Takeout order.
Krishna C.

I had reviewed this place previously a decade ago! Biriyani is still solid! Mutton curry was delicious! Karvepaku Mutton fry was phenomenal! Naan was dry, but alright. Great value on the food. Good amounts of meat in the dishes. Check this place out guys!

Ordered paneer biryani. It was pathetic. Looked and tasted like fried rice. Service is bad too. No one bothered to give glasses for water too. Not going back again.

Wow! I really enjoy the biryani here. When I arrived, I asked for a recommendation on a chicken biryani, and they recommended Chicken 65 Mandi, and I really enjoyed it. The ambiance seems like a mostly takeout operation, but there are some tables and chairs to eat inside.

I have ordered before from here and loved their biryani. They adjust the spice level based on your preference. I chose medium and it seems I got low so it was almost bland though the rice and chicken were well cooked. The paneer tikka was super spicy n the other hand. That said I like the way they cook their biryani unlike some of the disappointing experience I have had elsewhere. Overall an authentic biryani place. It's mostly a takeaway place than sit and eat. Service is prompt.

Mutton biryani
Khaja H.

My first time experiencing food in this restaurant and employee in the front "SAMAY" he really take care of me and food order and he did a great job and Had a nalli biryani today and it was phenomenal! The marrow was rich and buttery, the mutton was incredibly tender, and the spices were perfectly balanced without overpowering the dish. The rice was aromatic and cooked to perfection. Definitely one of the best biryanis I've had!

I really did want to like this place but the food was really meh! What initially drew me to it was the BOGO deal on the Biryani but ended up finishing just half of one and throwing away the other one - the kababs were burnt - not at all well made. However the manager and the service at this cloud kitchen were impeccable.

Nearby Indian food place. We got Hyderabad Chicken, Hyderabad Mutton dum, Butter Chicken, Shrimp Tikka Masala and Rice. They were all pretty good. Nothing too spicy. Favorite was the Shrimp tikka masala. But the two biryanis were just alright. It didn't taste fresh. Also sauces were just bland and ok. Lacks flavor. Service was nice and inside was small but tidy

This place is a great late night option, staying open until 10:30 PM. The interior is small, with just a few tables, but there is indoor seating available if you're dining in. Despite the limited space, the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming. The worker who took our order was very attentive. He handed us menus right as we walked in and took the time to answer all our questions. After we placed our order, he brought over plates, utensils, and napkins without us needing to ask, which we appreciated. We ordered the Hyderabadi Mutton Dum Biryani, Mutton Ghee Roast Biryani, garlic naan, and a chicken biryani recommended by the staff. I'm not exactly sure which one, but it was perfect for someone in our group who doesn't do well with spicy food. All the food came out hot and around the same time, which was great. Each dish was packed with flavor, and we were given two different sauces with each biryani that really elevated the experience. Overall, this spot delivered on both flavor and service. Next time I come back I'd want to tryout their curries.

We ordered the Chicken 65 Family Pack, Mutton Family Pack, Paneer Family Pack, Gobi 65, Chicken Lollipop, and the Pan Fried Momos. My favorite dish we got was probably the Mutton Family Pack. I thought the biryani was really good and the mutton itself was super tender and mixed well with the rice. I was disappointed with the Chicken 65 as I felt that the chicken was a little dry overall. I also thought the pan fried moms were average compared to other momos I've had. Out of the appetizers, the Gobi 65 (cauliflower) was the best one! Everything we got had a kick but wasn't too spicy! We got everything takeout style, but the service when we got in was good, and they were very nice!

My friends and I got takeout for dinner from here and originally I wasn't going to eat but I ended up giving in because I couldn't resist the smell! The wait for the food felt like a good while but they threw in an extra mango lassi for the wait :) I tried everything paneer and I enjoyed it all. We got two family packs. The rice was fragrant. The naan was good. The mango lassi was yummy. I wished got my own! And the butter chicken was good. Only four stars because though the food was good, there wasn't something special that is making want to go back.

Boneless Chicken Biryani
Ang V.

First time ordering from here. Ordered through doordash for pickup. Got boneless chicken biryani mild spice. Pickup was quick and easy. Small parking lot shared with other businesses. I expected more than just frozen chicken nuggets as the "boneless chicken." That's honestly what it tasted and looked like. They give two sauces: raita and salan (I believe) but it smelled expired, especially the yogurt based sauce. Also please look at the picture and notice how white the rice is. Literally gave no spice and tasted very bland. Came with half of a boiled egg which was my favorite aspect of the dish. So many other Indian places in the South Bay that I'll try or pick before I ever go back here. Would not recommend.

I visited during lunch with a few friends, and we were wowed by the variety of food options. The naan was served fresh, and everything we tried tasted really good. Service is very good and naan was replenished quickly. I also catered food from them for my spouse's 50th birthday party, and the food was a huge hit with all our guests. Everything was delivered on time and tasted perfect. For appetizers, we ordered Dahi Bhalla, Achaari Paneer, and Gobi Manchurian. For the main course, we had Chana Masala, Butter Chicken, and Paneer Lababdar, along with Naan and Lachcha Paratha. We also ordered Moong Dal Halwa for dessert. Dahi Bhalla was a super hit! Several guests said it was hands down the best Dahi Bhalla they had ever had at a restaurant. All the other dishes were equally delicious and received lots of compliments. Overall, whether you're looking for a great North Indian buffet or catering for a party, I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be ordering from them again!

I would arguably say that in Milpitas that this has to be the best Indian food around. Seriously if youre reading this, please go try this place out. My recommendations the panner butter masala and the chicken tikka dosa!

Yelp knows me pretty well by now. It knows I like Indian food, so Vande Bharat kept popping up in…read moremy recommendations. It's been sitting there for a while, so the wifey and I finally decided to drive down to Milpitas and give this Thali place a try. I'm glad we did because their Thali is probably one of the best we've had, if not the best. FYI Thali is LUNCH only. Here is my take. Food (4.5 stars) +The Combo Thali for around $18 is the way to go. Don't overthink it and don't order anything else. You get a little bit of everything, which is exactly why we like Thali. If there's something you don't like, just give it to your partner. My wife doesn't like lamb, so I ended up with double lamb. Bonus for me! + Lamb curry was probably my favorite. Tender meat with a flavorful curry and it went perfectly with the rice. Since my wife donated hers to me, I had plenty! + Fried fish is also very good. You don't get a huge piece, but with so many other things on the plate, it's enough. That's the beauty of Thali--you get a few bites of everything instead of committing to one giant dish. + Chicken curry was also good. Nothing on the plate really needs to be eaten by itself because everything complements each other. You get savory, spicy, sour and even a little sweet throughout the meal. + There are also the usual Thali sides like dal, sumbar, yogurt, dessert and another sour/soupy dish. Rice sits right in the middle and you basically mix and match your way through the entire plate. + I also really like the papadum. It's that thin crispy Indian cracker that gives you a nice crunchy break between all the curries and softer foods. ~ PRO TIP: The only thing to consider is whether you prefer a Thali or an Indian buffet. At a buffet, you can essentially get many of these same types of dishes and eat as much as you want. With a Thali, you're getting smaller portions of everything. Personally, I like the variety and having everything served together, especially when the combo is only around $18. Service/Ambiance (4.5 stars) + We came during lunch and there was only one other customer while we were there, so service was good and the food came out rather quickly. + The restaurant has some really nice paintings along the walls. Some of the scenery almost looked Mediterranean to me, although I'm assuming they're depicting places somewhere in India. Either way, they add some character to the restaurant. + It's a comfortable, casual place to sit down and enjoy a Thali without much fuss. GET THE COMBO! You get fish, lamb, chicken, rice, dal, sides, dessert and all the little extras that make eating Thali fun. Between the two of us, if one person doesn't like something, the other person probably will. In my case, that strategy resulted in double lamb, so I definitely wasn't complaining. Wifey gives Vande Bharat 4.5 stars and I'm right there with her. For the price, variety and flavors, this is easily one of our favorite Thali meals we've had. Yelp got this recommendation right!

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.

I never got there, but my husband raved about it from business dinners. Our birthday honoree wanted to come here. One of us is vegetarian, another GF and very allergic to solanaceae, and two don't eat fish. Usually Pakistani & eastern Asian cuisine is a good choice. Three of us had masala chai, served in traditional glazed clay cups: I think cardamom was the top note. Ginger's the top note, followed by cardamom when I make it. It was blissful. I have been wanting to try pani puri for a while, but don't think the delicate shells would survive delivery. Mouthgasms ensued from everyone. Next time I'm in an Indian restaurant, I'm getting that, as it was as tasty as it looks. Samosas were ordered to share, and again, we were all happy. Because of the high simple carbs, I don't eat the usual one, but half of one was heavenly. Garlic naan & papad(ums) were ordered. They were the most flavorful papad I've ever tasted: don't know what the additional ingredient was, but I will certainly order that again. I asked our server, who might have been a manager, how many papadums were in an order. The answer was three, but he'd add a fourth. It took us a while to choose entrees, and when we made our order, he looked at each of us, confirmed what we ordered--with no note pad. I was impressed. I had the achari chicken kebab, absolutely wonderful spicing, with plenty of onion strips, nicely browned just short of caramelized. Our vegetarian ordered saag paneer, the honoree had her favorite butter chicken, and the fourth ordered seekh kebab. We usually get a taste of each other's dishes, except the vegetarian, because meat. We were very appreciative and enthusiastic of what we'd ordered. We couldn't have made our enjoyment more clear. For dessert, we ordered an intense Malai (mango) kulfi, gulab jamun (dough balls in a honey sauce), too sweet for me, but still pleasant, and rasmalai, a sweet dough in a milky sauce, spiced with saffron, rosewater, cardamom, and pistachios. We were treated to a plate of jalebi, which resembles funnel cakes, in a honey sauce. I've seen these at a Persian market, but don't know the name. For all we ordered, the bill was modest, about $114. We added an ample tip. This was the absolute best Indian food I've ever had! We had such a lovely time. One thing I wish restaurants would do is to put their full menu online, instead of just popular items for delivery or pick-up. It gives you more incentives to dine in!

Great food - super tasty!…read more But the location is terrible. Kind of depressing. They are located in what appears to be some sort of a warehouse in an industrial area. Low ceilings, bad lighting, zero decor. Zero ambiance. A shady vibe.

We were charged for the item and that's completely fine. Their food has the potential of becoming the best in the area. Really good items and full of authentic flavors!
