Hard to say why this was amazing. 1) Dev was a super nice guy and accommodating. 2) unique samosa chaat was fantastic. 3) sad it wasn't busier but we had a quiet and great time with cricket playing while eating. 4) drinks that were unique and tasty. 5) all the food was perfectly created. After a long hike up to a peak, this hit the spot for us! read more

Came here during Fremont Restaurant Week and the food was actually pretty good. The biryani was flavorful, the rice was fragrant, and the portion size was generous. If you like meat and biryani, this place definitely delivers on the food. Unfortunately, the billing left a bad impression. When it was time to pay, the staff simply brought the card machine over for me to tap and sign without showing the itemized bill first. Only after reviewing the receipt later did we realize there was a 10% dine-in service fee added. On top of that, tax was also applied to the service fee, and this wasn't clearly mentioned beforehand. I completely understand restaurants adding service charges, but it should really be clearly disclosed and customers should have a chance to review the bill before paying. The food itself was good, but the surprise fee and lack of transparency definitely took away from the overall experience. Overall: Food Transparency on fees read more

Food was delicious! I ordered the mutton and chicken biryanis. Service was quick. Ambiance not sure. Ordered delivery. Will visit next time! Definitely returning to try other dishes. read more

The biriyani was great. Just enough spices. The service was excellent. My kid loved the food.

Short Story: A great Indian place in Fremont! Long Story: I've been coming here for several years now and each time it does not disappoint! I've had almost all their dishes including chicken 65, several biryani, curries, naan, and roti. For the most part the portions are generous and the food is excellent. There are times when I feel they don't give enough shrimp/fish and the naan/roti prices keep going up! The restaurant itself is a bit small with a few booths. I've only gotten to-go (both ordering at the store and online). The service is okay to good and the restaurants has lots of natural lighting from the large windows. Verdict: I'll go back! read more

An update as we were needing food today and decided to try this place out again and try a few more items. Today we called in our order, they told us 20-25 minutes to pick up. So we took our time. There was one table that was pretty much done eating when we arrived. The person at the counter told us it would take 10 more minutes so we waited. The inside was basically booths to sit in which was kind of nice. There seems to be a QR code to order food at the table. Well we waited and waited and well even the table who asked for the check and to-go containers started to be impatient. Well it took roughly 33 minutes for us from phone order to getting our food. So beware of what you order and the time it will take to get your food. Apparently there were a few orders that came in at the same time as us, so maybe that's the case, or perhaps fish is just something that a lot of places seem to not have ready to go. Speaking of fish, we ordered a fish tikka and shrimp hakka noodles. When we got home and unpacked, I was a bit shocked at how little fish there was. I think it's supposed to be 2 filets but they were sliced into 5 pieces. The flavor was quite spicy but that's a premade tikka sauce that they put on their tikka menu items. The fish itself was ok. I just wish there was more than what was there. The bell peppers were grilled alongside the fish. The shrimp hakka noodles were well peppered and we were able to put this to mild spiciness. There were slivers of bell peppers (green and red) as well as onions and a number of shrimp. The noodles felt standard. Basically peppery spaghetti. It was fine. Oh! If you are eating there, be aware that you may smell like food. It's kind of cold inside to help with the ventilation but the food smells still permeate throughout the space. Overall, perhaps stick to the biryanis. I'm sure we might try out more of their menu one day and we'll perhaps find something that would be good but today wasn't that day. read more

Updated review. Not sure what happened but my recent experience is not as good as the last ones. Food wasn't as good as it was before and the naan didn't taste as fresh like it did before like it was freshly baked. Service is also not existent, hard to get someone's attention when no one stays in the front everyone is always in the kitchen. We might not be coming back unfortunately. read more

My sister's friends had catered food from this location at a party of theirs and my sister loved it! Tonight, we (three of us) decided to go here for a quick dinner. We were very hungry as we'd been out all day. Location: blink and you'll miss it! We had to hit a u-turn to get to the restaurant. There were definitely a few spots available when we went (Monday night just before 6 pm), but I can imagine it gets busy in that small parking lot. Service: everything we asked for, we received! We had just come from Philz and we requested cups to split our coffees -- they were so sweet to accommodate (even gave us a cup of hot water when we asked later). I asked for green chili and onions-- the onions and limes were $1 and they also threw in the chili! They were very accommodating and kind! Taste: we ordered gobi Manchurian, baby corn Manchurian, chicken dum biriyani, fish tikka (tilapia), chicken Hakka noodles, and a side order of rice. We absolutely loved both Manchurian dishes-- our favorite!!! The fish tikka was also very good and served on cabbage. Super fresh and perfectly cooked. The chicken dum biriyani was also quite good (only two pieces of chicken, so you might need to order more if people are hungry), but I wish it had a whole egg instead of just half. The Hakka noodles were also delicious-- I think I'll try the vegetable version next time! Price: everything was fairly affordable!! All-in-all, highly recommend coming here and I'll definitely come back to try more of their delicious dishes! There are so many options to choose from! read more

I ordered the butter chicken and the peshwari naan for pickup and it was ready within 20 minutes of ordering. The butter chicken was super thick and had a rich tomato taste but there were not a lot of chicken pieces in it, which I was a bit disappointed about. However, the sauce itself was pretty filling and worth the $16. The peshwari naan was really tasty but was super sticky and got all over my fingers and my napkins. The portion for the naan was also pretty small as I expected a bit larger of a naan for $6. I would come back and try this place again! read more

Very dry, rice not properly cooked. Paid extra for biryani to be extra masala but turned out to be very bland. Mutton too dry and hard, Not at all worth the money. Burnt Mutton pieces. Definitely not worth it. Don't buy Chicken Roast pulav. It nothing but bland rice and dry chicken read more

I was so excited to try out a different Biryani place this time, so I decided to try Hyderabad Dum Biryani. I ordered from here via Doordash, so I can't comment on the service, location or ambience. So, this review is solely for the food. I ordered Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani and Chicken 65. The food wasn't fresh at all. Chicken 65 was so damn hard and chewy, so I just knew this has been re-fried and been quite stale. The biryani was better (only, slightly) than the Chicken 65. But even so, the rice was dry and hard (sigh). Quite disappointing. read more

By far the worst Biryani i have ever had in my life. It smelled bad and tasted weird. Like its 10 days old. Oh Wait there is more... palak panner was salty. $50 wasted on this crap... threw away all the food Feel cheated... read more

This was my first visit, and I can't believe I've lived in Fremont for years without discovering this spot. It's truly a hidden gem for biryani. My friend and I ordered the goat biryani, garlic naan, and chicken tikka masala -- everything was delicious. The service was excellent, and Dif was super helpful in recommending what to try. Plenty of parking and no wait. Highly recommend! read more

Ordered Chicken 65 biriyani. Dine In has an extra charge. This is the first time I have seen this. I did a take out and basically got a plastic box of biriyani that was microwaved. Spicy charges at a $1 extra. Tastes like a day old rice mixed with chicken made over the weekend. This place has not changed. read more

Not a huge Indian food fan just because of the salt and crazy peppers but I asked for a low salt option for the entree and it was muy delicioso! I can't tell you what I ate but I had a chicken app that reminded me of orange chicken a bit. I ordered the the lamb I believe and even though he said he could not make it low sodium but compensate with rice, it had some heat behind it but it was pleasant. He even brought out some extra sauce for extra spice which was a nice touch. I left feeling pleasantly sedated and I look forward to eating there again. read more

Awesome biryani and a super cool, friendly environment! Special thanks to Dev for his excellent service and food recommendations. He made sure we got the perfect biryani and checked in to ensure everything was just right. Highly recommended! read more

I tried Hyderabad goat dum biryani and satti babu fry piece biryani. Goat dum biryani got traditional Hyderabad dum biryani slight tangy flavored rice and well cooked goat pieces. Satti babu fry piece biryani got pulav styled rice and chicken slightly fried pieces which were tender and cooked well. Overall liked both of these biryanis. We ordered for take out and order was ready by the we reached restaurant. read more

Tried this place and ordered the Goat Biryani with Tandoori Chicken. The biryani taste was okay - decent flavors but nothing exceptional. Unfortunately, the tandoori chicken was not that good and didn't live up to expectations. Overall, an average experience. Might give it another try in the future to see if it was just an off day. read more

Came here for dinner with my mom. We ordered the ghee roast biryani, hariyali chicken kebab, and chicken tikka wrap. Everything was super tasty, we especially enjoyed the biryani and the wrap. The biryani came with plenty of pieces of meat and was flavorful. My mom really enjoyed it too, and she's quite picky! read more

The food here was great! I tried the chicken tiki masala, butter chicken, and chicken biryani, but the best part was their garlic naan. It was so warm and soft it melted in your mouth. Will definitely be coming here again. read more

Most of the food was pretty good but the portions are small for the price & not great for sharing. We ordered 5 items between three people and were not completely full. I also think we may have not ordered the best items; I heard their butter chicken is great but wanted to try something new. We ordered a large chicken dum biryani but were given a small size. The chicken was well-seasoned & fall-off-the-bone but the rice was a bit bland. They give a sauce on the side but it wasn't enough. The tandoori fish was pretty plain & very lightly seasoned. Garlic naan was good & so was the veggie pakora, but my favorite was the mutton vindaloo. It was really spicy and sour but I like that flavor profile. The portion was so small & there were a lot of bones though! Worker was nice and friendly; orders came out within 10 minutes. The place is very casual. If I ever do come back I'll try their butter chicken! read more

A little Indian spot hidden in Fremont. Came here with a friend after a trip to Fremont after craving some Indian food. It definitely hit the spot. Prices are reasonable and food is yummy! The chicken tikka masala didn't taste like the usual chicken tikka masala, but in a great way. It was creamy and very flavorful. The hyd mutton curry was savory and had a little kick the mutton was also very tender. Both naans (garlic and regular) tasted good on their own and also complimented the tikka masala and hyd curry well. The servers would check on us to make sure everything was good. Overall, good experience and yummy food! read more

We ordered Sattibabu chicken fry biryani along with karvepaku chicken as appetiser. Both were worse. chicken fry in biryani is worse , not actual and authentic.

8.27.25 The food was good. However, my appetite and mood was ruined when Dave, the waiter that was helping us, from this restaurant decided to make a rude comment on how much I should be eating based on my size. He commented saying that one naan was not enough for me because I am a plus size woman. He didn't make such comments to my friend but he didn't even hesitate to say it to my face. I found it extremely rude and distasteful that I have decided to never come back even though the food was up to standards. I have never left a review before but that is because NEVER IN MY LIFE have I been blatantly disrespected. How are you going to be treating your customers like that? Customer that is spending money at your restaurant and the one that is tipping you. I will never be coming back again. I hope he is able to reflect and think twice before saying such comments to anyone ever again. read more

Unauthorized Tip Added Without Consent Though the show receipts show phone order i ordered In-Person. I was charged an unauthorized tip without my consent at this restaurant. The total shown during checkout was $30.85, but when I proceeded to pay, the screen displayed $33.86. I never selected or approved a tip, yet the final amount included a $2.86 tip I did not authorize. I later found the original $30.85 receipt hidden in my food bag, confirming my suspicion. When I confronted the staff, I was gaslighted and falsely told I must have tapped the tip option--which I know I didn't. They promised a refund that never came. This wasn't just an honest mistake; it was deceptive and urge others to double-check their charges carefully before leaving. read more

Not sure if we were just unlucky with the items we ordered, but we were not as impressed as our previous time here. Although I really liked their butter chicken and aloo gobi, I can't say the same about a couple of new dishes we tried... + Bagara Baingan - these are small whole eggplants in curry. For some reason this was quite bitter. Even over rice, we couldn't mask the bitterness and ended up throwing this out. + Mutton Vindaloo - this is VERY spicy. It was inedible for me, but hubby did his best to finish it just so we're not wasting too much food. He loves spicy food, but this was even too spicy for him. + Tandoori Chicken - 3 of the 4 pieces we got were burnt. Based on this latest experience, I had to subtract 1 star from my previous review. read more

Food - we ordered butter chicken ( non spicy for kids) , chilly paneer & chicken biryani. Butter chicken was good. My kid enjoyed it. Chilly paneer was also good. It's Indian style & is spicy. If you can't take so much spice then don't order it. I loved it. Biryani was also good. Service - Special mention to Mr Mohit .He was our server when we visited the restaurant. He has exceptional customer service skills. We had ordered chicken biryani but instead got paneer biryani. He was nice enough to have us a free chicken biryani as a replacement. He even apologized several times & made sure the rest of our experience was great. Kudos to him for his service. Recommend it to everyone to try it out. read more
