One of the best irani chai I ever had in my life. The combination of bun maska dipped in the chai takes me back to India. Rumali roti and chicken 65 is must try for evening snack. There is not much place to sit indoor and parking is very limited. Tip: try the chai in the night. The guy in the night shift mixes the milk and black tea with right amount. I stopped visiting during the day time after I tried the chai in the night. read more

Irani chai, bun muska and shahi tukda were spot on! The onion samosa was too spicy that we had tears from our eyes. Would like to come another time to try their rumali roti and chicken 65. Minus one star for the long lines and too much wait time for the food. read more

I would give a 5/5 to this place for the food. Service was a bit slow and the ambience can definitely be improved. I would give a 3/5 for both. But I really think it's the place with the best irani chai I had in bay area. The Lokhmi was amazing. My husband and I both loved those and we are definitely going back or at least ordering in from there. read more

Update: they are now open till 1 am on weekends! While this is amazing news, it sadly also means that next year's summer bod is now canceled. Jokes aside, truly thrilled with their new extended hours, and looking forward to lots more late night chai and tasty morsels here. read more

Big fan of their Irani chai but tried their dum biryani and wow it tasted truly like Hyderabadi biryani. The meat, dum, masala everything is great. We tried both goat and chicken and both tasted great, usually goat meat is chewy in a lot of Indian places but this restaurant nailed it. read more

Decided to try this new place (soft launched) on 3 different days to try different things. Very small place with around 6 tables. Looks like designed to be a takeout place with just one person taking order and serving. Most items are priced as small appetizers and the place is aptly named Morsels. You definitely need more than one item to be full. Bun Shami: this is a shami kabab patty in a burger. Pretty good but nothing spectacular. 4/5 Chicken shawarma with roomali roti: this is is a burrito wrap with roomali roti and chicken shawarma. Pretty good but not amazing. 4/5 Chicken 65 with roomali roti: this is exactly how it should be. Super spicy and tasty. Will come back to this restaurant for this only. 5/5 And possibly Irani tea which I didn't order. read more

The chai hits! Its a tiny spot that stays packed . I personally prefer the zaffrani chai, but if you want a more simple chai then go for the regular. The bay has so many Indian spots, but no Parsi style cafes so this is a real niche. Next time, I'll try the snacks which looked delicious. read more

I have been wanting to try Deccan Morsels for a really really long time! I loved the Irani Chai (for me personally since sugar was already added, felt a little more sugar) but having said that it was tooo good! And tried the bun maska and my god what a mild flavor. Totally worth the trip and the hype! read more

Why is this place always busy and lines are out the door you ask? Well if that doesn't tell you the quality of everything they serve I don't know what else will. Get the Irani chai and Bun Maska, if you can find a chair sit down, and forget the world for 3 mins. The rumali roti made me forget I was ever hungry. The busyness of the place gives the vibes of chai tapris back home. Through all the hustle and bustle the place is clean and ambiance is good. Everybody in the Bay Area is here. When are you coming? read more

My friends highly recommended this place so I went there to check it out. The first thing I noticed is that they don't run air conditioner, it was too hot inside without A/C. It was 94F when I went there and half of the seating were in direct sunlight. This really ruined the experience for me. The food, chai and morsels were good but the ambiance ruined the food for me. Too hot inside, like a green house, to be eating or drinking anything there. The service wasn't very good either, the tables were not clean, you have to tell the staff to clean your table, they won't keep it clean without your prompt. The parking was also very busy. Overall, not recommended for food experience, but I can see how it can be appealing in late evening to seat outside in the chair like desi corner. read more

We were returning from Folsom after a team event and my colleagues suggested we stop at Deccan morsels for their Zaafrani chai. Setup and menu is simple: lot of tea time snacks like samosas, fries with a few tables. Menu also includes items with bun and roomali roti like bus maska, bun malai and a few wraps revolving mostly around chicken 65, mutton and paneer. As the name indicates the food is from the Deccan plateau region in India. They have an open kitchen and I saw almost 10 people cooking. They seem to be popular and atleast when I went the line snaked outside the door of their tiny restaurant. My colleagues got tea and snacks for their kids to go. I picked bus maska and chicken 65 roll for take out. Consensus was that though the tea was pretty good, it still didn't live up to the one we get back in India. Getting the wrap for take out proved to be a mistake as the roll got soggy and the fries that came with it fell limp. I would suggest getting chicken 65 with roti on the side instead especially for take out. Having said that, the chicken 65 was very good, reminded me of the one we get in Hyderabad. I didn't care much for the fries, I had seen them dunking a frozen bag into the oil and later dusting them with some spice blend. read more

Finally got to come to Deccan morsels to try their irani chai and bun maska today. We got bun maska, bun cutlet, onion samosa, chicken 65 with romali(why would we not listen to yelpers). The irani chai was so good but tad too sweet for me who doesn't put any sugar in her tea. Onion samosas were fresh and crispy but the outer layer needs some more work. My friends loved the chicken 65 with rumali. Then came the bun cutlet. You bite into it and love the crispy cutlets outer layer and that's where the goodness ends. I can eat almost anything veggie but just couldn't eat this. The inner layer was mushy with no flavor. Better to skip this. Then came bun maska and it reminded me of my early days in Delhi with that bread butter and cheeni (sugar) on top. It had the right amount of butter with sugar and bun was great too. The place was too busy and packed at all times with lines stretching outside the door. Though they are so busy, they are really nice with the service. Ambience is good but the place is too small for such large crowds pouring in. They need to somehow rearrange their seating to not affect the incoming customers disturb the diners read more

we had a short stay in Bay area and wanted to get Chai Bun maska but instead ended up going at lunch time. Food was on point and authentic. We ordered Lukmi, Chicken 65 combo with Rumali Roti, Shawarma. Thank you for the great food. read more

This place is famous for its Irani chai and muska bun. Both are yummy. Irani chai is on milkier side, if you like your tea that way then you are in right place. There is malai bun as well. It is basically basundi/rabdi with paav. To me it was strange combination but taste of malai is really good. There are very limited options, particularly for vegetarians. When we went they were out of Samosa so only thing left for savory options was paneer 65 wrap. Now taste of paneer is good but wrap is so soggy since beginning that no one could eat it like wrap. Everyone just ate it with spoon ! This place is very small with hardly 4 tables. The restroom was closed so that was inconvenient. I wouldn't expect much on service and ambiance point of view. Overall fun place for evening tea time. Next time I would love try Zafarani chai !!! read more

I don't know how are people liking this filthy place run by guys who don't understand basic hygiene. The kitchen floor is littered with food all over the place. The sauces are kept under the counter without any refrigeration. The roomali roti used for shawarma and rolls is kept in casseroles and are served stale. If you see the chicken 65 being cooked, you'll never eat there again. Just food coloring, soy sauce and pre-fried colored chicken. The cashier guy also serves tea and was seen using his bare fingers to add pinch of saffron to add to your tea. This place is not for humans who care about what goes in their body!! read more

so delicious... got the chicken 65 roll & the irani chai. irani chai is very quick since they have it premade. it's very good, steaming hot so have to let it cool. chicken 65 roll was delicious, would 100% get again - chicken was full of great seasoning. it's very nice inside, though often very crowded whenever I go so no space to sit. very good even to-go though. read more

I was working in Fremont today and as i was driving to the freeway, I saw this restaurant with a line out the door. I decided to try it because it was so crowded.. it was amazing Indian food ! I ordered something called the chicken 365 and it was kind of like a burrito. It was filled with freshly made chicken and a few other things. It was wrapped in a thin bread, (thinner than naan bread) that tasted delicious. It was a very generous portion for the price. I also ordered some grilled chicken that they shaved right off as a side order . I saw that they are expanding so they will have a lot more space. I will definitely come back the next time I'm in Fremont. read more

One word for their chai "bakwaas". So so sweet and overly priced. Not for folks who like their chai lightly sweetened read more

Worst place worse service , people sneezing behind counter not even covering face , place is disgusting

Great chai! Some seating inside. It's a nuzzling place! People in and out constantly.

Bun Maska and Irani Chai still the go to. Sulaimani Chai is meh. Chicken 65 and Chicken Shawarma are good but inconsistent in taste. Mutton fry is good. Service can take time due to long waits. The expanded dining room is much nicer than before. read more

I ran across this place by accident, and decided to give it a try. It's a little bit more expensive than I'm used to, and with a limited selection, but the flavors are extraordinarily nice. I love their Irani chai and the lokhmi (sp?). Friendly, helpful staff despite being very busy when I arrived. If you don't mind loud and crowded, it's worth visiting whenever I get up to Fremont. read more

We ordered a takeaway from Deccan Morsels as it was too crowded to dine in. The place has a good vibe and looked like a regular restaurant. I love their Irani chai and Bun Maska. We wanted to try their Rumali Paneer 65 wrap and it was the best Rumali I have ever had. I have visited this place multiple times and chai and rumali wrap have become my staple there. I highly recommend this place if you're in and around bay area. Make sure to call and place the order for takeaway and if you're dining in kindly go early as it's first come first serve. read more

Uff ... wish this place was close to work or home. I would order everyday, it's like dream come true. I love Irani chai and was my fav and got to have the same here in the US. The place is packed but I got to order and have chai and bun maska right there while standing outside waiting for my rumali roti with chicken 56 and shawarma. It's a cute place and probably I could spend some time with my girlfriends but probably I might find a table to be seated during weekdays and definitely not during weekends. My new fav go-to place for chai and bun maska. read more

Irani chai is good but probably too sweet for me. Bun maska is heavenly. Chicken shawarma with roomali roti was good, made me crave for more. Seating is limited so you might find yourself in a huge queue and ending up doing a take away. Self service is the way. On weekends, there is a huge queue and with limited seating, you will end up doing a takeaway. read more

Best Rumali roti in the bay period. So far Ive tried their chicken 65, rumali roti, zafrani chai, irani chai, maska bun and malai bun. Everything tastes authentic and soo close to what Im ised to in hyderabad.

Chai & quality not good as it used to be! Bun maska wasn't fresh. Customer service is good.

Their saffron tea brings back good memories :) I don't think I've had tea this good anywhere else in the bay area. Their chicken wrap is also very good I usually get that with the tea. read more

They have the best irani chai in town - other chai places are desperately trying to imitate them! The only big downside is - it is very sweet with no options to control the sugar level. The place gets pretty crazy packed on weekends and they are not able to keep up with the cleaning. Otherwise - i like the shami bun and samosa and luki. With the expansion they have not kept up with the quality/flavor of the food unfortunately. Optional sugar in irani chai + frequent cleaning schedule will take them far! read more

"This review is for the Owner of the restaurant " I usually don't give reviews often but have to give this time . Food is good. Service is very very bad!!! First fire the Billing person(tall slim guy). You dont deserve to have staff who doesnt know how to speak to customers in the first place and be rude . My experience: -Ordered via phone - was told my order will be ready in 20 mins - reached store on 37th min sharp -after the call and was rudely told by the billing person that i have to be in time or my order will be canceled - the behavior (or) the way message of my order will be cancelled is delivered so so bad that I will never come to this place ever again !!!!!! No where in any other restaurants I had heard logic of order being cancelled if I don't pick them on time . ( specifically if late by 10-15mins) Infact, I had to wait for 5 more minutes after paying bill to get my order as my order was already given to someone else or never prepared in the first place . I will convey my bad experience with all my colleagues and friends to be aware of these kind of situations in this restaurant. I hope you will read it and make some improvements necessary!! read more

Every new item they add to the menu starts great, but then the taste starts diminishing Chicken 65 doesn't taste same as when they started now same is with biryani, the masala quality is compromised, and does not taste same as when they started it Owners are no where to see around business Request to Owners: Please keep the biryani authentic, do not compromise quality read more

Incredible food!! We are absolutely addicted to the bun Shami! The Irani chai s fantastic and one of the best Shawarmas in Bay Area! Great ambience and quick service. Absolutely love it! read more

If you want that fusion taste of home, Deccan Morsels is the restaurant for you. I brought my family here for a quick bite and it was amazing. We especially loved the chicken roll, onion samosa, egg noodles, and chicken noodles. Personally, the onion samosas were my favorite as the crispy crust complimented the soft onion and potato filling perfectly. However, I suggest asking them for mild spice if you prefer that as many of their options are quite "peppery"and well-seasoned. If you have a sweet tooth, then you should definitely try the shahi tukda. I would rate these a solid 10 out of 10. These have the adequate amount of sugar and just the right texture. Last but not least, the irani chai is out of this world. We keep going back mainly for the irani chai. If you ever decide to try this restaurant, I highly recommend getting this chai. Overall, this restaurant is best for fusion food lovers. This restaurant is usually quite crowded due to its high popularity, so I suggest getting a takeout option or  coming at less busy times if you don't want to wait in lines to order. Deccan Morsels is an excellent option for family and friends to meet up for a fun meal and get-together and I would definitely recommend this to you. read more

Have had irani chai in Mumbai growing up, was not so thrilled with the taste - but bun maska - they brought old memories. And dipping the bun in chai and devouring the combo - 10/10. Worth a visit for the experience. Service was good even though it was busy. Ambience looked decent but was super crowded, tough to get parking. Might go back to try the other menu items. read more

This place is so unique. Never had anything like it. This is coming from a self-declared foodie. This is Hyderbadi food. I had the bun shami, which is like a shami kabob burger, but really fine a subtle. Friend had the shawarma and said she's had nothing like it. Both Irani chai. I'm a chai lover so I found a new spot that makes it. Service is great. He heard us speaking about how I wanted to try the chicken 65, and brought out a sample. But I was already impressed when he greeted us all smiles and so sincere. Cute place too. read more

Okay Boba lovers - looking for a new drink? Try the Zafrani or Irani chai. It is unlike ANY of the chai you have tried at other Indian or Pakistani restaurants. These drinks are hands down the best thing in this place and their main specialty. Lokhmi- it's like beef in dough. The thing is the quantity of 2 isn't really competitive in pricing here compared to dumplings and others. These are made with handmade dough and also cooked in Ghee though. Not spicy. Chicken 65 and Romali Roti - the Chicken 65 will put you on FIRE. No really. I eat spicy but I can't eat this spicy. The roti has no salt so is to balance this out but I wish it was salted so my kids could at least eat something here. Overpriced for quantity and will not order again. It's missing sour taste so to me something is off in the recipe. Osmania biscuits are not handmade here but brought from India. Hence, they are always out. Suggestion to owners: make some cold desi sandwiches, they would go well with the hot tea! Interiors are so nice! Very date worthy! They did a complete makeover since this was the location for Gonutz. read more

I love the chai and maska bun; totally gives you the feel of a typical Hyderabadi breakfast similar to Cafe Niloufer (famous tea place). The malai bun is very tasty as well. The chicken 65 is their best item on the menu! If you're getting anything just try the chicken 65 with rumali roti it's the best. I love their chicken shawarma as well but I feel like it was a bit on the dry side when I ordered this time. However, they give you a side of ranch dressing and fries. Perfect combo. The wait time can be a while as the place is a little small, and the line can get very long. The seating area is limited, but very cute ambiance with light music and I love the chandeliers. read more
