After living in the Bay Area for over a decade, I can confidently say I haven't had food this authentic until now. BanRasiya is truly the best. We ordered a spread of: Mutter Kachori with Aloo Sabji & Sattu Kachori with Baingan Bharta (Both were incredible) Chole Bhature and Lauki Daal Gulab Jamun for dessert Everything tasted like a home-cooked meal. A special shoutout to their house-made carrot and lime pickles--they complement the dishes perfectly! Beyond the food, the owner, Preeti, is a large-hearted and amazing host who makes you feel so welcome. They offer daily specials, so there is always a pleasant surprise waiting for you. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Came through Gilroy on a road trip recently and tried out BanRasiya with the family. The owner, Ms.Preety was enthusiastic and helped us choose the authentic Banarasi cuisine items which is their specialty. Was blown away by the high quality food, kind service and some unique flavors that you don't get anywhere else in the Bay area that easily. Good ambience for sit down and plenty of nearby parking available. Loved the Litti chokha , Bedmi kachori with potato and the Chana Bhatura. The paan drink/thandai was delicious too. We will definitely visit again when in the area. read more

Bought 3 of the "pick 2" (sandwich and soup) and 1 whole sandwich. Total was $72. I initially thought that was a lot (prices not posted) but figured the portions must be large. After receiving our food, I realized the sandwiches were pretty small. The soup size was appropriate. Based on what we received, I believe the price was way too high. $18 for a small turkey sandwich is way too much. Unfortunately, we won't be back. The taste of the food was mediocre. Honestly, Panera is way better (and 1/2 the price). read more

If stars could speak, they would line up endlessly for Preety. Not just for her food, but for the heart she pours into every creation. She is more than an exceptional chef--she is a storyteller, weaving love, warmth, and memories into each dish. Every plate she serves feels alive with emotion. We have tasted many of her dishes, and each one carries its own soul, its own story. Her momos, especially, are unforgettable--without question the best I have ever had in the U.S. Each bite is comfort, joy, and pure magic. Preety's cooking is not just about flavor; it's about feeling. You can taste her passion, her care, and her devotion in every mouthful. Her food feels like home, like being held, like love made edible. Experiencing her cooking is a gift--one that lingers long after the last bite. read more

Really a very authentic and Banarasi taste food Staff is very nice and cooperative Overall its really a great food and great service Will visit again definitely read more

The chicken curry was nice and tender. Poori and naan was also great .Had a good time

We ordered Indian street food and a vegetable sandwich. The sandwich was delicious and so was the alu tikki. Preethi, the owner, recommended some items which turned out to be very tasty. The place is close to Gilroy Premium outlets. Excellent service. read more

Stopped by here after a 7hr drive and everyone was starvinnnnnng! Walked in: ok (thinking) it's not gonna go great if the food sucks. Food: (1) packages naan: warmed with some butter put in Pyrex dishes, same with Pav for pavbhaji. (2) pani puris were stale (2a) pani from pani puri was smelt old. (3) raita: was off putting curd waaaay tooo sour (4) daal: hardly had salt (5) kheer: bubbling hot but waaay too sweet. (6) Samosa: prolly premade and heated up (7) some roll: prolly also premade and heated up. The Indian lady seemed short staffed as the other two girls weren't really helping her. But she was trying her best; this place definitely isn't a 4.5 star place. Our experience today = 1 star I'm not sure who had great food here...but it surely wasn't us. read more

The food was delicious, my new favorite place; if you call directly and ask for anything Priti will get it done for you, and even help you order the best food! I asked for: vegan, takeout containers with no plastic, enough food for my whole large family, with my non-veg sister getting the butter chicken and naan. Everyone loved it, we got veg biryani w tofu, plain roti, special roti without wheat (besan instead) chickpeas Chana masala and daal lentils. All spectacular. Highly recommended, I plan on & have been eating here every week; just keeps getting better. read more

Best service ever and the food is so flavorful! We love it here and the owner always gives us something new to try. The fresh poori and naan are to die for! You must try this place! read more

Stumbled upon this charmer while in town. Upon entering the owner was very friendly and welcoming. I paid for the buffet--a reasonable $20--all made in small batches. The owner made sure to explain food i didnt know--much appreciated! Had the mango Lassi, as well as the naan and a yummy fermented yogurt bread...never had it and it was oh so deelish. I definitely will be coming back and bringing my momma with me! read more

Nastiest coffee I have ever had . They can't even do cappuccinos so gave me a blend of disgusting.

Absolutely lovely ladies here making delicious food! I can't recommend them highly enough! I love Indian food and this exceeded my expectations in every way. I kept telling myself to eat half and enjoy the rest later; but I was unsuccessful and cleaned my plate. The restaurant is open and airy with a bit of outdoor seating. You will be happy here and you'll leave with a happy tummy. read more

Food is amazingly authentic and tasty. And staff is super friendly. It was so tasty that everything is finished. I will come again for sure. Ambiance is super cool as well. read more

We had been to BanRasiya with family for lunch. We had the lunch buffet which was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! They served hot and fresh bature and poori, and had lots of vegetarian options in the buffet. We also liked the dessert options. Food was the perfect amount of spice and was very tasty. To top it all off, the ladies that work there are very kind. Great service and ambience! Highly recommend :) read more

The food is amazing! Hoping they eventually add Rajma or Dosa since there isn't a place anywhere south of San Jose that you can get it, overall food is a 10/10 read more

Amazing experience come here to enjoy good food, to be greeted warmly, and to enjoy a calm atmosphere

Overall food and service was good. Had litti chokha, pav bhaji, chole batura, veg thali. Will come back again.

Love this new restaurant, they've wisely kept the beloved American options from Cafe 152 Bread Company that made this spot a local favorite. The quality is just as good, if not better - fresh ingredients, perfectly crafted sandwiches, breakfast, coffee and all those classic flavors we loved. What makes this place even more special now is the addition of authentic Indian cuisine that's absolutely incredible. It's rare to find somewhere that excels at two completely different cuisines, but they've pulled it off beautifully. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty American sandwich or want to explore bold Indian flavors, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend supporting this gem! read more

Good and unique food. We enjoyed the different flavor of Indian food. The service is quick and friendly. They also have activity books to keep kids engaged, which we appreciated. Will come again! read more

First time here for Sunday breakfast on Father's Day. No other customers were here when we ordered or ate. We are hoping for their success. My wife had the pancakes with strawberries and blueberries. Then an order of Samosas. Spicy, authentic and Very good. I had an Apple fritter. It was stale and I left more than half of it. Coffee was fine. We will return for another try. We like to support our downtown small businesses. read more

Food was great, and the owner was the sweetest person ever. She sat us inside a couple minutes early so we wouldn't have to wait in the hot sun. Very patient and talked so politely, very homey vibes. Great choice, 100000% recommend! read more

Food Service Ambiance BanRasiya in downtown Gilroy has quickly become one of my favorite spots. The food is fresh, flavorful, and comforting, while the staff and managers--past and present--are always polite and kind. The peaceful ambiance makes it the perfect place to slow down when life feels too fast. I often stop by in the mornings after my night shift in Fremont, and it's become my reset spot when I can't focus at home. I've even met like-minded people here, like a family walking their dogs, which made the experience even warmer. If you're in Gilroy, this is definitely a must-visit! read more

Stopped by Ban Rasiya for lunch today. Enjoyed everything I had from the buffet. Was impressed with the variety of offerings. Met the owner who is SO sweet! She even took time out to plate up a few items for me. And the gal helping out behind the counter was so nice! Love the place and the environment. Will definitely be back. And thank you for the smoothie on the way home - delish read more

I don't do many Yelp reviews, but we stopped at BanRasiya during a road trip, and they really deserve a shout out. Not only was the food delicious, but they went out of their way to be extra kind to our 8-month old daughter (who absolutely loved the fresh Roti!). We were really touched. If you want to have a great meal and support some of the kindest people, give them a try! read more

This place is very warm and welcoming, the staff are super sweet and very accommodating for food allergies, great food and drinks would totally recommend 100/10 coming again read more

Rice was not cooked properly.They are serving packed naan in buffet. They are not maintaining the hygiene. My experience was not good there.

Super pricey for mediocre food. Never seen Chicken tikka with bell peppers. The british would keel over with shock at their signature dish. The owner seems to want make you spend way too much. The locale around was good. read more
