    1.5 inches less- not a full cup.
    Anna U.

    I just got a cup of chai ( definitely half empty ). They told me it is a little bit less. I opened the lid and it was 1.5 inches lower in the cup than I usually got it from them. Not ok. If they didn't have enough or ran out then they should let me know. I am not happy about it. I just want a full cup of chai. See pic of my sad cup of chai.

    The snacks and appetizers at this place continue to be the best I have had in the Bay Area. Every single item on the Chaat menu has been excellent. Also the tandoori chicken, be it as an appetizer or in their wraps. We ordered takeaway dinner for two and there was enough food for four. I was not a fan of the gravy items. Definitely would go ahead and stick to my favorites. Two thumbs up.

    Chole Bhature, chicken tikka, garlic naan and a happy husband :)

    This is my husband and my go-to lunch date. We usually order Chole Bhature, tandoori chicken, saag, or tikka but really it's all good. We always leave happy and will probably be back next week as well!

    Friday, May 5, 2023 - A la Chicken Tikka Masala: extra spicy, garlic pesto naan ($16.99)
    Elena N.

    Date: Friday, May 5, 2023 Meal: Dinner Delivery Ordered via: DoorDash Time Placed: around 4:30pm Time Arrived: around 5:15pm Delivered to: Evergreen, San Jose *Curry Sauce: 4oz, Butter Sauce, Extra Spicy ($2.50) *Onion Naan: extra spicy ($5.49) *A la Chicken Tikka Masala: extra spicy, garlic pesto naan ($16.99) Curry is my comfort food. Thai, Japanese, Indian, etc. I adore it all. I was on my own for dinner, so decided to get some Indian for delivery. I had a discount code on my DD account, so with tax, tip, delivery fee, etc, I ended up paying $25.32. Not a bad deal if I do say so myself. Both naans were delicious. Savory and flavorful. A perfect way to scoop up the curry. If memory serves, the tikka masala was nice and creamy. Tho not as spicy as I wanted. I thought noting extra spicy would have more heat. The side of butter curry was small. But 4oz isn't that much, so I shouldn't have expected much. It was nice having an extra side since I had two pieces of naan. Glad I tried out Chaat Cafe. It was definitely comforting. REVIEW #3546

    Amazing food, no nonsense. Just full of flavor! The decor could use some sprucing up but the food is amazing, so who cares! Service is quick too. 10/10, a must eat here!

    Really great Indian food that's quick and easy on the wallet. It was quite crowded on a Friday evening and we ordered at the counter, butter chicken, chicken vindaloo, veggie pakora, and papri chaat. The papri chaat was refreshing from the yogurt and loved the combination with the chickpeas. The chips do get soggy a bit quick though. The veggie pakora came out nice and hot, and it was interesting to have it in the chickpea batter. Really good appetizer. I do wish the curries came out a little hotter in temperature, and the butter chicken was fine, but a bit too tomato sauce like for my taste. The vindaloo was great, our favorite of the two, though didn't have any heat like we thought it would from the menu description. Naan was also very good, and liked that you could pick up sides of sauces at the counter. All in all, a very good meal and will be back again!

    Veggie of the day with Naan
    Don L.

    The weekday lunch specials are great deals, healthy, and fill you up. I believe it's from 12pm-3:30pm, but don't quote me on that. The veggie of the day last Thursday was cauliflower with potato in a yellow curry, and it was served with naan. So flavorful and delicious. The Cholay Batura had a chickpea dip with an addicting, fluffy bread. It was my favorite dish out of the ones we ordered just because the bread. We also got a chicken wrap that had bbq chicken and veggies in it. It was good too. The employees were nice and answered any questions we had about the dishes. The water is self serve from a filtered water dispenser. There are mint chutney and tamarind sauces available too. I'll definitely be back for lunch!

    My husband and I split our meats so we could have a little of each. Yummy!!
    Stacy A.

    It's been a long time since I came here because I no longer live in the area, but was back in my old neighborhood and decided to stop here for dinner. My husband and I ordered the chicken tikka plate and the spicy seekh plate so we could share. Both meats were delicious as was the fluffy rice. The lentil soup was perfectly spiced, and the garlic naan had lots of garlic and was absolutely delicious. I'm going to say one of the best naans I've ever had! The cucumber side was refreshing as well. Even better than the delicious meal was that it was a great value! We will absolutely make a point of coming back here to try more things. The gentlemen working here were also very nice and professional.

    Samosas. So good!

So, I've unfortunately been passing it over. I finally decided to try it out and I was in for a treat. I got the chicken kebab plate as the sandwich board right out side the door suggested, along with a side of fries to go. The fries were crispy with a ting of spice and delicious. But the star of the show was the kebab for sure. Meaty, plump, flavorful, definitely one of the outstanding chicken kebabs in town. Lot of places give you a dry, flaky kebabs but here, it's been cooked to the perfect amount of juiciness. The rice was also butterly and flavorful. Good pita, hummus and the vegetables too. It might feel a little pricey (but everything else is too nowadays), but they give you a nice filling portion. The staffs are very nice and attentive. Clean, fun, colorful interior. I'd love to dine in next time. I'm definitely coming back for more, I want to try the loaded fries wraps, and the kanafeh next time around. The location's and the parking access is not the best, so I really hope Manakish gets all the attraction and attentions it deserves!

To our…read moresurprise, the fries wrap was the better of the two, as the garlic aioli and whatever other flavors were added made it tasty. It definitely could have used the coleslaw and pickles promised by the menu but they weren't in evidence. That was the problem with the falafel wrap, too: the menu promised hummus, cabbage & tomatoes salad, and pickled turnips, but those ingredients weren't anywhere to be seen. There was some lettuce instead, but lettuce is a poor substitute as it just becomes immediately soggy and adds no flavor. If you've ever had falafel in Israel, you will be disappointed by the falafel here, unfortunately. (Israeli falafel shops each make at least a dozen toppings from family recipes, so you put as many veggies and sauces in as you can to create a flavor party in your mouth.)
