    Half Garlic Naan
    Chandrika B.

    We went out grocery shopping to neighbouring apna bazaar and saw a long line at this restaurant/ butcher shop. We thought of giving it a try for a quick meal pickup. We ordered it first and to-go, that way when we were done grocery shopping, the food would have been ready :) and it worked out pretty well! Small store/ restaurant with no indoor dining space. Friendly service. They do have tables set up outside incase u want to sit and grab a quick bite. They offer lots of quick meal combos and u can also order main dishes or kebabs as individual orders if u dont want the combo meals. In $32, we got: - goat curry - 3/5 - greasy, good quality meat, with bone but not a fan of their spice choices in this one. Towards the bland side so will try another dish next time. - lamb seekh kebab 3 pcs side order - 5/5- yummy, juicy, huge and filling. Spicy too :) paired perfectly with their breads - garlic naan 1 pc - 4.5/5 - yummy and fresh and spiced up too :) loved it! Definitely coming back for more!!

    Plain Naan

    Fast lunch service. They offer a two dish with rice and naan for $16. Chicken keema was flavorful as was the daal of the day. Maybe a bit too salty and that's where the naan should have helped! The naan was a disappointment. It tasted like it was made with too much milk powder and bisquick. The patio in front had plenty of tables with umbrellas for an outdoor lunch.

    Freshly cut Katla and curry chicken

    Master butcher is very conveniently located beside one of the most famous Indian grocery stores in the bay area, Apna Bazaar and fulfills all our cut meat requirements and meets all expectations. They have cooked food ready to go in store as well as online and have a very easy online ordering sytem. Ordering raw curry cut chicken (skin free) online is a breeze as opposed to standing in line in store and our order is always packed well. We usually order tandoori chicken and goat curry from here. We love their tandoori chicken and always request some extra charr on the chicken quarters and we get nothing short of excellent food. You can see Uncle ji making delicious tandoori chicken and naan in store and it always takes me back to when my family tandoored every weekend. We love bringing freshly frozen fish home from here. Rohu and Katla are native to bengal and they give absolutely fine quality cut fish bengali style for jhol (curry) and bhaja (fry). You select your fish from the freezer and they cut it for you the way you want it. We took 8 lbs Katla from them last week, marinated the pieces in small batches in turmeric and froze them. We just had to thaw each pack, apply a second marination of spices and fresh ginger-garlic and it was ready to fry and extremely juicy, tasty and fresh. Their fish isn't frozen for a very lengthy period of time and they do run out of it so we like to purchase it in bulk and enjoy. Their chicken mince is delicious. It's not just chicken breast minced in a processor but a very traditional mince with full flavor and texture. Our home made seekh kebabs are a a hit and we love getting mince from here and won't look elsewhere. Everyone here is friendly and they always welcome us smilingly. We visit Master butcher's twice every week and it has become a ritual, something I don't think we'll be giving up anytime soon.

    Great place to buy marinated chicken and marinated fish. Tried their cooked food. Not a great fan of it. Prices are competitive.

    The Menu

    We have been getting fresh marinated chicken and ground chicken from here for a while now. We transitioned to buying ready made food about 6 months back and it's been amazing. We make a trip at least once in 2 weeks to pick up a few of their tandoori (grilled meat) platters. I will list our favorites here : 1. Chicken Kabab Platter - Super yum and the meat is fresh and juicy. I prefer the platter as it's a good full meal (I can't finish all the rice that goes with it) 2. Mutton Kabab Platter - Spicy, Juicy and delicious (see picture) 3. Family Platter - lasts my family of 3 - 2 great meals, I add a salad and sometimes a dal (lentil soup) to round it off 4. Chicken Burger and Fries - my son loves this - it's an indian spiced burger 5. The Lunch/Dinner Special - it comes with 2 curries, nan, rice and salad - this week for example I got the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Kheema Matar (minced goat meat cooked with peas) - which was incredibly delicious I am so glad I found this place and it hits a spot when I want some good, reasonably priced meat curries (and don't forget the fact that you can buy all your fresh meats and fish from here)

    June 2022 Menu - To Go, there is sitting outside

    This review is for the saag paneer and butter chicken, they were Delicious! I love saag paneer and butter chicken. I order it everywhere and it is very good here. Good flavor and just enough cubes of cheese & chicken. During my last two visits, they had four curries on the right side of the door as you enter, on the left hand side of the aisle just past the cashier. We were able to order the curry, pay, they filled the containers and gave them to us, very fast. But Yes, this place is called Master Butcher. They do have meat in their cases that you can buy, marinated and raw. You can also buy it cooked. When you order it, it's raw so you have to wait the time it takes to cook which is a while which I did on my last visit. It's good! I would call it in next time.

    The driest food ever!  Chicken biryani, goat chop
    Snehal H.

    Ordered 2 dishes, chicken biryani and goat chops. Both tasted terrible. The more driest chops ever made! with no flavor just meaty. Biryani was colored puffed rice paired with the driest chicken ever! Save your appetite for the yummy Gol gappe sold just outside!

    Tandoori Chicken 1/2
    Pramod K.

    The tandoori leg tasted really good the first time I got it here, but was charred. I told myself that it happens sometimes and bought the legs again this weekend and they are also charred. I understand that tandoori legs do get charred, but not to an extent where I have to almost peel the outer layer completely to eat it. A little care to avoid too much char would make this a great item.

    Chicken Tandoori Lahori Charga 1/2
    Purva J.

    Highly recommend this for a truly Indian/Pakistani food experience - spicy and pocket friendly. I have loved their Chicken kheema naan best! Their chicken churga and tandoori chicken is great as well, in fact, is the best on the bay according to my husband. The wrap I found was okay, but the fries with them were to die for. I'm gonna do just fries next time. The ambience is like you've stepped into Mumbai/Delhi for a minute. Outside seating with Bollywood music and free chai from Apna Bazaar beside this restaurant. People are vibing at the Pani puri stall as well. You go for the whole experience. The team is really great too - they forgot a part of our dish but even before we realized, came out to apologize and pack us something great. I'm a regular at this point with them

    Combo plate with two curries recommended enthusiastically by two other patrons: chicken curry and butter chicken.

We only picked out a stable: American wagyu. The meat looked pretty good with marble through out. Surprisingly when put in hot pot it shrinks into a wrinkly ball and also turned black. I have never seen a meat like that (also we only buy hot pot meat at Nijya and their quality is great). Taste wise the meat was quite tough and stringy and has a gamy metallic after taste. In the pictures the kighter hotpot meat is from costco and the black ones is from Meat House. Costco one tasted much better. At this point im not even upset about the money spent just upset that our hot pot night was kind of ruined. Service is ok. Kind of straight forward. You picked the meat and pay and leave.

I often get the American Wagyu Chuck Roll and New Zealand Lamb Shoulder--both are essential for the perfect hot pot experience.

I've even heard that many people take their meats on ski trips for hot pot--now that's what I call enjoying life! Highly recommend Meat House for high-quality meats that elevate your hot pot game!

    Big as a Stanley mug, heavy as the Stanley Cup…read more Established in 1891, this second-oldest business in Los Gatos is older than Stanford, Carnegie Hall, Caltech, the Swiss Army knife, Cole Porter, the escalator, and basketball! They are much hyped for monstrous, incredibly layered over-the-top sandwiches with proprietary, house-made marinades, jerky varieties, and custom-smoked meats. Which may explain the lines, long waits, and lack of tables, not in a complainy way. Surprised at myself for not going earlier (the constant Instragram reels adding up), I had to go before I ended my tenth year in San Jose. I got the gutbusting Quad (pastrami, pulled pork, tri-tip, bacon, on a fresh Dutch Crunch). It was too big to eat as a sandwich- it was something you had to manage and attack. Truth is, I couldn't detect the pastrami because it was slathered in tender, lean, bbq meat, nor could I detect the bacon until the sandwich "thinned out" to normal human consumption size, meaning that I ate the meat out through the edges or the contents fell out. It's call quad because you need four napkins per bite.

We were attended to within seconds of arriving. They also have a great selection of smoked sausages and meats. Worth checking out before your next backyard bbq.

We decided to go with the premium AYCE for $68 pp. Your party gets to order 2 orders of meat pp to start off with and then it is one order pp per round subsequently. There is the usual 90 min time limit before you're cut off. I have to mention, I'm a big fan of Ushiya so came with preconceptions. First and foremost, meat quality is amazingly good and the portions are large! We actually only got through 2 rounds (3 plates of meat) per person before we were tapping out. The wagyu fried rice was delicious and I enjoy all their appetizers and sides. The home made kimchi, marinated cucumbers, seaweed soup, egg yolk dipping sauce, all delicious! Service got alittle slow when more large parties came but once they were settled with their order, service picked up again. I wish they had a qr ordering system to request items, that is one thing missing. Overall, loved dinner! If you don't mind the price point and want a more higher quality Japanese AYCE grill, this is the place.

This one was disappointing enough to feel worth documenting. My boyfriend and I ended up here after attempting to go to Treehouse nearby (which had an hour wait--unsurprising given the concept). This restaurant was a short walk away, which actually worked out well given how congested the area was, and we walked in optimistic. The space itself is very large, but nearly empty for a weekday evening. It felt family-owned and casual, which I usually love--many of my favorite restaurants fall into that category. Unfortunately, the experience didn't reflect that warmth. We were given a different menu than other diners, which immediately felt odd. Service wasn't overtly rude, but it was noticeably unwelcoming--almost a "why are you here?" tone rather than hospitality. We ordered hummus and feta, both of which were surprisingly expensive for the portion and quality. We were told bread would arrive automatically with the hummus, but it didn't--despite asking multiple times. When it finally arrived, it was poorly cooked and no longer served any purpose, as we were already well into the meal. Despite the restaurant being far from busy, our mains took about 30 minutes. One dish--a kebab--was fine but very forgettable for a $30+ price point. My dish, dumplings in a yogurt-based sauce, was honestly inedible. I left it untouched and mentioned that it didn't taste good. The response was simply, "Oh, so you don't want a box?" No attempt to fix the issue or even acknowledge it. What sealed it for me was the overall condition of the place. Dirty cutlery, a generally rundown interior, and a lack of attention to cleanliness made it uncomfortable to eat there. I'm not picky about ambiance when the food and service deliver--but here, nothing quite worked together. The whole experience felt very turn-and-burn, as if the restaurant relies on proximity to a popular area rather than repeat customers. I left feeling like unless you're part of a specific in-crowd, this isn't a place that's trying very hard to win you over. Personally, I wouldn't return, and I wouldn't recommend it--especially given the pricing and the many better options nearby.
