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.

Have been to their spot in Santa Clara and keep DoorDashing them from time to time…read more This time gave them a visit for dinner with friends. There were 11 of us. The folks here quickly arranged a table for us. We were meeting to celebrate a birthday in the group. The staff helped stash the cake for us too. The live pani puri is the spotlight. This is something that takeout cant give full justice. They have a variety of pani flavors some of which my kids really liked. All our food was brought out in time and the staff was helpful throughout the dinner. Also, the ambience of this place brings out the 90's nostalgia which is a bonus.

Fun new eatery to check out, Hyderabadi cuisine! We grabbed lunch at Hashtag India in Milpitas and…read morehad a great experience overall. We ordered the Pachimirchi paneer, chicken tikka burger, veg puffs, garlic naan, street-style noodles, chai, and falooda, and every dish was flavorful and hit the spot. They are known for their very generous Mandi dish, which is a Yemeni dish that gained popularity in Hyderabad due to Yemeni immigrants. It's a combination of flavored rice and a variety of meats. The restaurant was super busy, which speaks to how popular it is, but the service was pretty slow & they were out of many food items as a result. The restaurant has regular seating and, in addition, cute closed booths where you can sit at a low table in the traditional Indian way. They also have some funky prison booths with handcuffs, etc. If you aren't in a massive rush, the food is definitely worth the wait for some solid Indian fusion and street-style favorites. I will be definitely going back to try their famous Mandi Ambiance: 10/10 Service: 8/10 Food: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Seating: indoor & privacy booths Parking: Ample, free parking available Price: $30-$50 per person

Rich without being too heavy. Mandi is a Yemeni dish that gained popularity in Hyderabad due to Yemeni immigrants to the city. It's a combination of rice and meats. The flavors are more Arabian. Served with Yemeni schug, a green chutney, and tomato onion sauce. I tried fish Mandi and absolutely loved it. The rice was seasoned with hawaij and toasted raisins and almonds, and the fish was nicely crispy and covered in a sauce similar to tikka masala, very tasty. They have a few different kinds of delicious yellow dal that make a great accompaniment to Mandi -- spinach, tomato, mango pickle. The menu is very extensive, with a wide range of Telugu dishes. They have some fun little touches -- Mandi booths and a kitschy jail cell table, which apparently replicates a popular Mandi House in India. The service is very nice and welcoming.

Great food - super tasty!…read more But the location is terrible. Kind of depressing. They are located in what appears to be some sort of a warehouse in an industrial area. Low ceilings, bad lighting, zero decor. Zero ambiance. A shady vibe.

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 :)

Stopped by for Friday lunch. Tried their Fish thali. Fish was tender and yummy but Fish gravy was…read moreso sour, I felt acidity while eating it. Same story with Rasam. 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.

Initially we came here for chai and pakoras but our LO wanted to eat goat curry and naan at 4 pm!!…read moreSo it had to happen. Glad that I got to try it- Goat was juicy, well cooked, flavored. Flavorful but not extremely spicy gravy. Garlic naan- one of the best naans in the bay area!!! Naan traditionally does not have yeast in the dough, has to be kneaded in a peculiar manner, is made fresh daily and rolled, stretched out thin and cooked in the tandoor or similar apparatus.. they nail all the points that make naan distinct from other Indian bread types.
