Loved the food, the service and ambience. The staff is very courteous. I went with few friends. Even though there was long queue waiting outside , they didn't rush us. read more

Ordered 5 items and none of them were good. Dabeli - too much masala and oily. Schezwan fried rice - too much color and oily. Soya dum biriyani - oily again and taste me. Paneer tikka and gobi manchurian was average. read more

Ambience: refreshing, modern and chic. Service: annoying tooo fast that it felt almost mediocre. Which was reflected in the food quality. I was telling my hubby it's like they almost like they want you to leave quickly that's how fast things are moving. Food: we ordered (1) Manchow Soup: spicy I loved it; but overly salty and waaaaaay too much soya sauce. (2) Hakka Noodles: no spicy - they were awfully plain. The guy helping place the order wasn't helpful at all. (3) Pav Bhaji: it was alright...we've had better. (4) Masala Papad: um this item was actually low on salt. (5) Royal Ice Cream Falooda: um it was extremely toooo sweet. Syrup, black tukmaria, Rabdi, noodle, milk, 1.5 small ice cream scoops. The ice cream was the best past. This item looks nothing like what is on the menu. It's a skinny lil thing. I won't really be coming back here again. It's sad because they have a cute location. read more

This place came recommended but was a major disappointment! The Pani Puri was TERRIBLE! The Bhel was BLAH! The Vada Pav was PATHETIC. The only saving grace was the Grilled Cheese sandwich. read more

I've been to Dublin restaurant and Santa Clara restaurant. Both restaurants have good vibes and service staff. The only issue I have is initially with the Santa Clara opening, it used to be really packed with less outside seating. This has changed now and they provide to go as well. This last time was fun. We went back for favorites like chaat platter and chole bhatura which are the best dishes here. Chaat is always good and had tangy and spicy taste. Chole are spicy and bhatura was good and hot. Tried mango lassi and liked it as well. Also we had palak paneer, dal makhani and naan/ tandoori roti. Palak paneer had more spices than spinach gravy and dal makhani was too creamy for me but rest was good. read more

Solid food, I left here curious and excited to come back. As locals, we all know there is no shortage of chaat spots in the area, but Kailash Parbat offers an extensive range of menu items all in a one stop shop. It's a cool option to have. The soya chaap had that nice char grilled flavor you get from cooking over an open fire. The chaat platter was substantial and varied, and the dabeli was excellent. So many variations of sweet, salty, tangy, with a mix of soft and crunchy textures. Quick and friendly service, clean and beautiful space. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Solid Indian fast food in Santa Clara. Got there a little before 7 earlier this evening (Friday). I overshot the narrow entrance and ended up one lot over; fortunately the Korean lady who owned that business let me park there! I was the last to arrive, and joined my friends, who had wisely secured a table. We caught up on life, work, debated the wisdom of the younger generation's college choices (Cal vs. Georgia Tech!), and bemoaned the insane Soccer World Cup ticket prices. I let my friends order as most of them had visited before. We shared cholle bhature, Bombay vada pav, chaat platters, and paneer tikka. My fave was the dahi papdi chaat! I also had a masala chai (very good!) and tried one of the three desserts we ordered for the table - the uber delicious Malai Rabdi! Service was good but they hustled us out immediately after we were done as there was a long line of people waiting for tables. Also, there's only one bathroom per gender, but it was available when I needed it. Happy to return, or try their other location in Dublin, which is closer to home. read more

What? My Kailash Oarbat from Colaba, Mumbai is here in the Bay Area? No way will it be as authentic as the original! But to my delight, it is! We loved the chaat, paav bhaaji and the lassi. The decor is wonderful (thank goodness there is no blaring TV playing Hindi songs!) and the service was good. read more

Heard rave reviews about this place, but ended up quite disappointed. The food was below expectations, and while the service was decent, it wasn't anything remarkable. The ambiance is casual and simple. The desserts were definitely the highlight, and I'm adding an extra star just for them. If you're specifically looking for a pure vegetarian-friendly restaurant, this place may work for you. However, the food itself felt quite basic. For example, the dal makhani tasted more like maa ki dal than a rich, creamy makhani. The misal was overly oily for my liking, and green peas were used instead of moong sprouts. I'd also suggest avoiding Kala khatta or chai as drinks were meh.. read more

Appreciate the service and the efforts by the staff to make the experience enjoyable. The entrance door area gets crowded in peak times. Restaurant should consider reservations and/or Yelp waitlist mechanism. Enjoyed the chat especially the KP Chaat Platter especially Crispy Corn Basket and Paneer Tikka Mastani. Chocolate drizzle on Shahi Tukda felt odd and made it too sweet. read more

First time we returned because it was crowded and they won't even take a waiting list. This time we went in early and got a chat platter, which has 4 items, dahi vada, sev puri, corn basket, bhel. Both the restaurants and dishes were great to look but the taste is not the same. All dishes were too sweet nothing else. Kailash Parbhat in India are great, but this is no were close, other than looks. Grocery store chats are better tasting than this. Ambiance and service were ok. read more

I visited Kailash Parbat Kailash Parbat in Santa Clara and had a really disappointing experience, mostly due to poor crowd management and inconsistent food quality. On Friday, there was a long line and they stopped taking any more names on the waitlist. I came back the next day (Saturday) at 6:30 pm, added my name, and didn't get seated until 7:50 pm - that's an unreasonably long wait even after checking in early. There's also no proper waiting area, and it gets so crowded that it's hard to even enter the restaurant. They don't seem to care how long customers are waiting. Restaurants like Mylapore Mylapore manage crowds much better and at least offer small gestures (water/buttermilk/ice cream depending on the season) to make long waits feel less painful. Even after I got the "table ready" alert, when I went to the host stand they asked me to wait another 10 minutes because the table still needed cleaning. Seating is very poorly arranged - tables are moved around constantly to merge/split, and it's so tight that people walking by feel like they're leaning over your table just to squeeze out. On top of that, the tables themselves are very small even for 2 people, and definitely cramped for 4, which makes the whole experience feel even more uncomfortable. During dinner I had to move my table and chairs twice just to let others pass. Worst part: they gave us dirty plates at the start. For a newly opened location, this is unacceptable. I had to ask for replacements immediately. Food quality was also inconsistent compared to their Dublin location. The Dabeli was under-stuffed and they didn't offer the usual sauces - I had to ask, and they acted unsure ("which sauce?"). That lack of consistency between branches shows. I also ordered Paneer Lababdar (a regular order for me from the Dublin location) and it was not good here - too much garam masala, harsh on the throat, and the curry didn't have the smooth/rich taste it normally does. Even the buttermilk lacked quality. To be fair: a couple of other items we ordered were well-cooked and tasted good, and the staff was polite, smiled, and handled the issues I raised properly. Overall, this location really needs to improve: * waitlist process + crowd management (even using Yelp waitlist/check-in would help) * seating layout/space management * basic cleanliness (plates!) * consistency of food and service compared to other branches Right now, the hype/new-location rush doesn't match the experience. read more

Kailash Parbat is a chain restaurant hailing from India, and its new Santa Clara location is already drawing crowds with its North Indian vegetarian menu of chaats, tandoori specialties, curries, and more. Chaat is Indian street food, and the KP Chaat Platter came with a sampling of four chaats including Dahi Wada (lentil fritters in creamy yogurt), Bhel Puri (puffed rice, potatoes, onion, sev, mango, and chutneys), Sev Puri (fried flour discs topped with sev, onion, tomato, and mango), and Crispy Corn Basket (fried flour baskets topped with sweetcorn, pomegranate, chopped onion, and tomato). The chaats were crispy, crunchy, soft, sweet, tangy, savory, and spicy--an incredibly colorful collection of explosive flavors and textures! For our main dish, the Paneer Tikka Lababdar was a tomato and onion curry with cubes of tandoor paneer tikka, topped with grated cheese. The creamy, chunky, spicy curry was perfect for eating with a side of Laccha Paratha, a crispy, flaky flatbread layered with butter. But my favorite dish of all was their house special Chole Bhature, a dark, spiced chickpea curry served with two huge, puffy, fried breads. Overall, the reasonably priced food here was deliciously spiced and beautifully presented, and the modern setting and attentive service rounded out the experience! read more

Fast service and flavors that genuinely taste like India. This is one of those spots where the food hits the table quickly and still feels fresh and authentic. Starters are the real stars here. The paneer tikka classic is always a hit with kids, and the street-food lineup is solid -- Mumbai sandwich, dabeli, pani puri, and the chaat platter are all worth ordering for the table. Mains don't disappoint either. We enjoyed the Diwani handi, paneer lababdar, and paneer makhanwala with hot rotis and naan -- rich, comforting, and very North-Indian style. And save room for dessert because they're all must-tries. Special shout-out to the kulfi falooda and gulab jamun with rabdi -- not super sweet, indulgent, and perfect ending. Great spot when you're craving proper Indian chaat and comforting veg curries. Will keep coming back!! read more

We went here on a Thursday evening with a 1 year old. There were 15 ppl ahead of us and they told us waiting would be around 30 to 40 minutes. We took our chance and waited as it was the second time I had tried to go there We got in within 20 minutes or so. We ordered paneer techa, gobi manchurian and soya chaap. None of these dishes were maharashtrian. May be that's why they were not that good. Later chef was roaming around and we told him we didn't like gobi manchurian. He offered to correct it and give one more. We said no and asked for mumbai sandwich instead. That was pretty good. Paneer techa was very garlicky for our taste. read more

Has to be my new favorite spot in Bay Area for an Indian restaurant that has a good variety Chaat- checked Chinese - checked Punjabi - checked Mumbai street snacks - checked Things we tried Manchow soup - very good but spicy like Indian spicy spicy Dabeli - one order comes with 2 (was decent, better than most places around) Veg chilli milli - was fantastic, gravy felt like straight from India Tandoori roti and butter naan - both were thin, crispy and tasty We wanted to have the brownie with ice cream but it was unavailable, well next time for sure! I have had chaat at their other branch in Dublin and that was good, will have to try in this location next time before recommending it. Ambience is also good, modern seating (at one point the table for two has a very awkward curved couch - which is not ideal). Plenty of natural light in the noon. Plates and serve ware match the aesthetic. Nit- they can do better at cleaning the tables, glasses and utensils in between, one of our glasses had something in it - likely an oversight. Everything else was pretty clean. Staff was amazing - warm and always checked on us. Prompt to take orders and prompt to get food to the table. All in all a great dinning experience with delicious food. Definitely deserves to be on regular rotation. read more

Food: have been on a Chana bhatura fest so had to order that here. 2 large bhatura and 1 cup or so of chana. It was good but Chana had a lot of masala and was quite spicy as well. Service: good service. Quite a bit of wait to get a table tho. There were 2 of us and we got a table where one side was booth seating and the other side was a chair. Even tho we each ordered chana bhatura, the table space felt like it wasn't enough to house the items. Ambiance: great decor and this place is super popular so vibe was there! read more

Super excited that the iconic Kailash Parbat has opened in Santa Clara! Kailash Parbat is a popular Indian Mumbai diner, famous for chaats, vada pav, ragda pattice, bhel, pav bhaji etc. They have an extensive menu of North Indian cuisine and everything hits. The decor of the restaurant is cute, drawing on nostalgia and Mumbai Bollywood memes. It's an easily accessible location next to Tanishq, giving a total India vibe. They are currently in soft opening phase and not everything is available yet. Personally I'm waiting for them to roll out their delectable aamchi sandwiches, which are so refreshing with a fresh lime soda, just like at the country club in India. Potato masala with red onion, tomato, cheese and chips, yummmmm. The popular ragda pattice is a heart shaped potato patty, very romantic for Valentine's Day lol, with nice crunch and hot chole for dipping. Bhel, crisped rice chaat, is pleasant and tangy. Palak kitchidi is a rich, satisfying wholesome dish with nice spicing. Hot chai is served traditional-style in earthenware mugs. read more

We were excited to see Kailash Parbat open near us, so we stopped by for lunch. Even though it was busy, we were seated quickly. The atmosphere was great and the service was good, but the food was a bit underwhelming compared to their Dublin location. What we tried: - Veg Manchurian (Dry) 5/5: crispy and had great flavor. - Fried Rice 3/5: It was okay, but felt a little too oily. - Paneer Tikka Lababdar 3/5: the gravy was more tomato-heavy than we usually like. - Butter roti 4/5 read more

3.5 at max. Kailash Parbat has its own charm, but this particular location left me slightly disappointed. Service was not an issue at all, the staff was quick and attentive. The ambience was pleasant as well, with plenty of natural light. The letdown was the food. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, but given Kailash Parbat's reputation, it didn't quite live up to expectations. Maybe it is because this outlet is newly opened, but still. The chhole bhature was good, though I have had better in the Bay Area. The dahi wada is something I would not recommend, as it was quite hard. The soya chaap was good, and the tea was fairly average. Probably will not visit again as there are better options in the Bay Area. read more

This place has a nice ambience, but that's where the positives end. The food was average at best, and the service was surprisingly poor. They served hot coffee in a glass tumbler instead of a cup, which made it extremely difficult to hold and drink safely. Unsurprisingly, it slipped from my hand and spilled all over the table. A simple oversight like this significantly impacted the experience. Between the mediocre food and lack of attention to basic service details, I won't be returning and will be avoiding this place going forward. read more

Honestly not sure why this place has average reviews because we thoroughly enjoyed our meal! The wait time was a lot and people who got there after us got seated before us which was annoying. But once seated, we order and got our food promptly. Everything we got was incredible! I especially liked the indochinese that we got, specifically the schezwan fried rice. Honorable mention to the naan because it was super fresh and fluffy!! Definitely would recommend if you don't mind the longer wait times. read more

Explored with friends to celebrate a birthday for dinner this iconic Indian chain restaurant now in Bay Area. There is a QR code you need to join the waitlist if busy especially weekends --we had to wait for approx 30-40 minutes for a party of 4. Since weather was splendid we strolled in the neighborhood and build some appetite . Food ordered- all were tasty and served promptly. Drinks- fresh lime soda (fresh, not too tangy or sweet) with slice of lemon in nice tumbler. Chili guava - nice spicy mocktail with guava juice. Snacks- sev puri and dahi puri - probably best in Bay Area Food: palak paneer, veg kadhai and tawa chapati. Dessert: kulfi falooda (yummy) Apart from waiting time, overall a nice decent quality food in this new location. Plenty of parking in structure behind or street. read more

Best vada pao in town. Chana bhatura was ok. Chanas could have been much better. Good staff.

Probably the most delicious Indian food I have had in Bay Area. The wait in the queue is absolutely worth the quality of food. We had Amritsari soya chaap, techi paneer, paneer lababdar, tawa chapati, dal khichdi, jal jeera and Gulab Jamun with rabri. Everything was so beyond delicious. The service is great and they are incredibly fast. So even though the wait is long, the food comes out rapidly. This is the perfect place to give your taste buds a reminder of good quality tasty Indian food! read more

Hands down one of the best restaurants in the Bay Area! The food was absolutely excellent, especially the chaat platter and kulfi falooda. The kulfi falooda is as authentic as what you get in Mumbai--by far the best I've had in the Bay Area! The hospitality was outstanding, the ambiance was amazing, and every dish was on point. A must-visit for anyone craving authentic Indian flavors!. read more

Only giving a three stars because I think we mainly ordered Indo Chinese food. Overall, the food was fine. It was just pretty bland and I wish there was more flavour to it and more spice and more depth. The chat and sandwich were probably the show stopper, so I think if you go here, avoid the Indo Chinese food and stick with the Indian classics and Indian street food. The ambience though is really cute and nice and they have quirky comics of Indian culture and the service was pretty fast and relatively well. read more

We went on a Friday afternoon and it was buzzing with people. There is a retail parking in the lane, and there is a Walgreens parking lot right next to it, so it should not be an issue. It was crowded and loud, hard to talk to each other. The person who was taking the order(seemed like the manager based on his attire being different than others) was very rude, and indifferent. He did not care to be patient or care to recommend anything. We ordered the chole bhature, the bhature were fluffy and most importantly not very oily. The chole portion was also generous. The order didn't come with pickle, but they provided when we asked for it. It wasn't the best chole bhature you'll ever have, but definitely good clean hygienic place to enjoy a meal. I would like to try it again, as the menu seemed extensive and interesting, but hoping we have someone different helping us order. read more

Started by a Sindhi gentleman in Mumbai after partition, Kailash Parbat has about 90 locations now. Santa Clara location opened about 6 days ago. The menu is big and full of pictures. Everything you expect is here - chaat, chhole bhature, Indian Chinese, and traditional main courses which we never got to. Ambience is very modern and full of people and noise in a good way. We had to wait about 30 minutes on a Thursday evening but it was worth the wait! Service is very fast and polite - thanks Brandan! Will go again and again. read more

Tried Pav Bhaji, Veg Manchurian, and Hakka Noodles at Kailash Parbat and it was a letdown. The pav bhaji portion was surprisingly small and lacked the rich, buttery flavor you'd expect. The Veg Manchurian was bland and forgettable, and the Hakka noodles were especially disappointing, with barely any vegetables and no real taste. None of the dishes stood out -- everything felt under-seasoned and dull. Adding to the frustration, there was a long line and significant waiting time even on a weekday night. Overall, poor value for money and definitely not worth the wait. The waiters were very helpful and prompt. The best tasting thing here was the free saunf they serve at the entrance. read more

We ended up showing up here at 11:30 and by the time it was 12pm the line was out the door. Food arrived fast and service was top notch. Definitely enjoyed most of the dishes.

They definitely deserve props for getting food out quickly and efficiently to all the diners! read more

I have such fond memories of eating at the original Kailash Parbat in Colaba, so I was thrilled to see them open a spot here. Turns out, we accidentally showed up on opening day! As expected, it was packed and the wait was about 45 minutes, but we were committed to the cause. Huge props to the service team. Even with the opening day chaos, everyone was hustling with smiles or just pure, fierce determination. The ambiance is actually quite lovely--a bit more upscale than your typical fast-casual spot. I really liked the posters and the branded water bottles; it's a nice touch that makes the place feel established. Dahi Puri: Refreshing and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they aren't using those generic store-bought puris; these felt house-made and had a great crunch. Ragda Pattice: This was the highlight. It genuinely took me back 30 years to the original Mumbai location. I was so relieved they didn't overdo the garam masala. The heart-shaped pattice and the ragda served in a little balti, was adorable, and the sweet chutney in its own tiny canister was a great presentation. Kulfi Falooda: A solid, delicious dessert finish to the meal. The only reason I'm dropping one star is the Sev Puri. The puri they use here is more of a thick papdi rather than what you get in Mumbai. Also, they added tomatoes... please don't! It just doesn't belong. Overall, it's a fantastic addition to the Bay Area Indian food scene. Great vibes, solid service, and mostly authentic flavors. I'll definitely be back once the opening-week craze settles down! read more
