Masala Chai (Tea)
Howard F.

I grew up in the UK and have been to a lot of Indian restaurants. This place was very good. The food came out piping hot and fresh. The serving size was generous, specifically there was a lot of paneer in my radiant gold curry. It came with rice and I ordered a butter naan on the side. The owner was so personable and welcoming. I'm visiting from out of town but look forward to coming back here and hopefully bringing family to share the experience. I ate the food before being able to get a pic because I was hungry but here's the cup of chai which really hit the spot The mango lassi was also worth getting.

Gobi 65 and dry pepper chicken

Chennai Bamboo Garden is tucked in the Broadstone Plaza that has always delivered consistent, great tasting food. All their Biryanis, clay pots, and curries taste amazing and we always have a great time here. Our favorites last time we went were the dry pepper chicken and the paneer and babycorn biryani. They were so flaovorful and delicious. Can't wait to come back!

Very cute spot with great food. The place was very clean. They were preparing for some event in the evening, still they took very good care of us. We got chicken lollipops, mutton chettinad and garlic naan. The portions were generous and food was delicious.

Service is hit and miss. I would prefer ordering the food for take out. Indoor service- customer service was slow and they were not willing to combine the tables. We were party of 7 people. I would say, they have some good Indian dishes.

Service was exceptional. There was only one waitress but she did her best to accommodate us. She reassuresd us to not rush our dining experience. All the entrees were rich and full of flavor. I ate everything before I could take good pics. We orders: 5/5 Clay Pot Rice with Goat was amazing. The goat was super tender. 5/5 Pompano Fish curry was surprisingly good as well. 4/5 jackfruit Masala - a little too tarty 5/5 And of course, the garlic naan..yum.

Great food with modern decor and ordering through large dedicated app screen. Tasty food with flavor and good unique vegetarian dishes with use of jackfruit and such. Looking forward to coming again! Even the flies added to the authentic ambiance

This is a rice clay pot

Food is very good! Service is excellent, very friendly. This is my wife and I 4th time and each time we are very satisfied

Fusion Storm Veg Rice

Guntur Gobi - tasted different and excellent Spring Rolls - Well made and presented perfectly Fusion Storm rice - Fantastic. Great mix of vegetables and prepared carefully as requested. Excellent food and awesome service. Ambience was also very good.

Lat Mai Paneer, noodles and jackfruit veggie alternative

This place is very clean with good service. Although vegetarian we had a veggie alternative to everything and customized to your level of spice. The munchurian soup, noodles, veg munchurian, paneer biryani and jackfruit veggie was awesome!

Veg noodles
Juhi J.

Always in search of new fusion cooking, we stopped by this place tonight. We spoke to Bharti about some of the below feedback and shared with her our thoughts. She was kind and working especially hard ( it seems that tonight they had fewer than usual staff). The Food: Four stars because the food is fantastic. Anything that is south indian on the menu, is fire. Amazing spices and perfectly fresh. Very impressed by how tasty the food is. Having high expectations for Indian food in general, they represented spicy south indian dishes very , very well. We had the Ghee Roast Chicken, Paneer 65, the Tawa Fish Fry, and Paneer/Veg Biryani. All great. The "Chinese" variety was not so expected and honestly they could eliminate it altogether. We go the veg noodles as MILD, and they were fresh but nothing to repeat. The restaurant would do much better being less confusing as an indo chinese place, but rather a go to south indian street food place. If you wanted noodles for kids, perhaps have a kids menu with simple dishes, rather than brand yourself as a "indo chinese". Definitely come here for the food. The ordering workflow: We shared this with Bharti. It was confusing. You need to go to the counter to let them know if you want to carry out or dine in. If you want to dine in, you pick a table, and the waiter brings over a tablet from which you can order . If you want a to go order, you walk over to the wall where there are paper signs that indicate those are for to go ordering. While we were dining in, we saw a gentleman order food from the wall, and then sit down at a table to eat. Not his fault, super confusing. A regular customer sitting next to us, also stated she didn't like the tablet ordering. Bharti mentioned this ordering system helped with saving time, and not having to wait for someone to take your order. But the trade off here, is not getting to talk to anyone about recommendations, it's stressful to the customer to order based on photos, and we still had to call over a waiter to ask questions. So unless you have only repeat customers that know your menu fully, this is not a good initial experience for the customer. The ordering kiosks are located in a wierd place too, if there was a full house of people you would have to be hovering over a table to place your order. I would get rid of those and maybe have a counter option. Honestly I would get rid of the whole tablet ordering altogether. Definitely post a menu online, and have some paper menu's available for your less tech savy customers, if you decide to keep the tablet ordering system. The service: So... we came in on a night that wasn't well staffed (happens sometimes) and we could see Bharti filling in and running around. She was so friendly and kind, and did it with a smile. She was bringing out orders, taking orders, talking to guests, basically everything. Its a family business, but I would leave kids out of the kitchen, and the chef which I believe is the husband, kept calling out for Bharti while she was talking to us. I can see she was stressed and he was kind of annoying, calling her name out every second and asking her to come to the kitchen. You need more professionalism, your wife was working super hard and doing a great job keeping customers happy. Overall, you must definitely try the food, they really do have a special talent here. Running a restaurnt is hard, and we hope that they take some pointers into consideration. We talked to Bharti at length after our meals and shared this information. She brought up an intersting point. She stated that desi (Indian origin) customers expect food immediately and are not willing to wait. But if that same customer goes to an american establishment they would never complain even if they waited for over 45 minutes. I agree with her. There needs to be a cultural shift here. The food we got was amazing, and served super fast. But we as customers should give the restaurant staff grace and they shouldn't feel pressurized. Let's all be mindful that good food takes time to cook. We hope to be back and hope to see it a little less chaotic and more organized next time. Great, great food, and that will definitely be the cornerstone for your success and return customers.

My family and I made a pit stop here for lunch coming from Tahoe. We're tired, a bit sore, and it was lunch time. Let's just say the food breathed life back into us, we just kept adding dishes to our table! Not to mention the kind service, everyone was so patient and nice! Highly recommend the chili chicken (has a slight kick), shrimp, and garlic flatbread. We will definitely come back again when we can!

Butter chicken
Loredo L.

Wow what an experience! We were gonna eat ramen noodles next door when we were overtaken by the aromas coming from this new Indo-Chinese fusion restaurant in the Bel Air Plaza. The place was decorated with neon and white marble tables. Soft pop dance music was nice to hear in the background. The Apollo Fish Fry appetizer and Warm Whispers (chicken) soup came out first and were super flavorful. The garlic nan and butter chicken came came out as the entrees and were probably the best I can remember having in a long time (and I've been to a lot of Indian restaurants all over town). Most of the dishes seemed like Indian staples although maybe the noodle and rice dishes were the fusion options. Overall I agree with the previous reviews - 5 stars! This place deserves more business

This was after I'm done eating. Still so much food!

First time eating here tonight, and I must say I'm glad I did. I was debating whether just to get a sandwich or try this new place, and I'm happy I made the latter choice. Food was amazing -- flavorful, portion is huge (I wasn't aware so I ordered two plates and couldn't even finish one), and service was great. Note that there are no paper menus. After you sit, they bring out a tablet for your table and you order from there. You can also add orders is the tablet no problem. The only glitch is, where they require a spice level, there is no option for "no spice" but you can't continue without choosing one. The server helped me through this and we resolved it by just adding it in the notes. Definitely recommend and will most certainly return.

It was good but the pepper had a hint of burnt so it gave a bitter taste to the dish. - Salt & Pepper Calamari: Not bad but not the best. It was fresh but may have been overcooked or cooked too fast since it was a little tough. - Salt & Pepper Shrimp: Flavorful and was better than the calamari. Flour coating was not too thick so it was enjoyable. - Beef & Broccoli: Broccoli were cooked well. They had a nice crunch. The dish was saucey but was not as flavorful as I expected. Also the sauce was not as thick as well. It was more running. - Fried Rice: It was good but not something to rave about. - Chicken Chow Mein: The kids loved the chow mein. It was better than expected. It had a light flavor that made the dish taste delicious. The noodles were not chewy, tough, or too soft. It was also not lathered in oil. As for the chicken pieces, they were tender and easy to chew. Service: Very friendly and attentive. They also welcoming and observant.

I just experienced the best food and hospitality from Hometown Dumpling…read more I went for lunch on a Friday and with their help, I ordered the pork and shrimp dumplings, BBQ pork buns, and my favorite, sesame balls.

There were so many dumplings in the order that I couldn't finish them, and I took them, cold, to my teenager, and she thought they were fantastic. Further, they let me stay in their restaurant and finish a work project. I took up a seat and they were nothing but accommodating to me.

The menu also has wonton soup, noodles, soup dumplings, fried spring rolls, crab rangoons, cucumber salad (Asian style), Chinese egg custards, bbq pork buns, sesame red bean paste fried balls,, stir fry veggies, taro steamed buns, and some other items. I've tried the dumplings boiled, steamed, and pan fried. The boiled ones are slippery and best when I'm in the mood to have them swirled in a sauce like hot chili oil. Streamed ones have a slight chew to the dumpling exterior than the boiled or fried dumplings.But doesn't take away from the taste. Pan fried is good when you want a crispier exterior and slight crunch. Whatever way you order 'em... it's all good! The egg custards, sesame balls, and crab rangoons are classic and my other go tos. I enjoy the diversity of the menu. Gotta confess, in Folsom there is not a lot of these good authentic dumpling places. Plus throw in some dim sum items...score! Is it Michelin star, no. It is homemade and comforting, yes! The place is clean, comfortable, and has basic furnishings and decor. There is no music or TV. The owner works most of the shifts. It truly is a small family business that welcomes your family.

The egg rolls were spring rolls. The inside were puréed. They were okay. The spicy chicken and broccoli looked flavorful and covered in seasoning in the menu photo.
