What an amazing place for late night kababs and rumali roti. Their menu is limiting but they pack a punch with what they have. One small suggestion for the business- add jeera rice or steamed rice to your menu. Kababs were juicy, smoky, soft, succulent, perfect melt in mouth. Chicken buttery tikka was smooth, smoky, again soft and juicy. Rumali roti was fresh, soft, easily tearable, not chewy or tough at all. Goes perfect with kababs. So many alcoholic and non alcoholic drink options. Glad they were able to get the brick and mortar place... Just as good as the food truck. read more

They now have a restaurant (was previously a food truck at a different location) so went there last Friday evening to check it out. The place was packed. But luckily we got a table in 5 mins. The menu was almost the same as the truck but they have other items and cocktails as well. We stuck to familiar items. Roomali roti: very authentic but insanely expensive at $6 for two small rotis! Mutton seekh kabab: the absolute best in the bay area and spiciest but ridiculously expensive at $18. Steep increase from $11 (food truck) to $18. I get it that a sit-in place will be more expensive than truck but this is a huge jump for ground meat kabab. Lamb chops for example would be ok at this price point not ground meat kababs. Chicken Egg Roll and Paneer Egg roll: both were delicious but expensive. Kids loved them. Overall, I love the food but it is too expensive for the quantity. It is high time the owners either reduce prices or increase quantity of the portions. read more

Keeku da Dhaba - Goat seekh kabab. Yummy but needs roomali roti. - Indian Near Me - Fremont, California

Went on a Saturday night. Restaurant is open until 11pm. It's located in a large complex with ample parking. Has indoor as well as outdoor seating. Outdoor seating can be noisy as it is situated right next to a hookah/shisha spot which plays loud music. Very cute ambience and little napkin holders and salt pepper shakers on the table. It also has a bar Menu is limited but the food is really tasty We got the banta soda which I had after more than a decade Got the mutton seekh kebab which was so tender and yummy The buttery chicken tikka was yogurt based chicken kebab which had ample butter. I wish it was a little less greasy and had lesser sauce. Got rumali roti with it which came hot and thin like it should be The chowmein was great too- very Delhi street style read more

Really great late night spot for drinks and kebabs with friendly staff. The buttery chicken should not be confused for chicken tikka masala-style butter chicken as this is more old Delhi style chicken with malai or cream. It was delicious with the roti although the rumali roti wasn't as soft as one might have expected, it's still pretty good. Would recommend checking this place out if you're in the area at night. read more

Keeku da Dhaba - Indian Near Me - Fremont, California

Nice little Kebab place in Fremont. Limited menu, but each item is authentic, tasty & worth a try. The Mutton Sheek kebab is pretty pretty good, Fisk tikka with the chat masala yummy. The chicken(/paneer) tikka in buttery sauce is the only gravy item & goes very well with the Roomali roti. The Chicken Egg roll is wrapped in a Roomali roti, instead of paratha & is sumptuous(better than the popular ones we hv in peninsula(wink wink)). The place was full on a weekday night. Service is decent. read more

Decided to check this out finally since we live close by. It was nice and met our expectations - good tasty food and a really nice lively vibe on a Friday evening. They also play the game at the bar so it's nice to enjoy that. Service was a little slower but it was quite busy so it was justified. The food was tasty but definitely on the spicier side so be mindful of that, we ordered the paneer butter masala with roti and the paneer roll. The paneer was a little sour but it was still yummy and also quite filling and we had leftovers too. I'll come back to try the chow mein and chili potatoes! read more

Came here on a Thursday evening--place was decently crowded but we were seated right away. We ordered the paneer roll, egg paneer roll, and honey chilli potatoes. The server mentioned a ~15-minute wait, but the potatoes came out pretty quickly. Overall, everything tasted good--nice flavors and a solid charred taste that stood out. Only downside was the pricing felt a bit high for the portion sizes. Still, a good experience taste-wise. read more

It was suggested by someone in family. The place is next to Farsha hookah place by same owner I believe. We opted to sit indoors to avoid any smoke/ smell. It was bustling on Saturday night. We ordered Romani roti, chicken Kathi roll, buttery chicken, mutton kabob and fries. Fries -3/5. They felt a bit stale Chicken -4.5/5 Mutton - 4/5 Kathi roll- 3.5/f. Felt the roti should be less doughy and baida(egg) layer was also too thick. Made it really heavy. Masala soda -5/5 Ambience - loud and great for family/friends outing/ drinking Service - quick. We couldn't understand one of our servers and someone else had to explain. Will be back to try more stuff. Parking- open parking. read more

Keeku da Dhaba - Indian Near Me - Fremont, California

***USP: true to their name, Indian dhaba (roadside eateries on Indian highways to cater to long haul drivers, road trippers) style food with a limited but epic menu. ***FOOD: limited menu- kebabs, rumali roti, wraps and chowmein. We were hungry when we arrived so we ordered and sampled almost every item on the menu. Here's the good and the mediocre. They know how to cook kebabs well, be it the mutton or chicken so definitely get them! The kebabs have a smoky tandoor cooked flavor. The chicken was smothered in some yogurt butter gravy, it was intoxicatingly delicious paired with the rumali roti. The chow mein reminded me of the version we get on Indian streets, greasy, peppery and umami rich. It will be unlike other versions you had before so definitely get this as well. I absolutely savored this, especially with the crunchy peppers. Wraps: they served the same kebabs in a wrap version. I didn't particularly like the wrap itself, they might have made it in house but it tasted like a store bought tortilla to me. The sauce used didn't have sufficient flavor as well. read more

I'd been wanting to go to their food truck for years after watching Indian movies in Fremont and never managed to due to some reason or the other. Finally decided to drive here on a Friday evening and it was worth it! It was quite crowded late on a Friday around 9 (as expected) but thankfully we didn't have to wait. They actually take table bookings over phone. Food came out pretty quick. Paneer Tikka - 5/5. Really well spiced, quite soft, and juicy. Large pieces of paneer too, like it that way. Buttery Chicken Tikka - 4/5. We asked for less butter and I think they did a good job of it. Flavor and sauce was true to its name and it was cooked well. Reduced a star probably because it wasn't as juicy as the paneer. Rumali Roti - 4/5. I absolutely LOVE Rumali Roti and it's really hard to find. Making it a "duh" order if see it. True to its name, it was really thin and well made (unfortunately forgot to click a picture), could have been slightly softer if I'm being critical. We still ordered a second set, lol! Each set comes with 2 Rumali roti's and I think it's quite reasonably priced for how exclusive it is. Definitely see myself coming back, probably to have some beers as well next time along with my food. Maybe for a work happy hour? read more

Keeku da Dhaba is true to its name - a rustic, casual, roadside eatery at heart that has worked its way up in Fremont from a food truck to now setting up a proper restaurant. We were meaning to try this place for a long time and finally made plans with another family to try it out today. The inside is cosy and there's tongue-in-cheek humor spattered across the decor and even the glassware (check out the pictures). We loved it. The menu is straightforward and limited. Honestly, I prefer places that have a limited menu. It means the things I order will most likely be fresh, will taste good, and will be served hot. There are eateries that have a whole binder full of menu items that go for pages and you know there's a good chance half of it won't be fresh. The server, Garson, came to us promptly to take our orders. We had the Egg Chicken Roll, the Butter Chicken Tikka, the Lamb Seekh Kebab, and some roomali rotis. The roll was tasty, the chicken kebabs were nice. Honestly, though, flavor-wise they were a little one-dimensional and mild. I saw the pictures and they usually come drenched in butter but we asked them to go easy on the butter so my arteries will probably thank me for that decision. The show stoppers for me were the seekh kebabs and the rotis. The seekhs were tender and juicy and perfectly seasoned. And the roomali rotis - Hands down the best I've had in years. So thin, they are almost see-through. Soft yet flaky. The roti, kebabs and the green chili chutney were a perfect combination. And we had a beer to wash it down. They have such a good collection of fresh-on-the-tap beers and even cocktails. Definitely recommend trying this place out if you haven't already. I'll be back to try their fish tikkas and paneer rolls next time. read more

My dinner this evening at Keeku da Dhaba is one of my top meals of 2025. Their menu is small - with only kebabs and few wraps, but every single item we ordered was phenomenal. Unlike most Indian restaurants, Keeku has a special type of flatbread -- a "rumali roti". Unlike a fluffy naan that's baked in a tandoori oven, the roti here is paper thin. If you've had Peking duck at a fancy Chinese restaurant before -- where you construct your own wraps with duck, plum sauce, and spring onions, the roti reminds me of the type of wrapper you use to make a duck pancake. On its own it's not particularly flavorful, but it's the perfect vehicle for everything else on the table. Between the four of us, we got an order of paneer tikka, butter chicken, two orders of mutton, and two orders of roti. This ended up being a ton of food, and we ended up taking much of the chicken home to go. Don't sleep on the green sauce on the table. It's spicy, herbaceous, and goes well with everything, even the roti on its own. The mutton is packed with a cornucopia of fragrant spices and is bursting with flavor. The tender, juicy chicken used in the butter chicken tasted like chicken thigh and had a perfect balance between fat and lean parts. Like the green sauce, the butter chicken sauce you'll want to sop up every last bit with roti. It's rich and decadent, so you'll definitely want some lemon juice and/or some sliced slivers of raw onions to pair with the chicken to balance things out. The wide array of dry spices generously dusted over the grilled pieces of paneer reminds me of the heavy seasoning you'd find on cumin lamb skewers (but obviously different). The heavy hitting punches of flavor do not stop at Keeku with every dish. I cannot say enough good words about my delicious meal and cannot wait to bring my friends here. read more

Amazing Indian-style grilled meats! I was introduced to this place by a friend, and I'm so glad we tried it out as the food was delicious. My party of 4 stopped by Thursday evening around 7:30 pm and sat inside, though they have outdoor seating as well. The menu is super straightforward. There's no curries or anything, just a selection of grilled meats and paneer as well as some kathi rolls. They also have honey chili potatoes and veg chow mein for Indo-Chinese. We tried the following: buttery chicken tikka ($14) mutton seekh kabab ($14) fish tikka ($14) - only available Wed and Thur We also ordered some rumali roti to share, and one friend also tried the paneer kathi roll ($14). Everything was super delicious. Of the meats, the seekh kabab was hands down the favorite of the table, but the chicken tikka was good as well. It was interesting because the chicken is served in a creamy yogurt sauce, which we weren't expecting. Both meats tasted great wrapped in the super thin rumali roti. The fish tikka was also good, but next time I would probably skip this and leave some more stomach space for the chicken and mutton :) My friend really loved the paneer roll, said it was the best he's had in a long time. I tried a bite and agreed that it was delicious, even though I'm generally not a huge fan of paneer. I didn't eat much of the honey chili potatoes, but the taste was authentic and exactly the same as what I've had in India. Portions were generous for the price, and I'm not sure how we managed to finish all the food as we definitely over ordered. read more

Great food! In the old Bijan building. Serving some seriously delicious kababs. I got the seekh kabab and the butter chicken boti spicy. Both were so tender and melt in your mouth, with outstanding flavor. I also ordered a rumali roti, which was a perfect pairing with the meats. Thin, warm, and perfect for picking up all the butter sauce in the chicken. The chutney they offer is also very tasty and perfect spice level. Def try this out if you're in Fremont and want some flavorful desi kababs! read more

Finally, Keeka da Dhaba has a restaurant! Used to go to their food truck a lot, but stopped because their service was slow. But ever since I came to know they had opened a restaurant, I had to go check it out. Butter chicken tikka: the quintessential item is my go-to. Pair it with the soft rumali roti and you have an amazing meal. Classic! I also tried their Paneer tikka: flavorful and soft. I must give shoutout to the ambience as well: as soon as you enter, you will see a "I heart Delhi" sign which is great, and they also have a bar area with some fun, quirky posters! The ambience is pretty nice (indoors and outdoors): could be a go-to place to hang out friends/family and have an amazing meal. Fremont (and surrounding) needed such spots. read more

Now in its new location on Mission at Las Palmas. Open late, even on Sunday, with tons of beverage options making it a great place for hanging out. Grill out front is still churning out those delicious kebabs and now there are plenty of booths and tables where you can enjoy your meal without worrying about being run over by harried shoppers in the Bharat Bazaar parking lot. So happy to see this wonderful food truck find a brick-and-mortar home, and wishing them continued success! read more

Went to try this place because it seemed like a good place! It definitely was busy but it's so hard to figure out what's going on. There's too many things happening without much staff or direction and that is difficult. Food was good but seemed like a bit above the generic Indian food. Paneer was probably my favorite out of everything. Hoping they expand the menu and maybe get more staff to get a sense of direction for visitors. We couldn't tell if there was a wait list or we sit at a table, people passing by and pushing in. They do turn tables fast. read more

Vegetarian Reviewer: Last time I went there, they used to be right next to Bharat Bazar. The food was really greasy, with a lot of ghee/oil on the side. But the taste was fantastic -- I absolutely loved their paneer tikka and egg paneer roll. It was a little pricey at about $12 -- roughly $2 per piece. The roll was similarly priced but filling and super tasty. I would highly recommend it to satisfy a craving for yummy Indian food! The vibe was also good with lights and people around. I placed an order for paneer tikka and went grocery shopping in Bharat Bazar. The order was ready a few minutes after I got back. There was enough parking in the lot. read more

Came here on a Friday evening to pick up an order. Since the quoted wait time was about 20 minutes, we decided to dine in instead. Unfortunately, it ended up taking even longer, and there seemed to be some confusion with order management. We tried the Chicken Tikka (requested with less cream), Chowmein, and Chai. The Chicken Tikka was just perfect--still creamy, and honestly more than enough for my taste. The Chowmein (regular spice) was delicious, and our 4-year-old really enjoyed it too. The Chai was flavorful without being overpowering on the spices. The owner was very kind, apologized for the order mix-up, and made sure everything tasted good. Despite the wait, we enjoyed the food and would love to come back. Overall, the owner and team clearly seem invested in what they're doing. The menu is crisp and dishes done right, the vibe feels authentic--like a place that genuinely wants you to come back. It was evident the crowd picked up very quickly after opening. read more

Really good chicken tikka kebabs. Shammi kebabs were a bit spongy and soggy, not fresh. Also the menu is extremely limited with only few choices. When you think Dhaba food, you expect more. There are no curries, no naan and no paranthas. Just few choices of kebabs, rumali roti and 1 type of chowmein noodles on the menu. read more

Keeku da Dhaba is amazing, we come all the way from Fostercity, San Mateo, we just love the food ...

Pains me writing this review as I was a big fan of his food truck. The restaurants vibe is not so good when you enter, definitely can't go with Family. Seems like even the server had smoken before serving us. Had to wait for almost 1.5hrs before my food order was served. I ordered chowmein, honey chili potato as starter which was so bad in taste, only constant was the paneer. Its next to a hookah shop and you can smell the hookah smoke in the restaurant as well. Definitely not visiting again for dine in. Forgot to take the receipt so adding the transaction from my credit card. read more

Keeku da Dhaba serves up phenomenal Punjabi food, in an authentic rumali roti with chicken, and mutton. I found the paneer to be chewy and oily, however, the meats were divine perfection!

Nice dine in place with very friendly staff. Order at the table or with the staff who regularly check in on the food is and if anything is needed. Friendly to talk to. Small menu focusing on kababs and rolls with paratha. The egg mutton roll is one of the best we have ever had. The tea was average - higher sugar than we like - but did the job. Nice decor with catchy slogans all around on the walls, on the salt and pepper mills, on the napkin stand, and even in the bathroom! read more

Unexpected find in a nondescript strip mall in Fremont. Basically an Indian bar with "pub grub"...which is all delicious! The egg and chicken Kathi rolls were really good, with the kababs and romali roti (super thin flatbread) flat out AMAZING! Even the tandoori paneer (cheese cubes) were smoky delicious. Pro-tip is to have kabobs piping hot in the restaurant...not as good to go. Goes down great with their draft beers. Fun atmosphere and friendly service as well! read more
