Decent Indian fast food in Newark…read more Stopped by with friends this evening for dinner. We originally went to their newer Fremont location, but it was "temporarily closed" so we drove another 15 minutes north to this location, which is the original Mumbai Chowk, around for over ten years. My friends arrived a few minutes after I did. We ordered at the counter; all veg food, as some of our non-veg choices, like Seekh kabab, were not available, and caught up on old times while waiting for our meal. This is mostly a takeout joint, as the seating is sparse and the dining area quite small. I enjoyed the décor showing fast food found near various Mumbai railway stations, like Ghatkopar, Bandra, and Bombay Central. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. We ate hungrily, then ordered more. We ended a very satisfying meal with masala chai. My favorite dishes were the Mumbai daal fry and balti paneer, my friends also enjoyed the Chana masala and Methi malai paneer. The naan basket was excellent, but the rice and butter tandoori roti was meh. Total bill was a little over $100 before tip (reasonable for 4 adults). Bathroom was available and operational. Parking was easy. Happy to return to try some of their non-vegetarian dishes like baida roti.

Dakshin Cafe is a gem. Everything I tasted was delicious -- genuinely some of the best South Indian…read morefood in the Bay Area, in my opinion. What sets this place apart is the range of dishes you don't usually find on a menu. The pineapple kootu was a standout (so good), the mango rice was bright and flavorful, and the pudi kozhukattai was spot on. It all has that authentic, homemade quality -- the kind of cooking that tastes like it came straight out of mom's kitchen. The dining space is on the smaller side, so it's not ideal for large groups, but that's my only note, and honestly I just hope they expand because the food deserves a bigger room. My one wish is that they hold onto this quality without ever letting it slip. I've seen too many promising new spots start strong and slowly fade, and this place is far too good for that. I'll definitely be ordering catering from here for events going forward. If you love real South Indian home cooking, don't miss this spot.

It was one of those weeks. The wallet is getting thinner, the bills are warming up in the corner,…read moreand payday is taking its sweet time getting here. Add in the home repairs, the endless chores, and the nonstop kid schedule, and by the end of it all, I was running on fumes. Sometimes, a person just needs a small break from the daily grind. A little reward. A moment to say, "You know what, I deserve this." And on this particular day, that reward came in the form of one very specific craving: a deeply aromatic, mouthwatering, spice-loaded plate of biryani. I had been to Biryani Junction before, though it had been many months. What pulled me back was not just hunger. It was memory. Specifically, the memory of that rich aroma that stays with you long after the meal is over. This time, I ordered the Chicken Ghee Roast Biryani. I originally butchered the name in my head and called it something else, so my apologies to the menu and to the biryani gods. But now that we have the official name right, let me say this properly. This dish was excellent. My immediate reaction? Mouthwatering, intensely aromatic, and stomach-growling good. Honestly, just typing this review is making me hungry all over again, which is unfortunate because I am supposedly on a diet. We do not need to discuss how that is going. The ghee roast chicken was wonderfully fragrant. The moment I got home, I opened that takeout container faster than I open a can of soda. The aroma rushed out and filled the house so quickly I am fairly certain it woke my lazy dog from his sunbathing session in the corner. And the rice. The rice deserved its own round of applause. Light, fluffy, and beautifully coated with flavor. The kind of fluffy that makes you want to pause for a second and just appreciate what is happening. Then came the first spoonful, and that was pretty much the end of self-control. Once it hit the taste buds, it was game over. Spoon after spoon, the dish just kept pulling me back in. Now, a friendly warning for anyone who and spice are not on speaking terms: this biryani has real heat. Not playful heat. Not a gentle little tap on the shoulder. This one bites back, and it bites back with confidence. I grew up in Southeast Asia, so my palate has been trained on spice from a very young age. You could say my taste buds were raised in a reasonably spicy neighborhood. Even then, this one still had a solid kick. So no, this may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly okay. That is actually part of what makes places like this interesting. It is always a bit of a balancing act for ethnic food businesses. Do they stay true to the original flavor profile, including the spice and intensity, or do they tone it down to appeal to a wider crowd? Personally, I appreciate that Biryani Junction leans into authenticity. I would much rather experience the dish as it is meant to be, even if that same authenticity comes back later in the day to remind me who is really in charge. So yes, if you are feeling adventurous, I say go for it. You only live once, and sometimes the spice only attacks once too. If your taste buds can handle a little drama, this is absolutely worth a visit. Thank you, Biryani Junction. I truly appreciate the aroma, the flavor, and the originality.

This is a new, woman-owned restaurant in Fremont, and what stood out to me most was the owner and…read morethe classy ambience of the restaurant. She genuinely cares about the quality of the food she serves in a setting that she has worked hard to make appealing. Talking to her, you can tell that freshness and taste truly matters to her. She is passionate about food, believes strongly in serving good-quality, freshly prepared meals, and decided to take the leap and build this business herself. That kind of commitment is worth supporting, especially when the food delivers too. Everything feels fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions. Opening an independent restaurant is hard, and building a loyal customer base takes time. I'm doing my small bit to help a new local, woman-owned business settle into the Fremont community, and I hope others will give Zoya's a try as well. Good food, fair prices, and an owner who genuinely cares about what she puts on the table. I'm rooting for her.

Simple menu, accessible offerings without too many regional specialties but it was fast and…read moreconvenient on door dash. Great to have so many local Indian offerings and interesting to see the different takes each place has on the same dishes. Curry home forces a choice of rice or naan with their entrees which is great because I sometimes assume dishes will come with rice and am disappointed at home when it doesn't have any. They don't have a physical location and operate "ghost kitchen" style, probably out of a restaurant we know locally. Lentils Dal: I love this so much, lentils, cumin, ginger, turmeric, and cardamom. A vegetarian dish thats like soul food to me that I would choose over a meat based stew any day. Had a nice clean taste and I wish I ordered two of them. Tasted great by itself or with naan dipped in. Butter Chicken: For the wife, it had bits of chopped greens in it that gave it a more appetizing appearance than just butter chicken sauce and chicken. Had a spicier kick than normal which we enjoyed. Both entrees were slightly more watery than normal but thickened over time. Both also came super, super hot and the containers were a bit warped.

We were craving curry and stumbled upon Curry Home on Door Dash. There was a wide selection of…read morecurries to choose from as well as sweets such as mango lassi! We ordered the chicken vindaloo (spicy) and the chicken tikka masala (medium spicy). Each entree was $13-$15 which was not terrible. The food took about 45 minutes to arrive despite the estimated wait time of 20 minutes. It seems Curry Home does take longer than expected so be prepared for a small wait before you get your food. Upon getting our food at the front door, we were impressed with the packaging. Neat and organized packaging of the curry along with the naan. We thoroughly enjoyed both curries. The chicken vindaloo had a nice kick to it. The chicken was still on the bones, but very flavorful. There's a subtle tomato paste taste to it to balance the spices. The potatoes could have been cooked a little longer as they were still a bit firm. The chicken tikka masala was very delicious. It was nice and creamy with chicken that was soft and well-marinated. I would highly recommend this place to satisfy your curry cravings especially if you want to dine-in at home and avoid crowds.

The mutton wrap was the highlight for me -- juicy, rich, and packed with authentic Indian flavors that you don't usually get from a food truck. What I liked most was that it didn't feel overly greasy and the spices were balanced really well. Even the kids loved it, which is saying something because they can be picky. They happily finished their wraps and asked for more. If you're craving quick Indian street-style food, Kesari Chuhla is definitely worth checking out. Great wraps, good portions, and very satisfying.
