    Sev Puri
    Bharti S.

    This review is been pending for many days so thought of finally writing it down. I & all my friends love their Pani Puri none of the store bought puris come close to this establishment they sell good quality products, the crunch of the puris & freshness add to the taste & experience of Pani puris that's the reason I have been going to this shop for almost 2 decades. I just want to inform that they only sell all the ingredients necessary for making Pani Puri & chaat u need to do it yourself at home as per your taste. I don't mind it, given the excellent quality I think that's the reason it's little expensive which is ok for us. I have tried all their food like - Bhel mix - ( I add chopped onions, jalapeños, tomatoes, avocado,fresh coriander & chutneys as per our taste) Papdi Gathiya (excellent taste) all my friends love it especially my Gujarati friends they always tell me outside India this is the best & authentic taste. Chaat puri- ( I customize it at home adding potatoes, onions, tomatoes , chutneys & Sev ) also I add it in Bhel mix too for added crunch. Sev - this is used in various chaat items like Sev puri , Bhel puri , Pav Bhaji , Dabeli etc. Mohan Thal (sweet) I loved it. Pani puri paste ( I customize it at home) Their 3 chutneys - Mint & Cilantro, Red Chilly Garlic & Tamarind Date chutney ( sweet tangy & spicy) which is good & I love that we don't have to make it from starch especially when u have the craving to have it suddenly (which I often get it) can't live without chaat. We have taken all of the above at various occasions like Holi, Diwali, Birthday parties which was a thundering success everyone in our friend circle love this shop. Their customer service is excellent I always preorder for parties & they have always taken extra care In packing the puris & chutneys. Plus I love that it's a small local mom & pop shop I & my husband always support local business especially from past 2 yrs it's very difficult for small business to sustain. I urge everyone to please support all the local business.

    We got two packets of puris from Pani Puri co. Puris were soo good and stayed fresh for couple of days! Cons: 1. Timing of this place (wish they could stay open for longer on weekends) 2. Puri's are quite expensive.

    Pani puri. Gol gappa. Puchka. While you decide what name you want to call these perfectly round, puffed, deep-fried, crispy, whole wheat flatbreads, I'll be too busy devouring these little bite-sized flavor explosions! Pani puri is hands down my favorite type of chaat (layman's term: Indian tapas). I consider myself a connoisseur having tried pani puri nearly hundreds of times in my life at every chaat restaurant/stall I have ever been to. No one even competes with the pani puri from Pani Puri Company. General pani puri instructions for novices: The puri is tapped gently by your finger to open a crater on one side to insert fillings. Fillings typically include some combination of: potatoes, chickpeas, sprouted moong beans, boondi, tamarind chutney, and mint chutney (not sold here), and then the puri is submerged in the pani (spiced liquid). It is then placed wholly in your mouth before chomping down and releasing all the flavors. I'm salivating just thinking about pani puri. PPC is not a restaurant. Instead, they solely produce only a limited list of items to purchase as ingredients to assemble at home. The quality of ingredients and consistency of each puri is astonishing. Yes, you can buy pani puri at your local Indian grocery store for cheaper, but they will not be as fresh, as tasty, or have the same exquisite texture and crispness of the ones from PPC. The ones at a regular store will likely break much easier and leak pani, defeating the point of pani puri on the first place. Whenever we host a chaat night, pani puri from PPC is a MUST and a guest favorite so much so that it is now specially requested! They have a limited list of 8 items they sell (see picture). Descriptions below: 1) Pani Puri- the iconic staple that you cannot leave without buying at least 2 packets. You may think one is enough, but it never is! Honestly the remainder of the menu is optional, but in order of most to least recommended, I like: 2) Bhel Mix (Really delicious. If you take this mix, add finely chopped onions, tomatoes, black salt, and tamarind/mint/coriander chutney, it makes for a quick savory and satisfying snack/appetizer.) 3) Chaat Puri (These are tasty as well, but flat puris so you can add toppings on top. Personally I prefer pani puri over chaat puri.) 4) Sev (Usually kept as a topping for various chaats-- this one is nice because it's super fresh and the right crunch factor.) 5) Papadi Gathiya (a great munching snack) 6) Pani puri paste concentrate (it works if it's your only option. We got this twice and both times we had to 'fix' it slightly by adding other spices/ chutneys. Apna Bazar sells pani of different flavors in their refrigerated section which is so much easier and provides variety.) 7) Mohan Thal (usually not a fan of Indian sweets, so I've never tried) 8) Kid-sized Puri (I've never bought these, but if you have smaller mouths to feed, you should buy these as the regular-sized puri may not fit into kids' mouths whole.) Note: they have limited hours making it hard to go on a weekday if you work a normal job & commute. They used to be weekdays only. The good thing is they are now open on weekend mornings to satisfy your cravings. Trust me-- You won't be disappointed! M-F: 8am-5pm Sa-Su: 8am-12pm Also, it's CASH ONLY, but there's an ATM nearby if needed to feed your addiction. :)

    Got a packet of 50 puris and the pani puri paste from here and the quality was really good. Service is pretty quick and was in and out in less than a minute! As the menu says, one pani puri paste is sufficient for the 50 puri serving. This is going to be my go to place now for pani puris!

    They make a batch of puri( crispy fried flour balls) almost everyday. The puris are fresh and pani (water) paste is consistently good too. Just add water to the thick paste and viola water is ready. I usually mix mint + cilantro + green chilli + ginger paste in this paste to give that green color and make water more flavorful. Add some roasted cumin, lemon, red salt and this can take the water to next level. This pani puri is always satisfying. The mathris are usually ok. I mostly get pani puri when some of our friends visit to enjoy this chaat together. They only accept cash. Also they close at 5 pm so plan ahead. You should try this hidden gem if you like pani puri. PS - this is not a restaurant. It's a togo place only.

    Came with a coworker who was curious to check it out since we're both veg*n only to find a sign on…read morethe door that they've started serving meat, so that was a little disappointing. But we were undeterred and ordered anyway. I'd gotten the palak paneer, my favorite Indian dish and my usual basis for comparison, with kulcha naan and it was okay, but nothing to really write home about. The palak paneer was a bit sweeter than I had expected, but other than that, just fine. My coworker and I also split vegetable pakora that came with a somewhat spicy sauce (I am a spice wimp, but he is very much not), and those were pretty good. I don't quite remember what my coworker got as his main, maybe one of the dal dishes, but he also thought it was fine. The location itself is pretty small, and seems to be more for takeout than sit down diners, although that is what we did. Parking was pretty easy in the plaza, but that might be because the pizza place next door appeared to be closed? Things felt slightly dingy, but I think maybe in truth things were just a bit worn, right down to the Corelle plates which seemed like they had been in service for a long time. Decor is pretty sparse, but the lady behind the counter was nice enough when we were ordering. Overall, not a bad experience, but also not much of a draw for me. But if you like your Indian food a little on the sweeter side, maybe this is the place for you.

Tonight I was craving a home style chicken and rice dish similar to what my mom makes . Now I know it's not possible to get that from a restaurant, but the closest to that is the Donne biryani preparation that a few places offer in the Bay Area. So I looked up Yelp and found this spot. The fact that it already had 4.9 stars was reassuring but I didn't put too many expectations on it. But what I did was call the place and make sure they'd be open by the time I made that 28 mile drive. I spoke to a person named Sagar who took my order and told me to take my time getting there and drive carefully! Husband and I got there around 9:30pm and it's a cloud kitchen setup with kitchens in the back and a point of sale kiosk and counter at the front. As instructed I called Sagar and he came up to the counter with my food, and also let me know he had added a free dessert since I drove all the way from Hayward . Husband and I got home and immediately dug in and what can I say, the flavors totally took me back to my mom's kitchen. The Donne biryani was bursting with taste, and what made it superb was that the flavors were in balance, with neither the spices nor the aromatics being overpowering in any way. The other dish, the pepper chicken was epic by itself, and should have been enjoyed with a bread of some sort, because the biryani didn't need any accompaniment. As if this meal wasn't divine enough the cherry on top was the pineapple kesari dessert that Sagar kindly added to our takeout bag. Thanks Nalapaka, for a taste of home, away from home !
