Came here solely on the recommendation from many of the chai, so I kept it simple on the first visit and grabbed a couple quick items to go with it. Ordering felt a bit chaotic at times for me because there were moments where no one was around when I was trying to place an order. Only the hard working chefs busy making the food. Once I did get through though, they hand you a pager so you can grab a seat and relax while everything is being prepared. I went with the chicken 65 roll and a side of onion samosas since there wasn't a wait on those menu items. Overall, the food was pretty solid. The samosas tasted handmade and the flavors were all there (spicy). The roll was good, but on the smaller side, and the chicken leaned a bit dry. The fries portion was honestly tiny, I could've counted them at a glance. I would come back just for the Irani chai though. It really hits and is easily one of the better ones I've had in the Bay over the past year. read more

irani chai was good bun maska was good the paneer roll was really very bad, $14 for a roll filled with ranch. The fries were cold and soggy. The paneer marination was terrible. The paneer had so much color in it, that it was dangerously red. read more

Not the most aesthetic pleasing place. Very average in view. People say the rolls are great here but I wonder the food quality tests. Anywho I was here for Irani Chai and that was the best Irani Chai I had in years. Thoroughly loved it ! read more

If you ever get one of those late night cravings for tea and a quick bite, this place does the job. We stopped by around 11:15 PM on a Wednesday and ordered the Irani chai and bun maska. The chai was not the freshest. It tasted like it had been sitting a bit too long. Still, just finding a cup of tea that late made up for it. Service was really quick, probably because the snacks are pre packed and the tea is already made. It is the kind of place where you grab something, sit for a bit, and head out. The ambience is pretty average. Nothing fancy, but comfortable enough for a casual stop. read more

Used to a frequent here, used to go every week here from Mountain View just for the tea until they opened their branch in Sunnyvale. Love the place their irani tea, bun maska, bun malai bun cutlet . The vibe here is amazing now they have even expanded the seating and the service here is amazing too read more

This place is open till 1 AM. The late you go the packed it is!! Party town... several other food trucks in that plaza. Irani chai- just wow.. rich with milk, spices and some sugar. Just felt perfect after a day full of activities. Bun maska and bun malai orders were flying out around us. We got chicken noodles. We were informed that this will take 15 min to prep. Noodles were really good- chewy, enough sauced, plenty of chicken. Bun shami was juicy, well spiced, not excessively spicy, perfect with mint chutney. Masala fries were fresh, hot, crispy, tangy with the dry spice. The garlic dipping sauce was phenomenal. Will be back here to try bun maska, roomali roti and chicken 65, Lokhmi, shawarma and desserts. They were extremely popular with fellow patrons. Parking can be tough due to popularity. Tip- Park in the Apna mandi parking lot and walk over. Order at the counter, take the buzzer, grab chai and find a table. Chit chat with your party and food will be ready. It takes a little while if they are slammed (which was the case at 10:45 pm on a Tuesday!!!) read more

Ordered the Irani and Zaffrani chai and samosas for pickup. The samosas didn't come with a dip so they were on the dry side but still seasoned well. The chais were really milky and tea tastes faint but the sweetness level was great. Once the chais cooled down, there was a noticeable sour taste from both cups. Either they were left in the pitcher all day for too long and went bad or expired milk was used to make them. Not sure if I can come back after this sour chai experience. read more

The place was much smaller the last time that I went. Now, they expanded their dining area. It really looks exquisite inside making it really good to hangout. Very loud during the afternoon though. I've never seen businesses pull off like that. It seems to me that they're doing a successful job overall. I have tried their samosas and really like the Irani Chai, but definitely should try the Masala fries in the future! read more

Deccan Morsels is a chain Irani Chai place that's known for its high quality chai for a reasonable price. Be prepared to wait in line for a while and expect for it to be crowded, but know that the chai and snacks are worth it. The ambiance inside is nice and clean. The chai is flavorful and authentic - it pairs well with the samosas and maska bun. I've come back here multiple times and would definitely recommend if you're looking for a weekend or post-work pick me up! read more

This is hands down our favorite place for Irani chai -- rich, flavorful. It's open until midnight, which makes it a great late-night stop. We absolutely love the Chicken 65 and Paneer 65 -- both are consistently tasty and well-spiced. The prices are very reasonable too, so you can enjoy great food without burning a hole in your pocket. Perfect for light bites or a casual and one of our togo spot in Bay Area ! read more

The place is super loud, unmanaged and someone needs to clean it regularly. The trash is overflowing and it just makes you feel like you are in India but the bad kind, crowded, too busy, unclean! The food is undeniably good so this one's more on the management to clean regularly and ask people to not eat while standing at small tables. They should do the table waiting system so it's more organized inside. It's just too stimulating and a lot is going on at all times! read more

The biryani here tasted like a biryani my mom had made at home but unfortunately some of the chicken pieces were undercooked. Hopefully it was an exception and I'm planning to try the goat one next time read more

What a cute little spot! The chandeliers were so pretty, and the whole place had such a cozy vibe. Loved the ambiance! We ordered quite a few things, so here's the lowdown: Paneer roll - This came stuffed with loads of paneer wrapped in a soft rumali roti. I miss good rumali roti, so this was a treat! As a vegetarian, I stuck to paneer, but the chicken and shawarma options looked amazing if that's your thing. They also served a decent portion of fries on the side--crispy on the outside, soft inside, with a touch of masala(spices). Just perfect! The roll itself tasted good--not amazing. My partner liked it, though! My major gripe was the red food color--didn't love how it looked. That aside, it wasn't oily(love that), super filling, and came with a ranch-style dip that paired perfectly with both the roll and the fries. Totally worth it! Bun maska - OMG, this was the star for me! Soft, buttery bread served warm with just the right amount of sweetness. It was mild and so satisfying--I'd happily come back just for this! Whether you dip it in chai or eat it on its own, it's such a treat. Bun malai - This one wasn't warm, and the malai was a thinner consistency, as they kindly explained beforehand. It's a little sweeter too. It was decent, but for me, the bun maska was unbeatable. Still, worth trying if you like sweeter treats. Chai - We tried both the Zafrani chai and Irani chai. Hands down, Zafrani chai was the winner! It had the perfect sweetness, and we both absolutely loved it. If you're a tea lover, skip the free chai at Apni Mandi and try this instead--it's so worth it. The Irani chai was less sweet but still great. My top pick? Zafrani chai all the way. 10/10. The place was packed with people, but the staff did a fantastic job keeping up with the crowd. Parking can be tricky even though there are plenty of spots, especially since it's near Starbucks and Apni Mandi. Highly recommended! It's a great spot for a quick stop, and the food, service and vibe make it worth a visit. Definitely give it a try! read more

My friend recommended this place for having the best Irani chai. I love chai so I was game. We arrived around 9pm and surprisingly the place was crowded. This seemed like THE spot in Fremont for a late bite and drinks since they're open until 1am everyday. The Irani chai was good, but low-key i was expecting masala chai and this was different. My bf really enjoyed his saffron Irani chai and my chai. Maybe next time I come, I check out their food items. Super casual place and parking can be tough since it's so popular but I found street parking and walked over. read more

Quick trip down to Deccan Morsels and we ordered (just a couple of folks ahead of us and as the sun set the line just got serpentine) the Bun Maska and Irani Chai--both were absolutely magical! The Bun Maska was a true delight, with a warm, pillowy-soft bun slathered generously with rich, creamy butter. It was perfectly toasted on the outside, making for a wonderful mix of textures with each bite. The Irani Chai was equally impressive, with a deep, aromatic flavor that's unique to authentic Irani-style tea. It was rich, slightly sweet, and had a smooth, velvety finish--perfectly complementing the Bun Maska and transporting us right to the streets of India (Hyderabad, Mumbai etc). Deccan Morsels is an express-style spot with limited seating, ideal for a quick, flavorful bite. It can get busy, and finding parking during peak hours can be a bit challenging, though there are spots in the surrounding shopping complex. Lines can form during rush times, but the quality of the food makes it well worth the wait. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a taste of authentic, flavorful bites in Fremont! read more

Super casual spot with a chill sit-out vibe (just remember to clean up after yourself). The Irani chai was just okay, a bit too milky for my taste. But the Chicken 65 with roomali roti totally hit the spot,tasty and not too spicy, which was perfect. Bun maska was the real MVP though soft, fluffy, and just perfect. read more

The food here is fantastic! It's always a challenge with the wait time but they have improved on the service recently and being very quick I have come here multiple times and the food never failed to surprise me- it's consistently good, they have reminded me of the street food in Hyderabad. Bun maska and the chicken shawarma are a must try read more

Great chai and bun Maska. Quick service and a simple place! Good pit stop if you're in South bay.

I found my favorite chicken shawarma place in the bay! It's made a bit differently than other shawarmas - they use a thinner wrapper, the chicken is noticeably spicy and there are some crunchy veggies in between along with mayos. Order online and pick up in 20-30 minutes. Given how bad the parking situation is here, I'd order online then go spend 20 mins finding parking and viola the best chicken shawarma awaits. Also, tried the Chai and the bun with butter cream, both are really good. There is something about the Chai they put in, it tastes more sophisticated than the Apni Mandi chai. But I like all chais.. read more

The food is tasty, freshly prepared and pretty authentic, however, it's a huge shame the Biryani chef has left for pastures new. It was delicious! Unfortunately, the hygiene standards are rather poor with many uncleaned tables and dirty restrooms. The staff casually watched me clean the table we sat at, believe it or not. Whether in India or in the US, cleanliness is next to godliness so, please, do hire a full-time cleaner. Perhaps raise the menu prices a little in order to do so. I'm sure most folk would rather that! read more

Food: All stars for the food. Chicken 65 and Rumali is consistently delicious and their Zafrani chai is on the sweeter side but a generous portion if you're into that. Ambience: It's not just the place that makes the vibe but the guests too - it's crowded, shoulder-rubbing train vibes, poorly managed lines, no separate pick up and dine in lines, and TONS of just MEN sitting around and standing around the parking lot, and zero etiquette. It's consistently dudes simply present who shall not fail to check ya ladies - what's up with that ‍ Decor: Brownie points for at least making an effort in interiors and so your selfies and snaps will look cool. The vibe COULD be cool and cozy like their claim - with a better ordering system, and optimizing their cook line with such a small menu. Service: Always ordered to go because the lines are hella long and completely disorganized. Good luck finding a table for dining in. read more

No soap, no toilet paper or seat cover. There were 4-5 persons standing at the counter one of them asked my name during order but didn't care to announce when order was ready. Waited 15 min to ask and got a rude reply that its ready and sitting on their side of counter. A gentleman from their staff or their known was clicking photographs sitting adjacent on a table. Don't know if he was checking the lens's or discreetly clicking customers. Tea is overdose of sugar from a pre made container. read more

Street food place with chai and small plate street food. Not fancy but quick and easy Indian fast food. Place is super popular.

Have been waiting to review this gem for a long time. 5 months back spotted this restaurant while I was driving around. I told my wife about this place and we wanted to try it out for a while. Once we got some onion samosa and bun maska which was awesomatic of the aaromale the second time I toook my brother in law and we got some chicken 65 roll and goat dum biryani. It was To go and I didn't get to taste it well but my BIL loved it. Third time ,me and wifey went to have Iranian chai and bun maska, bun was like cloud in the mouth. Irani chai was so good. Fourth time , me and wife went with lot of hunger for Saturday lunch. It was so packed as expected, goat dum biryani was asked to be ordered from the kiosk machine , while chicken 65 order was taken by the staff. Very quick service. 1. Chicken 65 - comes with rumali roti which was so soft, chicken 65 was bit wet but flavourful. My wife being from andhra told this dish was close to what she used to eat in Hyderabad. Trust me it was so delicious and mouthwatering.. we gulped the chicken in no time. 5 out of 5. Must try dish in Deccan morsels. 2. Goat dum biryani - here comes the baahubali of all, best biryani ever I have had in the Bay Area. Being a Chennaite, I'm fond of Chennai Biryanis but today after tasting this delicious biryani from Deccan , I must tell you this is the most Authentic Hyderabad food I have had after Dallas. Their meats were juicy and generous pieces were served. Rice was so fluffy and flavourful. Spice level was just right . You get half egg , raita and salaan. Really the OG dish. Will recommend everyone to try this dish and you won't get disappointed. 2 people can share one biryani. There is so much quantity . 10 out of 5 for this dish. Don't expect too much ambiance, if you're lucky just grab a seat and have your food there. You will not regret. Value for money. Overall 30$ plus tax for the 2 dishes for 2 people. Wifey and I had happy tummy with blast of flavours in our mouth. read more

I used to love the Irani chai here, but over the last few months, it has become watery and lacks the rich milkiness it once had. I also tried the new Kadak chai, but it was honestly undrinkable--I couldn't take more than two sips. Sadly, I've decided not to come back. read more

Went here after hearing a lot of hype. We ordered romali roti, chicken 65, shawarma, and a mutton dish (can't remember the exact name). The shawarma was spicy but really tasty. Both the romali roti and chicken 65 were delicious--full of flavor and perfectly done. The mutton dish, however, was disappointing--nothing fresh about it, wouldn't order that again. I was so hungry forgot to click pictures. read more

Love the bun maska here. Super soft, slightly sweet and melted in my mouth. Onion samosa: tasty, crispy, flavourful filling and tasted pretty authentic. Loved this for a snack. My brother had the chicken 65 rumali roti and he loved it. The chicken was crispy and well cooked, tasty wrapped in warm soft and freshly cooked rumali roti. He also had the mutton biryani which he said is good. Since am pregnant have not had the OG irani chai but will definitely give it a try. Must visit!! Service is super quick. Always super packed with tons of customers. read more

Disclaimer: this is a review of somebody used to a pakistani style doodh patti chai. Came here to try the chai after a hike. Ordered the shaahi tukda and zafrani chai. The shaahi tukda was its supposed to be The service was fast, there is limited seating and parking. Gets crowded very fast, they got nice interior decoration I would say the chai could be better, the saffron had not seeped in because saffron takes a while to release flavor and it was just sprinkled ontop the normal chai. Like its alright, lowkey if you want chai just go to pakwan across the street and grab chai for $1, bundoo khan had really good chai too as another option Place to discard trash needs improvement and very busy and needs better seating read more

TLDR : Great food - some of the best chai! Slow service (busy place) and elegant ambiance /setup We tried Deccan Morsels as this place came highly recommended for its chai, Bun maska and rumali rotis. The food was really good - the bun maska and shami kebabs were really soft with the right flavors. The rumali roti was great and the the chicken was nice and flavorful. The chai was the best offering and even on a hot afternoon the chai was really refreshing! Reducing a star because we were not able to order extra rumali rotis because they don't allow it stating they want to ensure enough stock to last them through the day! read more

It was our first time trying Deccan Morsels and leant about it from Instagram first and some of my friends who visited recently. The atmosphere was mostly good - not too busy but which was good since usually it's quite packed with lines y going outside. Lighting was beautiful as you can see from the pics. The food was decent, but a bit underwhelming. The chicken shawarma was the best; the lamb samosas were also ok and the chicken 65 was ok too nothing exceptional.. a bit over fried. We experienced slow service during our visit. It took them forever to get our items. I might go back for the shawarma but that's about it. read more

One of the best irani chai I ever had in my life. The combination of bun maska dipped in the chai takes me back to India. Rumali roti and chicken 65 is must try for evening snack. There is not much place to sit indoor and parking is very limited. Tip: try the chai in the night. The guy in the night shift mixes the milk and black tea with right amount.
