Finally found an authentic Marathi spot! We tried the Goat Curry, and it was mouth-watering; the meat was incredibly tender and the masala was perfectly spiced. The Bhakari was also excellent. A major standout was the Batata Wada--it's fresh and clearly not double-fried like many other places; easily the best I've had in a long time. The new decor looks great, and the staff were exceptionally friendly, treating us with total respect. It was wonderful to see a young couple managing the place with such passion. Thank you for your hard work--highly recommend! Keep it up! read more

Found an authentic maharashtrain restaurant in Sunnyvale. Ordered puneri chicken thali and meethi bhaji bhakri. The tambda rassa, the pandhra rassa plus the chicken sukka were the best. The thali was served with soft bhakri and roti. The taste of entire thali is just homemade. Meethi was bhaji was just ok. I will not recommend it. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is refreshing unpretentious. Just warm hospitality, the intoxicating aroma of freshly ground kolhapuri spices and the kind of energy that says we are here to feed you not impress you. If you know kolhapuri food, you will feel right at home. read more

Dehaati - Veg thali - Indian Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Tried Dehaati a few weeks ago and were impressed. Honestly, when I first read the name, it sounded more like a rustic North Indian spot, but to my surprise it turned out to be a Maharashtrian thali place. We were a pretty big group, so we ended up trying a lot of items. My daughter had the kids' chicken thali and she loved it, not too spicy but very flavorful. I had the Kolhapuri mutton thali and it was pretty solid. That thin mutton stock gravy (tambda rassa) was just heaven in a bowl. So food-wise, full marks. The service, though, could be better. It took a long time for the food to arrive, and several members of our group were waiting quite a while. They also missed giving us the appetizer in our thalis. I realized it too late, after we had already finished and paid. They did give me a small container of their chicken lonche to try when I brought it up, but when I had it the next day, it was too dry and rubbery for my liking, so maybe a blessing in disguise? LOL. The decor inside is nice and the vibe is casual. Hope they iron out some of these chinks as they continue. Definitely a place we would come back to. read more

They claimed to serve authentic Maharashtra flavor.... And they delivered!!! Being Maharashtrian myself I have strong opinions when it comes to my food. I'm so glad that this place worked so well for me. I went with the big group so tried many things. Puneri chicken Thali: Pune is region in Maharashtra which is famous for vegetarian food. I was curious about chicken dish. In rainy season near rural areas there used to be some small roadside eateries which used to serve chicken cooked on wood fire with amazing Smokey flavours. I took one bite of this dish and it reminded me of that Smokey flavor. Perfect ! I highly recommend this. Kolhapuri Mutton : Kolhapur is the region which is famous for meat and spicy broths - red broth( tambada rassa) and white broth (pandhara rassa) these rassa were delicious and very close to real deal. Mutton itself needed bit more kick to qualify for authentic Kolhapuri but taste is good. They have kept spice level of meat moderate which is good for our NRI crowd. Thecha chicken : spicy chicken with green chilli marination. Another perfect authentic taste. Obviously this is hot yet really Yummy ! Quantity is really great, One more star there ! To balance spices try their refreshing drinks. I would recommend Kokum sarbat which helps cool down acidity. The place was very crowded. Hence the service was bit slow but attentive ! I need to come back to try more dishes ! read more

If you're going to Dehaati - Maharashtrian Kitchen expecting the usual restaurant routine, servers checking in every few minutes, small talk between bites, you might be surprised. And honestly, that's the point. Here, the food takes center stage. Ordering is via QR code, and once your meal arrives, you're left alone to do what really matters: eat. No interruptions mid-mouthful, no performative service, just you and a table full of deeply authentic Maharashtrian flavors. It felt less like dining out and more like being invited into someone's home for a proper feast. The Kolhapuri mutton (I had it as part of the thali) was one of my favorites. Rich, bold, and a good balance of spices - the kind of dish that doesn't hold back. The pandhra rassa instantly transported me to Kolhapur, subtle and soulful, while the tambda rassa brought the flavor as its perfect counterpart. The alani rice was a nostalgic surprise, simple, comforting, almost childlike in the best way, like the kind served to toddlers (or adults) before they graduate to spicier fare. And the chicken pakoras? They felt like a clever riff on kanda bhaji with chicken, crispy, familiar, and a solid appetizer. The bhakri paired beautifully with the mutton, grounding the meal in exactly the way it should. Around the table, the chicken sukka brought back memories of slow, comforting Sunday lunches at home. And then there was the chicken thecha (kharda), just flat out incredible. A fiery green chili gravy that doesn't just wake you up, it rings your bell, in the best way possible. For those who know Hindi, this dish truly lives up to: "dimaag ki ghanti baja de!" This wasn't just a good meal. It got the flavors right, hit every nostalgic note, and for a moment, took me home. Easy 5 stars. read more

Last weekend thali quest - a fairly new restaurant, I kinda try new places in their 3 month of opening..as they (chef n restaurant) are more motivated to offer the best quality..and some do maintain for years. It's apparently a popular chain in Pune (I haven't tried in India)..especially for mutton curries. Try getting in prior to noon to avoid peak lunch time rush. Ordering is seamless with QR code on each table..and boy the service was rapid once order was placed ! Perhaps base thali's are already setup - it was a great experience. I ordered the egg thali and noticed rice portion and roti(chapathi) would be inadequate as I had starved n post a workout - so ordered additional side of rotis thru the QR code and was promptly served. Yes, the thali is not unlimited. Instead of another egg rassa, wish they had dry egg masala instead. The spice levels were just adequate and not too spicy. Being a pescatarian, wished there was a fish thali..and hope they would add in future. My spouse ordered their popular mutton thali which actually comes with egg curry, pandra rassa as well as bhakri (regional millet roti) n chapathi each. Heard the mutton was delectable and tender cooked and enjoyed the medium spice level too. Nice additional maharashtrian offering in Bay Area..will check out their vada pav and other menu items next time. But if you like chicken or mutton - definitely check this out! Parking can get tricky in small parking spot, although there are side street side or backside few spots in case if there is overflow during peak times. read more

Simple homey place for Maharashtrian regional cuisine. What Indians call "homely" meaning it evokes the fresh, healthful tastes of homecooked food. Thali is the focus; offered at lunch and dinnertime. The decor is spare but elegant, evoking the regional style. The best restaurants tap into nostalgia and emotion. We traveled in the Maharasthrian countryside to visit jyotalinga temples, and the experience at Dehaati stirred our memories of those vibrant green fields and rural villages. We tried all vegetarian dishes. The vadi had rich flavor of besan and came with a bright green chutney that we loved. The vegetarian thali was good. My favorite thing was the yellow dal; very clear, true flavor. I also liked the pink buttermilk, that had a unusual, savory, refreshing taste, that I think was kokum? The bhakri that came with it was a delight -- so fresh, soft, redolent with the wholesome taste of millet. Masala chai was hot and delicious. Our food was lovely, but looks like they really shine in their non-vegetarian dishes. My husband noticed the eyes of the non-vegetarian diners were glowing with satisfaction. Service was excellent. They responded quickly to our requests, despite the din and busyness of a full restaurant. Tables were full and everyone looked happy. read more

This is a relatively new place, so I want to provide pointed feedback, so they can make improvements. Plus - very friendly and helpful staff - online ordering system is very efficient - vada pav - veg thali - unique decorations - good ambiance Minus - kolhapuri food is supposed to be spicy - it was not spicy at all - the dishes had less salt in them - when we added salt, it got the flavors out more - the non veg thali had the red and white gravy but the value for money on the veg thali was a lot better - the chapati and Bhakri was too dry - not enough damping - noise level was high Also, the phone number listed on Yelp and Google is incorrect- hope they update it, so people can make reservations. read more

I read my fellow Yelp Elite, Pranathi's fabulous review of Dehaati Maharashtrian restaurant here on Yelp and rushed there tonight. The restaurant was fairly empty and the whiff of freshly fried vada pav was in the air. I was confident the food was going to be fab and it was! My husband and I ordered 2 kolhapuri mutton thalis, solkadhi, rava fry and alni rice. The thalis were very delicious! The pandhra ( white coconut base chicken stew) and tambda rassa (red chicken broth) were both on point and extremely satisfying. The mutton in the thali had that authentic masala from back home. For now, there is unlimited rassa (both) and chapati/bhakri on the thali per individual. They are in their soft opening phase and by the looks and taste of it, are doing a great job! It was wonderful to speak to Raj, who is from Mumbai and he went above and beyond to make our visit pleasant. Solkadhi was on the house for us and very delicious too! It had a prominent kokum flavor. We heard some people talk to Rohan, the face behind the delicious food here and I must say, there's some real good Regional Puneri food being served here. Finally we were served some ice-cream to end our meal which was also on the house to mark it an exceptional dinner. Dehaati was every bit delicious and on point and it must be on your list for your next visit. Be kind to them as they are still in their opening phase and are experimenting with flavors and portions. We cannot wait to visit again! read more

This restaurant serves kolhapur chicken and muttom thali and its closest to home if i had to choose from other restaurants in bay area. The tambda and pandhara rassa were as is you would get in kolhapuri. The food is not very spicy given that people from everywhere come to eat here. Enjoyed our thali here. Service can be slow. You could have to wait to get waiters attention. Ambiance is clean, washroom is clean, well kept. Hope the quality stays the same. read more

Dehaati - Mutton thali - Indian Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

***USP: food from the state of Maharashtra, India. Very similar to surmai, solkadhi. Flavorful curries, rassa, thali, solkadhi etc. ***AMBIANCE: simple yet colorful, restaurant is pretty spacious as well. ***FOOD: we got the thalis. I personally got the chicken kolhapuri thali which came with the chicken curry, a little egg curry, two varieties of rassa, two varieties of breads, rice, dessert and solkadhi. The rassas and breads are unlimited, rest of the items are not. The rassas were sublime and extremely soul satisfying. They were served piping hot as well. One rassa had a delicate yet rich taste of cinnamon. I thoroughly enjoyed the rassas and kept asking for more. The egg curry had a thick delicious gravy as well. The chicken curry lacked a bit of flavor aka salt and my reason for the reduced rating. Prices are also a little too high. The kids thali came with some kind of kichdi instead of the rassas. The kichdi was similar to congee and very delicious and heartwarming. read more

We visited this Bay Area Maharashtrian restaurant with friends and loved everything we ordered, which is super rare for us. We generally like about half of the items because each of us is picky in our own ways (and I'm pickier than them here because I grew up eating Marathi food at home), but here we loved every single item - right from the kokam sarbat to the tambda rassa and pandhra rassa, to the chapati. Totally worth a visit! read more

You know how some restaurants try to impress you? Dehati just feeds you. And that's a better deal. I went for the mutton Kolhapuri thali, which is exactly what you should do unless you enjoy regret. The mutton curry is the star, not loud, not trying to prove anything, just rich, tender, and deeply satisfying. With bhakri, it just clicks. No effort required. N's chicken thecha had zero interest in being polite. Bright, spicy, wakes you up instantly. If the mutton is a warm hug, the thecha is someone saying, "are you alive or what?" K's Puneri sukka chicken landed quietly and perfectly. That rare "this tastes like home" moment, which is basically the highest compliment food can get. The pandhara rassa and tambda rassa were solid, comforting, doing their job without needing attention.Some things showed up and kept expectations realistic: Solkadhi just ok Alani rice was... rice Chicken pakora existed But you don't really care, because the mains carry everything. By the end, you're full, happy, and a little slower moving ready for a nap. Just someone cooked properly for us happy. 5*** . Not because everything was perfect, but because the important things were. read more

Amazing food and service! You have to try this place. We ordered a thali, from rasa to curry to bhakri everything was good. Although one red masala rasa and gulabjamun was okayish, both these items need improvement. Gulabjamun was too sweet. But everything else was top notch. Next, we had Vada pav, chicken pakode, chai, kotham vadi... all of them tasted really good. I just hope it maintains this quality going forward. I am not a Marathi, but went with a friend who was from the coastal area of Maharashtra, and this place is approved from both of us in terms of taste. Ambience is also small and cozy, although really liked their wall hangings. read more

3.5 stars. We only tried the Veg Thali and Egg Thali. The food was tasty, but for the amount of roti/rice served, the sides were very less in quantity. For the Egg Thali, there were two egg dishes and one dal- no vegetables at all. read more

Soul satisfying food! I am so glad that the maharashtrian food scene in Bay Area is getting great representation! The Puneri chicken thali was a BOMB!!!! As authentic as it can get, juicy tender chicken and the solkadhi was perfection! The first bite and I was in heaven! The jowar bhakri is so on point, soft and layered, although just an accompaniment but it stood out! Generally other places offer rice bhakri but the jowar bhakri is more authentic to majority of maharashtra. Loved the marathi music playing in the background, overall experience made me feel right at home! It's still in a soft landing phase and the owner personally came to get feedback, the love and passion definitely shows! I would HIGHLY recommend this place to EVERYONE! MUST TRY! read more

Visited for a quick dinner during their soft opening and absolutely loved it! We tried the Chicken Thali and Mutton Thali truly authentic, Gavran flavors.

Dehaati - Chicken thali - @desify - Indian Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

will return many times over and soon. It was quite the pleasant accident discovering this place this weekend. Our intended food truck destination was a failed dinner plan because of the rain. It as been a long time since I have been to an eat place and felt my taste buds do the "happy dance". The chapati and rotis are to die for and nearly 10/10 on the vada pav. What I loved the most is the customer service. Every 2 - 5 minutes there would be someone bringing a group into the restaurant and away from the cold rain where a hungry large group waiting their turn outside. A must try if you are a foodie or someone who longs for the taste of home every once in a while read more

The best place for authentic Maharashtrian food in the Bay Area. I would highly recommend trying the bhakris, tambda rassa and pandhra rassa. The chicken and mutton curries are very delicious and fresh. Solkadhi is the perfect way to wash it all down. The simplicity of a good home-cooked meal is what you will get here. Excellent service! Ambience is warm and cozy. Perfect place for a good meal with your family and friends. read more

Dehaati is the absolute best Indian food in Sunnyvale, look no further. The food alone speaks for itself, however, if you have the opportunity to dine in the atmosphere is very relaxed, authentic Maharashtrian and beautifully decorated. The food is flavorful and bold, the consistency is always on par. I got the Mutton Thali and my wife got the Jowar Bhakri and Pune Style - Chicken Sukka . it's so perfectly cooked with right spices and cravable, the texture and flavor doesn't compare to any other. The mutton curry was cooked and seasoned to perfection with the Tambda Rassa. Some of the other dishes I recommend are the solkadhi and the unstoppable delicious Pandhra rassa ,you will be asking for more which they gladly provide with the thali number of times. read more

We had dinner at this newly opened place and loved the clean food with great taste but no overwhelming spices. Food ordering is by scanning QR code, food arrives pretty promptly and decor is beautiful. Menu is limited but it's best to have smaller menu with quality food than a larger one with mediocre quality. Ww ordered kothimbir wadi which was crisp and fresh and served with 2 chutnies, one mutton thali and one egg thali, both with good quantity of food. Overall we loved the experience and will be back soon. read more

Had the Kolhapuri Mutton Thali and loved it! Spice levels were perfect, not too spicy and not too mild. One thing is that I wish they would offer unlimited refills of the tambda/pandhra rassa. I ended up finishing it too early since it was so good. Probably the best Maharashtrian food in the bay area. Just wish that they would increase the portion sizes for a $28 thali. read more

Dehaati - Kolhapuri Mutton Thali - Indian Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Our first visit to Dehati and we were impressed with the ambience and interiors which are uniquely and tastefully done giving the Maharashtrian look and feel! Service was prompt too We ordered the Kolhapuri Chicken thali and the Puneri Chicken Thali Off the bat the gavran chicken sukha in the puneri thali was way better in taste and flavor than the chicken masala in the kolhapuri thali. The sol kadhi was very tasty as was the basundi and gulab jamun. The tambda, pandhra and alani rassa was authentic though a bit on the oily side. Sizable amount of chapati and jowar bhakri However, overall I feel these thalis could have been enhanced for the price. Adding a traditional maharashtrian vegetable prepation and koshimbir with peanuts to it to complete the thali instead of the egg curry would be more appropriate read more

One word "Delicious!!!" Tasty authentic style food. We ordered chicken thali and also kids thali. Food was excellent!! Will surely go back again. read more

We recently visited Dehati Sunnyvale. It serves amazing Maharastrian style Mutton and Chicken thali. The food tasted fresh and full of real homemade flavors. I tried Mutton thali, Chicken thali, Chicken pickle and chicken Kharda. The gravy was not so spicy but very flavorful. Chicken pickle and chicken kharda were bang on. We tried vada pav and kothimbir vadi. Both of the dishes were very tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the service was quick. Overall, it's a great spot if you love spicy, tasty Maharashtrian food -- especially non-veg thali dishes. read more

If someone wants to try the thali then they should be ready to finish it all by themselves as the rule says thali strictly cannot be shared. Mediocre mutton curry. Actually pretty tasteless. Not flavour came out of the kolahpur mutton besides some salt and whatever coconut or poppy seed they used in ground paste for curry. The bhakri is ok. Better restaurants serving maharashtrian food in the same price range with lots of flexibility and variety/good quality are already avaible throughout the Bay Area. I would not recommend for lunch or dinner given the attitude of the staff. May be pickup some snacks but we did not try that so cannot comment on that. read more

Very good Maharashtrian cuisine. The veg thali with bhaji, paneer sabji, varan bhaat, jowar roti, and kothimbir vadi was very tasty and felt authentic.
