We came to this place after seeing an ad for their first day of launching the breakfast buffet…read more Totally loved it! There were so many different items and every item was made to perfection. Special mention to their amazing filter coffee. Along with idli, vada, poori, upma, punugulu, you can get a custom dosa made to order. The chutneys taste amazing as well, more like the Andhra style of chutneys and they are a bit on the spicier side exactly how we like them. Loved it so much that we went to this place back to back on 2 weekends

Unique South Indian food, across the street from Mylapore Westgate…read more Loved the Chili Cauliflower and Chennai style Mutton Biryani were delicious. Kumbakonam Coffee had a good kick. Overall, the flavors felt authentic. Chicken 909 was OK, nothing special compared to other Indian restaurants in the Bay Area. It lacked the semi gravy. Suggestions to restaurant: Add brief description of the menu items. For someone not familiar with the cuisine, it was difficult to comprehend. The staff was friendly. However, it felt awkward/uncomfortable to ask too many questions.

Great dishes/food - quality and variety. The rotating "bread of the day" is appreciated…read more Above-average service for this style/class, too. Have been here for 10+ visits now. Do plan to come back for more.

Extremely overpriced. I paid over $80 for 2 people for lunch buffet with limited options. You can…read morego elsewhere for a better buffet. I understand they mark up the prices because it is one of the only Indian spots in this business-affluent area. The service was good. They took a while to grab our empty plates but they were accommodating in bringing us some plain naan and sodas. Ambiance is great-- it's very clean and pretty on the inside. A little bit of a small space so it gets pretty packed for lunch. I was wanting to try the regular menu items. But that is not available during the lunch buffet.

Great taste, and staff very friendly. We really liked it!…read more Parking is limited but still accessible Thanks.

We visited this place recently while we were in the neighborhood. We ordered garlic naan, paneer…read moretikka masala, and a paneer wrap. The paneer tikka masala and naan were amazing. Absolutely delicious. I believe that wrap was OK but the preference would differ for other people. They had a baby chair which was good. And the place was clean. Once you go there, you get parking at the back of the building and there ample parking when we went. When you enter the restaurant, you can view the menu at the front desk, and order the food. And once the food is ready, they will bring it to your table. The staff was friendly too. A nice spot to get some Indian food.

I went to this restaurant with my family at 2:30 PM. We arrived before their break time, which…read morestarted at 3:00 PM. After being seated, we waited 15-20 minutes and no one came to take our order. When we politely asked if someone could take our order, the person who responded spoke to us in a very rude and disrespectful tone. We were shocked and disappointed, especially because we are regular customers and have supported this restaurant many times. What made the experience even worse was that he told us, "Leave the restaurant, I'm the owner." I could not believe that the owner would treat customers this way. As a business owner, you should treat customers with respect and professionalism, not hostility. The customer service was completely unacceptable, and the attitude we received was extremely disappointing. We left feeling unwelcome and disrespected. Unfortunately, if I could give 0 stars, I would.

Was in the area and ended up here due to the high ratings, and boy were they right! We came at an…read moreoff time around a 4pm on a Sunday, so there was only one other party inside. It's clean inside and plenty of natural lighting. Since we were one of two parties inside, the service was quick. I ordered the chicken tikka wrap, as I was feeling something handheld. The chicken tikka was perfectly seasoned, with a good kick of spiciness. I will say, the oil did seep through the naan wrap, so it was definitely a bit messy to eat. But the flavor was so good that it was worth it. AND, the wrap was only $14. In this economy? The prices were really reasonable. One of the best Indian restaurants I've had in the Bay, and I will be back!

Great food but, sadly, poor service…read more This was the first time my husband and I came here. We were very, very impressed by the food. Everything was just wonderful, and the food alone gets a solid five stars from me. Complex flavors, just the right amount of heat. Papadum, tandoori salmon, lamb saag, and gajar halwa were outstanding. The staff, unfortunately, looked inexperienced and standoffish. We came in at an off-peak time. The place was nearly empty, so it was not like they had their hands full. As we were going through the meal, not a single dirty plate was taken away from our table. When we finished dessert, all the used dishes from the appetizer and main course were still on the table. That was so odd. It was rather hard to get the attention of the servers. At one point, a server who had brought our dishes before was standing in the back of the room and looking straight at me. I tried to summon him first by making eye contact, then by a meek hand wave, but he redirected his look a little away from me and just continued standing there. We were brought the wrong dessert and realized that only after we started eating, but decided it would be too much hassle to get it replaced. We live very close by and will likely come back for takeout, but not for dine-in.

I absolutely love Sam & Curry. It reminds me of a Chipotle style setup but for Indian and…read moreMediterranean food. The customization is great, the spices are balanced, and everything tastes fresh. I came back this year and Maria remembered me from before, which says a lot about the customer service.

Would like to give it a second chance in the future, but the flavors and freshness of the food were…read morenot great. I tried a chicken curry burrito and a chicken tikka bowl, both of which came lukewarm and almost cold. The flavors left a sour aftertaste in my mouth which wasn't the most enjoyable. Samosas were stale with barely any filling. Mango Lassi was my favorite item. Workers were nice and patient! Very casual ambience: literally think chipotle!

The muntha masala chaat- innovative, delicious, great flavors all round. Beautiful presentation. Great brightness from the chutney combined with the sweet, earthy ,creamy flavors from the pea mash. Cheese naan- great molten cheese with buttery soft interior, wonderfully crispy exterior. Daal Makhani- deep rich flavor, nice hit of smoky flavor with every bite Lamb- fall off the bone lamb, very rich and tasty. But very spiced though, a little lacking compared to other dishes Almond Crusted Malai Kofta-rich tomato flavor in the curry. Wonderful texture, great bite. Perfect level of acidity to pair with the decadent silky smooth curry. Rabdi Cheesecake- decadent and not too sweet. Beautiful presentation. Saffron flavor doesn't really come through. enough though.

Prices are great, 65 ish before taxes and tip for 1 chicken, 1 lamb, samosa starter, gulab jamun, and this one other dessert. Added 1.99 per person for mango lassi.
