Plain Naan
S F.

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.

Half Garlic Naan

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!!

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

Freshly cut Katla and curry chicken
Harmanjeet K.

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.

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!

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)

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.

Was so excited about this hot pot meat place. I had high expectations due to this place only sell…read moremeat for hot pot and based on the other reviews are known to have high quality meat. 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. Ambiance: nice clean shop so 2 stars for that

I often get the American Wagyu Chuck Roll and New Zealand Lamb Shoulder--both are essential for the perfect hot pot experience. What I love most is that everything here is pure cuts, no processed meat. Every bite is pure happiness--tender, fresh, and incredibly flavorful. 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!

I live in Evergreen and it takes me almost 30 minutes to drive here during dinner time traffic…read more That's how good the food quality is here! It's worth the time and effort for high quality meats; here it's Japanese style meat and bbq aka yakiniku. The service is wonderful too, the owner and staff are always very personable and eager to please each time we visit for the past three years. The place is warm and clean, I appreciate the overhead vents at each table. They are able to confidently accommodate large parties to two person groups. They can get busy and full on the weekends though, so consider making reservations. My friends and I don't gorge on meat as much as we used to, but when we do, Meat Time is high on the rotation due to the high quality meats and cuts, plus Japanese style bbq. We always order the premium selection of the all you can eat menu which is $68/person. You choose the cuts you want and the servers will bring them to you for you to grill at your table. They have extra premium wagyu cuts that are priced ala carte and worth it every time. As someone who just visited Japan a few times this past year, this place is as close as you will get to authentic Japanese wagyu in the greater San Jose/Milpitas area. Hmm the yummy tender fatty melts in your mouth wagyu. There are delicious side dishes and vegetables that come with the ayce, but I don't want to focus your time on them. Taste the delicious heart attack in your mouth. Can you tell I like this place yet? If you like high quality premium meat yakiniku style, you know what time it is?

One of my favorite Turkish restaurants in the area…read more I've tried the outdoor seating where you cook your meats yourself kind of like Korean BBQ, but Turkish version. I've also tried their indoor seating where you can order the food off the menu. I love the appetizers, the main dishes and I always finish my dinner with cold baklava and a Turkish coffee. I love the interior design, with the images of popular Turkish places like Istanbul and others, you feel like you are in Turkey. The staff is the kindest there is in the service industry. Everyone is polite, welcoming and work quickly even when there's a rush of customers. This place is a must try!

I don't usually write negative reviews--mostly because I do my homework and tend to choose places…read moreI'm genuinely excited about. 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.
