I'm so glad we chose this restaurant because the food was actually so good. And the reason I can say this with confidence is because I had my mom, aunt, and uncle, who are not easy to please that were actually praising the food and the flavors. Trust me that is not an easy compliment to get especially from Indian people who swear that the best food is homemade food. The restaurant has a very nice ambience and would make a great place for a family/friend dinner and even a fine dining dinner date.

Wow everything is so flavorful and delicious!…read more We got the butter chicken, "GOAT," "Mushies," "Mr. Potato," the cauliflower, the Dal Makhani, the Tandoori Salmon, and a Mango Lassi. Must get: The Potato Chaat, the Cauliflower, the "Mushies" and the Mango Lassi. The Potato Chaat and the cauliflower are the perfect appetizers. Really light but packed with so much flavor. The cauliflower dish here is the best cauliflower dish I've had at any restaurant. It's phenomenal. The "Mushies" is a Mushroom and peas pot pie. Its a really really rich and flavorful curry in a puff pastry and it goes perfectly together. They had an equivalent dish that was a chicken pot pie, so I wish that brought that back, but this dish is still really really good. The Mango Lassi is the best mango lassi I've had in norcal. I quickly finished mine and had to order another. It's really so delicious. The butter chicken is ofcourse also packed with flavor! You can't go wrong with this. The Kholapuri Goat Curry would've been one of my favorites but it's really hard to eat the meat since it's bone in. The curry was great and we ate that up very quickly, but there was so much bone in our dish and it was really hard picking out the meat from the bone. Wish it was boneless! Or atleast if there was more meat compared to bone. The salmon was whatever, we didn't eat much of it. It was good but underwhelming compared to the other amazing dishes. We had a reservation for 4, but they had us wait for ~15min past our reservation time. But they were pretty packed and it was loud. Service was great beyond that and they were very accommodating to any of our requests.

There were only 5 small pieces and the rest of the container was sauce. In the past, there was much more meat. Same with the paneer saag. The food was still good, just felt disappointing compared to previous visits.

awesome awesome food. been a zareen's fan for years!…read more nestled within google campus, it's quite convenient to meet up with fellow friends in the area for after-work dinner (been here 3 times in the past month LOL) note that this location is take-out only, but there is plentiful outdoor seating. there's also a sports bar right across from here so we walked over to catch a world cup game (mexico vs. korea)! and if ur tryna see a movie, cinemark is also right there :)

Its on expensive side We had the crab mutabar bread and it did have crab pieces. Tried the taro chat which was great with bunch of chicken items. The cocktail drinks menu is relatively small. And not that great. Yakhani pulao was flavourful Perfect place to come on a date or family dinner. The ambience is pretty. The service is also quick.

We went here with family to celebrate my birthday…read more Had an absolutely amazing birthday celebration with delicious food and drinks. I would recommend their cocktails and well as mocktails menu. It's very well crafted. The ambience is very pleasing and romantic. The service was great. It definitely was crowded considering it was on weekday dinner. I would recommend reservations for the dinner before going in. Food was very tasty and unique. However I would say the special treat that was given for the very tiny. They could have improved that one with dessert on house. Being very expensive people usually go to celebrate some occasion and I would recommend they change the on the house celebratory dessert for the party.

Visited for a quick dinner with friend, great location & tasty food!…read more * Location: Right off El Camino, plenty of parking & easy to reach from San Antonio Caltrain station * Easy to read menu, friendly staff, easy to place orders for onsite dining, kiosks for takeout orders * Plenty of seating in large, clean booths and tables * Food was served super quickly, hot, & fresh. We appreciated the staff that made rounds to check on tables & offered additional (delicious) chutneys. Tasty eats, looking forward to trying more of their menu next time!

Good to have a south Indian restaurant close to home and also the fact that it opens early in the…read moremorning. I really like having south Indian food for breakfast when possible. Food is always fresh and tastes good. Definitely recommend the Benne dosa, which is not commonly available in Bay area. It's a more thicker and crispier version of dosa. Have tried their idli, medu vada and the combo and mini Thali as well. Yet to try their lunch Thali or the rice items. They also have a daily $5 item, which is not listed on the normal menu and available after 3 pm . Some of these items are good as a snack like their Bajji ( chili fritters) available on Wednesday , while some are good enough as a meal like the Adai Avial ( lentil crepe served with a coconut milk based veg curry ) . They also sell, ready to eat , grab and go curries. The menu is completely vegetarian. This place is already popular , seeing how it always has customers throughout the day.

Celebrated Valentine's Day dinner here and was honestly surprised it wasn't packed. The food was…read moreAMAZING. We started with the meat platter appetizer: seekh kebab, tandoori chicken, rack of lamb, and malai chicken, it was served with a few different sauces on the side. Every single bite was flavorful, and all the meats were perfectly tender. For our entrées, we ordered the chicken tikka masala and lamb vindaloo with garlic naan and plain naan. And of course, I had to get a mango lassi, I always do. Everything was absolutely delicious. The sauces were rich, well-seasoned, and flavorful in every bite. The only thing I noticed was that service was a bit slow. There was only one other table when we arrived, and another came in after us, but somehow their food came out before ours. It wasn't a huge deal, just something we noticed. Even with the slower service, the food more than made up for it. I will be coming back.

This place looks like a hole in the wall, a little outdated when it comes to the interior; however…read moretheir food makes up for it! It seems like they get substantially more delivery requests than inside dining. Knowing they are always busy makes me feel comfortable with the freshness of the meat. We love getting their special chicken65 briyani. It is so different than most briyani's. I wish they offered some options such as fried onions on top to make it more inline with briyani condiments, but regardless it is so delicious and they offer so much meat. The only feedback I have is that their menu is surprisingly small for an indian restaurant. If you had more options, I would order so much more. Especially in the appetizer section where you would expect basics such as chaats, tikis etc.

A rare late night restaurant! I really appreciated their late hours -- another nearby Indian…read morerestaurant I was looking at closed at 10pm. First came out was the plain Naan I had ordered -- it was one of the best I've ever had! -- I could have made a meal out of it. Light, both crispy and chewy, exceedingly fresh. I ordered the Chicken Korma but I don't like dark meat, only chicken breast, and the server said she could arrange to have just breast meat -- alas, it was a mix of dark and white which, for me, was a bummer. However ... the korma curry sauce was outstanding! Very flavorful, creamy, satisfying. I had no problem taking forkfuls of just the curry and rice, without the chicken, and it was wonderful. I did eat the breast pieces that I could find with the curry and rice and it was a great bite -- but had it been all breast it would have been perfection and I would have given the place five stars. I do wish they could introduce some warmer, softer lighting -- the harsh white lights didn't pair well with the warm & wonderful & comforting cuisine. But, that all being said, it I was in the area again I'd definitely come back.

We appreciate how the nihari was sealed in a container inside a plastic bag, nestled in a paper bag with handles and reinforced bottom. How though! The nihari brings us back to Pakistan - 20/10. We will be back for other items! The outdoors seating area was bustling as ever.

Service was good at first but then it took a very long time between the appetizers and mains to come out. The servers also did not check on us much between that time. I liked the food and the variety. I would get everything I rated an 8 or above again. The menu they gave us said we could pick any dessert but the didn't do that and instead just gave everyone Gulab Jamun. Technically we could have had unlimited plates and ordered more of all the other food but the servers didn't come back to ask if we would like that. It was ok though because the amount of food that they brought out was plenty for our group and I appreciated that they brought out boxes for us to take back leftovers.
