Casual fine dining. Decent seating, good for groups. Decent prices. ***FOOD: we tried a whole bunch of items- *crispy baby corn-3.5/5- very crispy with a sweet and tangy coating indicating liberal vinegar usage. *malai soy chaap: 3.5/5: excessive usage of malai(aka fat). Indulgent and decent enough for a small serving. *vellulli kaaram paneer-3/5- lacked salt. Paneer was softish but felt a bit chewy and hard in places. *black pepper mushroom curry- 4/5- this was my favorite dish that evening. The fragrant curry leaves, earthiness of the mushroom and the black pepper created an intoxicating combination. It was floating in excess oil but was lip smacking delicious. *chilli garlic Naan: 4.5/5: I normally don't rate naan as they are non descript but the version here was wonderful. Thin, not burnt on the downside and paired oh so well with the mushroom curry. *Egg biryani- 3.5/5- this was spicy rather than being flavorful. Since it was made with egg, I didn't mind the spice.

Ambiance is good and very much similar to that of Sunnyvale location. We were a largish group and…read morewere able to spend a lot of time. I'm motivated to write this review specifically for 3 items that I enjoyed a lot. Lasuni Soya Chaap, Mushroom Pepper Fry and Chilli Garlic Naan. All 3 tasted amazing and made the experience all the more better. Lasuni Soya Chaap was flavorful, with generous amounts of garlic Chilli Garlic Naan was so good, that it didn't need another curry on the side. It was a novel idea and was a hit! Mushroom Pepper Fry was spicy but with pepper, the best way to spice things up! Enjoyed it. We also ordered Egg Biryani. It was so disappointing - very bland, both the rice and egg. Chili Paneer was just ok. Seemed like a tad bit extra ketchup Babycorn 65 was crispy and good too. The next time I come here, will max out on the appetizers, they seemed to be doing a great job. Coming back to try their non-vegetarian menu.

Interestingly, although OpenTable showed no reservation availability after our time slot, we noticed several vacant tables about 15-20 minutes after we arrived around 7:20 PM. The restaurant makes a strong first impression with its attractive décor and inviting ambiance. The menu appears to span multiple cuisines, offering a wide range of choices for diners with varied tastes. Despite the size of the restaurant, there were plenty of attentive waitstaff, and service was prompt throughout our visit. Most importantly, the food was flavorful and well prepared. Combined with the pleasant atmosphere and efficient service, it made for an enjoyable dining experience. We would certainly consider returning.

Very disappointing experience at Khati Peeti. The biggest issue was the extremely slow service. We…read morewaited far longer than expected for our food, and throughout the wait, no one came to update us or even acknowledge the delay. Almost 1 hour for couple of dishes. What made the experience worse was the complete lack of an apology or any effort to make things right. Delays can happen in any restaurant, but good customer service means communicating with customers and showing that you value their time. Unfortunately, that didn't happen here. The food wasn't enough to make up for the poor service. There are plenty of other Indian restaurants that treat their customers with more respect. I won't be returning again and wont recommend others to this restaurant.

Less chutney i recommend so you can enjoy the roll and chutney on side my recommendation. Staff is friendly. Service is good depending when u go. Ambiance not great but who cares when food is good. Go hungry for sure to enjoy the food and wait can be 30 to 40 min but worth it. Hopefully they maintain the test and flavor

Nice little Kebab place in Fremont. Limited menu, but each item is authentic, tasty & worth a try…read more The Mutton Sheek kebab is pretty pretty good, Fisk tikka with the chat masala yummy. The chicken(/paneer) tikka in buttery sauce is the only gravy item & goes very well with the Roomali roti. The Chicken Egg roll is wrapped in a Roomali roti, instead of paratha & is sumptuous(better than the popular ones we hv in peninsula(wink wink)). The place was full on a weekday night. Service is decent.

As usual, the food was full of flavor, and the curries were rich and creamy without being too oily. What we ordered: + Punjabi Kadhi with Pakora - the curry had a tangy flavor and the pakora were like dumplings. Very delicious. + Malai Kofta - these were like "meatballs" made of paneer and potatoes in a creamy tomato-y gravy. Yum. + Shahi Navratan Korma - cauliflower, peas, and cubes of cheese in a creamy, tomato-y gravy. One of our favorites. + Jadhpuri Onion Kachori - spicy, crispy, pastry stuffed with a delicious mixture of onions and potatoes. It was about the size of a donut. Great as an appetizer. + Lachcha Paratha - buttery flat bread with a spiral shape. + Roti (whole wheat) - a nice alternative to our usual naan. It's similar to naan but not as fluffy. We enjoyed their vegetarian dishes. So many of the dishes don't have descriptions so it's hard to decide what to order. Now we have lots of new dishes to include in our "favorites".

I was craving some Indian food and not many Indian restaurants are open by the time I'm off work. I…read morechecked on Yelp and saw that this spot was open. I came inside and like many Indian places, there's usually no happy greeting or a smile. Which is what I was expecting. So I went and ordered chicken tikka masala, naan & Chana masala to go. I waited about 10-15 min and my food came out packed well. The restaurant is small and cozy. There's a few TVs and it was warm inside, but they had a fan running. I got home and the food was piping hot and tasted really good. I'll definitely be back.

Ordered a family pack chicken dum biryani, family pack haleem, and a small goat biryani…read more The Chicken Biryani was a major disappointment of all. It was sweet, flavorless, dry and lacking spice - four out of four people didn't like it. I definitely won't be trying it again. The Mutton Biryani, was flavorful and definitely many times better than chicken biryani. The Haleem was the absolute best item we ordered and a definite hit, making it worth trying again. Be warned about their 'Family Pack'. It's advertised as a family size but serves about two people, not definitely four, which is quite pricey for a 32oz bucket at $40. While the Haleem's quality justified the price as a seasonal item, the 'Family Pack' concept for biryani is poor value. I'd recommend the Haleem and Mutton Biryani, but steer clear of the Chicken Biryani and don't expect the "Family Pack" to feed more than two, 3 at best.

Margh (marag) was not overpowering with spices. Just taste perfect for me. Will not be my go-to though as it is a bit oily. Service?
