    Saturday night dinner - we got a spicy chicken appetizer Velluli Karam kodi - This was seriously spicy but we enjoyed it. Chicken Chettinad, onion kulcha and butter naan - all the dishes were flavorful and enjoyable. Ordering is through a QR code and they bring the food out to you. They do not joke about their spice levels, so order accordingly. Prices are reasonable and quantities are sufficient. Service is prompt and courteous. The restaurant got full pretty quickly later in the evening, I think we got lucky being able to walk in on a Saturday evening. We will look forward to returning to try out their other dishes!

    Chicken Tikka Masala

    We craved for Indian food so we came to get take out. Ordered at the counter. Was told it would take 20min. At the end , it took more than 30 min. There were only a few tables there occupied but lots of ppl came in for take out. The food itself was ok. I ordered rice as well and it was $3.99 for a small container. Not sure if I will come back.

    Chicken Tikka Garlic Naan
    Alyx J.

    A new indian spot in Fremont? We definitely had to check it out! This is a new location near Sujus, and you order at your table through an app. You also pay through the app so make sure to add tip first! Service was friendly and fast (as it usually is at indian restaurants). For me - this spot was SO flavorful! BUT i will say, for all my lame folks out there, it is VERY spicy! Even the not so spicy items, were spicy! I still ate it though because it was good... i was just struggling. We got their garlic naan (my favorite), rice, samosas, chicken tikka masala and the eggplant curry! Recently my old go to indian restaurants have gone downhill - so this was an exciting new find! I will definitely be back and hopefully order less spicy things...!

    I'm so glad we gave this place a second try! The last time we ordered the lamb biryani, there was barely any meat, but this time it was exactly as we expected. Every dish was delicious and full of flavor. I absolutely love their spices and spice level -- it's perfect for someone like me who loves spicy food. Everything was on point, and I'm really happy we came back. Definitely recommend this place!

    Telangana Chilli Chicken (Spicy)
    Anuja S.

    Visited this place with my besties on women's day. I found this place through an Instagram post. The ambiance is simple and clean, the service is attentive and now let's talk about food. We ordered there N all I gosht biryani, which was good and I would definitely recommend it, the Telangana chicken chilli leaves lot more to be desired, probably they need to fix how they need to season the chicken, the Shrimp were spot on but the street style noodles is something I would avoid, they were dry, the chicken in the noodle was drry and over done and the overall noodles didn't taste very well. The owner was open to the feedback and made note of it. I will stop by again in the future and hopefully it will a great experience across.

    Chilli Chicken ($14.99)
    Rachel L.

    Very flavorful dishes & the meat was all so tender! My favorite was their specialty Nalli Ghost Mutton Shahi Biryani. The mutton was quite literally fall off the bone and the curry was super flavorful with a kick. Went well with the red onions and a squeeze of lime. I also really liked their garlic naan. The chili chicken came out piping hot and fresh with a tangy & spicy flavor profile. Chicken tikka wasn't my favorite but the chicken itself was generously portioned and cooked well. I liked the telegana chicken curry more. Everything is ordered through online QR code. The service was okay; not attentive but nothing particularly bad. Place was very spacious and clean.

    Paneer Methi Chaman
    Gurpreet K.

    We had the paneer methi chaman--it was rich, flavorful, and packed with soft paneer. The garlic naan came out fresh, crisp, and perfect to pair with the curry. For dessert, we ordered the shahi tukda and it was so delicious and full of flavor that we had to order another one! Special shoutout to our waiter Sai, who was very helpful and made the experience even better. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to.

    Kadai Paneer, Butter Chicken
    Noopur D.

    We came to masala republic for the first time during Fremont restaurant week. The area is quite nice and has an inviting atmosphere and staff are all really friendly. We ordered kadai paneer, butter chicken, dal tadka, butter naan, and tandoor roti. Everything was good, good flavors and portions and we still had leftovers. My only complaint is that the restaurant week offer was a free mango lassi with our order, which was indicated to be a dine-in offer but we got it in a very small to-go cup. I thought they could have offered a larger glass for having come in and ordered a good amount of food. Other than that, we enjoyed it and would recommend.

    Vegetabl biryani, nice and spicy once you mix it up
    Jay P.

    Newish Indian restaurant in the plaza on the corner of Stevenson and Blacow. It's in between Rodeo and Cabrillo Park cafe and I've had it bookmarked for awhile. My parents were visiting and they felt like Indian food so finally had a good reason to come. I knew it was a good sign when I came at open on a Monday and by the time I had ordered people were already coming in. The interior is new and clean and had a ncie modern vibe inside. Dal Tadka: I'm a huge fan of Dal and I don't say this lightly but this is the best Dal I have ever had. It had a distinct smoked chili taste that made it so savory and incredibly good. I was getting instant Dal from Trader Joes and I can no longer eat it after this. Butter Chicken/Tikka Masala: Chicken was tender and plentiful inside of each. They didn't overly use cream and I thought the taste was very balanced. The Tikka Masala was especially nice and not overly done with sugar or tomatoes. Vegetable Briyani: HOT! buried under the gorgeously colored rice is a ghee layer that's been amplified with spices. Very spicy and tasty.

    Nalli Gosht Mutton Biryani
    Kin B.

    'Grateful for finding Masala Republic' is an understatement. Bhavan was my server and he was incredibly attentive and accommodating. Ordered the mutton, garlic naan and two cups of chai. This serves two people with lots of left overs and my bill came to $34 and change with 20% tip included! The math isn't mathing. Not sure how they are staying open with rising costs but they've been around for a year so they are doing something right. Go here if you want yummy Indian food, great service in a wonderful clean and new setting on a budget. I know.. sounds too good to be true. It's true. Thank me later.

    Channa Masala
    Astha A.

    Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday.The service is pretty fast and their butter chicken is so good and creamy. We also tried their samosas and chicken 65. Highly recommend both, they have a different take on chicken 65 which was pretty good. Our favorite was the channa masala. It was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of spices, and paired well with butter nan and rice.

    Kothimera Kodi
    Amruta D.

    This is small restaurant but well maintained. We got seated quickly. You can order from QR code. Service was good. Our server was very attentive. In starters we had kothmeer chicken. It has cilantro marination. Taste is unique and really good. This dish has some nuts though. Telangana chicken curry was spicy but not too much. Chicken was very well cooked. Butter chicken is really good. It is not sweet like other places so I liked it. Overall we loved the food and would like to try more.

    Donna L.

    Came here on a whim for first time and it exceeded my expectations. From the outside, it looks sketchy; looks small, crowded parking lot. It doesn't really stand out. It does not look inviting. But upon entering, it's cozy, quite lovely with minimalistic decor. As for the staff, he's polite and reserved. Service was decent. The food was flavorful and a bit on the spicy side which I liked. All of the dishes were a bit on the spicier side but eatable and enjoyable. I would recommend this and would most likely come back in the future!

It's just a little cold in there for some reason. We started with a watermelon spritz and the inji-puli lotus appetizer since we'd never tried anything like that, and it was very yummy and had such a nice crispy but soft texture. It was also a good portion for all four of us. We got the goat curry and the chettinad spice vegetables, and a few parathas to share. We were afraid it wouldn't be enough but the parathas are actually very filling, and also have a really great texture of both crispy and soft, and delicious flavor. The curries were good, could have used a bit more salt but good spice. The stars of the show were the desserts - this deserves its own section because omg I'm still thinking about the desserts!!! We got the gulab jamun brûlée - an amazingly well done take on creme brûlée with a perfect top, easy to crack and beautifully flavored. The filling was amazing and sweet and so so yummy. They also were kind enough to give us a complimentary chocolate cake which was absolutely amazing. I'm generally not too impressed by chocolate but the quality of this cake was phenomenal with perfect sweetness and richness. I need these two again !! Definitely recommend coming here for an occasion.

    Wow. I've never been to an Indian restaurant this posh before -- the moment I walked in I was like,…read more"woah." The space is absolutely beautiful, which explains why reservations are so hard to come by. I somehow snagged a last-minute outdoor reservation for four, but three more people joined us at the last minute. When we arrived, I asked a gentleman who looked like the manager if we could move indoors because it was cold. Even though they were very busy, he found us indoor seats in a perfect spot -- we definitely got lucky. We were a party of seven, half of us vegetarian. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, and everything was great, but the vegetable biryani stole the show for me. I don't come from India, so take this from a non-native -- it was hands down the best veggie biryani I've ever had. The flavors were incredible, and it came with raita and a chutney that paired perfectly. I kept thinking about it even after trying everything else. Other highlights: the gunpowder idli was mind-blowing, and the lotus root appetizer (my first time trying lotus root) was a delightful surprise -- great texture and flavor. The dosa was soft and exactly how I like it (I'm not into crispy dosa), and the paratha with the vegetable curry was delicious too. The meat dishes my friends ordered got rave reviews from them as well, but I was still daydreaming about that biryani. Service was excellent -- the staff were kind, patient, and especially attentive to the kids in our party. When the restaurant is busy there can be a wait for food, but trust me: every bite is worth the wait. Highly recommend Anantara if you want a beautiful dining experience with outstanding food.

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.
