    Chocolate Dosae
    Molly L.

    We ordered the chocolate dosae and were just mildly impressed. The dosae texture was very gritty and for a sweet dessert, it was a little too savory, with a butter and salt flavor to the dosa. The chocolate inside was good, but it sort of was overtaken and overpowered by the dosae itself. Maybe we will try one of the savory dosas in the future, but our experience here was just okay.

    Dosae in Hayward, East Bay, is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic South Indian food. The restaurant offers a wide variety of dosas and other South Indian dishes that are both flavorful and satisfying. With its welcoming ambiance, attentive service, and reasonable prices, Dosae provides a delightful dining experience that keeps customers coming back for more. The dosas at Dosae are authentic Bangalore style. They are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The accompanying coconut chutney and sambar are fresh and flavorful, complementing the dosas well. We absolutely loved the masala dosae which is definitely a must try here. The set dosae and sagu masala dosae were delicious. We also tried their rava idlis which were soft and fluffy and the madduru vadas were crispy and savory. For beverages we went for filter coffee and mango Lassi. Overall we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend them.

    Sagu Masala Dosae
    Josie C.

    F O O D + Sagu masala dosae: A fermented savory rice and lentil crepe that comes with coconut chutney, sagu (like vegetable korma), and pickles. The portions of sides were generous, and I felt like I should have ordered another dosae to finish them. *Be aware that Bangalore/Bengaluru style doesn't have masala potatoes or sambar. It came out a little soggy maybe from being packed in a closed box? S E R V I C E + Order at the kiosk at the counter for dine in or takeout + Food came out pretty quickly A M B I A N C E + Casual and minimal dining space in a cloud kitchen + Ample parking in the lot outside T L ; D R Bangalore/Bengaluru style dosae in a cloud kitchen. Overall, I enjoyed the sagu masala dosae and all the sides; however, I wish they had an option for a thicker and crispier Benne dosae like Darshini in Milpitas.

Everything we tried was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The service was just as impressive. We were seated right on time, and our food came out promptly without ever feeling rushed. A special thank you to Jass and Dari, who took excellent care of us throughout the evening. They were attentive, friendly, and welcoming, and truly helped make our evening feel special.

He seemed snappy when I asked to bring the roti first as an appetizer...(we were hungry) and he just said "it's coming". And sure enough we didn't get it as an appetizer but came with the rest of the food. Here is where the negative experience begins. We got a lamb curry when we ordered a lamb biryani. Instead of apologizing for the mix up, the server took no responsibility and said it was our fault for saying the wrong thing. I said there was absolutely NO way we said the wrong thing. He still tried to argue and say he repeated the order twice (he didn't). I said look man, it's not my fault you messed up, we would never order that. Then, we got the mixed tandoori grill and there was a HUGE hair sticking straight up. I didn't get to snap a picture. This server really asked if we wanted another one... He did eventually say his bad for the mix up and did bring us another naan basket for free so I give him credit for trying to make it right after the fact. But then the check came and he bypassed the tip after I tapped. He said, "the tip is for the restaurant, I only take cash." Like wow, not even the opportunity for me to tip the restaurant? And to expect everyone to only tip cash for him? Food was for sure amazing but this server really needs to get trained on service. To not give the customer an opportunity to tip the restaurant is unfair for the workers. Edit: I had to take another star off because when I got home to eat our leftovers I found ANOTHER hair literally embedded in our chicken! Absolutely disgusting...

    Favorite Indian Restaurant, Hayward…read more August 2026 My nephew was craving for Tandoori and Butter chicken so we came here for much. We were served with appetizer called Papadum (Papad) which is are thin, crispy discs made from lentil, chickpea, or rice flour. They are served as an appetizer with mint chutney or tamarind sauce. They were so good! Next we ordered the Tandoori chicken and their lunch specials: Butter chicken, Chicken Vinaloo and Paneer Tikka Masala. All came with naan and side dishes. We also ordered the onion naan too. All the chicken entrees were very tender and fall off the bones. The Chicken Vinaloo was my favorite because of the tender, juicy chicken and the Vinaloo sauce was a tad spicy which I loved! I need to order an entree by itself next time! There was a rice pudding as a side dish they had and it was really good! It used to be plain and bland which I didn't like, now they added sliced almonds, golden raisins and other stuff that made it sweet. Perfect way to end the meal! Services were excellent! The waiter had all our orders correct and he was attentive. Definitely coming back for the weekend when they serve the buffet! Highly recommend this place.

The fresh grilled meats served table side is a nice idea but poorly executed. There weren't very many and it kept running out by the time it reached our table. The lamb was good but the grilled chicken kebabs were dry. My favorite buffet offerings were all the veggies plus the tandoori chicken and naan. The zucchini, cauliflower and chickpea dishes were delicious. The tandoori chicken was fresh and cooked perfectly. Unfortunately the meat curries were bland for me with little spice and heat. Plus the chicken in all the curries were very dry. I'm happy I tried it but not sure I'd come back.

The buffet is available on weekends (I believe from 11 AM to 2 PM) and offers a nice selection of flavorful dishes, along with free drinks!

The staff is friendly and attentive, and they do a great job keeping the buffet stocked. Whenever a tray started running low, fresh food appeared almost immediately. That attention to detail made the experience feel well-managed and welcoming. The atmosphere is another plus.

Over the years, the quality and flavor have always stayed consistent. Their butter chicken, curry, biryani rice, and samosas never disappoint, and the jalebi and gulab jamun are some of my favorite desserts ever. The food is always flavorful, comforting, and authentic. The staff has always been welcoming, and it truly feels like a hometown favorite for me. If a restaurant can keep you coming back for over a decade, you know they're doing something right. Highly recommend!

We got the pani puri, the samosas, and we both got their lunch combo. The pani puri was like eating stale tortillas, like they bought the economy pack and will keep using them regardless of freshness. The samosas were good, not really rememberable or better than other Indian food spots. The bf got their butter chicken and the sauce was good. But I don't go to Indian places to get the butter chicken. I actually don't remeber what I got for my lunch combo, but it wasn't anthing to write home about. Pricing was okay given it was the lunch time special pricing. Honestly the atmosphere felt like a family shop where no one wants to work there but it pays the bills. There's a counter filled with unlabeled treats. They looked good but I had no idea what they were. Service was the minimum which doesn't really bother me but some people enjoy it. Felt really cramped filled with tables and people who think they're having an exotic lunch instead of McDonald's. This place is not for me and after I told by bf this he agreed. Kinda hard to find, it's like a blink and you miss it. Parking is sparse, I parked down the street.

We have our favorites from their menu but they host a variety of curries, proteins, and small bites/street eats. Panipuri - crispy balls ready to be loaded up with lentils, delicious fillings and sauces, these mouthfuls are great for starters but you'll find yourself eating these throughout the meal not only because you're hungry but also because you just can't get enough of them. Samosas - hearty fried dumplings packed with potatoes that are perfect for eating on the go. Great by itself or with sauces and curry, these hot pockets are a burst of flavor that will stuff you up. Goat curry - full of flavor and a bit on the spicy end for those sensitive to capsaicin. Pair with naan or rice and you'll be golden, from the tastes you'll be experience as well as the heat! Butter paneer/chicken - the sweetness of the curry is subtle but the creaminess is what will win you over. Smothered over chicken or paneer, this is a delicious palate pleaser. Biryani - solid staple, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Great by itself or paired with some curry or a grilled entree. Salmon - delicious but a bit overcooked for my liking but in a pinch, omega-3s can be supplemented in this meal. Overall, Phulkari satisfies our craving for Indian curry any day and it's great knowing that the experience will consistently be a good one anytime those cravings come up. We haven't had a chance to dine in but would welcome the opportunity to visit for a sit down. For now, they're still our go-to for Indian cuisine when we are in the area. Unsure of where you'll end up settling for food or not having the time or space to cook an elaborate meal packed with flavors and aromas? Phulkari pulls through as the restaurant of choice!

My husband said it's the best chicken tandoori he's ever had. It was perfectly seasoned with a great smoky char. The goat curry was phenomenal! It was rich and the depth of flavor was perfect with naan. We ordered garlic naan but I think plain naan would've complimented the curry better . The garlic naan was a little overpowering. All that came to about $45 including tax and tip for two people . Parking was smooth since they have a pretty generous parking lot. I'd recommend this place for family meals and lunch meetups.
