    Raj kachori

    Service was ok, order and then they will call the number when order is ready. We ordered 2 Thalis, chole bhatura, puri Bhaji and Raj kachori. Raj kachori is overhyped and expensive. All items in Thali were blend and all curries were tomato puree. Only chole bhatura was good. Restaurant was clean but try to come off peak hours else difficult to find table.

    Decent space with good seating space, regular ambiance, nothing great this place gets super crowded during the evenings, we had to wait 10+ mins to place the order, it's self service. Food came quickly, we tried Pav Bhaji : below average tasted more like tomato puree Chloe : decent Sandwich : highlight of our visit, very tasty

    Sev puri
    Preet P.

    Went here for the first time and decided to order some basic items to test the place out, chole bhature, aloo puri, and sev puri. I actually meant to order dahi puri but didn't realize until later. The sev puri was quite dry and didn't have the usual chutneys, which was disappointing. The aloo puri was about a 4/10 for me, it just didn't settle well on my palate. The only dish I somewhat enjoyed was the chole bhature. It was okay, not the best I've had, but tolerable. I totally agree with other reviews. If you're very hungry and just looking for something filling, this place will do the job. But if you're going out for a flavorful, enjoyable dinner experience, I probably wouldn't choose this spot. On a positive note, the restaurant itself was very clean, the staff was nice, and they have a large selection of sweets (which I didn't get a chance to try).

    The food here is average overall. There are plenty of other spots that do specific items much better, sandwiches at Anapoorna, raj kachori at Garam Mirchi, and burgers at Urban Kitchen, for example. The main advantage of this place is the variety; it works well for groups or families where everyone wants something different. I'm a bit surprised it gets as crowded as it does at times. That said, the sweets are excellent and probably the main reason I keep coming back, definitely my go-to spot for Indian sweets.

    Bikanervala is a chain from Delhi, offering sweets, chaats, breads, and North Indian vegetarian curries. Their most iconic item was the Raj Kachori, an oversized puri (crispy hollow shell) filled with diced potatoes, chickpeas, moong dal, and tamarind water, topped with a bhalla (lentil flour fritter), all doused in a sweet, creamy yogurt and topped with crunchy sev and tamarind & mint chutneys. The impressive looking chaat was cool, creamy, sweet, savory, and spicy all at once, but the real highlight was the presentation. Even more delicious than the chaat was the Deluxe Thali, which came with laccha paratha, tandoori naan, boondi raita, onion/cucumber, pickle, rice, a semolina sweet, and a choice of three mains: a dal, a vegetable, and a paneer dish. I had the chole, a chickpea curry made with a dark spice mixture; the palak kofta, spinach dumplings in a pureed spinach curry; and my favorite, the paneer makhani, made of paneer cubes in a creamy tomato curry. Each of these was perfect for dipping with the flatbreads, and my favorite was definitely the soft, crispy, layered laccha paratha! Overall, the food here was delicious and on point--everything came at a great value in a quick, clean counter-service setting.

    Pyaz kachori

    Went on a Saturday. Ample parking space around. The place was packed. Liked the decor on the wall depicting the timeline It was self service. You order at the counter and you pick up the food once they announce your number. Got the pain puri which had an option to upgrade to suji pooris. Tasted amazing! Also got the pyaz kachori- this could be better. The filling was slightly dry The chhole Bhature were the highlight. Perfectly puffed up Bhature and really tasty chhole. Also got the the thali which came with mix veg, paneer butter masala and dal makhani, raita and achar. It also comes with 1 laccha paratha and 1 naan. They didn't have galea but replaced it with a peda. I wish they let us pick our own dessert Also ordered the masala soda but unfortunately they don't have ice Got a bunch of sweets to go as well

    The restaurant has a good variety of Indian street food , snacks and entree type dishes. They also have a variety of Indian sweets The seating area is big and was pretty clean. Tried the Pav Bhaji and Raj Kachori. The taste was decent, but not memorable enough to make me want to come back. The dish prices are reasonable , and hence can be a good option if someone lives close by. May come back to try some other dishes.

    Bhel snack

    Over the weekend, checking out another on checklist in Fremont area for Indian cuisine. This is a popular global franchise originating from India since 1904, and opened in USA back in 2017 and in Bay Area just last year. Lots of foot traffic Saturday evening to enjoy the "chat" dishes as well as dinner entrees. Did a quick glance to photos menu and actual dishes being served on tables and decided to order - chole batura, bhel puri, raj kachori n hot tea. All items were fresh and tasty, especially with "raj kachori" which seemed like local favorite. A signature item - large crisp shell stuffed spiced potato, moong beans, topped with yogurt, pomegranate seeds and variety of chutneys..it was yummy! The bhel dish was over tangy and wifey returned it back. They quickly made another plate which was much balanced in taste. Since it's 6 months old, spoke to one of the guys there to re-arrange the layout..as there was unnecessary cross traffic, they said they are still figuring out the dining layout..as water is placed one corner, napkins placed right in center. Hope they figure that out, for ease of incoming traffic and seating. Food quality is on the spot- will come back to check few other items......oh they do have Indian sweets/ saviories section. Got a sweet box of Bengali sweets(rasmalai, chamcham,etc) which was delicious too (Rangoli is still our go to).

    Khandvi
    Anna B.

    Some items were really great - blew it out of the park. Some were meh. We tried a bunch of items togo. Shocked at how neatly everything was packed, but a lot of single use plastic made us sad. Khandvi - 2/5, a bit too sweet and oily. Not like the ones I'm used to eating in Mumbai Chole bhature - 5/5, best chole in the bay. Tangy, flavorful, rich - ghee aromatics paired with raw onion was really something else Mix veg paratha - 4/5 tasty but reminded me of haldiram frozen paratha. Thali - 4/5 - while gravies are tiny in portion, this was a great way to sample everything. Loved the chaap curry and Rajma , but the paneer kadai was .. meh. Overall will be back to try more stuff, and get the iconic chole again. Hope they don't change the chefs

    Mix veg paratha
    Vibhuti V.

    I recently visited this Indian restaurant and was blown away by chaat, paratha and Indian dessert variety dishes. The kachori chaat dish is must try. Fresh, tangy and just the right balance of flavors. Mango lassi was thick, creamy and refreshing. Paratha was soft and buttery. Everything was absolutely delicious. Just a note - this restaurant is super crowded on weekends. If you are hungry please order online or else need to stand in longer queues

    Online pickup order - Sunday evening Items: Raj Kachori Chaat, Onion Kulcha with a side of Chole, and Paneer Paratha with a side of Dal Makhani. The place was bustling, and the pickup process felt disorganized--no clear system or designated spot, with people moving around. Management could definitely improve this. On the positive side, the staff was friendly, asked us to wait five minutes, and even explained which bag had which items when handing over the order. Food: Raj Kachori Chaat - The shell was old and chewy instead of fresh and crisp. The filling of potato, moong, and chana topped with yogurt and chutneys was decent and flavorful, but overall the chaat was let down by the soggy shell. Paneer Paratha with Dal Makhani (side $3) - The paratha was oily, made with maida instead of wheat, and the paneer filling lacked taste. It was soggy and heavy with oil. The dal makhani portion was very small for the price and lacked depth of flavor. Definitely not enjoyable. Onion Kulcha with Chole - Portion size was again very small for the price. The kulcha was extremely oily and soggy, though the stuffing was spicy. Chole was just okay. Overall: Portions are too small for the price, food is oily and lacks flavor. Unfortunately, not worth it--I don't think I'll be coming back.

    Dahi bhalla

    We visited the newly opened Bikanerwala, and it was definitely bustling with a big crowd. Despite that, the service was impressively quick, which was a nice surprise. We tried quite a few dishes - Chole Bhature, Pav Bhaji, Paneer Tikka Platter with Naan and Dal Makhani, and Dahi Bhalla. Out of everything, the Chole Bhature and Dal Makhani stood out the most - the taste was very close to how we enjoy it back in India, which made it feel extra special. The Dahi Bhalla was another favorite - soft and fluffy! Apart from the food, we picked up a variety of sweets, and everything looked fresh and inviting. Prices are decent for the quality, and the staff handled the crowd well while staying polite and attentive. Overall, a really good addition. We will definitely return back!

    What a nice place. We went here on the weekend twice and it was too crowded so we had to go somewhere else. However weekday afternoon worked out for us and we came here for the lunch. It was still full but there was place to sit. Sweets are too good!! Chaat too. I loved Dahi Vada here... The texture was spot on!! A lot of other dishes (pavbhaji, sandwich) were unavailable when I asked so I tried aloo and Kachori. Very nice taste. Staff is friendly here,it's a self service place. Food did take some time but was worth it.

It's just a little cold in there for some reason. We started with a watermelon spritz and the inji-puli lotus appetizer since we'd never tried anything like that, and it was very yummy and had such a nice crispy but soft texture. It was also a good portion for all four of us. We got the goat curry and the chettinad spice vegetables, and a few parathas to share. We were afraid it wouldn't be enough but the parathas are actually very filling, and also have a really great texture of both crispy and soft, and delicious flavor. The curries were good, could have used a bit more salt but good spice. The stars of the show were the desserts - this deserves its own section because omg I'm still thinking about the desserts!!! We got the gulab jamun brûlée - an amazingly well done take on creme brûlée with a perfect top, easy to crack and beautifully flavored. The filling was amazing and sweet and so so yummy. They also were kind enough to give us a complimentary chocolate cake which was absolutely amazing. I'm generally not too impressed by chocolate but the quality of this cake was phenomenal with perfect sweetness and richness. I need these two again !! Definitely recommend coming here for an occasion.

    Wow. I've never been to an Indian restaurant this posh before -- the moment I walked in I was like,…read more"woah." The space is absolutely beautiful, which explains why reservations are so hard to come by. I somehow snagged a last-minute outdoor reservation for four, but three more people joined us at the last minute. When we arrived, I asked a gentleman who looked like the manager if we could move indoors because it was cold. Even though they were very busy, he found us indoor seats in a perfect spot -- we definitely got lucky. We were a party of seven, half of us vegetarian. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, and everything was great, but the vegetable biryani stole the show for me. I don't come from India, so take this from a non-native -- it was hands down the best veggie biryani I've ever had. The flavors were incredible, and it came with raita and a chutney that paired perfectly. I kept thinking about it even after trying everything else. Other highlights: the gunpowder idli was mind-blowing, and the lotus root appetizer (my first time trying lotus root) was a delightful surprise -- great texture and flavor. The dosa was soft and exactly how I like it (I'm not into crispy dosa), and the paratha with the vegetable curry was delicious too. The meat dishes my friends ordered got rave reviews from them as well, but I was still daydreaming about that biryani. Service was excellent -- the staff were kind, patient, and especially attentive to the kids in our party. When the restaurant is busy there can be a wait for food, but trust me: every bite is worth the wait. Highly recommend Anantara if you want a beautiful dining experience with outstanding food.

Dahi puri was served quickly, it was very sweet for me. The 65 sizzler was flavourful, the chutney complimented the assortments of paneer, Gobi and veg pieces well. We had ordered garlic naan to eat with the sizzler but it was sent to us 15 min after we ate the starter. :/ Then we had to wait another 15 min munching on the cold bread while we waited for paneer balti and tandoori roti. The staff offered to take back the cold naan which was much appreciated. Paneer balti was very indulgent. It creamy and on the sweeter side. Garlic naan was delicious. I wish they served raw onion and lemon on the side though.. it would've elevated the experience for me. Will be returning to try the plethora of the options in the menu. Also, I'm very confused as the interior decoration screamed South Indian, but the menu is very mixed and focused on the sizzlers and indo Chinese , tandoor ..

It was sweet, flavorless, dry and lacking spice - four out of four people didn't like it. I definitely won't be trying it again. The Mutton Biryani, was flavorful and definitely many times better than chicken biryani. The Haleem was the absolute best item we ordered and a definite hit, making it worth trying again. Be warned about their 'Family Pack'. It's advertised as a family size but serves about two people, not definitely four, which is quite pricey for a 32oz bucket at $40. While the Haleem's quality justified the price as a seasonal item, the 'Family Pack' concept for biryani is poor value. I'd recommend the Haleem and Mutton Biryani, but steer clear of the Chicken Biryani and don't expect the "Family Pack" to feed more than two, 3 at best.

You walk in and it smells incredible, that's a sign. You see people laughing and chatting while partaking from varied dishes, then that's a sign! We ordered the Naga special chicken curry, the brinjal curry and the shrimp mango curry( that comes with rice), and roti and naan. Portions are ample , place is clean and service is satisfactory. Our sever Gopal took care of us in a timely and friendly fashion. The food itself, I mean , the flavors are all there. Each dish tastes unique and you get a sense you are eating out. No home style simple cooking here, the spices are intense and each dish has a bite. Isn't that why you go out to eat? Prices are really good, if you consider what other places charge for entrees. And everything comes out piping hot and fresh. So don't wait till the weekend to try it out, go today!

Never quite experienced an Indian restaurant with so much attentiveness and kindness.

I appreciate how descriptive their MENU is as they do list the ingredients. The goat was tender, juicy and delicious. Server warned us that medium is super spicy so we went with mild which we did not think it was spicy at all. Naan and roti were good. Roti is a bit more dry than the naan. Would order the naan again. VIBEZ: Lots of take out orders. Lots of different cultures and ages dining in. Love the modern and clean decor. Located in a plaza with tight parking. Would I come back? Yes! Why the 4 stars? I wish they'd leave a tray of napkins on the table instead of the need to repeatedly ask for more napkins (because some of us/some cultures can't stand the oiliness on their hands...). I also wish there was more variety on their menu especially regarding the veggie curries... what happened to palak paneer? :( ...also found it to be strange that their online menu was different especially regarding the apps portion. Plus I always order rice and when I saw multiple tables ordering rice, it was just a bowl of white basmati rice...wished they'd flavor it like multiple other establishments.
