Dedicated 1 person assisting may be coz of less occupied. Vegetarian friendly. We ordered Malai Kofta, Paneer Parat, Saag, Assorted bread Basket, live chaat tray, Biryani, Mango lassi and other drinks. Overall food taste was good but I would say live chaat tray was pathetic. Pakora of live chaat trays as so cold plus very hard to bite. Khaman dhokla added to it, was not nicely cooked. Attached some pictures here for presentation view. Hope you get an idea from this review.

The food came quickly. The noodles and paneer was good and was a good combo The soya chaap was very soft and went well with a garlic naan. I also ended up trying the rabri and it was loaded with creamy bits. Overall - must try place

The KB chaat platter was soggy papdi, sev, and flavorless dahi. We asked for sweet tamarind chutney and were handed Heinz ketchup packets. The butter paneer was sloppy, salty gravy with no flavor. Ambience: Nothing about the place matched the branding. The overall experience felt careless and disappointing. Service: The service was poor. The server dropped the food on the table. and walked away before we could ask for anything. For a table of six, they gave us only two menus. . To top it all he gave us the bill with no invoice. He had already charged us 20% service fee but did not give us the details. So he was expecting us to give him additional tip. This was a terrible dining experience

June specials - Raj Kachori was the only dish we liked in our meal, the thetcha paneer tikka was super bland and the hariyali marination to the paneer didn't leave any taste in the mouth. 50/50! The two regular menu items we tried were Dahi Galouti and Garlic Hakka noodles - BOTH disappointed :(. Maybe it was the chefs bad day, but.... Anyway... Ambience is great and service is excellent!

Was the perfect size too, didn't feel sluggish or too full after eating which sometimes happens when I eat at places that have massive ones. I also tried Andhra Garelu for the first time and it's now my new favorite Indian food. For those who aren't familiar, the best way I can describe it is a savory doughnut without any frosting or toppings (taste a lot like potato/french fries to me, but staff told me it was made with flour not potatoes). It was the perfect thing to dip in the sauces I had leftover from my dosa. The staff here are also incredibly friendly and I enjoy coming here to catch up with them. You can't miss this spot if you are in the Pleasanton area and looking for tasty meal with excellent service!

I have been to a few of their other locations before, but this was my first time at this one. We…read morecame for the weekend lunch buffet around 11:30 AM, and within about 20 minutes it got pretty crowded. The food was good overall, with a solid variety: chicken, mutton, and fish curries, biryani, several vegetarian dishes, mango lassi, sweets, curd rice, puri, vada, noodles, and hot tea. My personal favorites were the carrot halwa, mango lassi, and biryani. The only downside was how they handled the naan. Instead of having it at the buffet, they serve it directly to the table. With the rush, it was really hard to get any, we waited almost 20 minutes for our first (and only) basket. It would be much better if naan were available at the buffet or if they circulated it more frequently. On the plus side, they were quick about clearing plates. Prices are reasonable: $24.99 for adults and $11.99 for kids, with kids under five eating free.

This place is worth a try if you love some good authentic kebabs. On our first visit, we were so impressed and pleasantly overwhelmed by the Kevab and Tikka options that it took us another visit to try their lovely tasking "Lucknowi Chicken Biryani". Must have their mutton seekh and mutton shaami kebabs - tender and delicious! All three tikkas we tried were good, paneer, chicken malai, and chicken tandoori. I'd skip the chicken chapali, the other dishes are that much better. Overall a 5-star place and likely my go-to for kebabs in the near future. Give it a try!

It was on the spicier side but a good spice level. One of the employees who I presume was the owner was telling us they are planning many to do hibachi style with a mix of Indian, Japanese, Italian, and American. Hence the grills. Service was fine. It was a bit difficult to get ahold of service at times but in their defense, there was a large party that came in after us. Great for groups!

Walked around the building looking for the entrance. Tripped at least once on uneven payment. Upon entering I was greeted, given a menu, assigned a seat at the bar. Seeing it was a drink menu, I asked for a food menu. After consultation with bartender, I ordered. He gave order to waitress. Never saw him again. 5ish minutes later, waitress came over to inquire what I wanted to drink. "Water" i replied. Water came 12 minutes later with my food. Offerings: South India fare: soup, entrees, salads, entrees, vegetarian, non-vegetarian. Also pasta, India habachi. Bites: Dakshin Chicken Chettinad (18.99) med. Spicy. Small bowl with big spoon -boneless chicken pieces slowly braised in a savory with many spices (garlic, cumin, black pepper, star anise, funnel seeds, kok slaps...), south curry leaves, and coconut. Every bite deliz. -very condensed savory mix with plentiful Unami. Hotness from peppers not chilis. Tandoori garlic naan (3.99) ordered this. Got plain. Tasted plain. Not spiciness. Desired garlic not to repel vampires but to lower my cholesterol. Didn't discover discrepancy till I checked receipt. When finished, I asked the new bartender for bill. He called waitress. She came over and asked can she clear plates? "Ok" I said. She did and disappeared. Asked bartender again for my bill. Decor is lots of bright lites, big dining area, 2 flatscreens tuned to sports. A fish tank with no fish, lots of hanging faux leaves from ceiling & the left wall. 3.5 stars Food wonderful. Service & decor underwhelming. Doubtful repeat.
