    This is a decent India restaurant with a variety of North indian and Indo-Chinese dishes. Biggest plus, in my opinion is that they special vegan menu as well. However , when I got a Vegan Jackfruit Biryani, they served the yogurt sauce ( raita ) with it too. So I hope employees are little better trained about Vegan food. Have tried a few other things like the Bagara Baigan ( Eggplant in peanut sauce), Tofu 65 (vegan) and few other dishes and generally they taste well.

    The Gobi Manchurian was overly seasoned, and the tandoor chicken was way under seasoned. We got the Hyderabadi Mutton Dum Biryani with medium spice but this was not spicy at all.

    Paneer tikka masala- very delicious, slightly sweet (5/5) Malai kofta- very tasty & creamy, not sweet (5/5) Butter chicken- delicious! (4.5/5)

    Delicious!! I was so satisfied! Butter chicken is with the hype. I never had Biryani before, so I tried the spicy seafoods option; surprisingly burst with flavors! Arrive was good, they are super busy! Ambiance is more of a take-out place. Though you can dine there.

    I gave this place a try since I was tired of all the other Indian restaurants nearby, and they do have a large selection of items on their menu besides biryani. It's a small place, so don't go here for a dine-in experience. We ordered takeout, and it was ready really quickly, which is always good. We got the Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani, mutton sukka, egg hakka noodles, and gobi manchurian. I know ordering Indo-Chinese food from a biryani place can be hit or miss, but I gave it a try anyway. Surprisingly, the Indo-Chinese part of my order was pretty good, and I may go back here just to get that again. Biryani, on the other hand, was just about okay--not too great. Mutton sukka was also alright; it wasn't really sukka (dry), but it had a fair bit of gravy. Overall, I'd give this place a try if you are bored of other Indian restaurants in the neighborhood and want to try something new.

    Got some delivery and everything was packaged well. No spills. Loved everything. The manchurian fish was so flavorful and delicious, a little on the salty side but I'd still get it again! The curries were both sooooo good! Butter chicken was creamy and delicious! Goat curry was spicy and tender! Would get delivery from here again!

There was plenty of outdoor seating, and the service was speedy. You order on a kiosk, which makes for a streamlined ordering process. The food is always solid - I love all of their thali selections. This location was much more peaceful compared to the Palo Alto location. I stopped by on a Saturday evening, and there were only a couple tables that were occupied. I will say I feel like the portion sizes here are noticeably smaller than those at the Palo Alto location. This might be because all of the orders are packed to-go, so maybe there's less space for food? For instance, the thali from the Palo Alto location includes a side salad, which was not included in my order here. The other sides (pickled salad and daal lentil), along with the entree, were also significantly smaller here. The prices are the same, so I do think the Palo Alto dishes are more worth it.

Food is always fresh and tastes good. Definitely recommend the Benne dosa, which is not commonly available in Bay area. It's a more thicker and crispier version of dosa. Have tried their idli, medu vada and the combo and mini Thali as well. Yet to try their lunch Thali or the rice items. They also have a daily $5 item, which is not listed on the normal menu and available after 3 pm . Some of these items are good as a snack like their Bajji ( chili fritters) available on Wednesday , while some are good enough as a meal like the Adai Avial ( lentil crepe served with a coconut milk based veg curry ) . They also sell, ready to eat , grab and go curries. The menu is completely vegetarian. This place is already popular , seeing how it always has customers throughout the day.

The dosa is crisp and the fermented flavor is delicate. The filtered coffee is popular so I had to try it, and I love it. I'm not sure everyone would like it though. It's a strong coffee, slightly bitter even with sugar. The milk is poured with a long pull to create foam. The foam is light, not creamy or velvety like a latte. It's a very small portion in a small cup, and it's HOT, very HOT. I like it but I can see how other people might not. I was confused the first time I went in to eat because seating and ordering is not typical. When you first walk in, you go to the host and they'll give you a number then you walk to the room to your left to order and pay. You're given a chip if you order a coffee or tea and move over to the right. You give your chip to the person preparing the drinks for you. They ask your preference and hand over the very HOT drink. Then you sit at the table with your number on it. Your food is brought over fairly quickly. They bring extra sambar and chutney if needed, no extra charge. The dosa comes filled with turmeric spiced potato and on the side chutney (not my fave) and sambar which is so so good. You break a little dosa and dip and or scoop some of the sambar/ chutney. It's a casual setting and it gets pretty busy, especially on weekends. There are a ton of these types of restaurants and I'm pretty certain I've found the best one here!

Very efficient ordering process and delivered to your table. Tables are numbered. The filtered coffee is really good. We got it medium level (versus strong) with jaggerty (a type of sugar versus regular sugar). The coffee chef pours the coffee into small tin cups and then pours hot milk on top and tops it with frothy milk foam. My husband and I ordered a Masala Dosa which came with a white chutney and red chutney and sambar (soup); and a Mega Tiffin which had a more tightly rolled Masala Dosa (with potatoes, greens, onions inside, sambar, the 2 chutneys, 1 idyly (white bun), 2 vadais (donut shaped savory fritter), pongol (creamy grain - lentil and rice combo). I also had a mango lassi. The dosas were crisp and fresh and the filling was not too spicy for us. We really liked the dosas and the variety of other dishes that are also served. The coffee was very good. We had considered getting the Mylapore dosa, but the cashier mentioned it is spicy so we opted for the Masala one instead. Staff were friendly and helpful as we told them it was our first time there. We parked in the parking lot. Our server said often the parking lot is full and people park nearby and walk in. The restaurant was fairly full at that time with only a few tables available. Ambiance was casual and nice with high ceilings, booths or tables. We sat in a booth. Table was pretty and lots of natural light. You go in and get a table number. You take the menu and table card to the cashier and order. Then, you get your coffee and/order mango lassi (or other drink) and take it to your numbered table. A server brings your food out to your table.

The ambience is average and service is average too. We had to ask for glasses for water, also needed to ask to refill the water. When we had finished with appetizer, in general the server will remove from table what you are done with - but here it just felt like plates are accumulating. No one to take away that.

Pomfret was super good. Really well done. Briyani was a meh - I don't feel Bay Area has best briyani's anyways. I have had better Briyani in places like Seattle, Raleigh and Phoenix. The chicken 65 in Briyani though was pretty good - the typical Chennai style chicken 65 dyed with food colors . It was super nice of them to prepare filter coffee for us although it wasn't in the menu. Coffee was decent. The veg thali was also about okay. I didn't tried it but my friend did and that was his review. Their special goat briyani was decent at best - I was hyped up about it but to me.it didn't live up to the expectations.
