    We had an average experience at Chandni Chowk when we came in for lunch recently. Ambience- 5/5 lots of details Pani puri- 4/5 Chole bhature- 2.5/5 - the specific taste of chole is something I tasted for the first time. Wasn't great. Chicken lollipop- 2.5/5- way too oily Service was prompt. Bathroom had an unpleasant odor.

    I think this place and their other branch on Lafayette street serves the best chole bature in the bayarea. I am a fan of their Pani puri as well. ***USP: quirky ambiance mimicking "Chandni chowk" which is a street in India's capital New Delhi known for its street food and unique street side shopping experience. Menu is a sampling of items served on the same street. ***Ambiance : relatively small space with an entire wall covered in a wallpaper depicting Delhis chandni chowk. The roof is painted to mimick an open sky dotted with clouds. ***Food: I will keep coming back here for my guilty pleasure chole bature and my all time favorite food- Pani puri. *Chana bature: 5/5: The chole served here is the black variety, this requires the use of tea leaves to get that color. They are lip smacking delicious with a perfect balance of spices and flavors. With their thick variety of bature, it's a match made in heaven. *Pani puri: 5/5: I tried the kaala katta, khatta meetha and mint varieties and loved all three of them. The puri has some mouth feel to it as well. *egg hakka noodles: 4.5/5: We also tried their hakka noodles this time. Surprisingly non greasy with bouncy noodles. I was surprised I liked it as I am a stickler for how my Indo Chinese food needs to taste, lol! *Chana samosa : 4/5 : Their Chana samosa came with the same Chana as the bature dish, they doused it with a lot of sweet sauce though. It was ok for me but my older one loved it. *chicken tikka masala and naan: 3/5 : My younger one got the chicken tikka masala. I would personally never ever order this dish, but, sometimes we bend backwards for the kids. Anyway, nothing unique here, just the run of the mill curry doused in heavy cream, the chicken was very tough as well, it took some effort to break it down into smaller pieces.

    The place is unique and fun the inside. The food is standout and wonderful. The menu doesn't have descriptions and their thali pictures suck. Service was attentive. The chat is really nice with great texture and flavors. The hakka noodle are wonderful with nice tastes. The went on to the special chicken which is chicken bbq with a nice yogurt sauce. This place is great, food is distinctive. Worth a visit. Show them these pictures and order these items. It's amazing. Their menu pictures are not great.

    Ambience is highlight, very thoughtfully decorated to give old chandni chowk vibes. Food was good overall, lakhpati chaat and matka chai were amazing! Aslan chicken was good but little Salty. Service was good. Parking was easy

    Got takeout on a weekday evening. The place was quiet, but the ambiance inside is amazing. Was pretty much a colorful Indian street scene with signs, posters, wires strung across the ceiling, and even fake crows perched up top. The gobi manchuria was very good, but the chole bhature was too greasy for me. Food was also on the pricier side. I'd come back just to sit inside and soak in the ambiance.

I visited during lunch with a few friends, and we were wowed by the variety of food options. The naan was served fresh, and everything we tried tasted really good. Service is very good and naan was replenished quickly. I also catered food from them for my spouse's 50th birthday party, and the food was a huge hit with all our guests. Everything was delivered on time and tasted perfect. For appetizers, we ordered Dahi Bhalla, Achaari Paneer, and Gobi Manchurian. For the main course, we had Chana Masala, Butter Chicken, and Paneer Lababdar, along with Naan and Lachcha Paratha. We also ordered Moong Dal Halwa for dessert. Dahi Bhalla was a super hit! Several guests said it was hands down the best Dahi Bhalla they had ever had at a restaurant. All the other dishes were equally delicious and received lots of compliments. Overall, whether you're looking for a great North Indian buffet or catering for a party, I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be ordering from them again!

I would arguably say that in Milpitas that this has to be the best Indian food around. Seriously if youre reading this, please go try this place out.

    Yelp knows me pretty well by now. It knows I like Indian food, so Vande Bharat kept popping up in…read moremy recommendations. It's been sitting there for a while, so the wifey and I finally decided to drive down to Milpitas and give this Thali place a try. I'm glad we did because their Thali is probably one of the best we've had, if not the best. FYI Thali is LUNCH only. Here is my take. Food (4.5 stars) +The Combo Thali for around $18 is the way to go. Don't overthink it and don't order anything else. You get a little bit of everything, which is exactly why we like Thali. If there's something you don't like, just give it to your partner. My wife doesn't like lamb, so I ended up with double lamb. Bonus for me! + Lamb curry was probably my favorite. Tender meat with a flavorful curry and it went perfectly with the rice. Since my wife donated hers to me, I had plenty! + Fried fish is also very good. You don't get a huge piece, but with so many other things on the plate, it's enough. That's the beauty of Thali--you get a few bites of everything instead of committing to one giant dish. + Chicken curry was also good. Nothing on the plate really needs to be eaten by itself because everything complements each other. You get savory, spicy, sour and even a little sweet throughout the meal. + There are also the usual Thali sides like dal, sumbar, yogurt, dessert and another sour/soupy dish. Rice sits right in the middle and you basically mix and match your way through the entire plate. + I also really like the papadum. It's that thin crispy Indian cracker that gives you a nice crunchy break between all the curries and softer foods. ~ PRO TIP: The only thing to consider is whether you prefer a Thali or an Indian buffet. At a buffet, you can essentially get many of these same types of dishes and eat as much as you want. With a Thali, you're getting smaller portions of everything. Personally, I like the variety and having everything served together, especially when the combo is only around $18. Service/Ambiance (4.5 stars) + We came during lunch and there was only one other customer while we were there, so service was good and the food came out rather quickly. + The restaurant has some really nice paintings along the walls. Some of the scenery almost looked Mediterranean to me, although I'm assuming they're depicting places somewhere in India. Either way, they add some character to the restaurant. + It's a comfortable, casual place to sit down and enjoy a Thali without much fuss. GET THE COMBO! You get fish, lamb, chicken, rice, dal, sides, dessert and all the little extras that make eating Thali fun. Between the two of us, if one person doesn't like something, the other person probably will. In my case, that strategy resulted in double lamb, so I definitely wasn't complaining. Wifey gives Vande Bharat 4.5 stars and I'm right there with her. For the price, variety and flavors, this is easily one of our favorite Thali meals we've had. Yelp got this recommendation right!

For the entrees, we got a potlam goat biryani - a delicious biryani wrapped in a banana leaf served table side. We also got the Fish Pollichathu, a fish grilled with a tomato based topping that was wrapped in a banana leaf and served with a tapioca mash and rice. All the dishes were delicious.

It had some veg sides that came with it and some of these dishes are unique and not available to order otherwise - chicken curry and 3 Malabar parottas - this was a curry leaf based curry that was pretty tasty. I'm not sure I would reorder this because I felt it lacked some salt and was very oily. - Chicken Biriyani - This is a huge serving and came with bone-in chicken as well as fried chicken, wrapped in a banana leaf. We ordered too much food but it was nice to have some leftover to take home! One thing to note was gratuity of 18% was automatically charged for us, but I wasn't aware that they do that for a party of 5.

I never got there, but my husband raved about it from business dinners. Our birthday honoree wanted to come here. One of us is vegetarian, another GF and very allergic to solanaceae, and two don't eat fish. Usually Pakistani & eastern Asian cuisine is a good choice. Three of us had masala chai, served in traditional glazed clay cups: I think cardamom was the top note. Ginger's the top note, followed by cardamom when I make it. It was blissful. I have been wanting to try pani puri for a while, but don't think the delicate shells would survive delivery. Mouthgasms ensued from everyone. Next time I'm in an Indian restaurant, I'm getting that, as it was as tasty as it looks. Samosas were ordered to share, and again, we were all happy. Because of the high simple carbs, I don't eat the usual one, but half of one was heavenly. Garlic naan & papad(ums) were ordered. They were the most flavorful papad I've ever tasted: don't know what the additional ingredient was, but I will certainly order that again. I asked our server, who might have been a manager, how many papadums were in an order. The answer was three, but he'd add a fourth. It took us a while to choose entrees, and when we made our order, he looked at each of us, confirmed what we ordered--with no note pad. I was impressed. I had the achari chicken kebab, absolutely wonderful spicing, with plenty of onion strips, nicely browned just short of caramelized. Our vegetarian ordered saag paneer, the honoree had her favorite butter chicken, and the fourth ordered seekh kebab. We usually get a taste of each other's dishes, except the vegetarian, because meat. We were very appreciative and enthusiastic of what we'd ordered. We couldn't have made our enjoyment more clear. For dessert, we ordered an intense Malai (mango) kulfi, gulab jamun (dough balls in a honey sauce), too sweet for me, but still pleasant, and rasmalai, a sweet dough in a milky sauce, spiced with saffron, rosewater, cardamom, and pistachios. We were treated to a plate of jalebi, which resembles funnel cakes, in a honey sauce. I've seen these at a Persian market, but don't know the name. For all we ordered, the bill was modest, about $114. We added an ample tip. This was the absolute best Indian food I've ever had! We had such a lovely time. One thing I wish restaurants would do is to put their full menu online, instead of just popular items for delivery or pick-up. It gives you more incentives to dine in!

It does not get chewy or gets dry. 5 Star Sunny and Love they work hard to make it happen. Kudos to them.

So far my experiences here have been pleasant, with the service being friendly and there being an ample amount of seating inside. I've noticed that the food tends to run on the spicier side (we ordered mild and yet it was still spicy, though perhaps just a sign of my spice tolerance failing me), but outside of that it tasted good. Panni Puri - This was my first time trying a panni puri and it tasted really good, even though I found it spicy (we ordered mild). I especially loved the texture of the onions inside of it. I ate it earlier on which made it harder for me to tell which other dishes were spicy and which ones weren't at the time as a result of its lingering spiciness, but I would happily order it again given the opportunity. Punugulu/Veggie Puff/Vegetarian Fried Rice - All three of these were good and I do recall them being non-spicy. The veggie puff was especially refreshing after trying to get through the paneer pulav Mirchi Bajji - These were also good and surprisingly not as spicy as I thought they would be, considering that they have chili peppers in them Naan with House Vegetable Curry - The vegetable curry was really spicy and it took me a while to realize this because I was still dealing with the effects of the panni puri while I was eating this. Had I not brought some of it home as leftovers I probably would've thought that this was non-spicy Paneer Pulav - Much spicier than expected. I needed to use some of the curd to tone it down but it was still good. The texture of the rice was good too The cold drinks on their menu come in a reusable bottle and from their display I can assume that their desserts are the same way. So far the ones I've tried (mango lassi, rose milk, and chikoo shake) have been refreshing. There's also a falooda section that closes at around 8:00 pm, but I haven't been able to try them yet as both times we got there past eight. Overall a pleasant experience in spite of the spiciness. Perhaps one day I'll be strong enough to handle it without the curd, but it'll probably take a couple of additional visits before I can.
