Raunak is part of a corner plaza and there's parking available but it could be limited during peak eating hours. It has a classy, beautiful interior that has great ambience for dinner with friends or a date with your partner. The staff were friendly, nice, and attentive. I ordered the mutton biryani! It had such a beautiful and colorful presentation from the veggies, meat, and rice combined. It was a bit spicy but it was paired with a great amount of raita to mellow out the flavors. Lots of pieces with bone in, it was tender and delicious. The staff were so nice in setting the mood for our birthday guests by even playing happy birthday in the background. Great experience for fine dining in Milpitas!

They were happy to make a reservation for us as well. For me personally, I ordered the Butter Naan & Chicken Tikka Masala. To be honest, I have had better tikka masala elsewhere... but it was pretty decent here! It was REALLY CREAMY and the flavors still came through. Chicken wasn't tough and the portions were fine. The Saag Aloo was flavorful and spicy! The consistency was really thick too. I also tried the Mutton Biryani and it was delicious! Flavored really well and the sheep was tender. Quite spicy!

You can tell they really put so much work into the wall art as well as the installation of a decorative power line, to make it feel like you are dining outside on a nice, balmy day even if it's actually the middle of winter. The pani puri station is so fun and whimsical, the server prepares each bite for you while you pick which sauce you want to go with it. I felt like I was at a night market. We also ordered the pav bhaji which was hot, buttery and delicious. Tied together with an order of garlic naan and chicken tikka masala, our meal was sumptuous and so satisfying. This is our fourth time coming here and we will definitely be back with our friends and family.

Food is as usual great here!…read more But I'm not writing this review about the food. I wanted to share a wonderful experience I recently had. Just two minutes before entering the restaurant for a snack, I tripped in the parking lot over a parking stopper and fell flat. After being seated, I realized my knee and elbow were bruised and throbbing with pain. My daughter asked for some ice, and the young man at the reception immediately brought a pack of ice. Surprisingly, he also returned with band-aids, alcohol strips, and gauze. I was truly impressed by this kind and thoughtful gesture, and I wanted to share it here as a different but very positive experience.

We ordered the Pachimirchi paneer, chicken tikka burger, veg puffs, garlic naan, street-style noodles, chai, and falooda, and every dish was flavorful and hit the spot. They are known for their very generous Mandi dish, which is a Yemeni dish that gained popularity in Hyderabad due to Yemeni immigrants. It's a combination of flavored rice and a variety of meats. The restaurant was super busy, which speaks to how popular it is, but the service was pretty slow & they were out of many food items as a result. The restaurant has regular seating and, in addition, cute closed booths where you can sit at a low table in the traditional Indian way. They also have some funky prison booths with handcuffs, etc. If you aren't in a massive rush, the food is definitely worth the wait for some solid Indian fusion and street-style favorites. I will be definitely going back to try their famous Mandi Ambiance: 10/10 Service: 8/10 Food: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Seating: indoor & privacy booths Parking: Ample, free parking available Price: $30-$50 per person

The restaurant is super clean and spacious, with plenty of tables that can accommodate large parties. Service was super friendly and one of the reasons I will come back! The butter chicken was pretty good, the garlic naan was very garlicky but a little bit burnt, and the butter naan was great. Total price was $33 for an order of butter chicken, garlic naan and butter naan. Portions are kind of small for that price point, but overall my cravings are satisfied!

Never tasted so sour Rasam in my life. I am yet to try other dishes so giving the benefit of doubt to the restaurant by giving neutral 3/5 rating. Perhaps other dishes are not as sour as what I experienced. The waiter however was very nice and the ambience good. This looks like mostly a takeout place near Walmart and Big Al's. I will be back to try their biryani and give a final review.

Updating my review from a few months ago since I recently had an extremely disappointing dining…read moreexperience here. Please don't give your business to an establishment that is so disrespectful towards its customers. We arrived just before 9:15pm for dinner on a Friday evening and were promptly seated. The restaurant wasn't crowded and there were only a few families dining at the time. There was only one person running the entire restaurant floor and it took him a little while to come take our order. We decided to share a chicken kottu paratha and a chicken dosa and while the kottu paratha was pretty delicious, the chicken dosa was a disaster in more ways than one. In the bay area, where you're surrounded by tons of great dosa options, I was genuinely surprised to be served a dosa that was so tasteless and filled with completely dried out tough chicken. Anyway, while we were only 10 minutes into our subpar meal, the square payment device and 2 to-go boxes were placed on our table without a single word from the waiter. Because it was only about 8 minutes left till closing time for the restaurant, we figured that the sole waiter managing the floor must be trying to wrap things up. Anyway, we paid within a few minutes and tried to continue with our meal. The waiter however kept pacing next to our table and made it amply clear that he wanted us to pack our leftovers and leave. As we were packing our leftovers, the waiter turned off all the restaurant lights except one. As we hurriedly left the restaurant, I looked at my watch and it was only 10:04. I eat out a lot and at most restaurants all over the country and worldwide, customers are not seated after the closing time but customers who have been seated and served are allowed to finish their meal. Even if Namma has different rules of operation, they could have easily communicated the same politely and not been so passive-aggressive and disrespectful. Needless to say, this was my last time at Namma. Fellow Yelpers, you've been warned of the service you will receive at this establishment.

I came here on a Saturday evening for dinner. I've been walking by this place for about a month and…read morefinally had the chance to check it out. I was seated immediately, no wait, and the restaurant only had a few tables of people. The inside was bright and had plenty of tables. The noise was mainly from the mall. There was a large neon blackboard with the day's special clearly stated. There were two people working the dining room taking orders, cleaning up tables, and bringing out the food. They were friendly taking and confirming my order. The menu covered all the usual dishes you might see at an Indian restaurant. And since one of the specials was butter chicken combo, I ordered that along with a paneer Manchurian with garlic naan. I didn't know what Manchurian flavor meant but it's like orange chicken but instead with paneer. It was pretty good. The paneer seemed to be pan fried before tossed in the sauce and topped with green onion. I would order this again. The butter chicken was also pretty good. It wasn't too heavy with butter and had a good amount of chicken. Chunks of chicken just floating in the sauce. The garlic naan was flatter and crispier than other Indian restaurants I've been too, but it was ok and did its job of being a vessel for the sauces. I would come back to try the wraps and curry next time. Other tables ordered these items and they looked really good.

Initially we came here for chai and pakoras but our LO wanted to eat goat curry and naan at 4 pm!!…read moreSo it had to happen. Glad that I got to try it- Goat was juicy, well cooked, flavored. Flavorful but not extremely spicy gravy. Garlic naan- one of the best naans in the bay area!!! Naan traditionally does not have yeast in the dough, has to be kneaded in a peculiar manner, is made fresh daily and rolled, stretched out thin and cooked in the tandoor or similar apparatus.. they nail all the points that make naan distinct from other Indian bread types.

This serves two people with lots of left overs and my bill came to $34 and change with 20% tip included! The math isn't mathing. Not sure how they are staying open with rising costs but they've been around for a year so they are doing something right. Go here if you want yummy Indian food, great service in a wonderful clean and new setting on a budget. I know.. sounds too good to be true. It's true. Thank me later.
