    South Indian Breakfast Combo

    Srivari is a newly opened pure vegetarian restaurant in Pleasanton, and what immediately catches your attention is its rather elaborate menu. From South Indian tiffins and thalis to tandoori starters, North Indian curries, biryanis and even Indianized pastas, there is plenty to choose from--perhaps a little too much for a single visit. The interiors are also nicely done with a premium, temple-inspired feel. Paintings of Indian monuments and traditional elements on the walls give the restaurant its own character instead of the usual functional Indian restaurant setup. We ordered the Tiffin Combo for our daughter. I personally like such combos because you get to taste multiple items and understand what is good, excellent or something you may order separately the next time. The quantity was sufficient enough for us to taste everything and also comfortably feed our daughter. Everything in the combo was good with no complaints, but what particularly stood out was the vada. It seemed freshly made, unlike the frozen and refried stuff which we unfortunately get at quite a few places these days. We started our meal with both the Classic Paneer Tikka and Badami Paneer Tikka. Both were very good, but completely different from each other. The classic version had a nice smoky taste, whereas the Badami Paneer Tikka was milder, creamier and slightly garlicky. That little hint of garlic nicely cut through the creaminess and prevented it from becoming too rich or monotonous. Their tandoori section is quite extensive as well, with multiple paneer tikka variations, kebabs and sizzlers. For the main course, we ordered the Malai Kofta, and the gravy was excellent. It was nicely laced with khada masala, with the elaichi flavour coming through beautifully. The koftas were soft yet toothsome and did not simply disappear into the gravy. But what really stole the show were the Indian breads. We ordered both the Garlic Naan and Bullet Naan, and trust me, I do not remember eating such nicely made and addictive naans in recent times. They were flaky and generously embedded with finely chopped garlic, coriander leaves and green chillies. The Bullet Naan was soft, slightly gooey and flavourful, whereas the Garlic Naan was peculiarly crunchy--the way a good garlic naan should actually be. Both are an absolute must-try. By this point we were so full that we could not try the Malabar Paneer Biryani, which sounded rather interesting, or their Indianized pasta. The menu includes preparations such as Malai Chilli, Green Chilli and Curry Leaf Pasta, which is certainly unusual enough to warrant another visit. Their thalis also seem to be quite popular, with separate North and South Indian options, so we have conveniently kept those for next time. Service was attentive throughout, and overall, Srivari turned out to be a very satisfying experience. The fresh vada, both versions of paneer tikka, the flavourful Malai Kofta and, above everything else, those excellent naans made the meal memorable. A welcome addition to Pleasanton's vegetarian dining scene.

    Wow! Every dish we tried was flavorful and delicious. All the ingredients were fresh and presented beautifully. The service was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive and the owner was friendly and welcoming. The space is beautifully decorated. The restaurant ambience is perfect for a special date night and family gathering. We can't wait to come back and try everything else on the menu!

I wouldn't expect traditional Mexican food coming here because it's definitely more of a Cal-Mex fusion! The presentation, ingredients, ways of preparing are different and I love that :) Asada Fries ($25): I enjoyed this much more than I expected, and I thought I would bring some home...I didn't. The ranch and BBQ sauce surprised me, but the flavor profile worked! Also loved the shape of the sidewinder fries, kind of like c-shaped wedges. Crispy Plantains ($14): I enjoyed these dipped in sour cream! It came with a lot, so I would for sure save some to eat with vanilla ice cream at home :) My friend got a side of black beans ($8) with it which she said was okay; I think she was thrown off by them being drowned in water lol Our server was lovely even as the evening got busier. I will be back to try their enchiladas and Mahi Mahi burrito!

They even split the meal onto two separate plates for us. The food was reasonable priced, around 20-25 per dish. However, a fountain soda was $5 and the fee to split the meal was $3, which we felt was a bit excessive. Otherwise it was a cute place to stop for a quick lunch!

    This is the most amazingly restaurant in Pleasanton…read more The food is so good. Tea leaf salad, garlic noodles, fried bananas. Everything is tasty, flavorful and made with such love. The drinks are top notch and unique. Their lavender martini is our favorite. But what makes Experience Burma so wonderful is Myat and Jordan, the owners, and the friendly staff. You are family when you come here. They have also been so kind and generous to the Pleasanton community with fundraising nights for the schools and community programs. Our Scouting Troop leaders have been having our holiday party here every year, and they close the place down for us and we take over the restaurant! Everyone, vegetarian and meat eaters alike love it. If you want amazing Burmese food come to Experience Burma and if you want to have a private party this is the place to go with great food and amazing drinks.

The service was great, our server was so attentive and helpful. The dishes he recommended were all great. We started with the salad and he suggested to us that we mix, lettuce and cabbage, which was honestly such a great combination. The platter and dip was so tasty, we also got sesame, chicken and pad thai. We told him that we wanted things a little bit spicier, and he had the kitchen and the perfect level of spice. Also the zero proof lavender martini, which I highly recommend. It is a little bit of the Gingery side though. The restaurant it's really cute inside, it's not super fancy, but it's enough to be a good date night.

We were seated in the very cute outdoor patio, there was plenty of shade so even though it was pretty warm out we were pretty comfortable. We shared the BBQ platter which was perfect for 3 meat eaters and my partner had the vegetarian mushroom pasta. The platter was great, the beef especially was perfectly medium rare and was tender thru every bite. The roasted vegetables included in the platter included Brussel sprouts and cauliflower which were also beautifully caramelized. My partner enjoyed her mushroom pasta, the ridges on the pasta absorbed every bit of the delicious white sauce. Happy to come back, I think the patio space makes it perfect for families of all ages. Looking forward to trying some cocktails next time.

We kicked things off with the Brussels sprouts and empanadas, and they disappeared so fast. Everything everyone ordered looked incredible. I had the carbonara, which was rich and creamy. For dessert, I went with the flan and it did not disappoint. We also ordered a round of tequila shots and some spicy mango margaritas. Fabian deserves an honorable mention for providing fantastic service while also being an absolute champ with all the comments my friend kept throwing his way. He handled the relentless flirting like a professional. Great food, great service, and an unforgettable night!

You can tell when someone truly cares about what they do, and it shows in every bite. The flavors were bold, perfectly balanced, and somehow even better than I imagined. It felt like every detail was done with passion and pride. And the person behind it all? Super kind, welcoming, and clearly talented. Watching someone put that much love into their cooking is rare these days. I walked in expecting a normal meal... and left completely blown away. If you ever get the chance to try their food, do it--you'll understand why I'm still talking about it!

The lox croissandwich was good, however, I asked for tomato because I needed an added flavor profile and the saltiness of the lox made me want more hydration in the bite. I usually don't like capers but today they were fine. Croissant was toasted nicely. Service: excellent. A pretty woman greeted us quickly and because it was such a beautiful day, she was coming out to bring our meals and drinks back and forth. She brought us our drinks. My drink was supposed to be with almond milk but I suspected it may have been regular milk. Although I disclose that I rarely order black sesame; it was very very sweet so I ended up not taking a chance and drinking it. My husband and daughter had vanilla lattes and lemonade with their breakfast bacon sandwich and salad. My daughter wanted to go there again today. (Posting a day later). The ambiance was very nice. I had never been to this downtown area. We were across the street from a really cute historic gas station. Great seating for people watching and enjoying the warming heat of summer on the patio. Really lovely experience at Bocado.

Was the perfect size too, didn't feel sluggish or too full after eating which sometimes happens when I eat at places that have massive ones. I also tried Andhra Garelu for the first time and it's now my new favorite Indian food. For those who aren't familiar, the best way I can describe it is a savory doughnut without any frosting or toppings (taste a lot like potato/french fries to me, but staff told me it was made with flour not potatoes).

The food was good overall, with a solid variety: chicken, mutton, and fish curries, biryani, several vegetarian dishes, mango lassi, sweets, curd rice, puri, vada, noodles, and hot tea. My personal favorites were the carrot halwa, mango lassi, and biryani. The only downside was how they handled the naan. Instead of having it at the buffet, they serve it directly to the table. With the rush, it was really hard to get any, we waited almost 20 minutes for our first (and only) basket. It would be much better if naan were available at the buffet or if they circulated it more frequently. On the plus side, they were quick about clearing plates. Prices are reasonable: $24.99 for adults and $11.99 for kids, with kids under five eating free.
