Awesome food! I enjoyed the Pakistani-flavored, spicy, and mouth-melting Gola Kababs and the…read moresizzling grilled chicken--both were delicious. The service was great. One thing to note: they used to have a proper dine-in space before, but now it's mostly takeaway. However, you can still eat on-site as they have chairs and tables set up. Neat ambience overall.

I'm a huge fan of the Palo Alto location and was excited to visit another Zareen's location. In…read moregeneral, it was a great experience. There was plenty of outdoor seating, and the service was speedy. You order on a kiosk, which makes for a streamlined ordering process. The food is always solid - I love all of their thali selections. This location was much more peaceful compared to the Palo Alto location. I stopped by on a Saturday evening, and there were only a couple tables that were occupied. I will say I feel like the portion sizes here are noticeably smaller than those at the Palo Alto location. This might be because all of the orders are packed to-go, so maybe there's less space for food? For instance, the thali from the Palo Alto location includes a side salad, which was not included in my order here. The other sides (pickled salad and daal lentil), along with the entree, were also significantly smaller here. The prices are the same, so I do think the Palo Alto dishes are more worth it.

Water was served quickly and the staff was attentive -- in other words they had enough people to service their patrons. The food was excellent with creative fusion of various cuisines. The cajun paneer tikka that I got was very good with the Cajun spices expressing itself nicely. The more traditional dishes such as Rabadi patties reminded me of the food I used to eat frequently more than 30 years ago! All in all a great experience.

I'm glad they have vegan options, and they taste great it was a work dinner with 14 of us, and so…read moreI got to try all their vegan options! What I ordered: 1. Vegan Gobi starter (5/5): Incredibly tasty! 2. Avocado Bhel (3/5): Meh 3. Samosas (4/5): Normal for me but everyone non-indian absolutely loved it. 4. Vegan Bhindi (5/5): their best vegan option! 5. Vegan Chole pindi (4/5): their second best vegan option and has protein! 6. Vegan daal (3/5): it's meh, but a good table sharing option. 7. Mango mojito (3/5 as is, 5/5 WITHOUT ADDED SUGAR) - despite the server requesting me to not get it without sugar, I defied the odds and got the sugarless one. And that was yummy. The sugary one is just too much sugar I'll increase the rating if they can make the soya chaap tandoori and curry vegan if it's a large party I suggest you order everything at once, as our dinner turned out to be a 4 hour event Vegan / Veg / Vegetarian review

There's an accessible parking spot right in front of the restaurant. Another plus point is that this Mylapore branch is right next to Apni mandi.

I wouldn't lie - the place definitely feels homely. Very simple place with lot of authenticity and…read morelocal home vibes - I felt that too even though I am not from Chennai or south india. The ambience is average and service is average too. We had to ask for glasses for water, also needed to ask to refill the water. When we had finished with appetizer, in general the server will remove from table what you are done with - but here it just felt like plates are accumulating. No one to take away that. If the restaurant is busy I can understand that but when we ate - we were practically the only one there. So it wasn't the manpower problem - it is just a service problem. Coming to food. Pomfret was super good. Really well done. Briyani was a meh - I don't feel Bay Area has best briyani's anyways. I have had better Briyani in places like Seattle, Raleigh and Phoenix. The chicken 65 in Briyani though was pretty good - the typical Chennai style chicken 65 dyed with food colors . It was super nice of them to prepare filter coffee for us although it wasn't in the menu. Coffee was decent. The veg thali was also about okay. I didn't tried it but my friend did and that was his review. Their special goat briyani was decent at best - I was hyped up about it but to me.it didn't live up to the expectations.

It tastes exactly like the vibrant street food you'd find in Kathmandu or Darjeeling. The Standouts: * Veg Steamed Momos: These are perfection. The dough is rolled thin enough to be delicate but strong enough to hold the generous filling. The vegetable mix inside is finely minced, juicy, and seasoned with that distinct ginger-garlic punch. * The "Momo Achar" (Dipping Sauce): You can't talk about these momos without the sauce. It's a spicy, roasted tomato and sesame chutney that provides the perfect acidic kick to the savory dumplings. * Street Style Chow Mein: This is a nostalgia trip in a bowl. It's got that high-heat "wok hei" (breath of the wok) flavor--smoky, savory, and slightly oily in the best way possible. The noodles have a great bite, tossed with crunchy cabbage, carrots, and onions. This is the ultimate comfort meal. Fast, fresh, and bursting with authentic spices. I absolutely love it!
