The quality is consistently excellent, and the experience feels special despite the simplicity of the place. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for delicious and comforting food.

There were several pickup orders ahead of us. We noticed our order and asked if it was ready; they said it would take another 15 minutes. When we came back, they handed us the same order we had already seen earlier. Veg chowmein: Nice smoky flavor and decent overall. Portion size was decent for the price. However, it felt oily and not particularly high quality. Veg momo platter: The momos were generously filled and had decent flavor, but the outer coating was too thick. The "tandoori" momo wasn't actually tandoori--just red-colored. The deep-fried momo was chewy. Overall, for the price, the food didn't feel justified and wasn't great in terms of quality.

I loved the ambience of this place - they have really put effort to bring forth Punjabi small town vibes. Kudos for having that vision.

We ordered the Pachimirchi paneer, chicken tikka burger, veg puffs, garlic naan, street-style noodles, chai, and falooda, and every dish was flavorful and hit the spot. They are known for their very generous Mandi dish, which is a Yemeni dish that gained popularity in Hyderabad due to Yemeni immigrants. It's a combination of flavored rice and a variety of meats. The restaurant was super busy, which speaks to how popular it is, but the service was pretty slow & they were out of many food items as a result. The restaurant has regular seating and, in addition, cute closed booths where you can sit at a low table in the traditional Indian way. They also have some funky prison booths with handcuffs, etc. If you aren't in a massive rush, the food is definitely worth the wait for some solid Indian fusion and street-style favorites. I will be definitely going back to try their famous Mandi Ambiance: 10/10 Service: 8/10 Food: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Seating: indoor & privacy booths Parking: Ample, free parking available Price: $30-$50 per person

Served with Yemeni schug, a green chutney, and tomato onion sauce. I tried fish Mandi and absolutely loved it. The rice was seasoned with hawaij and toasted raisins and almonds, and the fish was nicely crispy and covered in a sauce similar to tikka masala, very tasty. They have a few different kinds of delicious yellow dal that make a great accompaniment to Mandi -- spinach, tomato, mango pickle. The menu is very extensive, with a wide range of Telugu dishes. They have some fun little touches -- Mandi booths and a kitschy jail cell table, which apparently replicates a popular Mandi House in India. The service is very nice and welcoming.

The restaurant is super clean and spacious, with plenty of tables that can accommodate large parties. Service was super friendly and one of the reasons I will come back!

When our turn finally came, I tried it a bit reluctantly... and my goodness, it was absolutely delicious. The puri itself was crisp, and the combination of warm dal, spicy pani inside the golgappa (that's what we call it) was mind-blowing. Suddenly the long line made perfect sense. Totally worth every penny. We also tried their Vijayawada biryani and chicken tikka kabob, which were good too. Customer service was great as well. We would go back for those pani puris!

I've spent my whole life eating local food, and even the "mild" chicken biryani is about medium spicy.

Yelp said this place is open till midnight but I wasn't taking any chances driving from Hayward, so I called their number and they confirmed that they are open till midnight, all days! The truck is parked on a 7-11 parking lot on S. Abbot. They have two tables and 4 chairs for people wanting to sit there and eat. We ordered an Achari chaap ( soya protein) and a Rumali roti for my husband. For myself I got their tandoori chicken which came with 2 drumsticks and two thighs. The chicken itself was juicy and definitely well marinated. The achari chaap was a bit tangy for my husband's liking but had great taste and flavor if you ask me. The Rumali roti was soft and fresh. We also had chai which was creamy and hot! Food came out quite fast even though they had said it would take 15 mins. A couple things that stood out were the portions, which were plentiful and the prices which are very reasonable. Sunny the person at the window was super nice and patient taking our order and didn't mind husband and I going back and forth over what we wanted to eat.

However, we were told that bhaturas (and anything fried) aren't available after 10 PM, which was really disappointing. We were instead offered chole kulche, and since we didn't have many late-night options, we agreed. We were told the order would be ready in 15-20 minutes, but when we arrived, the food already felt cold, like it had been sitting out for a while. It got worse when we reached home--the kulchas were burnt, making the meal quite unpleasant. After a long day of travel, this was the last thing we expected. We were too tired to go back, but honestly, this was not acceptable. If you're advertising late hours, the quality and availability should match. This experience was really disappointing.
