    Samosa Chaat
    Yuria G.

    There was a food truck at the event, and I just had to check it out. It'd been a while since I'd had Indian food, so I went for the samosa chaat, which was totally new to me. Later, I found out that "chaat" means a savory snack. The samosa chaat started off a little sweet, then got spicy--it was such a cool mix of flavors! Plus, the textures were really fun. For around $10, I'd definitely go back and try other dishes.

    I tried their combo which came with a choice of curry (channa masala, wish they had a paneer option), samosa, paratha, and rice. The line moved very fast and the food was pretty good, I am a fan.

    Butter chicken with paratha- very good, not spicy.

    I recommend the samosa chaat. It was soooo good I wanted to dance in my seat while eating it. It had just enough samosa pieces that you can enjoy the entire dish without feeling overwhelmed by the other ingredients. Just a hint of spiciness. The chickpeas, yogurt, tamarind chutney and crispy sev (chickpea noodles) toppings covering the samosas was like finding a treasure with every bite. The samosa itself was very good, too. The butter chicken and parata combo was also exceptional. Butter chicken was on a sweeter side, not spicy at all but still has the familiar tomato and spices flavor of butter chicken. The chicken in the curry was cut in bite sized pieces which I appreciate because it makes it easier to eat. Chicken also has it own flavor, not bland. The paratha was the best one I've had. The combo me with two pieces. Paratha was not too oily. It's flaky, soft and gets denser toward the center. Texture was not doughy. Both dishes did not disappoint. The girl the orders was patient and pleasant when other customers were asking questions about the food. Paid $25 total for both dishes. Only downside is the wait to get the food; took 19 minutes after paying. Would have been a 5 star if wait was not long. Found the lm at the Dillo Haat at Kelly Park in SJ. Will definitely choose their food if I find them at another event.

    Kothu Parotta

    Update: I tried the kothu parotta again, and it was awesome, after long time had a kothu parotta taste same as my home town in India and we tried their channa rice bowl it's perfect, Highly recommend this place.

    This food truck offers one of the best chicken curries i have had! This food truck was parked close to our house on a Wednesday evening so thought of trying then out. Ordered the rice plate with chicken curry, paratha curry (butter chicken curry with this plate) and the vegetarian samosa. Everything was just delicious and the service was pretty quick. Taking off a star though as we felt the portion size wasn't as much as we expected.

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

Rich without being too heavy. Mandi is a Yemeni dish that gained popularity in Hyderabad due to Yemeni immigrants to the city. It's a combination of rice and meats. The flavors are more Arabian. Served with Yemeni schug, a green chutney, and tomato onion sauce. I tried fish Mandi and absolutely loved it. The rice was seasoned with hawaij and toasted raisins and almonds, and the fish was nicely crispy and covered in a sauce similar to tikka masala, very tasty. They have a few different kinds of delicious yellow dal that make a great accompaniment to Mandi -- spinach, tomato, mango pickle. The menu is very extensive, with a wide range of Telugu dishes. They have some fun little touches -- Mandi booths and a kitschy jail cell table, which apparently replicates a popular Mandi House in India. The service is very nice and welcoming.

Buffet available all seven days, weekend buffet is slightly more expensive but has a larger spread. **AMBIANCE: large floor to ceiling height but the place is small, it felt real cramped during the weekend buffet when it was packed with people. Their service area is also tight. They had to put two dishes in each chaffing dish to optimize. Weekday buffet was not as packed and i infact saw a huge corporate team gathered for lunch. ***FOOD: doesn't feel like a luxurious buffet due to lack of space but they did have a decent spread with 3-4 veggie appetizers, 3-4 non veg appetizers, 4-5 desserts, Pani puri, fresh table side naan (which was done very beautifully), two varieties of biryani, fried rice, indo Chinese items, 3-4 varieties of non veg curries, 3-4 varieties of veg curries, salad, drinks etc. As with any buffet there will be hits and misses, I for one enjoyed the varied options and the unlimited Pani puri though it was on the sweeter side. The weekend buffet was definitely worth the price tag of $23, the weekday buffet on the other day felt expensive at $20 as the number of items were significantly lower.

    Indian Canteen, Milpitas -- A Bollywood-Style Feast Worth the Wait…read more Ambience & Vibe Walk in and you're greeted by a wall-to-wall tribute to Bollywood--bright movie posters, upbeat Hindi tunes, and on weekend nights, live musicians who turn the dining room into a mini film-set concert. Traditional low tables invite you to kick off your shoes and settle onto floor cushions, instantly adding a cozy, almost homestyle feel. What We Ordered * Chicken Mandi - A show-stopping platter of fragrant basmati rice crowned with perfectly roasted chicken. The portion is generous (see photo!) and the spice profile leans savory-warm rather than tongue-scorching, so everyone at the table can dig in. * Mutton Curry - I rarely gamble on mutton when eating out, but this one converted me. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender, swimming in a rich, slow-cooked gravy that balanced heat with a gentle hint of clove and cardamom. Absolutely outstanding. Service & Pace There's a sign at the entrance: "This is not fast food. Great taste takes time." Believe it. Dishes are cooked to order, so expect a leisurely wait. The staff checks in just enough to keep you updated, and once the platters hit the table you'll agree the patience tax is totally justified. Pro Tips 1. Go with friends--the mandi platter is made for sharing. 2. Weekends mean live music; arrive a bit early if you want prime floor-seat real estate. 3. Plan for 20-30 minutes from order to first bite; use the time to soak in the music and décor. Bottom Line Indian Canteen's mix of Bollywood flair, floor seating, and from-scratch cooking turns dinner into an experience. If you're craving authentic mandi and a mutton curry , mark this spot on your Milpitas food map--and don't forget to bring your patience and your camera.

We ordered crispy corn, baby corn pepper fry, chicken 65, malai kofta, dum ka murg, naans, and mutton Mandi. Every single dish was extremely oily--borderline inedible. The food didn't taste fresh, and both, the veg and non-veg curries tasted exactly the same. Overall, nothing stood out--in fact, everything felt overly greasy and underwhelming. Definitely not worth the hype. Disappointing!

It's a fully self-serve setup--you order and pay at the counter, pick up paper plates, plastic cutlery (which I'm personally not a fan of), and napkins from the front, and once you're done eating, you're expected to clear your table as well. Given all of this, the expectation of tipping feels a bit confusing. That said, we came here for the food--and it truly delivered. My husband is Bengali and was craving authentic Bengali food, so we decided to try this place over the weekend, and we absolutely loved it. We started with the mutton (goat) cutlet and Mughlai paratha. The mutton cutlet was adequately stuffed, fried crispy to perfection, and tasted really good. The Mughlai paratha by itself was just okay, but when paired with the aloo tarkari (potato curry) it became an instant hit. For the main course, we ordered chicken chow mein and Katla fish curry with white rice, and both dishes truly transported us straight to Kolkata. The flavors were incredibly authentic, homely, and comforting--exactly the kind of food you crave when you miss home. I really wanted to try rasgulla, but I was so full that I had to skip it this time. Definitely going back to try more items from the menu--purely for the food. If you're looking for authentic Kolkata flavors and can overlook the basic setup, this place is absolutely worth a visit.
