    My husband and I ordered butter chicken, chicken momo, garlic naan, and chicken choila. The picture says it all

    CHICKEN BIRYANI CHICKEN CURRY NASA
    Amber L.

    Overall good quality food. Service is quick. We had the chicken biryani which was very flavorful and moist. Then had the Gurkha chicken also very nice. At 12 pm the place was busy but service was good. We would come back.

    This was my family's first time at the Gurkha Kitchen. I have been wanting to try it for some time now. We ordered butter chicken and chicken biryani for the kids. My wife and shared a chicken thali. We were worried if the butter chicken would be too spicy however, it was mild, buttery, tender and above all tasty. Chicken Biryani portion was very generous and was just right. Chicken thali was an experience was lots of different taste and texture. We had a wonderful meal and will look forward exploring other menus.

    Food was excellent. The momo meat is infused with fat giving making it both flavorful and not dry. Service is fast despite a full restaurant. Ambiance is lively.

    What a delicious lunch! I brought my parents to Gurkha and we enjoyed everything. Service was very friendly and I learned this location is the original Gurkha Kitchen. We ordered a variety of dishes to share-Chicken Momos, Goat Curry, Thalli set chicken and garlic naan. Loved all the flavors. The momos were filled with tender ground chicken in a delicate wrap and served with a curry dipping sauce. The goat curry was very tender and savory. My parents especially loved this dish over rice. I loved the Thalli set which is served with a variety of sides. The dal (black lentils) and the sautéed veggies were so good and the restaurant offers free refills! The chicken (bone in) curry was flavorful. The garlic naan was soft and fresh. Perfect for all the sauces. Delicious and I'll definitely be back!

    Dining in may have provided a better experience. We were so enamored with the San Ramon location last night, we went to try the Sunnyvale location since we were in the area. The servers were friendly and brought us complimentary chai tea while we waited for our food. The restaurant was smaller and more decorative than the San Ramon restaurant. We ordered our food to go and were slightly disappointed, partly because our bag tipped over on the way home and the tandoori chicken sauce got over every container and inside the bag. The chicken momos were shaped more like Chinese dumplings/Japanese gyozas instead of the unique little volcanos we had last night. They were still delicious. The tandoori chicken was not as juicy since we lost a lot of the sauce. We tried the lamb biryani. It was spicy and good. Definitely use the yogurt sauce they serve with it. Loved all the big chunks of lamb. We will go to the restaurant again and dine in to get the full experience.

    Steamed chicken momo
    Irene C.

    Was not busy on the weekday for lunch so quick ordering & food came quickly. The chicken momo is super juicy! Def taste the various spices but was not too spicy and the sauce was really good. The chick thali brought back the taste of Nepal and was super good. I was secretly hoping the waiter would come around with the caddy for free refills but we're on the states so I'll keep the wishful thinking!

    Goat THAKALI THALI GOAT
    Arsha T.

    Their service is great. Ambience is cozy filled with Nepalese decor. We ordered a lot of things, but my favorite is their thakali thali (goat, veg, chicken) - Nepali Approved! I order it often. WaiWai sadheko is more like WaiWai chatpate, but it's yummy - order it. Their momo is not that good.

    PANEER TIKKA MASA
    Kim l.

    Picked this spot to have a nice romantic lunch with hubby. We biked over and were promptly seated. Ordered: Goat thali: hubby said this was really good and would order again. I tried the non goat portions and everything was tasty! Paneer tikka masala: 4/5 sauce was good and paneer was good too. Garlic naan: 5/5 yum! Friendly service. It did take a while for our food to be served but we weren't a big rush.

    CHILLI CHICKEN
    Shruti D.

    Our go-to spot for takeout. Our daughter loves the chicken momos, and the chilli chicken is always on point spicy with a hint of sweetness. Tandoori is well-marinated and flavorful, not burnt. The chicken Gurkha thali is warm comforting homely meal . Casual ambiance and consistently satisfying food.

    Veg fried rice

    We saw this next to "new india bazar" when we visited on the weekend for some last minute grocery shopping. It has a big parking lot right outside. It's open till late. Then we saw it "open" on yelp late last night on "uber eats" past 9 pm also and giving out promotions like "free item over $30" and "buy 1, get 1 free" on butter chicken, channa, gurkha chicken. So we decided to give it a try. In $41, we got: - chicken momos (regular-medium spicy) - 3/5 the mixture was ok but shell was slightly more doughy for me if i compare it to Everest momo food truck. I wish they gave the chili hot sauce for dipping on the side like most momo places. Their orange sauce was lame. Reducing 1 star for sauce :( - butter chicken 4/5 - it was buy 1 get 1 free which was a good deal. It was more tangy than most places but i think it showed it had less processed puree. It did taste better today as leftovers with home made rotis. - fried rice veggie 3/5 - a full size portion of it came free when you order for more than $30. It was dry for me but maybe if you order a Manchurian dish it will pair well

    buffalo platter
    W W.

    Stopped into this restaurant after binging a bunch of Pani Puri videos--had to try it for myself. Pani Puri: super fun and fresh; crisp shells, tangy water, and a great kick. A bit too sour for me but quite refreshing. The dining room is spacious and super clean, with unique wall decor and lots of certificates. We also got the buffalo platter--the side salad was surprisingly good, and the buffalo had that savory, jerky-like chew I love. The chicken tikka pizza came loaded with cheese. Very rich and tasty :P Overall, good flavors, a clean space, and welcoming vibes. I'd recommend it.

    Momo/ bhutuwa

    We were a bunch of friends searching for a good authentic restaurant in San Francisco, but someone recommended go to Sunnyvale. Even though it was a bit far, we decided to try Gorkha Kitchen--and it was absolutely worth it! The food was amazing, and we were all so happy with our experience. Highly recommend everyone to give this place a try!

The owners are so kind and friendly, always chatting with everyone in the restaurant, they create a very warm and welcoming environment, and you can tell they really care about what they do.

    We got two different vegetarian wraps to go: the Lebanese fries wrap and the falafel wrap. To our…read moresurprise, the fries wrap was the better of the two, as the garlic aioli and whatever other flavors were added made it tasty. It definitely could have used the coleslaw and pickles promised by the menu but they weren't in evidence. That was the problem with the falafel wrap, too: the menu promised hummus, cabbage & tomatoes salad, and pickled turnips, but those ingredients weren't anywhere to be seen. There was some lettuce instead, but lettuce is a poor substitute as it just becomes immediately soggy and adds no flavor. If you've ever had falafel in Israel, you will be disappointed by the falafel here, unfortunately. (Israeli falafel shops each make at least a dozen toppings from family recipes, so you put as many veggies and sauces in as you can to create a flavor party in your mouth.)

This one was disappointing enough to feel worth documenting. My boyfriend and I ended up here after attempting to go to Treehouse nearby (which had an hour wait--unsurprising given the concept). This restaurant was a short walk away, which actually worked out well given how congested the area was, and we walked in optimistic. The space itself is very large, but nearly empty for a weekday evening. It felt family-owned and casual, which I usually love--many of my favorite restaurants fall into that category. Unfortunately, the experience didn't reflect that warmth. We were given a different menu than other diners, which immediately felt odd. Service wasn't overtly rude, but it was noticeably unwelcoming--almost a "why are you here?" tone rather than hospitality. We ordered hummus and feta, both of which were surprisingly expensive for the portion and quality. We were told bread would arrive automatically with the hummus, but it didn't--despite asking multiple times. When it finally arrived, it was poorly cooked and no longer served any purpose, as we were already well into the meal. Despite the restaurant being far from busy, our mains took about 30 minutes. One dish--a kebab--was fine but very forgettable for a $30+ price point. My dish, dumplings in a yogurt-based sauce, was honestly inedible. I left it untouched and mentioned that it didn't taste good. The response was simply, "Oh, so you don't want a box?" No attempt to fix the issue or even acknowledge it. What sealed it for me was the overall condition of the place. Dirty cutlery, a generally rundown interior, and a lack of attention to cleanliness made it uncomfortable to eat there. I'm not picky about ambiance when the food and service deliver--but here, nothing quite worked together. The whole experience felt very turn-and-burn, as if the restaurant relies on proximity to a popular area rather than repeat customers. I left feeling like unless you're part of a specific in-crowd, this isn't a place that's trying very hard to win you over. Personally, I wouldn't return, and I wouldn't recommend it--especially given the pricing and the many better options nearby.

Nahita Bakery operates a humble storefront with large glass display cases showing off their delicious baked goods, fried pastries, and stewed meats and vegetables. As a first timer, it was a feast for hungry eyes! We came in on a weekday afternoon and were hankering for a snack before dinner. The staff welcomed us in and gave us a quick introduction to their offerings. My mouth was already salivating at the sight of the golden brown pastries and at the mention of olives and cheese, I was committed! We ended up getting a coupe of their items including achmas (pastry made with sweetened dough) and pogaca (pastry made with buttery dough) - one filled with olives and one with the feta cheese. We also got a borek (pastry made with phyllo dough) with ground beef and asked to be cut up so it can be shareable. The olive achma was fragrant and soft when torn into. The olives were flavorful and distributed well within the bun. The feta cheese pogaca was flavorful and was layered into bun. I think it would have tasted even better warmed but it was delicious nonetheless. The distribution of the cheese could have been better to better fill my mouth with those flavors. The borek was a star but too heavy for one person to eat. The fried dough was crispy and paired with the ground beef made for a hearty snack to go with something warm to drink. The other pastries and entrees looked good and although we didn't have the stomach space for it this time, we know we will be back when we are in the area to try something new. Perhaps we will get to try their coffee next time! Overall, Nahita Bakery does an amazing job bringing their Turkish culture through food to the South Bay. Their quality of work is shown in the food's presentation, ingredients, and flavors and the clean open dining space elevates the dining experience here whether you're in for breakfast, lunch, a snack, or dinner. Their large parking lot shared by other small businesses is fantastic for those looking to get in and out on some errands. If you haven't had a chance to try some Turkish pastries, you are in for a treat at Nahita Bakery!

    I got the chicken wrap and honestly it was really good ! It had great flavor and was very filling!…read moreA+ ! But unfortunately it took really long for just one wrap and the customer service wasn't the best. The younger lady there was very friendly and had a great attitude and spirit. On the other hand when we would ask questions to the older lady we were met with what seemed to be an attitude. This was our first time here and maybe it wasn't her best day so I understand but it was unfortunate that this was our first impression. Other than the place was very lively and in good spirits!

    wow words do not do…read morejustice to this meal. some of the tastiest food in the south bay is in an incredibly unassuming restaurant next to the VTA station. Jubba is serving up some of the best food i've ever had. As a newbie to somali food, I am now hooked. we came in on a friday around 6:15 and there was a steady group of people enjoying their food. we ordered at the counter and took a seat outside to enjoy the weather 1 Sambusa 1 chicken wrap 1 beef plate the sambusa arrived first and initially I thought Samosa in my head. But the sambusa has a better structure, holding its shape after multiple bites. the Dough is softer but still crispy. it came with beef , chilies and other vegetables. so so good. the perfect appetizer for us. it came with a spicy green sauce that seemed to be the common sauce for every dish then the stars of the show. The sizzling hot beef plate served with veggies, rice and a salad was unbelievable. add on a lemon and some more greens sauce and you're in for a treat. the rice alone was so flavorful and it tasted like there was meat drippings on top. the beef was so tender and fell apart in 1 bite. I was blown away with the dish the chicken wrap... man. I'm not sure what kind of bread, pita was used but it was fantastic. a huge wrap with lettuce, onion chicken, sauce and other veggies. It was so messy and hard to eat with your hands so we resorted to eating with a fork and knife. Unreal. Unreal. massive portions again which are a theme here. But holy smokes this was so good. The chicken has a nice char, but is also juicy and saucy. the spongy pita neutralizes the bombardment of flavor from the meat, and the veggies compliment everything with some crunch and texture. Service was great and very helpful. They were extremely friendly and a delight to talk with. We will be back 5/5
