit cleaner tasting and leaves less oil in the broth. They serve the meats in neat labeled trays which I really like. Wide range of vegetable and other hotpot options that are all ayce, notably king oyster mushroom slices, wood ear mushroom, white fish, beancurd skins, large leaf spinach, bomchoy, a variety of noodles. They also have soft serve ice cream and other deserts and fruit. Sauce bar has a good variety. It has all the options you might find at a place like haidilao. The soy and vinegar are on a separate table in drink dispensers, you might miss it. I recommend for people who are not experienced with hot pot to do a 3:1 ratio of soy sauce and vinegar with a squeeze of lemon as well as some chili, cilantro, green onion, and garlic. The sesame dressing is great on its own with vegetables. Broth 9/10: I recommend spicy or mushroom broth. It is similar to what you would get at a place like haidilao but much less oily, it is still quite spicy and a good amount of oil.

Our favorite was the lobster/filet mignon combo dinner and the XO roll. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked and tender. I enjoyed the lobster being cut into pieces rather than the giant meat in the tail. The XO was the chef's recommendation and was honestly one of the best seared salmon sushi we had. Would come back again!

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is tranquil, clean, and modern. The staff were extremely friendly and since it's not a large restaurant, it felt like they were very attentive. I noticed this restaurant offers a small room for those who need to pray. It's also a halal restaurant so you'll notice this on the menu since they do not offer alcohol or pork items. One of my favorite discoveries of this restaurant is the chicken teriyaki roll. I feel like more restaurants need to offer this! I loved it! Their hibachi is flavorful and meat is tender. You get the same great flavor of a typical hibachi without having the awkwardness of a chef cooking in front of you or wreaking of food smell on your clothes when you go home. This environment is like a typical restaurant where the food comes from a kitchen in the back so it completely eliminates that. Large groups beware - This restaurant is small so and we witnessed a table of 8-10 get separated since they could not seat them together. I'm sure a reservation ahead of time would have helped this situation. Food is really great quality though and we will definitely be back!

    My group recently had a wonderful dinner at Burma Bay Cafe!…read more We arrived around around 7 PM on a Sunday evening and they were slammed with several large parties. The staff were SO nice and offered to set up a table for us in their back room. They were so kind and accomodating, which we were grateful for because we were starving and the food looked delicious! We ordered a tea leaf salad, Burmese shrimp and beef, and the Nan Gyi Thoke noodles. The food arrived soon after ordering and we were treated to a proper Burmese feast! I loved the crunchy textures of the tea leaf salad, and the shrimp and beef were deliciously spicy. The noodles were also great - the boiled egg was cooked perfectly. The portion size was generous - this was plenty of food for four people! Most imporantly, service was outstanding! Thank you for making our group feel welcomed on an insanely busy evening. :)

    Came to Burma Bay Cafe for dinner with friends and had a great meal!…read more Located off Warm Spring Blvd, Burma Bay Cafe took over the old Ho Chow building. The inside has tons of seating available and bright natural lighting. We came on a weeknight during their happy hour (!!), which is 20% off appetizers every week night between 3-6pm. Our party of three ordered mainly apps, and only deviated off that section to try their tea leaf salad :P Fried tofu - crisp and light Coconut chicken with palatha - sweeter curry, loved the flakiness and thicc-ness of the paratha Lamb curry with palatha - hearty curry sauce Salt and pepper chicken - dino nugget-esque with a nice crunch and perfect seasoning and didn't actually need the dipping sauce it comes with. Note: the dipping sauce does contain fish Chicken lettuce cups - fine taste, no notes Veg samosas - fine also, basic Tea leaf salad - ordered for the health and textural crunch. So delicious Service was good. Our waitress was very informative in each dish and also quite attentive with refiling waters. Overall, great meal and would love to return to try their mains.
