Extremely overpriced. I paid over $80 for 2 people for lunch buffet with limited options. You can…read morego elsewhere for a better buffet. 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. They took a while to grab our empty plates but they were accommodating in bringing us some plain naan and sodas. Ambiance is great-- it's very clean and pretty on the inside. 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.

Got the Goat Nihari and was shocked by how well it was cooked. Good oil separation on top and a lot of depth to the broth. The goat itself was the real surprise. Most Indian spots I go to fail braised goat in one of two ways: overcook it and it's dry and chewy, or braise it so long that it falls apart but loses all its succulence. This one was both tender and succulent. Came near closing too and it was still this good. Most places keep the meat stewing all day and that's how it goes bad. Naan was standard and good. Can't wait to come back and try more next time I need a late night fix.

This is it - one good North Indian place in Bay area. I would trust if you say you know a great…read moreSouth Indian spot but I am very skeptical with North Indian restaurant in Bay area. This place changed my opinion for good. Absolutely loved the Chole Kulche and Chole Bature. Also tried the pani puri - it was good. I had better flavors of water in Vancouver but I will take it. I loved the ambience of this place - they have really put effort to bring forth Punjabi small town vibes. Kudos for having that vision. If you are a millennial or older gen this place will bring back childhood memories. From Campa soda to Goli - there are surprises if you look around carefully.

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.

When we noticed that they were serving the panipuri with warm dal, we were both surprised and curious about how it would taste. They also give you sides of chopped coriander, onion, carrots and multiple sauces to customize your flavor. When our turn finally came, I tried it a bit reluctantly... and my goodness, it was absolutely delicious. The puri itself was crisp, and the combination of warm dal, spicy pani inside the golgappa (that's what we call it) was mind-blowing. Suddenly the long line made perfect sense. Totally worth every penny. We also tried their Vijayawada biryani and chicken tikka kabob, which were good too. Customer service was great as well. We would go back for those pani puris!

3.5*s rounding up for now…read more **USP: Indian North Indian style buffet. Buffet available all seven days, weekend buffet is slightly more expensive but has a larger spread. **AMBIANCE: large floor to ceiling height but the place is small, it felt real cramped during the weekend buffet when it was packed with people. Their service area is also tight. They had to put two dishes in each chaffing dish to optimize. Weekday buffet was not as packed and i infact saw a huge corporate team gathered for lunch. ***FOOD: doesn't feel like a luxurious buffet due to lack of space but they did have a decent spread with 3-4 veggie appetizers, 3-4 non veg appetizers, 4-5 desserts, Pani puri, fresh table side naan (which was done very beautifully), two varieties of biryani, fried rice, indo Chinese items, 3-4 varieties of non veg curries, 3-4 varieties of veg curries, salad, drinks etc. As with any buffet there will be hits and misses, I for one enjoyed the varied options and the unlimited Pani puri though it was on the sweeter side. The weekend buffet was definitely worth the price tag of $23, the weekday buffet on the other day felt expensive at $20 as the number of items were significantly lower.

I'm convinced that whoever develops this chain's recipes has desensitized taste buds. What they are…read moreselling does not match the typical California palette (thinking spicy versus mild local Mexican or Mediterranean food). I've spent my whole life eating local food, and even the "mild" chicken biryani is about medium spicy. Be careful with this if your taste buds are not desensitized, and you don't need a truckload of spices and raw onions to taste anything. That said, the biryani is flavorful, and the food didn't make me sick, so I'm giving them 4 stars. They also have a pretty good score on Santa Clara County Dine Out https://eservices.sccgov.org/FacilityInspection/Home/ShowDetail/PR0301588 so that's good. This place seems to be well-managed.

This place is for eating there only. They have benches. Sunny and Love both were awesome. I ordered Chole Kulcha, Chili Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Chap, Roomali Roti; Chole Kulcha- I don't have to eat Chole with it. Kulcha itself was very good, crispy and filled with masala. 5 star Chili Chicken- Quality of chicken matters the most. It was very good. 5 star Tandoori Chicken- Quality was great. Juicy, need to eat there only. 5 Star Chap- Need to eat right away. Don't let it wait otherwise it will loose its texture and taste. Taste when it is hot, good mixture of spices and chutneys with it. Onion enhances the flavor of it. 5 Star Roomali Roti- probably the best Roomali roti. Does not matter where they make it. They put butter on it. It does not get chewy or gets dry. 5 Star Sunny and Love they work hard to make it happen. Kudos to them. Noticed, while I was dining, two people came in and expected them to deliver right away and they left. Guys, give them a break, Truck opens at 4:00pm they have to set up the Tandoor it takes time atleast 45 min. To warm up. You can't expect to serve tandoori items right away.
