When I lived in India, we would go to bikanervala to satisfy the sweet and street food cravings. Seeing one in SoCal makes me so happy! We tired a whole bunch of sweets and some savory treats. Everything was so good. The lady at the counter, I think her name was Shilpi was so sweet and kind. The ambience is so beautiful and restrooms are clean

Deluxe thali
Natalie L.

I haven't had much Northern Indian food before, and the stuff I had here was delicious! The owner was really friendly and helpful when it came to recommendations, and she even gave us a complimentary special puri dish! It was filled with yogurt, pomegranate, and chutney, and it made a really balanced and refreshing bite. The yogurt itself that came with some other dishes, like the veggie paratha and deluxe thali, was absolutely fresh too. I also loved the daal and aloo subzi puri (WHICH WERE HUGE). The puri that came with it were spiced and texturally really interesting. Man, the prices are pretty great too, but maybe that's just the Bay Area resident in me who's used to things being at LEAST $18. Counting down the days until I come back, especially for their carbs. Drooling.

Seasonal Thali

1st time visiting for Sunday lunch. You order at the counter and pay. Quiet atmosphere, flat panel TV switched off. Ordered Seasonal Thalis, you give your table number. It takes about 20 minutes. They have ready made snacks (Farsan) and Indian sweets. They have Indian sodas, Limca, ThumbsUp, Jaljeera, Mango Lassi, Yummy. The Seasonal Thali had Paneer Makhni, Dal, Basmati rice, pickle, Nan, Yoghurt, Onions and Shiro.

If you're craving authentic North Indian flavors, Bikanervala is a spot that delivers on taste and quality. I tried the Paneer Butter Masala, and it was absolutely delicious -- rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. The Basmati rice was fluffy and fragrant, pairing beautifully with the paneer. The Garlic Naan was soft, well-buttered, and had just the right amount of garlic kick. To start, I had a Samosa, and it arrived piping hot -- crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. The dipping sauces (especially the tamarind and mint chutneys) were spot on and really elevated the appetizer. Overall, Bikanervala nailed the classic North Indian experience. Whether you're a longtime fan of Indian cuisine or just getting started, this place is worth a visit! The place is pretty clean and new too! I liked it. They also sell pastries / desserts as well. The workers were nice and super sweet too. They did check on me to see how the food was. I'd recommend them!

Yummy food! Snacks and meals if you order the thali, it's a cute place with great service and good ambiance! Will def be back

Paneer and butter naan
Amisha S.

Honestly this place was not good at all. My piayz kachori was gross, it looked like they just put it in the microwave. I ordered another raj kachori because that's what I wanted but she gave me piyaz and didn't even refund my money back ... Raj kachori the outer shell was fried in bad oil, and full of sweet yogurt u couldn't taste any of the fillings. Paneer was sweet, Naan was k. All flavorless and sweet. Their number system they need to work on. They gave my food to another order so I had to wait another 20 minutes for my food. I had to tell him I have been waiting forever. I really just wanted my money back but it's an Indian restaurant so what can I expect, no refunds. Horrible place I would never come back.

Paneer pakora (4 pieces total, we ate 3)
Kaleend D.

Amazing food and taste. Staff is friendly too it is self service and you have to place order at counter. There are water filters for fresh water. The paneer pakora had some stuffing in it which made it taste nice and fresh. The pyaaz kachori was delicious. The deluxe thali was the highlight. The laccha paratha, the daal makhani, shahi paneer, the sweet all absolutely spot on. Loved it.

The most kind and helpful staff. The staff had great recommendations and even taught me how to eat the pani puri. They went out of their way to offer great service. Very clean and pretty establishment. Food was great and delicious. Definitely will be returning!

Sunny S.

A friend of mine recommended trying establishment since they open recently. The owner happened to be present and was extremely helpful and friendly. I ended up taking a pound of the Bengali sweets, which were delicious and reminded me of my childhood days growing up in India. Also tried their Pav bhaji which was also delicious. I would highly recommend Trying them out

The deluxe thali
Ajitha M.

India is always close to my heart so indian food is soul food. Ask me to rate the food and my nostalgic bias kicks in . I am harder on indian restuarants then others but bikanerwala passed my test. Ambience 5star Food 5plus stars Service 5 star Must try the onion kachori.. Loved ever bit of it... only downside was the disposable plates and silverware

Falooda
Poonam M.

Was excited to try this place as my dads family is from Bikaner. Really was looking forward to ordering a Raj Cahori but they ran out the day before, we order papdi chaat instead but it was just average and very small portions. Chole batura the larger size at $14 came with 2 batura and tiny bowl of chole , chole were on the spicier side, but decent taste , but dont order the double batura when there is barely enough chole for 1. Dhokla was ok , a little dense, but not overly sweet. Ordered falooda ice cream , was a complete disappointment as it texture was very grainy , there was no tukmaria or rose syrup in it either. I probably would not go back. Rasmali was good. Saag and makki roti , i was told roti was on dry side

Hello! Do you have any options that have no onion / no garlic? Also, is everything all vegetarian? Sounds to good to be true!

Hi, yes we are completely vegetarian. Our items with no onion/garlic are the chole, dal kachori, matar kulcha, and all the cold chaats with no green chutney.

I asked for menu to do takeout. After a good amount of time, I decided on the crispy Oyster mushroom, eggplant tofu clay pot, a side of rice, and a passion fruit green tea. It came out to a whopping $50. Got home and settled in to eat and surprisingly I didn't eat much. The crispy mushroom was decent and reminded me of popcorn chicken. However, I didn't like the chili oil sauce it came with. Way too many chili flakes in the sauce made me cough. Soy sauce would have been better. The eggplant tofu was put in a box container and because it was very oily, the container became mushy. They should consider a container with a lid. Tastewise it was okay. Could be a bit more salty. The rice was cooked well. The passionfruit isnt going to be the best you'll ever have. At first sip it almost tasted like water and passionfruit syrup which almost offended me as an avid tea drinker. However, a couple more sips and you can slightly taste the tea. The tea flavor definitely needs to be stronger. Overall the taste for me is like 3.5. Im giving them a 4 because service was friendly and even for takeout orders, they give pretty big portions. My order was enough for 2 very hungry people or 3 servings. I'll be able to eat the food bit by bit for the rest of the weekend. I would also add that most of their entrees are $20 or more each so expect the bill to add up quickly if you want to try multiple things.

Vegetarian Lunch Buffet $14.99…read more Highly recommended for its flavorful dishes, rotating daily menu, and outstanding value at $14.99 for an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet. I arrived a bit late during peak lunch hour and missed some items, but everything I tried was still delicious. The quality of ingredients and careful preparation were clearly noticeable. My favorites were the taro balls and a couple of other veggie-based fried ball dishes. The dessert section was a highlight for me, especially the almond tofu and Aiyu jelly, nostalgic favorites that tasted surprisingly authentic. The only downside is that the space can feel crowded and the floor is slightly uneven. Despite that, it's an easy 5-star experience. Great value, variety, and I'll definitely be back.

The mainstays such as the porridge and lightly brothed side dishes are also things I look forward to. From various melons (veggie eg winter) and radishes and tofu, there are so many tasty options. There's usually a few wok'ed dishes but also a few fried goodies like taro sesame balls and crispy meatless meatballs. I also like the soup available tho I usually skip it unless it's hot n sour. There's also a ramen bar but I can do that at home as last resort meal, so I never understood why ppl do this. But thats just my opinion. But my favorite thing is the dessert and beverage bar. You can make boba milk tea with fresh boba and milk tea on tap. There's usually two other tea options in addition but the highlight for me is the shaved ice. With all the toppings to boot. Grass jelly, tiger sugar, condensed milk, custard and more. I can't describe how this always makes me excited to no end. Especially in the summer. The price has gone up to $16/person for dinner now, but as always no tip necessary so it's still a crazy deal in my opinion. The seating area is also small so if the higher prices keep crowds down, I'm totally fine with that.

We ordered the honey cornbread, hanger steak, brisket pasta, and hojicha fig latte. The honey cornbread was good, but a little too sweet for my liking. The hanger steak came with chimichurri, fries, and eggs. The steak itself was okay, but the chimichurri definitely saved it and added a lot more flavor. The fries were a bit too salty for me and also felt slightly undercooked. The brisket pasta was delicious, but definitely on the heavier side. It was tomato-based, although I couldn't really taste much of the tomato because the spice from the chili took over most of the flavor. The hojicha fig latte was good and tasted like a pretty standard hojicha latte. I couldn't really taste the fig at all, although fig does have a much more delicate flavor profile. Service was alright. We tried to flag down the servers a few times, but most of them seemed to be hanging around by the DJ booth and weren't really paying attention to the dining area in general. Overall, the food was definitely unique and there were some things I enjoyed, but I'm not sure if I'd personally come back.

I loved the variety, especially the mutton and lamb options, which are such a welcome change. There wasn't a single dish I didn't find satisfying. My husband really got into their lamb pita bread soup with all its flavorful additions. As for me, the Shanghai wonton soup was a standout; that unique, seaweed-infused broth is just incredible. The mutton bread sandwich was perfect--savory, not greasy, and the bread held up well. He also ordered their spicy braised beef stew, which had a lovely slight mala kick and deep flavor. But the noodles! They feel truly homemade with an excellent texture. Recently we tried their toothpick lamb and it was fun to eat. Perfect to go along with drinks.
