This is an overdue review. A few months ago I went in to place an order for samosas for the following day (which was a Monday). The young man at the counter informed me that they were closed on Mondays but they give samosas to many of the Indian stores so I can pick them up from there. I told him I wanted a large order. He called the owner out from the kitchen. The owner/chef decided to come in just to make my order and I was so thankful! On Monday when I picked up my order, it was ready exactly on time and the Samosas were still piping hot. The chutneys were also packed well so I could transport everything easily. When I brought them to the event, they were a hit and the tray emptied fairly quickly. Will definitely order from them again and look forward to trying out the other food. It was a great experience! read more

Heard about Enker from a local Gujrati friend and decided to try it out. Tries Samosa, dhokla, khaman, and methi thepla. All items were excellent and very edible in terms of spice level. While we waited, many people came in for large orders of Khandvi, Dhokla, Khaman and Samosas. The person on the register was fast and efficient. The line moved quick despite the high volume. Overall, this place seemed like a reliable option for tea and snack time items for a few guests or a whole party. We did not try any dinner items but could tell from the aroma that things were being made fresh. Most options around tri-Valley cater to Telugu population and are intolerably spicy for average western-Indian palate. This is one of the few places that can satiate the foodies who enjoy good flavors but not the heat. We hope that Enker can keep the same mild spice level, excellent flavors and loyal customers. read more

Ordered the thali, very poor quality nothing was flavorful and it tasted stale - spent a lot and then had to throw away

Amazing small restaurant for Gujrati food and your daily roti requiremtns. They serve one of the best dhokla in Bay Area. Highly recommend.

Picked up samosas and rotis from here. Looks like a nice family-owned spot that serves up yummy food. The samosas were really good. Fresh, not overwhelmingly spicy like most spots and they were a hit with the group and went fast. The rotis were fresh and tasty as well. read more

Love Gujarati food from Enker. Patra is the must try item. Definitely recommend this place. read more

We had Enker Foods cater Indian food for an event for over 150 people. Communicating with the owner herself, Jayaben, long-distance was very easy. We received prompt attention throughtout the process. On the delivery date, the delivery was on time, however, of the more than a dozen items, the restaurant staff had missed sending one item. NO PROBLEM! The delivering person immediately went back and brought the missing item. The food deliverered, mostly Gujarati style, was delicious, the quantity was more than adequate, and our guests raved about the taste. We recommend Enker Food for any Indian event. read more

hesitant to give a low score just because it's a family-run place and the workers and such are very nice. Keep in mind everything is made desi spicy. Wife and I shared dahi puri and some other chaat- it was all excellent but just a little spicy. There are also some fun finds in the store here, and excelent mangoes. Only one or two small tables in the back, just fyi. Worthwhile place for chaat in San Ramon! read more

Khandvi & dhokla were very good but undhiyo was only so so. Dal makhani & shrikand puri were nice.

Excellent vegetarian food, Gujurati style. Excellent plant selection - Indian vegetables and exotic fruit trees. And the staff are very informative experts in nutrition and gardening. read more

Enker Food and Pharmacy sells Northern Indian food and groceries. didn't see any pharmacy. one table available for dine in. menu: vegetarian. didn't peruse. went for the daily thali (combo) eats: thali (8 items, 9.99) -food either premade or made to order. -everything tasted fresh after an 1/2 hour drive. (not roti, cooled...) -the roti looked like naan, this is the indian flatbread version. -had bhindl (okra) masala, chana (chickpea) masala, samosa, rice, gulab juman, mango lassi, dal (lentil) soup, -rose syrup with gulab juman made a nice sauce to eat with rice. 4.5 stars every item was carefully packaged. no intermingling of flavors. read more

Great spot for Indian groceries and plants! Knowledgeable staff and also they have tons of to go meals :)

4/8/2022: Upon the countless road trips visiting my Mother who resided in SF Bay Area, this is one place on my bucket list I knew I must visit! En route to Placerville, I stopped by knowing I needed purchasing rice; I decided buying the rice at Enker's. Outside Enker's, on display were so many fruit tree varieties for sale never seen at any Placerville/Tri-Counties' nurseries: Furthermore, I was visually stunned and deeply impressed by seeing first-hand exotic, fruit trees I haven't seen anywhere in USA except, the countries I've visited in the past! I will return purchasing bare-root fruit trees this coming fall 2022. read more

My family loves plants so we decided to drop by this place after seeing ads for the plants they sell here. The store sells Indian groceries, exotic fruits, exotic plants, and Indian food. We got a couple of sapodilla to take home and eat as well as some Indian dishes. The dishes were all very good but my favorite was the samosa. I love Indian samosa and this place made it very good! The owner of the store was very friendly and helpful. He made sure that we picked good fruit and also recommended us what dishes to order. read more

I've picked up food from this place several times, and it's always been simple, like home-cooked. Recently, I ordered khandvi and rasmalai for a friend's party, and they were amazing! The staff is very helpful and friendly too. read more

They get their breads right - rotis, pooris, theplas. The hot theplas are addictive. The fresh patra and khaman dhokla are decent. Highly recommend their piping hot chai and methi gota (with that very spicy green chutney) on a cold, rainy day. I appreciate that they make the food very fresh. It is piping hot as it comes out. Perhaps it is their hired cook on some days, but what did not work for me were their fresh curries. The chole had no salt. Undhiyu and chora nu shaak were super greasy. The only place that I know where you get fresh sugarcane juice. Inexpensive place for vegetarian food. I see myself going back for their rotis, theplas, chai, and methi gota. read more

Really fresh and yummy food. Thali is good and economical. Patra, aloo tikki, samosa are flavorful. Rotis are thin and great. Best dhokla in the bay area! Very friendly family running this business. read more

Undhiyu is terrible - it had more oil than a pakistani restaurant curry ! Completely floating in oil and the dumplings were hard as rock - had to throw them away ! Patras were burnt ! Their groceries are stale and more expensive than other stores and plants are super expensive ! read more

Sugar cane juice on a hot summer day! I've only had fresh sugar cane juice in Singapore and Hawaii. What a treat to find a place in San Ramon that makes it. They press the cane and pour it fresh. You have two options. You can get just the juice or sugar cane juice with fresh lemon and ginger, which won't turn dark after it's oxidized (but you'll probably drink it before that happens). We had both and both were amazing! The owner explained there's more sugar in a can of soda than in one cup of pure sugar cane. It is served at room temperature. We happened to have ice water in the car, so we just put some ice in our juices and they were that much better. I'm excited to try their food next time. The owner and his son are very nice and knowledgeable. read more

It was my husband's birthday earlier this week and he was craving his favorite food - Undhiyu, Shrikhand and Puri. Undhiyu is a traditional recipe from the state of Gujarat in India. We live in the Contra Costa County and would normally need to travel to the South Bay area to get some good Gujarati Food. But thanks to Enker Food and Pharmacy, we don't need to go any further from now on. We got Puris, Shrikhand and the Surti Undhiyu for dinner. The PURI (deep flat fried bread) was soft and puffed to a lightly-crisp golden-brown perfection. The SHRIKHAND was silky smooth and not overly sweet. And SURTI UNDHIYU was simply delicious. We also got a pack of THEPLAS (5 pcs). They were fresh and lightly spiced. The portion sizes were just perfect. The food was so close to what we ate back home. We would definitely be going back for more in the future. read more

My father/in-law rushed over here to buy plants and fruits that you cannot get anywhere else. The owner even set a plant aside because he had a feeling that he would be back. Mango tree, guava trees, bitter melon Atis (sweet sop) was the fruit that he bought Seems like this will be my FIL's go to place for hard to get fruit trees read more

This place is awesome. It's a small inconspicuous location that is owned and operated by a nice family. Despite the small location they have a lot to offer. This review is for the food. They have outstanding fresh made vegetarian and vegan Indian food items that make for an excellent grab and go option for lunch. The "daily Thalli" comes with 8 items and was absolutely delicious. This is a hidden gem that I am glad to have found. They also carry groceries there is a pharmacy and they even sell hard to find edible plants and fruit trees. read more

Absolutely delicious Samosas...I do a takeout quite regularly for a quick evening snack. This place is like a hidden gem. A couple of times did a quick run for a few groceries as well. Have been a regular here since moving into the neighborhood. read more

This is an Indian grocery store with a healthy nursery. They also have a small restaurant tucked in the back that serves some authentic Indian food. We love their fresh Samosas (hands down the best in the area), Dhokla, perfectly made rotis and undiyo. Glad to have found this place. read more

This is a store selling plants, Indian grocery and food in one place. They plan to have a pharmacy as well soon. Clean place, good food and tasty. Lunch thali at $10. Recommended. read more

How are these guys still in business? Food is absolutely terrible unless you're in a pinch and want to get sick for a few days. The older guy that works here is rude as can be. He's all smiles when he wants to sell you something but is totally unprofessional after the fact. Stay away. read more

I am writing this review for the Enker Nursery. I went on a weekend AM so didn't get to try the food. On weekends, don't expect food before noon. Just fyi. Great selection of plants. Those Mulberry Trees with ripe, sweet mulberries. Aaargh! If only I had a truck. They have a great select of grafted mango (alphonso), guava, arabian jasmine, curry leaf etc. I got a great deal on a mature passion fruit plant, bay leaf plant, night jasmine and curry leaf. Note to the reader: if you don't like the price, don't buy it. It is that simple. Would I pay 399$ for a mature, fruiting, 7-8' Mulberry tree? Darn right I would. Would I do the same for the Alphonso Mango plant? Umm. No, because I don't trust the weather. read more

Tried Daily Thali on Sunday. Dal curry is awful with bland taste. Chana Masala curry is watered down, felt like eating soaked chickpeas in water. Not worth eating here. read more

This is a very very special store. Might be the only place in Northern California selling such a wide variety of tropical fruit trees (many grafted or air layered too!). He had mango, sugar apple, longan, and many other trees only available for sale in southern california. The fresh tropical fruits available are top quality, and very hard to find. I got a chai Masala and sugar cane juice, both were amazing, but didn't try the hot food, though it looked very good. read more

poor service . I waited for 20 minutes and the lady kept talking to someone else in the outside verandah while the cook in the kitchen. would keep working on his stuff. They don't care about customers. very bad response read more

Really good home-style food in the nightly thali. We order at least once a week, and have never been disappointed. If you order directly from them, for pick up, please note that you have to listen to the entire (long) recorded message and then will be put through to the store. Don't press "2" for take out, as the recording days - it doesn't work. Just hang in there and wait for the connection. read more

I had a take out recently for dinner. I asked what is available, was told chana masala and veg kolhapuri. When i went to the website, realized both were part of their lunch menu. They charged close to $9 each for take out, i could see they were reheated and boxed - the chana masala is all mashed up and soft. If the order is not prepared fresh why are you charging so much? The panneer item was made fresh and is done well - well worth the $9 The rotis are freshly made and done nice. My review is mixed - need to try few more times before i conclude The ambience is very nice and welcoming read more

We went to check out their plants that are advertised on Nextdoor. We met the son of the owner, great young man in his early teens. I had some questions about the plants and initially I was going to google them but the young man had all the answers to all my questions! He knew more than most of the people I've talked to at Home Depot! Can't wait until Feb when they get more plants, I'll definitely be back! read more

Delicious vegan food made hot to order. A must try is the sugar cane drink, made fresh onsite! Get the ginger and lemon! This is a lovely family business addition to the San Ramon community and I hope they stay around. read more

Good food! Shahi paneer and aloo paratha were great :) Shrikhand could have been made better. Overall nice service!

Bought 'Sitaphals' here at a very exorbitant price but, don't regret it. The people there, drove the fruit in from the airport and handed them to the customers without much waiting. Experiencing a mouthful was well worth every penny. read more

Amazing food, groceries, mangoes and plants. Their good is one of the most authentic Gujarati Indian Meal I have had. The owner and his kids are very friendly and also knowledgeable about plants and mangoes. Not only he recommended the best mangoes, they provided services to plant and inspect some of the fruit trees we bought. read more

The food is amazing. The best food that ever existed. Other restaurants are trash compared to this
