However, I referenced photos from Yelp and Google Maps before coming and I was so excited to try the chicken biryani. I called in ahead and the entire process took 25 minutes. It was... uh... A bunch of lightly seasoned rice and some meat off the bone... I didn't check before I left the store, but I had a conversation with the cashier and she noticed I was buying something spicy. She warned me that the biryani wasn't spicy, to which I replied I knew. I don't know what was wrong with it that day or if it was supposed to be like this? Photos for reference.

The first staff member I encountered spoke no english, so I had to wait for another worker to eventually come out. He handed me my order which was just sitting there near the host stand. Got the classic butter chicken with basmati rice, and butter naan. The curry dish was made up of large chunks of chicken and was more sweet than spicy. Actually, there was almost zero spice. Taste was not bad though. And the naan was thick and cooked perfectly, and went well with the butter chicken. I was pleased with my meal.

The pizza was fresh, flavorful, and had the perfect crispy crust. We also got the buffalo wings and garlic knots. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and everything came out hot and delicious.

Will definitely be back.

We got three pizzas to get a general idea and all three had plenty of cheese and good coverage. So the pizzas were very filling, so it was a good price. Food we ordered: 1. chicken wings: FYI these are like fried chicken wings, not like buffalo wings. I didn't have any but hubby likes\d them. 2. cheese pizza: there's only a few plain cheese pizzas worthy of a 10 and this is one. The cheese had great pull and I loved the flavor. Crust was so good, and sauce makes or breaks it and this sauce is just so delicious. 3. Butter chicken, but we got ours plain...only got the butter chicken with sauce and the cheese: I think was the favorite thing for both of us. The flavor of the sauce was so incredible, and the chicken was super tender and tasty. The heat was very mild. Delicious pizza! 4. Alfredo pizza with no spinach: this was a 9 out of 10. It was so good, but because our favorites were the cheese and butter chicken, the fell to third but it was yummy! Future: my husband noticed Golden Butter Chicken Pasta and is excited to try that next. I think a lot of things sounds good and you can probably get anything and enjoy the meal. Atmosphere: Everything was clean. Real silverware and plates, which I really like because sometimes I use a fork and knife with pizza to slow myself down and not eat so much. Music volume was great, in the background without overwhelming our own conversation. Temperature was perfect. They also gave a pitcher of water. Friendly and welcoming: both guys were so nice and helpful.

We've only recently discovered Mehak of India and decided to order a variety of items for takeout. Their service is impeccable! Everything was packaged well, the portions are generous , and the price is very decent. We ordered Dal Makhni, Palak Paneer, Butter Chicken, Jeera Rice, Garlic Naan,Gobi Manchurian and since I've been on a street food kick lately, some Panipuri. Everything is hands down a 5/5. The butter chicken had a luxurious, creamy sauce , the dal was smooth and delicately spiced, I couldn't get enough of the palak paneer, it was so rich and thick, and I loved the unctuous bite of the cheese. The Gobi Manchurian was a huge hit, everybody said it tasted just like orange chicken. Delicious! My mom and fiancé have a low threshold for spice and had to mention the spice level was tame for them. It was enjoyable for the whole family so that is a major win in my book. The panipuri was a delight! A crunchy bite complimented by the mint water. I could eat seven in one sitting. They have a wide variety of menu offerings, I can't wait to go back to try other dishes!

At our last order they didn't honor our requests for non-spicy, and everything was quite spicy and…read moregave me heartburn, so unfortunately we won't be returning. All the dishes we've tried were vegetarian, and it's nice to have a decent Indian restaurant in the neighborhood. We recommend: Samosas--good, large, piping hot, a little spicy, good sauces (though there are a couple places in San Jose that make even better sauces) Malai kofta--good Mango lassi--delicious Plain Naan--ok-good Kaju Paneer Masala: good, kofta-like sauce, it took a little getting used to the salted cashews included in halves Mixed Vegetables: tasted better after the first day--good from second day onward, and very generous portions Karahi Paneer: good and generous portions Wouldn't get again: Navratam korma--didn't like the flavor of the sauce nor inclusion of potato Paneer do pyaza--ok Garlic naan--ok, Trader Joe's garlic naan is better Assorted vegetable pakoras--burnt on outside, mushy & bland on inside Paneer Tikka Masala--tasty sauce, though the flat paneer they used is tough and chewy in an unpleasant way, so we threw those out and used this kofta-like sauce over our own vegetables Baingan Bhartha (Spicy): we were warned by the menu, but this was very spicy and I prefer to cook or purchase my bengan bharta mild so I can appreciate the flavors

We always like supporting local businesses, especially when it comes to Indian food, and as usual,…read moremy wife is the one that finds these interesting new spots. Noura is one of the newer Indian restaurants in the Evergreen area, and we decided to give it a try. Overall, I thought it was a good meal with some room for improvement, and I'd rate it around 4 stars. Food (4 stars) + Butter chicken was the standout dish of the night. The flavor is a little different than most other Indian restaurants and has a unique taste that we really enjoyed. The sauce was rich and flavorful. (4.5 stars) * Palak paneer was very good. The curry was creamy, there was a generous amount of paneer, and it tasted freshly made. This was easily another one of our favorite dishes. (4 stars) + We ordered the house specialty, Noura Chicken Curry, because anything with the restaurant's name on it usually deserves a try. The flavor was good and I enjoyed it. (3.5-4 stars) + Kids chocolate dosa is a great dessert for the kids. It was the first dish that came out so next time we'll just ask for it to be made later. ~ The only issue with the Noura Chicken Curry was that the sauce was a little watery. My wife noticed it right away. It didn't bother me as much, but I can see why some people may prefer a thicker curry. - Even though we ordered the butter chicken mild for the kids, it still came out fairly spicy. We asked them to remake it, and while the second version looked a little different, it was still too spicy for one of my kids. Adults will probably enjoy it, but families with younger children may want to ask exactly how mild "mild" is. (3 stars) - One thing we underestimated was the rice portions. We ordered a couple of sides of basmati rice, and it still didn't feel like enough for two adults and two kids. Next time, we'll probably order at least three servings, maybe even four depending on how hungry everyone is. Service/Ambiance (3.5 stars) + The restaurant was clean, and the bathrooms were surprisingly nice. + We arrived around 9 PM on a weekend and were seated immediately, which is always a plus. - Service could use some improvement. The food took a while to come out, and it was difficult to get the staff's attention at times. I ended up getting a few things myself instead of waiting for someone to come by. Overall, I think Noura is a solid addition to the local Indian food scene. The food shows a lot of promise, especially the butter chicken and palak paneer, and I appreciate having another local Indian restaurant in the neighborhood. There are definitely a few things they can improve on, but I'd happily come back and try more of the menu, especially the naan next time around.

We ordered two dishes to share, and were going to order a side of rice, but the waiter let us know that the chicken tikka masala came with rice. Everything we had was good. We ordered stuff medium spicy, and that was probably the hottest tikka masala I ever had! It was delicious but I was glad they bring you a pitcher of water to the table when you sit down. We definitely will be back to check out other things, though my partner loved the baingan bharta, so I'm guessing that will be a repeat. It had a really complex flavor with some sweetness to it.

Jubba is serving up some of the best food i've ever had. As a newbie to somali food, I am now hooked. we came in on a friday around 6:15 and there was a steady group of people enjoying their food. we ordered at the counter and took a seat outside to enjoy the weather 1 Sambusa 1 chicken wrap 1 beef plate the sambusa arrived first and initially I thought Samosa in my head. But the sambusa has a better structure, holding its shape after multiple bites. the Dough is softer but still crispy. it came with beef , chilies and other vegetables. so so good. the perfect appetizer for us. it came with a spicy green sauce that seemed to be the common sauce for every dish then the stars of the show. The sizzling hot beef plate served with veggies, rice and a salad was unbelievable. add on a lemon and some more greens sauce and you're in for a treat. the rice alone was so flavorful and it tasted like there was meat drippings on top. the beef was so tender and fell apart in 1 bite. I was blown away with the dish the chicken wrap... man. I'm not sure what kind of bread, pita was used but it was fantastic. a huge wrap with lettuce, onion chicken, sauce and other veggies. It was so messy and hard to eat with your hands so we resorted to eating with a fork and knife. Unreal. Unreal. massive portions again which are a theme here. But holy smokes this was so good. The chicken has a nice char, but is also juicy and saucy. the spongy pita neutralizes the bombardment of flavor from the meat, and the veggies compliment everything with some crunch and texture. Service was great and very helpful. They were extremely friendly and a delight to talk with. We will be back 5/5

It's a nice cozy restaurant near the Chenoywyth VTA train station in San Jose on the train side. My brother and his friend have been going here for maybe twenty years. The food is tasty, the rice has a nice flavor, and the chicken has onions and other vegetables with some spices with which I wasn't able to identify. They offer a chai tea without milk, it was sweet and very flavorful. I also did takeout and ordered a goat dish with rice for my mom at home. She also enjoys eating this dish when she comes here with my brother. I would definitely come here again.
