I started with a mango lassi - loved it! We got samosa chaat to start. It was delicious! Lots of texture and flavor. We ordered palak paneer and butter chicken with rice and garlic naan. The palak paneer was seriously amazing! I could tell that they went the extra step of toasting the spices and then pouring the hot oil over the dish before serving. It was perfection! The garlic naan was some of the best I've had. The butter chicken was a little sweet for my taste, but my husband loved it. The staff was friendly and really happy to have us it seemed. The decor is pleasant. We were there at 2 pm and there was a steady stream of folks coming in. I hope that bodes well for their success!!

Fav spot for South Indian food. It is such a beautiful restaurant and it has a ton of character…read more The decor has the airs of a street market. You can tell they really put so much work into the wall art as well as the installation of a decorative power line, to make it feel like you are dining outside on a nice, balmy day even if it's actually the middle of winter. The pani puri station is so fun and whimsical, the server prepares each bite for you while you pick which sauce you want to go with it. I felt like I was at a night market. We also ordered the pav bhaji which was hot, buttery and delicious. Tied together with an order of garlic naan and chicken tikka masala, our meal was sumptuous and so satisfying. This is our fourth time coming here and we will definitely be back with our friends and family.

Food is as usual great here!…read more But I'm not writing this review about the food. I wanted to share a wonderful experience I recently had. Just two minutes before entering the restaurant for a snack, I tripped in the parking lot over a parking stopper and fell flat. After being seated, I realized my knee and elbow were bruised and throbbing with pain. My daughter asked for some ice, and the young man at the reception immediately brought a pack of ice. Surprisingly, he also returned with band-aids, alcohol strips, and gauze. I was truly impressed by this kind and thoughtful gesture, and I wanted to share it here as a different but very positive experience.

Arriving within lunch hour (1245pm) to pick up the food, there were only two customers (same table) eating in. Additionally, strangely, this restaurant comprises an entire business warehouse, it is located within the south Milpitas business center. FOOD I appreciate the top notch takeout containers. Saag corn lunch tiffin - food did not mix - very light - curries are thick - rice is tasty Mutton curry - bitter aftertaste and undertones - two big pieces with cartilage whereas other were dry chunks of meat - very expensive nonetheless Garlic naan - lots of raw garlic chunks - very expensive running at $4 SERVICE - rude - dismissive - customers eating in literally had to scream CAN I GET THE BILL and CAN I GET A BOX... I have never been to India before and do not know if this is the standard but other Indian restaurants here are not this bad??? - DOES NOT UTILIZE APPLE PAY; literally screamed at me, CAN I GET THE CARD AMBIENCE - looks like an Indian party all day every day - I wouldn't eat here myself LOCATION - a business warehouse within the south Milpitas business center - lots of parking - interesting entrances Skip. Not worth it. Not tasty. Tastes old. Rude service.

The restaurant is super clean and spacious, with plenty of tables that can accommodate large parties. Service was super friendly and one of the reasons I will come back! The butter chicken was pretty good, the garlic naan was very garlicky but a little bit burnt, and the butter naan was great. Total price was $33 for an order of butter chicken, garlic naan and butter naan. Portions are kind of small for that price point, but overall my cravings are satisfied!

Raunak is part of a corner plaza and there's parking available but it could be limited during peak eating hours. It has a classy, beautiful interior that has great ambience for dinner with friends or a date with your partner. The staff were friendly, nice, and attentive. I ordered the mutton biryani! It had such a beautiful and colorful presentation from the veggies, meat, and rice combined. It was a bit spicy but it was paired with a great amount of raita to mellow out the flavors. Lots of pieces with bone in, it was tender and delicious. The staff were so nice in setting the mood for our birthday guests by even playing happy birthday in the background. Great experience for fine dining in Milpitas!

They were happy to make a reservation for us as well. For me personally, I ordered the Butter Naan & Chicken Tikka Masala. To be honest, I have had better tikka masala elsewhere... but it was pretty decent here! It was REALLY CREAMY and the flavors still came through. Chicken wasn't tough and the portions were fine. The Saag Aloo was flavorful and spicy! The consistency was really thick too. I also tried the Mutton Biryani and it was delicious! Flavored really well and the sheep was tender. Quite spicy!

It's just a little cold in there for some reason. We started with a watermelon spritz and the inji-puli lotus appetizer since we'd never tried anything like that, and it was very yummy and had such a nice crispy but soft texture. It was also a good portion for all four of us. We got the goat curry and the chettinad spice vegetables, and a few parathas to share. We were afraid it wouldn't be enough but the parathas are actually very filling, and also have a really great texture of both crispy and soft, and delicious flavor. The curries were good, could have used a bit more salt but good spice. The stars of the show were the desserts - this deserves its own section because omg I'm still thinking about the desserts!!! We got the gulab jamun brûlée - an amazingly well done take on creme brûlée with a perfect top, easy to crack and beautifully flavored. The filling was amazing and sweet and so so yummy. They also were kind enough to give us a complimentary chocolate cake which was absolutely amazing. I'm generally not too impressed by chocolate but the quality of this cake was phenomenal with perfect sweetness and richness. I need these two again !! Definitely recommend coming here for an occasion.

Wow. I've never been to an Indian restaurant this posh before -- the moment I walked in I was like,…read more"woah." The space is absolutely beautiful, which explains why reservations are so hard to come by. I somehow snagged a last-minute outdoor reservation for four, but three more people joined us at the last minute. When we arrived, I asked a gentleman who looked like the manager if we could move indoors because it was cold. Even though they were very busy, he found us indoor seats in a perfect spot -- we definitely got lucky. We were a party of seven, half of us vegetarian. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, and everything was great, but the vegetable biryani stole the show for me. I don't come from India, so take this from a non-native -- it was hands down the best veggie biryani I've ever had. The flavors were incredible, and it came with raita and a chutney that paired perfectly. I kept thinking about it even after trying everything else. Other highlights: the gunpowder idli was mind-blowing, and the lotus root appetizer (my first time trying lotus root) was a delightful surprise -- great texture and flavor. The dosa was soft and exactly how I like it (I'm not into crispy dosa), and the paratha with the vegetable curry was delicious too. The meat dishes my friends ordered got rave reviews from them as well, but I was still daydreaming about that biryani. Service was excellent -- the staff were kind, patient, and especially attentive to the kids in our party. When the restaurant is busy there can be a wait for food, but trust me: every bite is worth the wait. Highly recommend Anantara if you want a beautiful dining experience with outstanding food.

Never tasted so sour Rasam in my life. I am yet to try other dishes so giving the benefit of doubt to the restaurant by giving neutral 3/5 rating. Perhaps other dishes are not as sour as what I experienced. The waiter however was very nice and the ambience good. This looks like mostly a takeout place near Walmart and Big Al's. I will be back to try their biryani and give a final review.

Excellent food and service! Love that they have weekend special thali…read more We loved the Paliyapalam Chicken appetizer stir fried with coconut and shallots. It had mild spice which elevated the other flavors. Non-veg Thaali was truly exceptional with an eclectic mix of chicken and goat curries, sambar rice based Biryani, an omelette and Manchow soup. Chocolate Mousse was an interesting desert choice. The only downer was a single roti was included, wish there were a few considering there were lot of curries. My friend tried the Veg Thaali in which he liked the Vada. He found the curries a bit underwhelming. I enjoyed the Chikoo milkshake, reminded me of childhood. Definitely plan to visit again soon :)

I understand they mark up the prices because it is one of the only Indian spots in this business-affluent area. The service was good.

A little bit of a small space so it gets pretty packed for lunch. I was wanting to try the regular menu items. But that is not available during the lunch buffet.
