    Really great late night spot for drinks and kebabs with friendly staff. The buttery chicken should not be confused for chicken tikka masala-style butter chicken as this is more old Delhi style chicken with malai or cream. It was delicious with the roti although the rumali roti wasn't as soft as one might have expected, it's still pretty good. Would recommend checking this place out if you're in the area at night.

    Decided to check this out finally since we live close by. It was nice and met our expectations - good tasty food and a really nice lively vibe on a Friday evening. They also play the game at the bar so it's nice to enjoy that. Service was a little slower but it was quite busy so it was justified. The food was tasty but definitely on the spicier side so be mindful of that, we ordered the paneer butter masala with roti and the paneer roll. The paneer was a little sour but it was still yummy and also quite filling and we had leftovers too. I'll come back to try the chow mein and chili potatoes!

    Came here on a Thursday evening--place was decently crowded but we were seated right away. We ordered the paneer roll, egg paneer roll, and honey chilli potatoes. The server mentioned a ~15-minute wait, but the potatoes came out pretty quickly. Overall, everything tasted good--nice flavors and a solid charred taste that stood out. Only downside was the pricing felt a bit high for the portion sizes. Still, a good experience taste-wise.

    It was suggested by someone in family. The place is next to Farsha hookah place by same owner I believe. We opted to sit indoors to avoid any smoke/ smell. It was bustling on Saturday night. We ordered Romani roti, chicken Kathi roll, buttery chicken, mutton kabob and fries. Fries -3/5. They felt a bit stale Chicken -4.5/5 Mutton - 4/5 Kathi roll- 3.5/f. Felt the roti should be less doughy and baida(egg) layer was also too thick. Made it really heavy. Masala soda -5/5 Ambience - loud and great for family/friends outing/ drinking Service - quick. We couldn't understand one of our servers and someone else had to explain. Will be back to try more stuff. Parking- open parking.

    ***USP: true to their name, Indian dhaba (roadside eateries on Indian highways to cater to long haul drivers, road trippers) style food with a limited but epic menu. ***FOOD: limited menu- kebabs, rumali roti, wraps and chowmein. We were hungry when we arrived so we ordered and sampled almost every item on the menu. Here's the good and the mediocre. They know how to cook kebabs well, be it the mutton or chicken so definitely get them! The kebabs have a smoky tandoor cooked flavor. The chicken was smothered in some yogurt butter gravy, it was intoxicatingly delicious paired with the rumali roti. The chow mein reminded me of the version we get on Indian streets, greasy, peppery and umami rich. It will be unlike other versions you had before so definitely get this as well. I absolutely savored this, especially with the crunchy peppers. Wraps: they served the same kebabs in a wrap version. I didn't particularly like the wrap itself, they might have made it in house but it tasted like a store bought tortilla to me. The sauce used didn't have sufficient flavor as well.

    I'd been wanting to go to their food truck for years after watching Indian movies in Fremont and never managed to due to some reason or the other. Finally decided to drive here on a Friday evening and it was worth it! It was quite crowded late on a Friday around 9 (as expected) but thankfully we didn't have to wait. They actually take table bookings over phone. Food came out pretty quick. Paneer Tikka - 5/5. Really well spiced, quite soft, and juicy. Large pieces of paneer too, like it that way. Buttery Chicken Tikka - 4/5. We asked for less butter and I think they did a good job of it. Flavor and sauce was true to its name and it was cooked well. Reduced a star probably because it wasn't as juicy as the paneer. Rumali Roti - 4/5. I absolutely LOVE Rumali Roti and it's really hard to find. Making it a "duh" order if see it. True to its name, it was really thin and well made (unfortunately forgot to click a picture), could have been slightly softer if I'm being critical. We still ordered a second set, lol! Each set comes with 2 Rumali roti's and I think it's quite reasonably priced for how exclusive it is. Definitely see myself coming back, probably to have some beers as well next time along with my food. Maybe for a work happy hour?

    Keeku da Dhaba is true to its name - a rustic, casual, roadside eatery at heart that has worked its way up in Fremont from a food truck to now setting up a proper restaurant. We were meaning to try this place for a long time and finally made plans with another family to try it out today. The inside is cosy and there's tongue-in-cheek humor spattered across the decor and even the glassware (check out the pictures). We loved it. The menu is straightforward and limited. Honestly, I prefer places that have a limited menu. It means the things I order will most likely be fresh, will taste good, and will be served hot. There are eateries that have a whole binder full of menu items that go for pages and you know there's a good chance half of it won't be fresh. The server, Garson, came to us promptly to take our orders. We had the Egg Chicken Roll, the Butter Chicken Tikka, the Lamb Seekh Kebab, and some roomali rotis. The roll was tasty, the chicken kebabs were nice. Honestly, though, flavor-wise they were a little one-dimensional and mild. I saw the pictures and they usually come drenched in butter but we asked them to go easy on the butter so my arteries will probably thank me for that decision. The show stoppers for me were the seekh kebabs and the rotis. The seekhs were tender and juicy and perfectly seasoned. And the roomali rotis - Hands down the best I've had in years. So thin, they are almost see-through. Soft yet flaky. The roti, kebabs and the green chili chutney were a perfect combination. And we had a beer to wash it down. They have such a good collection of fresh-on-the-tap beers and even cocktails. Definitely recommend trying this place out if you haven't already. I'll be back to try their fish tikkas and paneer rolls next time.

    My dinner this evening at Keeku da Dhaba is one of my top meals of 2025. Their menu is small - with only kebabs and few wraps, but every single item we ordered was phenomenal. Unlike most Indian restaurants, Keeku has a special type of flatbread -- a "rumali roti". Unlike a fluffy naan that's baked in a tandoori oven, the roti here is paper thin. If you've had Peking duck at a fancy Chinese restaurant before -- where you construct your own wraps with duck, plum sauce, and spring onions, the roti reminds me of the type of wrapper you use to make a duck pancake. On its own it's not particularly flavorful, but it's the perfect vehicle for everything else on the table. Between the four of us, we got an order of paneer tikka, butter chicken, two orders of mutton, and two orders of roti. This ended up being a ton of food, and we ended up taking much of the chicken home to go. Don't sleep on the green sauce on the table. It's spicy, herbaceous, and goes well with everything, even the roti on its own. The mutton is packed with a cornucopia of fragrant spices and is bursting with flavor. The tender, juicy chicken used in the butter chicken tasted like chicken thigh and had a perfect balance between fat and lean parts. Like the green sauce, the butter chicken sauce you'll want to sop up every last bit with roti. It's rich and decadent, so you'll definitely want some lemon juice and/or some sliced slivers of raw onions to pair with the chicken to balance things out. The wide array of dry spices generously dusted over the grilled pieces of paneer reminds me of the heavy seasoning you'd find on cumin lamb skewers (but obviously different). The heavy hitting punches of flavor do not stop at Keeku with every dish. I cannot say enough good words about my delicious meal and cannot wait to bring my friends here.

    Amazing Indian-style grilled meats! I was introduced to this place by a friend, and I'm so glad we tried it out as the food was delicious. My party of 4 stopped by Thursday evening around 7:30 pm and sat inside, though they have outdoor seating as well. The menu is super straightforward. There's no curries or anything, just a selection of grilled meats and paneer as well as some kathi rolls. They also have honey chili potatoes and veg chow mein for Indo-Chinese. We tried the following: buttery chicken tikka ($14) mutton seekh kabab ($14) fish tikka ($14) - only available Wed and Thur We also ordered some rumali roti to share, and one friend also tried the paneer kathi roll ($14). Everything was super delicious. Of the meats, the seekh kabab was hands down the favorite of the table, but the chicken tikka was good as well. It was interesting because the chicken is served in a creamy yogurt sauce, which we weren't expecting. Both meats tasted great wrapped in the super thin rumali roti. The fish tikka was also good, but next time I would probably skip this and leave some more stomach space for the chicken and mutton :) My friend really loved the paneer roll, said it was the best he's had in a long time. I tried a bite and agreed that it was delicious, even though I'm generally not a huge fan of paneer. I didn't eat much of the honey chili potatoes, but the taste was authentic and exactly the same as what I've had in India. Portions were generous for the price, and I'm not sure how we managed to finish all the food as we definitely over ordered.

    Finally, Keeka da Dhaba has a restaurant! Used to go to their food truck a lot, but stopped because their service was slow. But ever since I came to know they had opened a restaurant, I had to go check it out. Butter chicken tikka: the quintessential item is my go-to. Pair it with the soft rumali roti and you have an amazing meal. Classic! I also tried their Paneer tikka: flavorful and soft. I must give shoutout to the ambience as well: as soon as you enter, you will see a "I heart Delhi" sign which is great, and they also have a bar area with some fun, quirky posters! The ambience is pretty nice (indoors and outdoors): could be a go-to place to hang out friends/family and have an amazing meal. Fremont (and surrounding) needed such spots.

    Now in its new location on Mission at Las Palmas. Open late, even on Sunday, with tons of beverage options making it a great place for hanging out. Grill out front is still churning out those delicious kebabs and now there are plenty of booths and tables where you can enjoy your meal without worrying about being run over by harried shoppers in the Bharat Bazaar parking lot. So happy to see this wonderful food truck find a brick-and-mortar home, and wishing them continued success!

    Went to try this place because it seemed like a good place! It definitely was busy but it's so hard to figure out what's going on. There's too many things happening without much staff or direction and that is difficult. Food was good but seemed like a bit above the generic Indian food. Paneer was probably my favorite out of everything. Hoping they expand the menu and maybe get more staff to get a sense of direction for visitors. We couldn't tell if there was a wait list or we sit at a table, people passing by and pushing in. They do turn tables fast.

    Vegetarian Reviewer: Last time I went there, they used to be right next to Bharat Bazar. The food was really greasy, with a lot of ghee/oil on the side. But the taste was fantastic -- I absolutely loved their paneer tikka and egg paneer roll. It was a little pricey at about $12 -- roughly $2 per piece. The roll was similarly priced but filling and super tasty. I would highly recommend it to satisfy a craving for yummy Indian food! The vibe was also good with lights and people around. I placed an order for paneer tikka and went grocery shopping in Bharat Bazar. The order was ready a few minutes after I got back. There was enough parking in the lot.

Reached almost closing time around 2.45 pm..took our order right away and warned for any orders to be placed as kitchen would close at 3. Ordered chili paneer appetizer followed with vegetarian items(dal tadka, Jeera rice, butter naan, chili paneer) and our guest had goat biryani. Food was fresh and tasted good. Our guest enjoyed the goat biryani and was very happy there were sufficient meat pieces.

But the manner in which the order is taken and the way in which they bring out the sides, especially the salan for the biryani is definitely disappointing. We ordered two biryani's - an egg biryani and a chicken biryani and they brought a tiny bowl of salan, which all put together is 5 teaspoons for a table of four adults. Really!! Check 3 points: the food is tasty definitely!!! However, the only downside is that the paneer starter is not well marinated; so the masala was only on the top. The insides of the paneer was just flat and insipid!! Cleanliness is lacking, the dirty dishes are in a cart right by the booth that we sat at. So the stench was emanating. We had to ask for water twice when the jug was empty, so the keen sense of observation and customer service is lacking! Overall, a place you can go to perhaps once or twice, but don't expect good service. The food is definitely Yum.

It will be worth coming back with a group of friends, so we can try more dishes.

    My family & I had a nice lunch at Falaknuma…read more I was recommended this restaurant for the Mutton Haleem, and it definitely delivered. Maybe the best in the Bay Area (though I'd like a few more onions ;) The Pathar ka Gosht and accompanying Rumali were delicious as well. Finally, I enjoyed the Zafrani Mutton Dum Biryani, but I'll note it's not quite the spicy "Hyderabadi dum biryani" that you may expect. The drinks were fine but not as good as the food. The Saudi Champagne is a curious mocktail, and other restaurants make better Irani chai. The service was adequate. It took about 25 minutes for our full order to be brought out, which felt a tad slow given the relative quiet. The building looks nicely-decorated, but it could use a clean-up, including the restrooms. I'm overall happy with my experience and plan to try some of the other recommended dishes.

    I have walked by this plaza many times, and every single time, I was met with an incredible,…read morehard-to-miss fragrance coming from Naga's Kitchen. I always told myself that if a place smells this good, the food had to be amazing too. I am so glad I finally tried it, because the food wasn't just good, it was great! I will definitely be coming back. Here is a breakdown of everything we ordered during our visit: Appetizers Chicken Lollipop (Dry): Flavorful, well-cooked, and wonderfully moist. Best of all, it had more meat and less batter than most other places, paired with a delicious dipping sauce. It has a slight, pleasant heat without burning your tongue, which is great for focusing on pure flavor. Naga's Special Apollo Fish: This was the absolute standout of the meal! It was packed with incredible flavor, featuring a fantastic mix of yogurt, curry leaves, and green chillies that hit the perfect balance of tangy, cool, and spicy. Main Entrée & Breads Butter Chicken: A wonderful, harmonious blend of sweetness and spice, leaning slightly on the sweeter side. It paired like a dream with our garlic naan. (Tip: If you prefer more heat, you can always check with the staff about customization!) Garlic Naan: Soft, perfectly cooked, and completely free of that dreaded rubbery texture. It had a generous amount of garlic, a slight crunch, and was the ideal vehicle for the butter chicken. Drinks Fresh Lime Soda (Sweet): Refreshing and crisp. You can choose between salty or sweet, and we went with sweet. Pro-tip: Make sure to stir it thoroughly before drinking, as the sweetness settles at the bottom! Service, Ambience & Practical Details Service & Ambience: There are plenty of tables, though it can get busy during peak hours. Even when crowded, the staff is exceptionally quick, attentive, and prompt with their service. Parking: The complex has plenty of parking spots, though it can get challenging on busy days, and some spots are a bit narrow. Keep in mind that the spots directly in front of the restaurant are mostly 10 to 30 minute parking zones, so it is best to park a little further back in the lot. Final Fun Note: Because the restaurant has such a wonderfully strong food aroma, be prepared to leave smelling deliciously like your meal! It is a small price to pay for such fantastic food and service. Highly recommended!

    Yes, it's good food here!…read more Orderd the paneer biryani, fried pomphret, tandoori chicken. Each was yummy. Somehow the paneer biryani was extra yummy, may be the rice was cooked just right and the presentation was standout. Customer service: fine Decor: clean, cool music beats softly Bathroom: very clean. Very good quality when you want it.

    Wanted to start my 2026 year with a review for a spot in my hometown of Fremont. I'm glad I got to…read morestart this year with a bang! :) [[ Location ]] It use to be a Sala Thai location but got replaced by Mumbai Chowk. I would say it's in a weird area since it's sandwiched between many condos/townhomes that are made by Toll Brothers and Lennar and very close to the Tesla Car Plant. Unless you are specifically coming here to eat, I do not think you would normally cross this place. [[ Service ]] Since it's currently not very busy (very surprised since the food is good), the owner and the chef come around often to make sure everything is alright and tasting delicious. They were both very friendly and very easy to talk to. Service was very good! [[ Food ]] I'm always on the lookout for good deals and already came back twice for their lunch menu which starts at $14.99 and comes with Dal, Rice, & Plain Naan. I think its spectacular value and quite filling as well. Menu items I have already tried: 1.) Chicken Tikka Masala 2.) Methi Malai Chikcien 3.) Chicken Korma (they just updated their menu so this is no longer on there) 4.) Mango Lassi Their Naan is quite good and I recommend upgrading to the Garlic Naan which made it even better! [[ Conclusion ]] I really hope they stick around longer because I'm happy i found a new place to eat that is not too far away for me. They also have a second location in Newark so if you live there, feel free to try it!

    So glad we found this place! I never had Indian seafood around here…read more Kind of gives hole-in-the-wall vibe at first glance, but definitely gives it a try! The food is great--no notes. The owner shared fascinating details behind all the special seafood dishes. Such a great time.

The thali came with 2 laccha paratha pieces and 2 naan pieces which were fine. The daal makhani felt like the cream had gone bad in it. The paneer was just mixed with some orange water (the gravy was non existent since it was just watered down). And the mix veg was floating in oil. The pindi chole was extremely spicy. Gave us heartburn in a few minutes. This whole meal was uncomfortable. Never again. If you must eat here, you can try the chole kulcha and nothing else. But be prepared for it to be extremely spicy. It's also not a clean restaurant. The floors were sticky. The bathrooms were dirty with flies flying inside.

    As someone who grew up in Delhi and has eaten countless plates of authentic chole bhature, I was…read moregenuinely excited to see Bikanervala open in the Bay Area. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. We ordered chole bhature along with items like aloo tikki and kachori, expecting fresh food. Instead, almost everything tasted like it had been reheated in a microwave. The aloo tikki lacked crispness, the kachori felt stale, and the overall freshness was missing. The biggest disappointment was the chole. They tasted old and stale, lacking the rich flavor, aroma, and freshness that Bikanervala is known for in India. The bhature were average at best and certainly did not justify the premium pricing. As a Delhiite, I understand authentic North Indian street food may be difficult to replicate perfectly, but freshness should be the minimum expectation. Sadly, this felt more like reheated cafeteria food than the Bikanervala experience I was hoping for. I really wanted to like this place, but based on this visit, I left disappointed and would hesitate to return. Didn't keep the bill but attaching the Credit Card Charge.
