Now that madhuran is gone, this is the best Indian restaurant in the area. They are always improving and always upgrading their interior. But their food has always been the star. Older Indian restaurants in the area were only popular because they originally had no competition. read more

We had the pleasure of eating lunch at this restaurant. All the dishes were tasty and price point was affordable. We had leftovers as well. Surprisingly the next week we went to a a baby shower and our friend hired Jay from Samraat to cater their event at the park. He brought his own charcoal grill and made kebabs and other dishes including biryani and a few other things I wasn't familiar with. All were tasty and perfectly warm during a colder day at the park. What a fun way to surprise guests and we appreciated that most dishes were finished cooking on site! read more

I went here for the Buffet Lunch at 1 PM, they are open for lunch between 12 to 3 PM. At 1 PM the tandoori chicken, fish pakora and goat curry were empty. I asked if they would add more, the gentleman in charge of the guest area said yes. 20 minutes later they added 3 pieces of tandoori chicken to the tray. The goat curry was not refilled. I had to ask for my naan after 15 minutes of starting to eat. I get that this is a small restaurant and they don't want to waste food but to serve the food piece by piece and have your customers fight for it is crazy. The food was average. This place is not worth it. read more

It was okay, I've had better.. I wish there was more bold flavors in the curry& the rice was a bit dry but it was okay if you don't know how Indian food should truly taste read more

I arrived 12:30 pm, they take away the chai and said it's empty. The buffet is until 2:45 pm and the guy refused to make more chai! He said I need to pay extra. Crazy. Then I asked a refill on the Naan and he gave me 2 burnt pieces. $18 with tax, don't waste money here. read more

Samraat Curry Hut - Burnt naan - Indian Near Me - Newark, California

Nothing too special, just usual Indian food you get in the bay. We tried their Paneer Badami, Baingan Bartha, Plain Paratha & Garlic Naan all of which were satisfactory. The breads were Infact a bit too dense and chewy but the curries were good. Baingan Bartha was spiiicyy which I didn't mind but my husband was not a fan of. The Paneer Badami was rich, creamy & very delicious! We picked up our food to go but I noticed they have plenty seating incase you wanna dine in! read more

Chicken kaathi roll had thick parantha, with omelette inside and a chicken sheekh kabab in the the center. No spice, no onions, no vegetables .... Nothing . Just bland. I could taste each of the 3 ingredients separately. Struggled to finish half of it. Keema parantha was dry. Chicken tikka kabab had no tikka in it, just burnt, dry chicken cubes on a some onion slices. Butter chicken was too tangy. Not going back. Do not recommend. Server was polite. Ambience was ok. read more

All you can eat price was great for the quality of food I received. Definitely looking forward to going back.

Very good place to eat. Love the lamb and mutton. Fantastic naan. Great service. Do NOT order your food online, though. Better to call. This little problem is not worth taking off an entire star. If I could give 4 1/2, I would. However, I will keep coming back. read more

I'm sick and was craving Indian food and we decided to order from here. First off, the naan was so burnt that it wasn't even edible. It was the worst naan I've ever seen (obviously couldn't eat it because it was so burnt). Chicken tikka was burnt on some areas, pretty dried, and could be more flavorful. Everything else was okay (butter chicken, lamb biryani, etc). I hope they are able to step up their game. Otherwise, customers will NOT be returning. read more

great indian food in a casual atmosphere at a pretty decently affordable price. the mixed vegetable korma was delicious with lots of yummy veggies in there. the chicken tikka masala was also scrumptious and had huge pieces of chicken. the naan was okay, i have had better to be honest. however, the curries definitely made up for it. the service was very friendly - the restaurant was a bit empty when we were there so the server was pretty much just tending to us. i would definitely go back to try other dishes and i highly recommend samraat curry hut if you're in the area! read more

Negative 10 stars If you enjoy wasting money and eating old food served with terrible service, this is your spot. Shocking this place is still running! read more

Oh this place gets better with every visit and clearly the popularity is growing as the lunch buffet fills the place. It's a basic retail plaza spot but they are doing their best to present very fresh naan and entrees perfectly priced. If you're looking for a quick lunch you'll be pleased. I definitely appreciate everything they've been doing to improve the interior to now match the quality of the food. read more

Yelpers If you like Indian food, go try SCH! Their weekday buffet is absolutely fantastic. But go early as they can be pack quickly for the lunch crowd. For $16, you cannot find another Buffet with the quantity you get here. I would give it a 5 star if the items are filled quicker but they do fill them as they run out. Here is a sampling of my lunch read more

Fireeeee food would come again everything was so well seasoned delishhhh. I got butter chicken saag paneer and naan

A friend originally from South India suggested we visited this place while visiting Fremont from SoCal, we were blown away by the delicious food and amazing service. We didn't know how to read the menu, but the gentleman assisting us was super helpful in breaking everything down for us. My colleague had their vegetarian version of Chicken Tikka Masala: Shaki Paneer. I had their best-seller: Cholle Bhatura. Everything is delicious and unfortunately I couldn't finish it. I def recommend their rose yogurt drink to break a bit of the spiciness from the garbanzo beans soup that comes with the dish. read more

For some reason they seemed to lose my phone order that I put in a few min prior but the food was good. Ordered a double rice and that was as expensive as the one order of curry so that seems a bit excessive (but I'm kind of a cheap ass when it comes to rice and always try to just bring home and eat my own rice, so take that with a grain of rice). read more

Finally got around to trying this place. It doesn't exactly stand out in the plaza of other options but I was craving Indian food near me and wanted it to be close to Safeway to pickup things so here I am. Spice levels can be different at each place so I opted to be safer than sorry, and ordered a mild lamb biryani. Initially I was a little put off by the styrofoam packaging, but man, that's a mountain of a biryani. There are chunky pieces of lamb here and there, but the mild turned to be not spicy. I've tried other biryanis that were more spiced up and flavorful so I'd say 4/5. Portion wise, it'll be day 3 by the time I finish it. Great when you don't wanna cook wfh lunch! The butter chicken is just an entree in the small container. Doesn't come with rice. Thankfully ordered a garlic naan which was flavorful but wish there were more pieces to the order. Butter chicken was a lot more flavorful and I ended up mixing some of that sauce with the biryani. Will be back to try some other items on the menu. read more

Ive always liked their food. But, we placed a catering order for 12 people a few days ago. On picking up the food, we initially thought the food might not be enough and called them to order more food. But they were honest enough to assure us that it was more than enough food for 15 people and I shouldn't order more. Turns out, they were totally right. It was soo good to such honesty when a lot of restaurants are focused on just making their money. We ordered veg pakora, chicken sheekh kabab (sooo good), mutter paneer, chicken kadai, yellow dal and butter naan. Everyone loved the food and had very good things to say. Thank you for the amazing food and the honesty! read more

Came here when I got a craving for some Indian food and was slightly disappointed Butter chicken: this was really lacking in flavor, I like that the tomato soup wasn't overpowering but it tasted almost flavorless/blandish after a few bites. I'm not sure if there was tooo much butter that made this happen Chicken tikka masala: actually better than I had expected it to be, spice level medium was perfect and had good flavor. Garlic naan: can't go wrong with pairing this with any kind of food! read more

One word to describe the food at this place. Disappointing. It's yet another bad Indian restaurant in the Bay area that sells absolutely anything in the name of Indian food. They are in business because there are people who will eat anything in the name of Indian food. Had ordered a takeout of only 1 item, Chilli Chicken, and it was inedible. It was sour in taste, plenty of long sliced onions slobbered in some disgusting tangy sauce ( source of all that sourness I believe) and some chewy chicken breast pieces which cries out loud as stale. After the first bite, we had to throw everything in the trash. Sadly in some reviews people have written good things about the same dish. I wonder how. read more

Was craving Indian food and has this place bookmarked for a couple years but finally got the chance to go. Ordered butter chicken, karahi chicken, vegetable samosas, and garlic naan. The vegetable samosas were pretty big and I was starting to get full before even starting the main course. The butter chicken was really good while the Karahi chicken was kind of salty. We had left overs of both and didn't have any naan but ended up eating it with regular Jasmine rice the next day and it was so much better with the rice and the Karahi chicken actually balanced really well with the rice and was no longer salty. I guess the rice just absorbs it better than the garlic naan. I highly recommend this place for some good Indian food! read more

An absolute hidden gem! I always passed by this place but never actually tried it until now. The food and price was amazing! We tried the pani puri, samosa, paratha, garlic naan, tikka masala, butter chicken, and lamb biryani. The pani puri and samosa were pretty decent for the price. Highly recommend the tamarind chutney they give. It was almost like a syrup but tasted delicious. As for the breads, everything is to order. I recommend sticking with the plain because it works so much better for the tikka masala and butter chicken. I almost ordered extra plain rice and naan just so I could have something to eat with the leftover sauce. It was so yummy! I highly recommend. As for the biryani, the lamb was juicy and each bite was so flavorful! This is going to become my new go-to spot for Indian food! They also have a lunch buffet on the weekdays for $16, which I need to come back and try one of these days. The service was great considering there was only one person taking orders, bringing food out, and handling take out. If you're looking for cheap, delicious food, I highly recommend! read more

Pretty delicious Indian food. Ordered online and the pickup process was very convenient. Ended up getting Palak Paneer, butter chicken, and garlic naan. I think the Butter chicken was outstanding and at a "hot spice" level, it had a good kick. The Palak Paneer was underwhelming and lacked flavor and Paneer. The garlic naan was delicious but reminded me more of a garlic pizza crust. read more

Tried appetizer assortment, tikka masala , achari goat . Nothing much to comment , less I say better it is.

One of our favorite Indian restaurants in Fremont! We love eating in the restaurant or taking togo. We usually just order the typical chicken tikka but I also really enjoy the egg curry as well. The garlic naan and mango lassi are amazing too! The staff are very nice and food is always quick when ordering. read more

I come here quite often because it is close to my house and open fairly late. They aren't too expensive and the food is pretty good. I usually get the chicken biryani or the shahi paneer with garlic naan. I usually get them both medium and the medium can still be a bit spicy for some people, but it's perfect for me. read more

This is a hole on the wall Indian restaurant that I'd come back to time and time again! The food is reliable, consistent, and delicious. My absolute favorite dish here is the paneer masala - it's not overly creamy like other restaurants and let's a lot of the spices shine. The paneer pieces are bite sized, and the dish also has some chopped veggies like bell pepper and onions. Other yummy dishes would be: Brown daal - again doesn't taste super creamy, and has lots of pieces of ginger and a very unique flavor Chili chicken - this is delicious and the masala is just fingerlicking good! I only wish that the chicken pieces were smaller so that I could get more flavor with each bite. I love coming here, and would recommend it to anyone! It may not look like the fanciest place, but it will definitely deliver in taste. read more

Shocked!!! Since "Uncle" retired. The Family business has not been managed too well. The Delicious food is no longer prepared with love. It seems the business is after the Almighty dollar and it shows in quality of food and the portion sizes. Time to try other Indian Cuisine establishments- Your denial to refund fees for the Mango lassi drink has cost more than my family business but my friend's family business. Tome to move forward Happily read more

If you're looking for great Indian food, go here. We came here about an hour before closing. My wife had the chicken kabob, and I had the butter chicken. We shared the rice and veggies samosa. The samosa was more than enough for both of us. It was just a serving of two samosas, but damn they were big! Everything tasted great, especially the butter chicken. Great service, great food, and mood. Nuff said. read more

The only reason I gave it a 1 star is because there is no lower option. This is by far the worst Indian food I have had in the Bay area. Food Safety is questionable. I ordered takeout today. Malai Kofta was stale, smelled like it was made days ago. Dal makhani was salty and a complete mockery of the actual dal makhani. Naans were dry and smelled bad. I had to throw away all the food. Waste of money and time. Would not recommend it to anyone. AVOID. read more

Came for the lunch buffet and this place was excellent. They had plenty of options to satisfy what I was craving. The service was quick and prompt by the man who mans the from and al the tables. It's the perfect lunch spot. I would definitely go here more. I never knew of this spot u til now. read more

The buffet was great. The price was pretty good for an AYCE meal. They brought naan right to the table and it was a generous serving for just two people. They had a variety of vegetarian options and fish/meat dishes too. I liked that they had chai on the side as well. It's a pretty small place but it was full even though I went for lunch in the middle of the week. I'm guessing that means I'm not the only one who thinks the food is amazing. I would definitely go again! read more

I was there on a Friday buffet lunch 1:15 pm. About 5 tables occupied but by no means busy. 1/3 of the food trays were empty or nearly empty. During my 40 minutes there, they came out twice and only to fill the trays meagerly. The rice had a burnt taste which rendered the other food bitter. The sauces were bland and my favorite buttered chicken was a no show. The fried fish was good but the 6 pieces they brought out, I got 3 pieces. Their buffet for $16 is not worth the sauces and nan. I rather pay more and get food which taste better and not look at empty trays. I won't come back soon when there are other choices. read more

Walked in on a weekday night 30 minutes before closing time to eat some chaat. Guy at the counter kept insisting we get a to-go when we wanted to dine in. Walked out without ordering. Don't understand why Indian places do this and keep trying to skimp on decent customer service. read more
