Amazing taste hands down best Mumbai street side food taste would remind you of Mumbai. Wish they increase the quantity of the portion would be amazing. read more

Very disgusting!! Me and my boyfriend were doing laundry at the laundromat next to this restaurant as we waited for our clothes in the back of the laundromat we saw two male cooks come out with pans of food from the back door in which they had opened one of the guys poured some kind of meat looked like chicken dropped it on the floor and picked it back up and put in the mix of what they were doing that is very unsanitary and not safe very disgusting! They also had pans in the back area just opened in mid air with flys everywhere! I would never eat here read more

Worst customer service. If you have self respect and value it then this is not the place for you. The owner is a grumpy lady who is of the thought that she's the only lord in the whole of bay area. Absolutely nasty way of talking to and handling customers. The way she talks sounds like a slap in the face. Absolutely unwelcoming and effin annoying. Out of all our orders Methi Malai matar paneer curry was one of them which exactly had 4 paneer. Yes, you read it right. FOUR. I went and checked about it with this lady for which she got pissed and started defending herself and rudely explained that the curry comes with only so many paneer. If I needed additional paneer I had pay an extra charge. I was taken aback by her trashy behavior and pledged myself to not visit this place again even by mistake. My hubby asked for few green Chillies on the side and he too faced her awful service as she outrightly declined to fulfill his request by saying they don't serve Chillies. What trash! Seriously!??? But they served us jalapeño Naan. To the f**ing rude behavior of the owner... to hell with this place. I wish I had an option to give negative ratings. read more

Best sabudana vada in the town, fresh and perfectly fried. Service is excellent - they never fail to throw a smile at the customers. very friendly and warm! read more

As close to Bombay street food as it gets in the Bay Area. I can vouch for the Vada Pav, Paani Puri, Kulfi Rabdi, Sev puri and Daabeli read more

I normally take Bombil fry to go but this time decided to dine in. We ordered Bombil fry, Paneer makhanwala (both of which were today's specials), chapati and tandoori roti. 5 stars for bombil fry (this is the only place that I know which serves bombil) -1 star for paneer makhanwala (no where close to it being "paneer makhanwala") -1 star for chapati (pro- it was made of pure wheat, con- the dough tasted stale, the chapati had a lot of dry ata stuck to it) -1 star for tandoori roti (same con as for roti plus the tandoori roti was more like papad than roti, pro-would have taken off 2 stars but the owner/chef offered to make another tandoori roti but we had to turn it down as we were already done with our lunch) read more

The best Mumbai food in the Bay Area! Rava Pomfret is as good as you will get in Goa...yes! Everyone else on the table with me enjoyed the food and the experience as well. The owners are really nice and flexible...they cooked chicken tikka masala with mild spice for kids. We are going there next weekend as well. This is my comfort food...go to restaurant now :-) read more

Loved the food here always ! As we were in the area decided to do a takeout. Very straightforward process. A very humble gentleman took my order and informed me it would be available in 15 mins. The parcel with paper plates was ready in 15 mins as promised. Everything was tasty and fresh .. vada pav, dabeli, paneer frankie and cheese pavbhaji. read more

Initial service was kind of slow in spite of it being pretty empty, but once the food came out they checked in multiple times. We asked to make the food mild because of the rest of my party, and to our surprise, it was actually mild (most restaurants make it spicy anyway). Bhindi fry was ok, naan tasted fresh. Mango lassi was refreshing. Hakka noodles were not authentic. read more

We try to visit this place for authentic Mumbai flavors whenever we are in the Bay Area. They have amazing photos of famous and classic spots in Mumbai hung all around the restaurant which can quickly throw you down the memory lane. Specially the good old Mumbai food photos! We always try to get their bombil fry and pomfret fry- depends on availability. Their mutton Sukha is absolutely amazing- flavors and spicy levels are spot one, with nicely done chunks of meat. We also always get their Vada pav which is the closest to the authentic one we get in Mumbai. Removing one star because their chapati can be better as well as if they can use the India style pav in Vada pav, I will feel like I am in Mumbai. Looking forward to going back for some fish! read more

Any time I missed home and feel low, I come here to lift my spirits. The menu is very authentically Mumbai or Western India based compared to the normal North or South Indian food you get. The service is prompt and you don't have to wait long for it. You cannot go wrong with any of their seafood. read more

Great for Bombay street food!!! Ask them for more suggestions. We liked the masala chaas and the kulfi on the side of the good food. read more

We ordered bombil fry, pomfret fry, dahi puri and vada pav. And we were not disappointed at all!! We have been searching for mumbai style fish fry everywhere but our search has finally ended with Mumbai chowk. Owners are very sweet as well and go above and beyond with their level of hospitality. Mumbai style food in US with utmost hospitality is our dream come true! Least to say, we are going to be a regular here! read more

Amazing food and taste We ordered garlic naan and roti Balti paneer Daabeli Vada Pav Paneer tikka Balti mutton Pomfret Tawa fry with rice and daal Gajar halwa and malai kulfi The pomfret was the most freshest fish I ever had in USA in 8 years. It was huge is size and the most fresh; daal was so amazing and felt like home made Vada pav masala made me feel like back to mumbai. Definitely customer obsessed and the best gem in the east bay. The owner and management is doing a great job to ensure consistency and ensuring the same taste of food with highest quality ingredients; we spoke to few people while eating - everyone are repeat customers and the food is unbelievably great read more

Food was awesome. Would recommend people to try it once especially if you like spicy food. Misal pav and veg kolhapuri was great

I absolutely love this place. This is my go to spot for Indian food. It a nice little spot in the middle of Newark. This isn't a date spot but it really good Indian food and the ppl that work here are genuinely nice. Great for takeout as it does get crowded on the weekends. Great food. Definitely the place to be for Indian. read more

Mumbai Chowk - Chicken tikka platter!!!! - Indian Near Me - Newark, California

Used to be awesome place and had delicious food but now quality is down no taste and worst customer service

Really good food and service. We have gone back several times. The goat, the fish and the Chicken are great. Spices are just right and I loved the fact that we didn't have to tell them the spice level. Worth the drive if you don't live in the area. read more

If you are into Indian Food you got to try this place. This is a restaurant that gets it! They make their own spice combinations and the taste is rich and complex. I haven't been a fan of Indian food much in the past because I found the majority of the restaurants a little one-dimensional with their flavors. The food here is so complex and well balanced it is my go-to place for Indian Food. read more

Very poor customer service- the lady at the counter is very rude. Politely asked for napkins and her response was with an attitude. Food lacks flavors and the place looks unsanitary. Will not come back- plenty of other good Indian restaurants with better food and service. read more

Pretty good! The husband and I are always hunting for good chaat and street food dishes and Mumbai Chowk has some of the best around Newark/Fremont. We had four dishes plus dessert: Pav bhaji, papadi chaat, Ragda Pattice, misal pav, kulfi and chai. Food tasted fresh and authentic, is wasn't particularly busy at 12:30 on a weekend but seems like they have a steady customer base. Would come back for more favorites! read more

We went here after reading the positive Yelp reviews. But we were soon disappointed. Our order was a chicken curry, fish curry, Shrimp curry, fish rice plate and a bowl of plain rice. The chicken and shrimp was usual and nothing outstanding in taste. The fish however was obviously thawed from a frozen state. That is not unexpected but it was not thawed well and chewy and bit raw. We brought this to the owners attention who dismissed it as acceptable when something is fried after thawed. That was not the customer experience and taste we came to expect from a restaurant. I think the owner needs to focus on customer and their feedback rather than shrugging of their shortcomings as acceptable to them. We won't be visiting the place again. read more

Mumbai Chowk aka Amchi Mumbai! Being nuts over chaat & typical other street foods I found myself not much liking the chaat flavors we get here. The northern & southern Indian style of chaat has its own version of taste especially the Paani puri,this not being my style made me miss my Mumbai- Pune pani puri taste even more. Finally, Bombay chowk came close to my rescue. It is a decently close to a small spaced eatery. Ambience is apt to its name,walls decorated with our own Mumbai stations this place is pretty welcoming. About the service, its most certainly short staffed! With only one server( atleast on the day we visited) the wait for order is well,bothersome. With the price well suiting to the pocket the portion size served is good too. Let's talk about Food- Chaat n chaat! 1. Pani puri - This was one of the first time I had pani puri the way it's prepared for back home. Crispy puri's served with separate bowls of chutneys,one green colored coriander-mint, a tangy slightly spiced flavored chutney & the other being tamarind -jaggery sweet chutney. Both had a good runny consistency,though could be made even better. Flavors were very much there to enjoy each puri dipped in the chutneys & stuffed with the pressure cooked soft & creamy yellow peas- "Ragda" as its known for in Maharashtra. Must try. 2. Sev Puri- Fresh n crispy flat puri's which are originally used in this form of chaat. Very flavorful with every bite of the puri having good spread of the potato mash with the right amount of seasonings n dollops of sev topped over. Chopped onions & coriander spread over the entire dish added a great color & taste to the dish. Chutneys both green spicy & the sweet one added were spot on. 3. Ragda Pattice- When having the typical Mumbai style chaat over the street side,the warm Ragda simmering over the stove cannot be missed! In pani puri or with the pattice it's sinfully very tasteful. Potato pattice spread over a bowl of Ragda ( yellow peas mixture) topped with chopped onions coriander & chutneys,this dish is filling & very tasty. The added spice of powdered tangy masalas gives the dish the needed punch. A Must try. 4. Wada Pav- Wow!! My Maharashtrian palate suddenly jumped sky high... One amongst their ruling dishes! As the authentic style of pav is missing that typical wada pav taste one looks out for..but nonetheless this wada pav is a killer. Great taste,perfect flavors both are very well corporated within. The wada is good sized n served warm with lightly toasted buns. Accompanied with the onion-garlic chutney this dish is amazingly good. Absolute try. 5. Misal Pav- Transported right on to the streets of Kolhapur!! Brilliant flavors & extremely flavorful! Rightly mentioned as on the menu card- Spicy!! The tari ( red chili oil) floats well off on the sprouts. Seasoned to perfection the misal is served hot with garnished farsan,chopped onions &coriander. A typical slice of lemon is served to adjust the spicing as needed. Just to mention the sprouts here aren't the authentic "Matki"(brown small sized sprouts) used. Nonetheless the dish is packed with flavors. I loved the taste though the spice level was a little overboard for me. I recommend this dish for all who are willing to tangle their taste buds for some added spice. 6. Kalakhatta Drink- My trip down memory lane was having kalakhatta gola ( shaved ice on a stick) back home! When tasted this drink I was transported back to my memories.. Very tangy,cool & refreshing this a perfect drink in the hot summers is simply great. Also aids in digestion to the spice. A Must try. Overall,a great place for some close to home authentic foods. Recommend to try for all. read more

Food here is phenomenal. It's our weekly favorite. The curries are authentic regional cuisine. Best Indian food in the bay area. The owner is very welcoming and helps you understand dishes you may not have tried before. The specials are always worth a try read more

My every visit to the Bay Area I make sure stop by at this little eatery. It's such a nostalgic experience to dine in at this place with amazing street photography of local Mumbai street food hanging on the walls. Kheema pav, Kashmiri soda, vada pav and most of the chats are all spot on. A lazy evening with friends over some chat and chai at this place is like going back to growing up years back in India. I think that's where the ambience connects most of their customers too. A great job done by the owners of the place to recreate such nostalgia that can reconnect your brain and the palate. read more

I remember the last time I was here it was winter and the place was nice and cool inside. Today was a hot day and the people running the place decided to keep the doors open without any AC. It was hot inside. The dabeli I got last time was way better than the one I got today. The vada pav and misal pav were good. The poori bhaji we got for our daughter was OK..the bhaji was good but the puris were just flat and flaky. This is my first misal pav so I have nothing to compare it to..but I liked it...but I have had much better dabeli and better vada pav before. read more

What a find!!! I LOVED the food here. Highly recommend getting the Vada Pav, Balti chicken and the biryani. Bombay Dal and Falooda kulfi were really tasty too. It's a small casual place and is a great spot to go to if you're craving Indian food. The staff is friendly and I'll definitely be back. read more

Fabulous food and unique among the large number of Indian restaurants in Fremont. This review is for the Fremont branch on Grimmer Blvd opened recently. The coastal I Ryan cuisine is real!! The spice combinations are unique especially the dry masala dishes like fish sukha masala. Highly recommend the fish sukha masala and the shrimp curry. The naans are delicious and the appetizers are mouth watering. I recommend the dahi sev puri. This is now our favorite Indian restaurant I. Fremont. read more

I'm from Mumbai and I can definitely say that they serve the best vada pav in US! We were here last night and every dish hit a home run. We absolutely love vada pav, Dabelli, Chole bhature, balti chicken, garlic naan, pav bhaji, puri bhaji and the list goes on. Ya these are a lot of dishes and we were super hungry the price is super reasonable too This is the fifth time we visited the place and not even once we had any complains. The owners are really sweet and helpful! read more

This is truly a find - exceptional food and exceptional service. The owner clearly loves food and loves talking about food. We went for lunch at the South Grimmer location 3 weeks ago and tried the Kotambir Wadi, Misal, Vada Pau, Vangi (Eggplant) - all Maharashtrian and Bombay specialties in addition to the Chicken curry. The food was well flavored and the taste was unique and different from the run of the mill Indian restaurant in the Bay area. We visited again yesterday and found the same level of service and flavor. I recommend both the food and talking to the owner about food and the origins of his favorite dishes. read more

Worst food in the whole of Bay Area! We ordered chats, veggie dishes as well as chicken dishes. They all tasted the same - bland, watery, uncooked. Not worth the $$$. read more

Owners are very rude and they couldn't care less about their customers. Kitchen was very unhygienic kitchen and food quality was poor as well. Never going back to this place. read more

Our food was so flavorful and delicious. We ordered take-out and the service was really friendly and helpful!

Food was ok. It has definitely went down compared to before. Paneer balti was ok and veg kohlapuri was very bad. Everything is self serve there. Also no heater . If you are dinning in , be ready to eat in cold. Also they charge for onion on the side. Everything will come in use throw plates and bowls. Also felt staff was not at all friendly and got couple of rude replies as well. read more

This is the BEST Indian food from San Fran all the way down to San Jose. Today is my birthday and I am craving their deliciously spiced flavors so much!!!! Because of covid we have not had ANY bought out meals since March. But today is the day I will celebrate with Achari Gosh...... best ever. Thank you to the staff and wonderful owners who consistently deliver high quality food in a casual pleasant atmosphere. Aromatic and satisfying. read more

First time tried their Pav Bhajee It's more saucy than needs to be. Taste OK OK Bread is not what one eats with bhajee. Needs lots of iterations. read more

I ordered paneer tikka and the food tasted a little stale and didn't taste good either.

One of the best restaurants in the Bay area for authentic Marathi/Mumbai food. Their misal pav (kolhapuri style) is one of the best misal I have ever had. Balti paneer, vada pav and naan are few of the other things we have on the regular. Don't miss out their kala khatta and lime soda. Highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic and hearty food. read more

Food is amazing!! If you can handle spices, would recommend getting "extra spicy". My dad loved their Chole Kulcha. Their Kala Khatta drink is really really good. read more

The first time I ordered, it was Shimp Sukha Masala, and it was great. They aced it. However, the "Goan" Shrimp curry wasn't Goan at all. It tasted like Sambhar. I wish they either get it out of the menu, or change the recipe. read more
