We were curious about this spot when we see it on the way to the Hubs shopping area. There is a nice little outside eating area but once you get inside, it's beautiful! It's like you stepped into a grand royal Indian palace. The decor and ambience is really nice. The food was good. We ordered two appetizers, the idly and the sizzling veggie 65 appetizer plate. The veggie sizzling plate was great! We liked the Manchurian balls and the cauliflower and the red sauce was kicking. It needed some basmati rice which we ordered to make it more of a complete meal and it did. The idly was ok. Not as flavorful as the other dish. It had more of a subtle flavor which wasn't something we expected coming from an Indian resultant. The menu is large! BUT, there are a lot of vegetarian options which is great for any vegetarians like my partner. We will be coming back to try more dishes at some point. read more

Been here a few times. Service can be a little slow at times, but everyone is very kind and friendly. The owner is usually around and checks in with guests, which is nice. It does get pretty busy, but things move fairly quickly overall. One thing to note--ordering can sometimes feel a bit delayed, so it's best to place everything at once. The flavors are solid and feel authentic, with a lot of variety on the menu. The sizzlers are definitely a must-try. It's located in a strip mall, and they do have outdoor seating with heaters, which is a nice option. read more

Had dinner here with friends. Good decoration and ambiance. Food was ok Drinks: Jaljira vodka was good, Cardamom old fashioned was below average, Mango madness was ok. Pani Puri vodka was not impressive Appetizers: Gobi Manchurian was good.

3.5/5 We were seated quickly but the food took a long time to reach us. I loved the pan-tini ( non - alocoholic) it was not overly sweet, very fizzy refreshing drink with bits of pan leaf which was a delight when you bite into it. Mango chilli drink was awful though. Dahi puri was served quickly, it was very sweet for me. The 65 sizzler was flavourful, the chutney complimented the assortments of paneer, Gobi and veg pieces well. We had ordered garlic naan to eat with the sizzler but it was sent to us 15 min after we ate the starter. :/ Then we had to wait another 15 min munching on the cold bread while we waited for paneer balti and tandoori roti. The staff offered to take back the cold naan which was much appreciated. Paneer balti was very indulgent. It creamy and on the sweeter side. Garlic naan was delicious. I wish they served raw onion and lemon on the side though.. it would've elevated the experience for me. Will be returning to try the plethora of the options in the menu. Also, I'm very confused as the interior decoration screamed South Indian, but the menu is very mixed and focused on the sizzlers and indo Chinese , tandoor .. read more

A truly standout experience from start to finish. Khaati Peeti here in Fremont immediately draws you in with its authentic Indian design from the moment you enter: the framed carpets on the walls, the beautiful arches framing each seating area, and that warm, private, almost cocoon-like atmosphere. It feels thoughtfully crafted, not staged. Loved it! The food delivered just as impressively. Every dish was enjoyable, but the lamb chops were on another level - oversized compared to your standard entree, perfectly marinated, and richly layered with Indian spices. Garlic nunn and the amount of it were enough to feed the army. At the entrance, the push bar sets the tone with an elite selection of scotches and Indian whiskeys available for purchase, which adds a premium feel right from the start. Nice. The true highlight, though, was the hospitality. Snigdha deserves a major shout-out for outstanding service. Consistently positive, attentive, and genuinely warm. And respect to Shreedhar, the owner, who stays on the floor, checks on tables, brings out the food, and creates a sense of real connection with guests. That level of presence is rare and elevates the entire experience. A few drink notes for future guests: the cardamom old fashioned was excellent, the espresso martini was rich and delicious, and the new ultramarine blue candy drink, I think, should be served as a dessert cocktail, was fun and on the sweeter side. A place worth returning to, not just for the food, but for the atmosphere and the people who make it special. read more

Absolutely stunning interior and that is all about it. The tables are rocking and serving is kind of slow. For once, we came across a restaurant menu with dishes with one description but totally different preparation when served. Same for North Indian and South Indian. When we asked the staff, their response was sorry, there may be some mistakes in the menu. So much potential yet poor delivery. Disappointing. read more

Amazing Indian food, like no other in the Bay Area. We have been looking to have this kind of Indian food forever. And we finally found it. The ambience, the taste, the service. It just checked all the boxes. And they even have have what most Indian restaurants lack. A clean restroom. We had the paneer balti and the indi Chini sizzler because they were recommended. Needless to say, they hit the right notes. And we ordered papri chat just coz... and guess what we loved that the most.. definitely definitely will go there again. The whole restaurant was smelling of the chocolate brownie sizzler but we were too full to have it, so we left it for our next visit read more

Good food, good ambience but a bad service. I visited this restaurant just before it was renamed from Sankalp to Khaati Peeti. The sizzlers here are pretty good. We ordered the Assorted Vegetable Barbeque Sizzler and liked it. We ordered paneer balti, malai kofta as entrees along with a side of assorted breads. Food was tasty but the service was not good. We asked them to get water multiple times but they still didn't get it. It has a nice ambiance. It is well decorated. We met the owners. They were very nice and friendly. read more

Absolutely loved my visit to Khaati Peeti Restaurant & Bar (formerly Sankalp Fremont)! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented -- I tried the Neon Margarita, Mix Grill Sizzler, Kaju Curry with Cheese Garlic Naan, and Sizzling Brownie, and everything was incredible. The ambiance is chic yet cozy, perfect for date nights or family dinners. Staff were friendly and attentive, and the cocktails were some of the best I've had in Fremont. read more

The food could have been better. The service and ambiance is good. The menu is huge and exciting, so we ordered a sizzler, pani pur, a main course and a few naan. However, after eating my first bite, I was sure this isn't the place for me. The quality of ingredients isn't there and the food is heavy on the palette. As an example, the pani puris were soggy that even my kid refuse to eat them. None were holding water, the paneer was too tight and bland, the kebabs were too dense. The only saving grace was there naan's. I did ask the server for suggestions on their best recommendations for veg. So, if it isn't good in the end, it isn't because I chose wrong. I don't think I will be visiting them again. I wouldn't know if they are good for non-veg dishes or drinks. read more

We go here for the sizzlers since I haven't found any other place that servers good sizzlers in the usa. Liked the Manchurian sizzler but the paneer in that was average. Very chewy. Also had the chicken manchow soup. Not the best I have had but also not the worst. Loved the sizzling brownie. Best finisher to the meal. Ambiance is pretty great! read more

First time after the name change from Sankalp to Khaati Peeti. We were here in the weekday evening so got the table quickly without any waiting. Service was quick too. We wanted to try their South Indian food but we started with Sev Batata Dahi Puri. We had Pavbhaji Dosa and Onion Uttapa. SPDP was good, I also liked Pavbhaji Dosa. Onion Uttapa wasn't on the menu. It was originally Onion Tomato Uttapa but I asked if I can get just the normal Onion Uttapa and I guess that modification (?) didn't work. It was too thick and wasn't that tasty with very little onion compared to any onion Uttapa you will get at other restaurants. Other than that good experience! read more

Loved the place ! Nice Indian restaurant vibe Instrumental music and privacy cubicles. Very good concept. We went around 9 pm , got seated quickly. Service was very good. Servers were very attentive. What we tried : Vegetarian assorted BBQ sizzler : This has marinated paneer, potato tikki and vegetables. Marinated cauliflower was my favourite, it is so tasty that it deserved independent dish title . Harábhara kabab was not up to the mark. Schezwan noodles: They are spicy noodles and they come with even spicier delicious sauce. Momos: Fried momos with vegetables stuffing. They are crunchy and Yummy!!! Overall I am happy with the vibe and will definitely come again ! read more

Decided to drop in because our regular place is closed. I've never eaten at a "higher quality Indian restaurant" (as one of the previous reviews stated) before, so I didn't really know what to expect! The interior is intricately decorated, which gave us something to look at while we waited for our food. The space feels a little cramped when seating a table of two. The waitress was attentive & the food came out within 15 minutes. (However, it's worth noting that there were only two other parties aside from us). We ordered the samosa chaat, one garlic naan (which you can order plain or with butter), butter chicken (which came with a bowl of rice) and the veg dum biryani, which came out to $56 before tip! The samosa chaat came with chickpeas & was spicier than expected, but not as sweet as other places I've had (probably due to less tamarind chutney). The butter chicken was also not as sweet and a bit bland as well, not a huge tomato taste. The veg biryani was packed with lots of veggies & aromatics. The taste was a little sour and bitter for my taste and I didn't love constantly biting into the cloves and star anise. It was pretty flavorful though. All in all, not terrible, but not my favorite place either. I would give it a 3.5/5 stars! read more

Food is as good as it was earlier. Nothing much has changed except for the name of the restaurant. The only reason I am dropping one star is because the dining tables and chair are all in pretty bad shape. They appeared to be swank and elegant earlier but now all the tables rock and are propped up with bits of paper under the feet/pedestal. The tables are also badly scratched up and the chairs and sofa-style seats are looking pretty bad and we were unsure if it was safe to sit down on them. About time they changed the furnishings and the exhaust system.....don't take your expensive silk sarees or jackets to this place unless you are okay with the smell of tandoori sticking to your clothes. read more

Sankalp hails from India, and its Fremont location offers an elegant, refined atmosphere and a gigantic menu of both North and South Indian dishes. My favorite dish was the Three Barrel Dosa, a plate of not one, not two, but three rolled dosas, each with different fillings! The varieties included Mysore (spicy red chutney), Keerai (spinach paste), and Kara Mura (dusted with spicy milagai podi), all served with sambar, tomato chutney, and coconut chutney. My favorite of the three was the Kara Mura, as the milagai podi (spice powder) added a nice spicy flavor to the dosa. One of their most popular entrees was the Paneer Balti, which came with paneer cubes in two different curries served side-by-side in a metal balti container. One sauce was a creamy brown onion gravy, and the other was a creamy tomato gravy, both of which had a savory flavor and went nicely with a side of basmati rice and bullet roti (whole wheat flatbread topped with chopped green chilies), though I didn't quite get what was so special about this dish. Finally, the Mix Grill Sizzler was a sizzling iron plate of meats cooked in a tandoor oven, including chicken malai, chicken tikka, tandoori chicken, and fish ajwaini, each of which was nicely marinaded and cooked to juicy, smoky perfection. Overall, the food here was decent but a bit overpriced, though the upscale atmosphere and friendly service were highlights. read more

The decor and ambiance of the place is really nice and the service was good too. We were a big group with a large order and our server handled our requests really well and had a great demeanor. The food however, was just mediocre. Nothing to talk home about. We got a bunch of items: sev puri dahi puri, papdi chat, the paneer tiranga tikka appetizer, cheese dosa, idli, Bombay sandwich, chicken Frankie and malai kebab. It was all just okay. Not very tasty or memorable honestly. read more

My husband baby and I had dinner at this restaurent for Diwali. I was looking for a good dine in indian food place and stumbled upon this. Ambiance: Just wow, it felt like we were transported back to India dining inside a palace. Loved the vibe, the decore, ambiance, the temple like feeling, the furniture, paintings, lit up diyas and everything. the soothing instrumental soundtrack playing in the background added a nice touch. Just for this Id go there again. Food: this piece is alright. not good not bad either. Tandoori was nice and juicy. hot and sour soup was alright. I ordered the non veg chinese sizzler. its a good mix of chowmein, fried rice, chilli chicken and lamb pepper fry. everything was decent nothing wow about them. My son liked the fried rice haha so its a win for me. they also gave fresh curd for him which he enjoyed happily. I felt the place to be packed with heavy furniture, would be nice to have little more space to move around or for our high chair as well. also i had to jump in to land on the sofa, there was no space to enter as well lol. It was expensive for sure. Prices could be better. read more

They have a lot going for them yet a lot needs to improve. I really wanted to like this place - super extensive menu reminded me of of restaurants in India, decor is pretty busy but it somehow works. The food was a hit or miss and the service could have been better. What we ordered 1. Lemon soda - 4/5 was well flavored 2. Assorted Vegetable Barbeque Sizzler 1/5 $24.99 (An assortment of barbecued Hara Bhara kababs, Paneer Tiranga, Gobi tikka and Aloo Tikki) It was served without hara bhara kebab and aloo tikki. When we flagged it, they just took it back and brought it out again with the correct items. Aloo Tikki was mostly frozen. White Paneer tikka was good and soft but other paneer pieces had food color green and red that looked so unnatural that we decided to skip that. Gobi tikki also was colored unusally red. Hara bhara kebab tasted good but I doubt if that was also from a frozen section. 3. Triple Schezwan Fried Rice 3/5 The noodles and rice was good, the manchurian and gravy was also alright but the manchurian quantity was surely less for the amount of rice and noodles. 3 small pieces of manchurian, I think 4 would have been better to share between 2 people. 4. Sizzling Brownie 3/5 $ 13.99 (Chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream on a sizzler plate served with chocolate sauce) The star of the show, the other reviews raved about this dish and it met the expectations. I was let down to find big chunks of ice in the ice cream suggestive of improper ice cream storage. Their menu has a lot of variety so it was a bit confusing to decide what to get. I wonder if that also plays a part in terms of kitchen missing out ingredients in dishes as it happed with us. May be next time we will try more street food style dishes or south indian varieties to see if the experience differs based on food category. read more

The ambience is like being in a small palace in India, with the architecture and paintings on the wall. The booths are vinyl, yet slightly comfortable with the decor being very old world Indian. Located at the Fremont Hub, which seems to be going downhill, with lots of empty stores and several homeless people walking around. We came for the 4ft long dosa but after seeing the price of $49.99, we lost interest. $50 for something that costs pennies to make (in terms of the ingredients), seems to be unreasonable. We ordered the Super Paper Dosa, which may have been around 1.5ft long. It came with a side of sambar, which was excellent and one of the best tasting we have had in quite some time, the tomato chutney was good and have a little zing to it. The coconut chutney was good and similar to other places. We wanted one more dish (NOTE: there are probably over 200 menu items so it can take a while to figure out what you want). We decided to get the mix grill sizzlers, which had two pieces of tandoori chicken, one large tandoori fish ajwaini (says it comes with sauce so I assume the small bowl of chutney was the sauce), several pieces of malai chicken and some pieces of chicken tikka. The dosa was probably the crispiest dosa I have ever had. It wasn't piping hot when we got it but it was still crisp. The sizzler was good, however nothing to write home about. There was no real spice to the meat. The price is quite expensive for the amount received. $39.98 for the sizzler and $14.99 for the dosa was overpriced IMO. They don't expect any top as the server said they don't get to keep it. The dosa probably costs pennies to make and the meat is probably less than 1 lb. This is probably 3.5 stars but giving 4 . read more

Located in the mall hence you can find plenty of parking spots, lovely decor/ ambience, welcoming service and the food is great. We had the Chinese non veg sizzler, Chinese bhel, sizzling brownie with ice cream and a mango lassi. The mango lassi was okay, but the other three dishes were absolutely fantastic. The non-vegetarian Chinese sizzler had a portion of chicken and lamb. The lamb preparation is an odd man out on the platter, flavours are inclined more towards mughlai. I never prefer the sizzling brownie with ice cream but I loved it at sankalp. Kid friendly and a warm space for family and group gatherings. read more

This place has a vast menu. My ratings on food can depend on what I ordered any day. My first day here was so so, but second time was realky good. Service is decent. Ambience is great. They have an elegant Indian decor and nice seating. I like their chicken manchow soup and chai the most. Apparently they have a popular sizzling brownie with ice cream, but we haven't tried that yet read more

Came here when the restaurant was called something else, I can't remember the name. I came with my parents for lunch and we were seated right away. The interior is quite bougie looking, very nice decor and the food presentation is nice as well - not your typical Indian restaurant. Their menu was extremely extensive, maybe too many options even? Talk about decision fatigue. We ordered a mix of items, everything was decent but nothing was too noteworthy in my opinion. Additionally, my dad ordered chai - we had to remind them 3 or 4 different times when we saw that it was not coming out with the rest of our items. In the end, we told them to cancel the chai since we were already done with our meal. I've found that when restaurants offer too many dishes, it's hard to make any of them perfect - that's what we experienced here unfortunately. And due to the extravagant interior design, the prices of the dishes matched this, resulting in a hefty bill. I don't mind spending money on food, but I'd expect the food to be better if I am dishing out for a nice meal. read more

Solid experience, absolutely massive menu, a very solid 4.5 stars. With options for meat, eaters, vegetarians, and Jain diets it's really something for everybody here. Most dishes were very good although the mango lassi was a bit bland and missed the mark. I enjoy the chicken hakka noodles that had just the right amount of flavor Service was pretty good, they checked in plenty and the dishes came out very quickly. Note that they bring things as soon as they're ready instead of all at the same time so family style ordering works best here. Really nice table settings glassware give a more authentic feel. The interior decor and vibe are way more elegant than I was expecting, and maybe even a little bit excessive and trying too hard. I went on a Saturday at 6 and the place started to have a little bit of a line by 645. This place will do great business especially for the location. A handful of couples and a lot of families. read more

Ambience is very opulent. A bit too heavy for the space. Makes it look claustrophobic and busy. But I do appreciate the effort to make some kind of refined atmosphere since Indian restaurants at this price point don't make any effort whatsoever. Service was good. Friday night was busy but the servers were attentive and everything came out to be served pretty quick. Food is where they dropped the ball. We ordered manchow soup which was fine. The soy chaap, the dosa were too greasy. The naan and paneer curries were too salty. Overall the food was underwhelming. read more

Khaati Peeti - Dosa - Indian Near Me - Fremont, California

TLDR: If you don't have time to go to a museum but still want a taste of Indian art and architecture, come here. Look elsewhere for Dosas unless you're a fan of frozen chutneys and mediocre food. Taste of India? Not through the food, but through the ambience. A lot of thought has been put into the ambience. Maybe too much of thought? Every wall has a piece of art, from traditional Tanjore paintings on one wall, all the way to Mughal architectural accents on another wall with an occasional carpet hung on the wall between them. Interesting! However, It also feels like the restaurant is still trying to figure out its identity and what it really wants to be. Now the food - The restaurant's quest for figuring out its identity continues onto the menu. They have everything from Kashmir to Kanyakumari in the menu. We dropped in at 5PM, and decided to snack and ordered the Indi-Chini sizzler and a Paper Dosa ( since there's a lot of hype of Dosas from this place ) The Paper Dosa unfortunately didn't deliver on the hype. While crispy, the dosa wasn't hot. The nail in the coffin was the frozen chutneys. I'm not kidding. They're not even room temperature. They were actually more like softee ice creams than chutneys. This was a complete buzz kill. The indi chini sizzler would've been great if the lamb was seasoned a bit more. The rice and lamb can be described as bland at best. To the owners: Your menu clearly has lost focus just like the interiors of your restaurant. It's hard to serve good and authentic Indian food from all parts of India under one roof. Try specializing on the one thing that brings people to your door, maybe dosas? And lastly, frozen chutneys in a sit down restaurant? You should know better than that! read more

We are regulars at this place and we absolutely love the food here! The owner is super sweet and homely and welcoming. We love his hospitality and his kindness. Going to this restaurant almost feels like visiting home to us due to how nice he is. The servers are always quick, efficient and courteous. Love the decor too. In terms of food: 1) Indo-Chinese items on the menu are excellent (particularly the Manchow and Hot and Sour soups). The Indi-Chini sizzler is excellent too. 2) We love the street food items here too. The dabelis and vada pavs are really good. 3) South Indian food items are excellent (and the sambar tends to be quite tasty) 4) However, the Punjabi food here is okay. This place probably isn't my choice for eating Punjabi food. But since the other food items are all quite good, we will keep returning to this place for those. Their drinks menu is also pretty elaborate. And I've tried 3-4 of their drinks and all have been excellent so far! read more

We dined at Sankalp in Fremont and really enjoyed our experience. The authenticity of the food, the beautiful décor, and the staff definitely stood out and made the visit worthwhile. You can tell this place is popular, and it shows in the busy atmosphere. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that, because of how packed it gets, a few dishes didn't quite translate in quality, and a couple of items weren't available since they had run out of ingredients. That said, what we were able to try was delicious, and the overall experience was very positive. We'll definitely be back to try more! read more
