    Reyasat replaces Kabila for your Indian sweets fix
    Maneesh S.

    Swung by the plaza for Indian sweets, found the business changed from Kabila to Reyasat.

    Love the weekday buffet here. Have not been here in a while, good is still good. Service was fast especially for the naan. Ambiance was nice: very roomy and lots of varieties of different choices of food items.

    buffet: $19 M-F, $25 wknd | Goat Curry (fav), Tandoori & Butter Chix (noms sauce), Saag Paneer, Pakora, Naan, Cucumber, Barfi, Kheer, & Chai

    * foodie DEETS here * - review #201 I was initially brought here after fam came for a work lunch, but no buffet on Sats back then. We tried the Union City locay later, but that was much smaller & OG. Thereafter, we came back a couple of times to enjoy this spread. T L ; D R . . . AYCE lunch buffet, 11:30a-2:30p: $19 M-F & $25 wknds (since 4/2025) w/ more items incl pani puri, chaat, & lassi. Good variety of flavorful dishes, but minimal table service. Kept having to shoo flies away throughout my 1st meal, but not by the time I just returned 4.5 mos later. V I B E S . . . After passing their bakery next door, enter into this decent sized resto divided by long banquettes, accompanied by wooden tables & padded chairs. Host/cashier & bar on the left side w/ the buffet along the back wall. N O M S . . . Tried the following: - Karahi Goat | bone-in curry is the reason I go to Indian spots!! spicy tho - Butter Chix | alwaz my fav sauce anywhere - Tandoori Chix | dry - Fish Pakora | crispy df filets, fam's go-to. Mixed Veg avail. - several Veg dishes - Saag Paneer | sautéed spinach not alwaz avail, unfortunately - 3 kinds of Biryani Rice: plain, egg (best), veg (eh) - Cucumbers | old, soggy. I eat them w/ mint cilantro chutney. - Naan | bread basket fresh to table - no soup - Choc Barfi/Burfi | condensed milk squares. too bad they only put out 1 lil tray & wouldn't refill during my 1st visit. - Besan(?) & White Pistachio Barfi | Indian fudge squares, but not creamy. Rather, grainy. Still enjoyable tho some white ones were old. - Kheer | rice pudding, mid w/ lots of soft grains & seemingly less juice here D R I N K S . . . - Chai Tea | milky noms helps calm the spice & gives caffeine kick S E R V I C E , e t c . . . Chubby man is the most friendly. Others not too approachable esp the younger female who was a freakin "mute" hating her job. (Think she had long hair). We tried asked her for things 2-3x. She straight up says nothing in return & just walks away! Rude & unprofessional af. The last time, she eventually returned w/ a brief answer. Weird not to have a place to write a tip on the cc receipt. Guess they don't want any. Prob y they're the way they r. - Return? Def for my goat fix & the price - Restroom sitch (helps gauge resto's cleanliness): decent. 2 enclosed toilet rooms w/in the ladies' to blow up, which most newbs do when Indian curry shocks ur system. IYKYK, lol. - Out the door for 2ppl: 42. - Apple Pay: Yep, who doesn't these days? P.S. If u found what I spent time on to be of help, show this (Asian) sista some love by SMASHing a reaction & FOLLOWing me if u don't already!! ;-P Thx in advance & may there be more noms in our futures...

    I went in hoping for a buffet and got exactly that! Great options for vegetarians and each dish I had was delicious. Had the butter chicken, paneer dish, tandoori chicken, chai, mango lassi, naan, and goat dish. Will be coming back when I'm in the east Bay Area. Service was quick when we needed naan and when we needed to be seated when we arrived. Besides that, it was ayce buffet. Beware of the hours but we came in 1 hr before close as all the items were still out and we were able to dine in. The place wasn't too crowded and the ambiance was great. I definitely recommend the place and will be returning!

    Food was good and music was good too. Only drawback was they forgot to bring our vegetable biryani from the order we placed and bought it after 2-3 times reminder, so we had to pack it and take it home.

    Wide variety of delicious foods. The hostess and server were very nice, accommodating, and expedient. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with lovely light fixtures and all of the buffet chafers are copper and gold adding to the regal splendor of the atmosphere. I absolutely loved it!

    Spacious bright space and friendly server Good spot to stop after our Costco run 2 veggie entrees + naan was more than we needed for lunch. Decent renditions A tad spicy for this no- spice girl but manageable

    So happy to find an Indian buffet in Bay Area. Many restaurants stopped doing buffets once Covid hit. This one is located in the mall with Ulta as a main anchor. Plenty of seating and very clean inside. You are seated at a table and you can help yourself. Beyond the typical Indian rice, there are also chicken biryani and vegetable biryani. Chai tea and water are served and fresh naan bread is brought to your table. Refills of naan are given and kheer and fruits are available as desserts.

    It's a good spot to try a variety of Indian food. The food itself weren't bad, really liked the butter chicken and Tabdoori fish - both had great flavors. I wish their salad bar was a bit more than just cucumber and onions. They only had one option for desserts. They do bring out fresh naan once you've been seated. Overall, decent spot - I'd definitely come back. They even have a bar there.

    Birthday dinner for my beautiful niece. We ordered disco fries, goat empanadas, crunchy quinoa +…read moretuna poke salad, kalbi short ribs, ginger yum salmon, wood-fired sprouted cauliflower. For desserts, we had olive oil semifreddo, pandan flan, and mango sticky rice. The foods were very flavorful and amazing. The service was top notch. Our server Maria was awesome. She really took care of us. When we check in, we informed that one of us has peanut allergy, but when our salmon order came, we saw it came with peanut (which is the og menu) so she gave us an additional salmon without the peanut. On top of that she also offer us sodas but we didn't want it. She also ask if we want more kalbi since the chef had an extra plate, so yea of course we took it. The desserts were delicious too. They're unique and not overwhelmingly sweet. Thank you Maria for taking care of us! We appreciate you! We'll be back for sure! The ambiance was beautiful for dating, family time, or group time. It's not overly noisy.

    Been waiting to visit this place for a while! I'd heard great things from my cousin and a few…read morefriends, and I was even more excited when I found out it was opened by James Beard Award-winning chef Stephanie Izard. I loved watching her on Top Chef, so I've definitely been curious to try it. I'm actually in this area pretty often to charge since it's close to my daughter's school, so I've seen the restaurant from the outside plenty of times but never had the chance to go in. We arrived right when they opened at 10 a.m., and I was literally the first person through the door! Just a heads-up: they won't seat you until your entire party has arrived. Luckily, there's a really nice waiting area in front of a fireplace. I absolutely loved the decor and ambiance. It's comfortable and cozy, with lots of plants and beautiful views of the outdoors. It almost gives you a little Napa feel, which I really enjoyed. As we were looking through the menu, I didn't realize the dishes were meant to be shareable. I thought they were more like individual meal-sized plates. I ordered the Goat Empanadas with limey huacatay, along with a Bluestone Lane Coffee latte. Once everything started arriving at the table, it made much more sense that the menu was designed for sharing. The goat empanadas were really good and didn't taste gamey at all. The limey huacatay paired really well with them and added a nice brightness. The portion was decent, although I thought they were a little pricey for empanadas. The latte was good as well. We really loved the ambiance, so we're definitely planning to come back. Now that I know the menu is meant for sharing, next time I'd like to order a few different things for the table. I already have my eye on the scallion focaccia! We'll be back!
