    Bonda

    Here we ordered bonda, it is too much salt and it is not cooked inside. Food is not at all good here.

    Free tea, coffee and beer.

    Saw the Sunday buffet menu and my palate was stimulated, so we went. There was no one, except for me and my company when we arrived but crowd slowly came in. They had a lot of selection for even non-meat eaters, although I was eyeing the lamb keema biryani, goat curry and natukodi curry. I found the goat curry a little salty, but my company said natukodi was the salty one. Other than that, the food was okay. I liked their onion pakora. They also had dessert on their buffet, and my favorite is the fruit custard. I did go back a few times for their mango lassi and tea. The staff were all nice. They do serve bottled water as part of the buffet.

    We went in a large group of 15 ppl on Saturday evening around 7 15. Was surprised to see no one there except us We ordered some vegetarian and some non vegetarian dishes. Everyone was very excited about punugulu and we ordered 5 plates which was a lot and salt was a bit less. Baby corn manchurian was pretty decent. Chicken ghee roast was mind blowing. Chicken 65 was decent. Paneer gravy and Malabar roti was really yummy too. Both veg and chicken biryani were good.

    My friends and I went to GumaGumalu after calling two other South Indian restaurants for idli and dosa (yes!! you would think that these are available however, both the places we called did not have this for an evening). We were pleasantly surprised with the service, the table hosts were very polite and nice, and they clarified every question we had about the menu. We ordered an Idli-vada- masala dosa combo (it came with peanut chutney, sweet green ginger chutney, and we requested for the masala to be placed on the side). It did not come with sambar. We also ordered a puri Choley combo - choley was really good!!! And lastly, we ordered Ragi Sankati with eggplant korma (the korma gravy has peanuts). For beverages, we ordered mango lassi and coffee (I asked for a strong coffee with less milk). The food was good, tasty. I made a tiny suggestion to the table host about the choice of chutney and she was very receptive with a smile, she appreciated feedback, and agreed that peanut allergies is something to be mindful about - more points earned right there for customer service!!! :)) The decor is functional, it's a clean place, and eating utensils are good and clean, service staff wear hairnets. Definitely give this place a try. P.S: they sell a variety of tasty pickles and snacks - we walked away with two tasty yummy pickles!

    GumaGumalu is a South Indian restaurant that serves Raagi Sankati during the week in Fremont, CA. The menu is diverse, the food is flavorful, the prices are reasonable and the service is good. The place has a casual and comfortable ambiance which is great for a big group or family outing. The onion dosa was a good size and was served with 3 authentic chutneys but the onion was raw - I'd rate it a 7/10. The Andhra Chicken curry was flavorful but a bit salty which was the case for the raagi sankati as well. I'd rate both an 8.5/10. The nutella dosa wasn't really sweet but it wasn't really savory - it was unique but didn't taste great. I'd rate it a 5/10. There's also homemade sweets packed for a la carte purchase. Overall, this restaurant is clean and a good comfort Indian food spot. I'd go back again to try other things on the menu!

    Went for buffet in weekend and the food was just awesome! Although there were extensive non-veg options, this review is about vegetarian options. 4 appetizers, 3 Veggie Curries, Rotis, 3 desserts, 3 rice options, raita, and yogurt with pappadum. We ordered their newly introduced Garlic Naan too, and it was amazing. All the vegetarian options were tasty. Samosa Chaat, Cabbage Pakoda, Aloo Bonda (reminds me of vada), Crispy Babycorn. Baigan Veggie, Vegetable Korma, Gongura Daal. Jackfruit rice, mint rice, and plain rice. Gulab Jamun, Custurd, and Laddu. Good ambiance and constant refilling items with server checking for used dishes on the table. Overall, I have a very good experience. I would recommend visiting the weekend buffet with family and friends.

    We came here for breakfast as we were passing through Fremont and I love the Niles area…read more The drinks we were got were good but a little too sweet for me. My boyfriend got the fried chicken steak plate and it was good and a really big portion. I got the spicy chicken melt and it was really good and tasty plus really big portion. We also shared the beignets that come in different flavors and they were fluffy and really good. Altogether a solid breakfast spot.

    It doesn't hurt to smile!…read more Firstly, I'm happy to say that the food and portions are amazing over here. If you want to eat at a place that has good quality and a big enough portion to either share or take home for leftovers then this is the place to go. There were some notable things that we stumbled across in our dining experience. I had noticed that one of the utensils wasn't washed properly so there was a dried up piece of vegetable or something stuck on it. Also I requested my burger to be cooked medium but when I received my order, it was more so well done with no pink in the middle. One of the two pork chop was cooked great, while the other was a little dry and chewy. Regardless, these were things that didn't warrant calling over a server. The thing that mainly put a stain for our restaurant outing at Skillet'z was the service. Upon walking in we were not greeted with a friendly welcoming and when seated they quickly walked away. The lady who took our order did not even look like she wanted to be there, granted I understand that nobody really enjoys having to go to work but if you need to interact with customers, maybe this isn't the occupation for you. While we were eating there was not a single time that anyone came up to us to ask us how we were doing, if we needed anything, or how the food was. There was a moment where it was someone's birthday at another table and I don't think I've ever heard a more unenthusiastic and monotone announcement for a birthday and a lame excuse for a birthday song. They're not going to bother with dropping off a check/bill for the meal so you need to go up to the counter to pay for the food. Once you step up to the counter keep in mind that more than likely you will encounter a rude interaction and a feeling that you were inconveniencing them. Overall I'll more than likely eat from here again, primarily for the food. But maybe next time we'll consider just taking out to go.

A staff member greeted me when I came in and let me know I could order at the cash register when I was ready. I ordered a large frozen caramel latte and they made it immediately. It was delicious -- if you like sweet drinks, you will not be disappointed. It was actually almost too sweet for me, and I'm the type to ask for extra caramel in my caramel lattes. The drink was well blended and the large size is 24 oz, so good portion there. The paper menu needs to be updated though, because it listed the drink price as $6.15 but I was charged $6.50. In addition to frozen (frappe) coffee drinks, they have fruit freeze drinks and juices. I was there at lunchtime during a weekday and there were people dining in. The crepes smelled really good, I'll have to come back and try them. They have a nice shaded outdoor dining area.

    Cute little cafe with a lot of food options from crepes to sandwiches to smoothies…read more If you come here, definitely get a crepe as this is what they're known for. I was personally craving something more savory, so I got a tuna sandwich. Wasn't bad, but definitely wish I got a crepe as they all looked good! They do have both sweet crepes and savory crepes. Good for large and small groups. Good for kids. Plenty of parking via a shared parking lot with other businesses.

    Good food & Great service~…read more The food was yummy but I'd suggest adding roasted garlic into the omelet would make it tastier! Outdoor seating & front parking is always a PLUS! As we have our dog with us all the time and visiting your restaurant for the first time allowed us to have a breakfast date which we haven't been able to do in a while & it was nice to sit down and talk. The staff was incredibly friendly and created a warm, family-oriented atmosphere - I believe we met all of their hosts and even the owner Alex who introduced himself and spoke with us. We truly appreciated being checked on, although the only thing I'd advise is that once your customers get their food and you have asked if everything is OK 1-2 times, to please allow your customers to enjoy the food.. We were approached almost every 2 minutes by different hosts, the owner and another maybe co-owner Fidel - constantly being asked if everything was OK or if we needed more coffee which was asked in total about 8 times (not exaggerating as we were asked by different people lol). We felt as if we were being monitored the entire time and couldn't enjoy our time to eat and talk. Again this is just a feedback & advice to allow your customers to enjoy the food and the company or family they are with. If they are not looking for staff or any help -- Maybe check back every 10 minutes. Otherwise, we appreciate all of your service & kindness, and we will be back soon to try out other dishes from your menu. Thank you!
