Tonight I was craving a home style chicken and rice dish similar to what my mom makes . Now I know it's not possible to get that from a restaurant, but the closest to that is the Donne biryani preparation that a few places offer in the Bay Area. So I looked up Yelp and found this spot. The fact that it already had 4.9 stars was reassuring but I didn't put too many expectations on it. But what I did was call the place and make sure they'd be open by the time I made that 28 mile drive. I spoke to a person named Sagar who took my order and told me to take my time getting there and drive carefully! Husband and I got there around 9:30pm and it's a cloud kitchen setup with kitchens in the back and a point of sale kiosk and counter at the front. As instructed I called Sagar and he came up to the counter with my food, and also let me know he had added a free dessert since I drove all the way from Hayward . Husband and I got home and immediately dug in and what can I say, the flavors totally took me back to my mom's kitchen. The Donne biryani was bursting with taste, and what made it superb was that the flavors were in balance, with neither the spices nor the aromatics being overpowering in any way. The other dish, the pepper chicken was epic by itself, and should have been enjoyed with a bread of some sort, because the biryani didn't need any accompaniment. As if this meal wasn't divine enough the cherry on top was the pineapple kesari dessert that Sagar kindly added to our takeout bag. Thanks Nalapaka, for a taste of home, away from home !

The inside had a good amount for seats and there is complimentary chai as well and theres outside seating. Its in a random residential area but would definitely make the trek back here.

My second time here. We came around 5.30 and ordered a mega tiffin. I came with two kids ages 9 and…read more3. At first I thought that tiffin will be enough for us but then my kids quickly gobbled the idli and mini dosa and wanted more. So I ordered another plate of only idlis( has 3 big soft fluffy ones) and also took advantage of the happy hour to order a masala dosa for me. I am not the kind of mom who eats kids leftovers all the time. So I wanted my own dosa. For drinks, I did a medium strong filter coffee ( they make it to your customization and I was surprised to see they even had jaggery). My 9 year old took a mango lassi. Food was incredibly satisfying. Servers are very attentive and they came three times to our table offering more chutney and sambhar. We already had enough but if you like more sambhar and chutney with your food, this is heaven. One server even came with ghee for my little ones for idlis. I was so grateful. He was genuinely sweet to my kid. Felt a connection than just a business! Ambiance is classy and relaxed at the same time. Nobody gave me the side eye when my three year old was a little noisy. Have a corner for takeout containers for leftover food, very generous. I would highly recommend this place for its delicious food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. Prices are reasonable. They have happy hour daily from 3-6 pm and when we went at 5.30, the restaurant was more than 70% full on a Thursday. Eat early and save money too. We really had a very good time!

The dosa is crisp and the fermented flavor is delicate. The filtered coffee is popular so I had to try it, and I love it. I'm not sure everyone would like it though. It's a strong coffee, slightly bitter even with sugar. The milk is poured with a long pull to create foam. The foam is light, not creamy or velvety like a latte. It's a very small portion in a small cup, and it's HOT, very HOT. I like it but I can see how other people might not. I was confused the first time I went in to eat because seating and ordering is not typical. When you first walk in, you go to the host and they'll give you a number then you walk to the room to your left to order and pay. You're given a chip if you order a coffee or tea and move over to the right. You give your chip to the person preparing the drinks for you. They ask your preference and hand over the very HOT drink. Then you sit at the table with your number on it. Your food is brought over fairly quickly. They bring extra sambar and chutney if needed, no extra charge. The dosa comes filled with turmeric spiced potato and on the side chutney (not my fave) and sambar which is so so good. You break a little dosa and dip and or scoop some of the sambar/ chutney. It's a casual setting and it gets pretty busy, especially on weekends. There are a ton of these types of restaurants and I'm pretty certain I've found the best one here!

We went on a Friday evening right when they opened, and everything was fresh and delicious. The restaurant filled up quickly, so it's clearly a popular spot.

It's made fresh and definitely one of the highlights. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Everything we tried was flavorful, and we'll definitely be back!

Like most Indian Buffets, they bring the Naan to your table, so it's fresh and this version was pretty good. They also brought Dosa (I hadn't had before) which was good at first, but I guess you have to eat it hot. The food wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible either, kinda like the OG Sizzler. I had a couple of plates of food and nothing really stood out. They had about 10 different choices for food, some cold items, and some desserts. The setup seemed like they didn't really remodel the space for a buffet. I don't think I'd go back based on the price and the quality. But it was quick and easy which is what I was looking for.

We went for the buffet and had an overall good experience, though it got off to a rough start…read more I had a reservation but arrived about 15 minutes late, which was completely my fault. I apologized, but one of the staff members called it out loudly in front of the other waiting customers, which felt a bit embarrassing. I believe the situation could have been handled more professionally and privately. Better staff training for situations like this would improve the customer experience. That said, the food itself was absolutely amazing. The buffet had a very large vegetarian selection with plenty of variety, and everything we tried was delicious. The service was a little slow initially when it came to bringing fresh bread (naan, etc.), refilling buffet items, and clearing soiled dishes from the table. However, it improved as the meal went on, and the staff was much better after the initial interaction. One other suggestion is regarding the dining hall temperature. We visited during the summer, and it felt quite warm inside. The door was kept open, but turning on the air conditioning would have made the dining experience much more comfortable. Despite the disappointing start, the excellent food made the visit worthwhile, and I would consider coming back.
