I visited during lunch with a few friends, and we were wowed by the variety of food options. The naan was served fresh, and everything we tried tasted really good. Service is very good and naan was replenished quickly. I also catered food from them for my spouse's 50th birthday party, and the food was a huge hit with all our guests. Everything was delivered on time and tasted perfect. For appetizers, we ordered Dahi Bhalla, Achaari Paneer, and Gobi Manchurian. For the main course, we had Chana Masala, Butter Chicken, and Paneer Lababdar, along with Naan and Lachcha Paratha. We also ordered Moong Dal Halwa for dessert. Dahi Bhalla was a super hit! Several guests said it was hands down the best Dahi Bhalla they had ever had at a restaurant. All the other dishes were equally delicious and received lots of compliments. Overall, whether you're looking for a great North Indian buffet or catering for a party, I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be ordering from them again!

Our veg favorites include gobi manchurian, malai kofta, and the paneer "sizzler" type of dish. Service is great as well. Saturday afternoons get busy so expect a buzzing atmosphere.

Fav spot for South Indian food. It is such a beautiful restaurant and it has a ton of character…read more The decor has the airs of a street market. You can tell they really put so much work into the wall art as well as the installation of a decorative power line, to make it feel like you are dining outside on a nice, balmy day even if it's actually the middle of winter. The pani puri station is so fun and whimsical, the server prepares each bite for you while you pick which sauce you want to go with it. I felt like I was at a night market. We also ordered the pav bhaji which was hot, buttery and delicious. Tied together with an order of garlic naan and chicken tikka masala, our meal was sumptuous and so satisfying. This is our fourth time coming here and we will definitely be back with our friends and family.

Have been to their spot in Santa Clara and keep DoorDashing them from time to time…read more This time gave them a visit for dinner with friends. There were 11 of us. The folks here quickly arranged a table for us. We were meeting to celebrate a birthday in the group. The staff helped stash the cake for us too. The live pani puri is the spotlight. This is something that takeout cant give full justice. They have a variety of pani flavors some of which my kids really liked. All our food was brought out in time and the staff was helpful throughout the dinner. Also, the ambience of this place brings out the 90's nostalgia which is a bonus.

Came to hashtag India with a friend after recommendation and was blown away with flavors…read more Ordered multiple things and each and everything was amazing and so flavorful. Service was prompt. Ambiance was nice. Pachmichi Paneer Pulaav (medium) - it was so flavorful and even medium spicy was perfect spicy.

Had the pleasure of coming here when my friend's family invited me to come with them for dinner,…read moreand then a second time when my friend and I were trying to decide on a place to eat. So far my experiences here have been pleasant, with the service being friendly and there being an ample amount of seating inside. I've noticed that the food tends to run on the spicier side (we ordered mild and yet it was still spicy, though perhaps just a sign of my spice tolerance failing me), but outside of that it tasted good. Panni Puri - This was my first time trying a panni puri and it tasted really good, even though I found it spicy (we ordered mild). I especially loved the texture of the onions inside of it. I ate it earlier on which made it harder for me to tell which other dishes were spicy and which ones weren't at the time as a result of its lingering spiciness, but I would happily order it again given the opportunity. Punugulu/Veggie Puff/Vegetarian Fried Rice - All three of these were good and I do recall them being non-spicy. The veggie puff was especially refreshing after trying to get through the paneer pulav Mirchi Bajji - These were also good and surprisingly not as spicy as I thought they would be, considering that they have chili peppers in them Naan with House Vegetable Curry - The vegetable curry was really spicy and it took me a while to realize this because I was still dealing with the effects of the panni puri while I was eating this. Had I not brought some of it home as leftovers I probably would've thought that this was non-spicy Paneer Pulav - Much spicier than expected. I needed to use some of the curd to tone it down but it was still good. The texture of the rice was good too The cold drinks on their menu come in a reusable bottle and from their display I can assume that their desserts are the same way. So far the ones I've tried (mango lassi, rose milk, and chikoo shake) have been refreshing. There's also a falooda section that closes at around 8:00 pm, but I haven't been able to try them yet as both times we got there past eight. Overall a pleasant experience in spite of the spiciness. Perhaps one day I'll be strong enough to handle it without the curd, but it'll probably take a couple of additional visits before I can.

If you are looking for Indian wedding catering in the Bay Area, Amber India should absolutely be at…read morethe top of your list. They catered our wedding of 260 guests, and Tarun and his team completely blew everyone away. We had a VERY hard-to-please crowd, including a lot of guests coming from India who work in hospitality and restaurants themselves, and people could not stop talking about the food. I searched high and low for a Bay Area Indian wedding caterer and honestly found a lot of the options disappointing. Amber was completely different. The food was incredibly flavorful, beautifully cooked, and actually presented well too, which can be hard to pull off at this scale. They are also a full service caterer, which makes managing the event much easier. We used Amber for all of our wedding events, and Tarun made sure every menu felt different and interesting rather than just repeating the standard butter chicken-type dishes. We had paneer tacos, Indo-Chinese served in Chinese takeout boxes, which was SUCH a cute touch, pani puri shooters that made them super easy to eat, and an incredible rasmalai tres leches for dessert, among many other items. The value is also amazing. For some of our pre-wedding events, we did their roughly $40/person package with four items plus dessert. I was worried it might not be enough food, but it was more than plentiful. Tarun himself is an absolute gem. He is kind, accommodating, creative, and goes above and beyond to make the event feel special. You can tell he genuinely cares. We did not want a standard buffet as we wanted the event to feel more elevated, and he did a great job of accomodating our request for family style, as well as serving apps + mains at two different venues in the South Bay ~20-30 min from each other. Our guests are still talking about the food. Amber India truly helped make our wedding weekend, and I would recommend them without hesitation. Easily one of the best decisions we made.

It had mild spice which elevated the other flavors. Non-veg Thaali was truly exceptional with an eclectic mix of chicken and goat curries, sambar rice based Biryani, an omelette and Manchow soup. Chocolate Mousse was an interesting desert choice. The only downer was a single roti was included, wish there were a few considering there were lot of curries. My friend tried the Veg Thaali in which he liked the Vada. He found the curries a bit underwhelming. I enjoyed the Chikoo milkshake, reminded me of childhood. Definitely plan to visit again soon :)
