The chicken 555 was good and I enjoyed it but the Hyderabad chicken dum biryani had a very weird burnt flavor and was not enjoyable at all. The chicken itself was very dry and flavorless (minus the aforementioned burnt flavor) and I ended up just finishing the 555 which was genuinely good. I only went here because the other biryani places were closed and ultimately would not recommend unless you only want appetizers and everything else is closed. read more

Felt restaurant is not for vegetarians, visited over the weekend but food was bad, ordered panner sizzler - felt like it was triple cooked and burned, ordered idly for my daughter - initially server said not available and then microwaved straight from refrigerator, egg biryani was decent, pulao was not freshly made. We went in a group of 5, non veg food was definitely better and with this experience we were charged gratuity as well of more than 20$, only visited the place as food in pakka local hyd branch was very tasty. read more

Good cocktails, food and ambiance. Great service too. We ordered many cocktails and they were all good, especially the Spicy margarita. read more

My new favorite Indian spot in San Ramon & I've been looking to land a spot like this one for a loooooong time! I ordered take out the first time & their butter chicken was amazing so I knew I had to go back and dine in. I happened to stop by on a weekend and they had lunch buffet and it was my dream come true. The food was delicious. The ownership and staff were so professional and welcoming. They have a ribbon cutting coming up and said to spread the word (9/16/24 530pm). Great service and very clean and tidy. Can't wait to go back! read more

Everything was delicious, great service! I really enjoyed the Chinese food with the garlic naan.

Amazing food and great service! The malai kofta was out of this world! The Tindora cashew nut curry tasted great as well!!

Went first time after reading thru so many good reviews, Wrong day/time: Went Sat night around 7:45PM. There was private party on other end of same room with blasting music, more than human ears can handle. Was too tired to pursue another restaurant so settled for outside seating with a bit less though still loud music. They should have closed for private party or have party with less music and chaos so others can enjoy our dinner. Utter headache! Food: Jeera cocktail has no kick. Kadai paneer was okay. Ulavachaaru Biryani was also ok, no wow factor though. One that hurt the jaws was ROTI. NEVER order this. It was hard cardboard, gave up after trying one piece. Service was slow and clumsy since all focus might be on private party. Overall disaster - mad at myself why did I sit thru blasting nonsense music in cold eating cardboard. Will I ever go again? NO. Lot of Indian and other cuisines around to try read more

Amazing food, dining was very elegant and bright. Service was great and everyone was so nice. Highly recommend to come with family.

Good food, but menu was only online with no physical menu and the online menu has no descriptions at all. I'm not Indian and I don't know what everything is just by name. Without any description you have to go look up things online to figure out what the food is. I would highly recommend that this restaurant have descriptions for their menu and get some physical copies. That being said, the Ghee roasted dosa was yummy and you could definitely taste the ghee. The butter chicken came with basmati rice which was extremely fluffy. The butter chicken was a little sweet, but overall yummy. The minus one star is for the menu lacking any description. read more

I just tried today the business buffet at pakka local today it was good with different options in starters and also North Indian and South Indian curries , it's good for the quick lunch and their ambiance is also so calm and pleasant and the front staff is also good read more

None of the ontap beers except corona was available what were mentioned on the menu. Men's bathroom, there was no soap or paper towels. Outside chat place, all food were uncovered which was very unhealthy and unhygienic. read more

GREAT spread. My friend and I went there early for buffet. South Indian and North Indian dishes - vegetarian and meat dishes. Quite the variety and tasted great. Friendly and attentive service as well. More folks need to get familiar with this place, although it did start getting more patrons closer to 1. read more

Overall service and food was very poor. The most of the food was delivered cold. It seems that Dosa was done but waiter had no time to bring it to the table. The entire order was delivered in about 5 different intervals. Simple order of a fried puri was delivered almost at the end. Puri cannot take that long to fry. There was nothing like "Mugalai" in Muglai Chicken. The "Pepper Chicken" was not sizzling hot temperature wise. It appears that majority of the food was cooked in advance not as an individual order. The only thing that was goo was a "Taj Mahal beer that was not brewed by them. Okay for Ambiance. The music was very very loud. You cannot have a conversation. read more

Stopped by this place late in the evening. Disappointingly, their menu options are limited after 10 pm. Nice place and very spicy biryani per our taste. Friendly staff. I wish they had ambient lighting to make dinner feel cozier. read more

Food not that great . Too expensive a place , they need check other restaurants pricing for quality of food read more

We tried this restaurant on a busy Friday night. The waiter was attentive and was helpful when we ordered. Dinner was served on beautiful aqua dishes and presented beautifully. The food is a great value and I can see why it's already a favorite. They try very hard to make it a good experience. We ordered butter chicken, tikka masala and egg masala with rice and naan. Everyone had different favorites. We will definitely be back! read more

Had a good experience during Sunday buffet. Overall the food was tasty and lots of selection for a good price. The servers were attentive and kept the naan coming to our table. They could keep the area around the chafing dishes more tidy but the inside is spacious and has a good vibe. read more

We went for lunch buffet on Sunday (~$25) around 12:30 PM. Food was lukewarm at best and taste was too ordinary for a restaurant. Nothing tasted like something that would make us visit again. I'm sorry to say this, we went expecting a Pakka Local meal but ended up with Pakka Waste. Ambiance was good though but we didn't go for that. Note to self, if a restaurant has a soft opening 4 months after Grand opening, think again. read more

They do not know how to run a kitchen. I ordered take out and was given a pick up estimate of 35-40 min. It took them 60 min to give me my food. No apologies, no acknowledgment of my extra time waiting. In an area where there are plenty of Indian options, I recommend skipping this place. I wasted my time so you don't have to waste yours. read more

Excellent dosae, Manchuria and chicken items including lollipop. Do not expect toomuch spice but moderate to average Indian taste... clean restroom and good ambience read more

Bad food. At least the items should to be named so we don't order them again. The biryani served is nothing like anything I ate before. I couldn't make out if it is vegetarian. But there was no meat either. read more

It was our first time went to try there buffet with family, very disappointed with there food and service half of the food finished from buffet waited long for refill , food was also cold on cheffing dishes. And other than this there was no service, hope they will work on it. read more

Ambience is good. But food was pretty terrible. They have large variety of things to order. I went with two other folks and none of us liked the food we ordered. read more

Poor service . Don't have even basic stuff . Quality and price of food is reasonable. Ambience is ok .

The food was flavorful with an excellent presentation. The service was quick and the staff were full of energy. I highly recommend coming here for a nice family dinner read more

Good flavors across the board, decent ambiance and service was quick. I will definitely come back.

We also tried chole and methi malai paneer, which were bit different but extremely tasty and flavorful. Loved everything we ordered! read more

Pakka Local is a new place in San Ramon, we went for lunch on a Thursday- it was decently crowded for a Thursday afternoon, this place is tastefully done and has very classy look Service was excellent, the reccomendations we got are 10/10 Ordered Chicken 555 - it was nice but I would have preferred chicken 65 Goat curry, butter naan and potato kulcha - one of the best naan I had in the Bay Area, kulcha was excellent, tasted very fresh Goat biryani - star of the show, goat was cooked 10/10 and love the flavour Overall I think it's worth for the price and would be back in a heartbeat read more

Not worth it. We ordered chilli gobi, mutter paneer and Kadhai chicken. All 3 were bad but the chilli gobi was especially sour. We asked manager to take that off and he declined. Well. So much for service. Given options, no need to give this place a chance. read more

WORST PLACE EVER ! RUDE Very rude customer service. A guy speaking Telugu on the counter does not know how to pack order properly and yells at children and customer. He screws up our order and when we went back, he asks us "The bag is open??!!" Implying we stole the food... they just lost a loyal customer and will never go back again. read more

The ambience was nice and clean, which set a pleasant tone for the visit. However, the food was extremely average. I came here for the Friday lunch buffet and was quite underwhelmed. The taste of the food was disappointing, and the buffet spread itself was not very impressive either. Overall, it didn't live up to expectations. read more

We went for lunch buffet on the weekend. It was just horrible. First of all, it is Telugu style food not a north indian style food. Choices in buffet are very limited. Some of the dish labels we can't even b'coz its has traditional names without any description. Only 2 choices in vegetarian curry. In Non veg curries, chicken was extremely dry, oily, watery and very spicy. Overall not many choices whether it's main course, appetizer or desert. Definitely not worth $24 per person They don't serve fresh naan/breads on the table. Cold, chewy naan you have to get from the buffet. Service- did not use much Ambiance- ok. Nothing great. read more

Worst customer service During a recent takeout order at a restaurant, I received a non-vegetarian meal despite ordering a vegetarian dish. When I called to request either a refund or the correct food, the restaurant intentionally stopped answering my calls." Worst customer experience ever. Will not recommend this place read more

The service was top notch... have to thank bhanu for suggesting some of their signatures. must try their dum biryqni & goat Sukka.
