    This family owned establishment is still in a soft opening phase. They had been in business for about a month and half. As we entered the store, we were greeted by the friendly owners. They offered to answer any questions we may have about their products. Also, they were so kind and generous that they let us sample some of the homemade desserts and chai tea. The snacks (appetizers) that we bought were samosas and veggie rolls. The veggie rolls had a hint of spiciness. The samosas weren't too greasy. They were both pretty flavorful and made with fresh wholesome ingredients. The thepla was tasty. The desserts weren't too sweet, which we very much appreciated. The items in the store were reasonably priced. There were a lot of imported food and non-food items. There were a lot of homemade snacks, desserts, cooked food, and groceries for sale. Everything seemed clean, organized, and well-stocked. We'll be back to try some more of their homemade treats. We highly recommend them for catering or anyone that likes homemade Indian food.

    This is a great new addition to the area. Fresh, yummy food. I got the paneer pakoras, samosas and kathi roll which were all excellent. The lady who helped me was super nice, they deserve a lot of success and I wish them the best.

    I've done my due diligence trying almost every Indian restaurant in San Jose, and Kabila is by far…read moreone of my favorites. I've ordered through Uber Eats and also dined in, but I highly recommend going in for lunch. They were happy to customize my order, which I really appreciated since I can no longer stomach spicy food. My go-to is the mild chicken tikka masala with garlic naan and rice, and the mango lassi is delicious. You really can't go wrong exploring the menu. The restaurant was clean, tables were nicely set, and even the refrigerated sweets displayed at the front looked fresh and well kept. I'm particularly picky about cleanliness especially restaurant floors and bathrooms so I definitely notice when a place is well maintained. Keep these two things top notch and you'll always have repeat customers whether or not the food is good, cleanliness will always be remembered Great food, great customer service, and a spot I'll continue coming back to.

They gave green chilli achar along with it, which was the exact taste that I used to eat in my childhood (north Indian taste) Samosa chat was good - but it needs more chaat toppings like onion, sev etc. didn't like chai because I prefer more milk in my chai. Sweets were great. - finally found a place where I am going to buy sweets from now on. Service was good too - we definitely enjoyed all the conversation. It's a small dining place, definitely going again.

You go to the counter, they present you with menus and tell you where to sit, then you come back up to the counter when you're ready to order. Service was welcoming and helpful. We got the lunch special, which has pre-selected items for the day. One of the items was an item i was going to order separately, but decided to switch it out when I heard it was going to be in the special. The employee helpfully offered some popular alternatives. The food was absolutely delicious! A good amount of spice and not like some of the places more local to me. (I'm from Sac.) We ordered the following: Special Lunch Thali, Pav Bhaji, and Puranpoli. The only time I could've done without was the Puranpoli. I didn't care for the flavor of the spice/sweetness, but that's just me personally. I've never had that dessert before from anywhere and knew I'd regret not having the menu item that is the same as the restaurant's name. Definitely going to be craving the food from here! Wish I lived closer.

Misal Pav & Vada Misal - Absolutely loved the Misal! Authentic flavor, perfect spice level, and so hearty. I especially appreciated that it wasn't just sprouted moong--there was moong, matki, yellow peas, black-eyed peas, and green peas. A true protein-packed bowl. Two thumbs up Vada Pav - Another hit! We devoured it Sabudana Vada - Crispy outside, soft inside, and just the right size. Didn't care much for the chutney though. Sabudana Khichdi - This one didn't work for me; it leaned a bit too sweet. Ukadiche Modak & Puranpoli - The stars of the meal! Highly recommend both. The modak was soft, pillowy, and melt-in-your-mouth with a great dough-to-filling balance. The Puranpoli was super soft, ultra-thin dough, and perfectly flavored stuffing--excellent in both taste and quantity Sol Kadhi - Just okay for me; not something I'd return specifically for. Kokam Sharbat - Loved it! Overall, a wonderful spot for authentic Maharashtrian flavors with warm, welcoming staff. I'd definitely come back!

I ordered the egg biryani, butter chicken, and their friday curry flight that came with the choice of 3 curries, a salad, raita, and naan. The biryani was super flavorful and not dry, and the egg paired with it well. All the curries were spicy and delicious, honestly not much more to say about it. I will say their raita is not my favorite, its just thick plain yogurt. I ordered online and I had to wait a little when I got there but that was okay. The interior is also spacious will lots of seating.

Local Pakistani artwork adorning the walls. Delicious grilled meat smells wafting around as well. ***FOOD: we got chicken 65, naan and samosa chaat sans yogurt. *chicken 65-3/5- this was almost beetroot red in color. In my naivety I hoped it was some natural food color using beetroot. But I later learnt from them that it was not. It left me appalled at the liberal use of such toxic artificial colors. Colors aside, the chicken itself was delicious. But I will make sure to ask them beforehand next time and order something that doesn't have colors. *naan-5/5- this was amazing. Hot from the tandoor. It wasn't charred at the bottom. It was light and large. It was clear that it was made by someone who knew their craft. I will come back here just for the naan. *samosa chaat-3/5- this made me sick, I had an upset tummy for a few days after. It was hot day so I m assuming they had problems with their chutney or maybe it was the samosa with the potato filling. Upset tummy aside, the chaat flavors were decent, not the best of the lot but decent nonetheless.

First off, the delivery was a smooth process, dot on time and packaged with such precision. Ankush, who runs the show at Delhicacies came to do the honors and as well left detailed instruction on how to go about preparing one of the starter dishes that we had ordered (Bhalle Papdi chaat that is). The menu we chose included Bhalle Paapdi Chaat, Cocktail Samosas, Paneer Tikka Masala, Chana Masala, Baingan Bharta, accompanied by Roomali Roti and Lacchay Pyaaz as a side salad. The Bhalle Paapdi Chaat was an instant crowd-pleaser, with the perfect balance of crispy papdi, fresh bhalle, cool sweet yogurt, tangy tamarind along with green sauces, a secret masala powder and a garnish of beetroot , pomegranate and cilantro. All of these were packed separately and instructions were provided (step by step) to prepare the end result which tasted out of the world good. It was refreshing yet packed with flavors that kept everyone asking for seconds. The Cocktail Samosas were golden, crisp, and filled with a spiced potato mixture that made them an ideal finger food--perfectly bite-sized and not greasy at all. For the main course, the Paneer Tikka Masala (PTM) stole the show with its rich, velvety sauce that coated the tender paneer in just the right amount of spice. The flavors were balanced yet bold, making it a standout dish. The earthy flavor in the paneer made it finger licking good and definitely was the biggest hit of the evening. The Chana Masala had the perfect texture--soft chickpeas simmered in a well-spiced gravy that had just the right amount of heat and tang. Cubes of paneer in there definitely made it a good overall combination and complemented with the PTM. The smoky and flavorful Baingan Bharta added an earthy depth to the meal as well. The eggplant was roasted beautifully, bringing out its natural flavors, which paired wonderfully with the Romali Roti. The roti was soft, thin, and warm, making it the ideal vehicle to soak up the gravies. We did end up heating the rotis in our microwave oven for about 10-15 seconds in batches and they remained perfect in their texture and taste. The Lacchay Pyaaz--freshly sliced onions with a sprinkle of masala--added a crunchy, refreshing bite to balance the richness of the other dishes. Overall, Delhicacies delivered an out of the world authentic North Indian culinary experience with each dish tasting as though it was prepared with care and precision. The food was flavorful, perfectly spiced, and served fresh. Our guests were impressed, and we couldn't have been happier with the quality of food and service of delivery. If you're looking for reliable and delicious Indian catering, Delhicacies should be at the top of your list! Give them a chance and thank me later. You are welcome!!!
