Looks like the serve yourself buffets are making a comeback! This place has the buffet every day for lunch and their GRAND dinner buffet on Friday/Saturday/Sundays. We tried a bit of everything, but the curries and little samosas were my favorite! Most of the dishes have a nice spice level, but it was so good, I couldn't stop eating no matter how much my mouth was on fire lol. Lunch Buffet $19.99 Dinner Buffet $24.99 The buffet included a variety of options: * Full Salad Bar * Hot Soup of the Day * (6) Signature Biryanis * (10) Vegetarian Entrees * (10) Non-Vegetarian Entrees * (4) Desserts If you don't want to do the buffet, they also have a regular menu where you can order specific dishes like regular dining. We were able to ask for Garlic Naan from the regular menu that the buffet didn't have and they made it fresh!

My boyfriend and I came here on a Friday evening for dinner. The restaurant was empt and we were seated right away. We both shared the garlic naan, chicken tikka masala and goat biryani. Both came out really quickly, and the portion sizes were extremely generous. The staff was also incredibly attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. The only caveat being the restaurant did not play music so it was a bit quiet; otherwise the food was delicious and I would definitely come again.

Chicken Manchurian & Chicken 65

Urban Grill Indian Cuisine is located off Lawrence Expressway in a plaza right across from the Wells Fargo. There are lots of parking in the lot. Newly renovated and repainted. APPS - Chicken Manchurian - Chicken 65 ENTREES - Andhra Chicken Curry - Gongura Goat Biryani - Garlic Naan The portions were surprisingly generous, and all the food was delicious. The spice level was well balanced; my mouth wasn't on fire, allowing me to enjoy every dish. We definitely had leftovers since we ordered quite a bit, but we wanted to have options and try a variety of items. My favs were the appetizers and the gongura goat biryani! The goat was tender and didn't have the gamey taste, which is a plus for me. The service was great! The waiter was very attentive and even helped me arrange the food items for photos. It seems they may have recently renovated the interior and possibly changed ownership, as they appear to be working on getting their name out there. There was a marketing coordinator present inside during our dine in. I truly enjoyed my first experience at Urban Grill and will definitely return to try more dishes. The lunch buffet is priced at $16.99, so I'm excited to check that out!

Awesome taste across the board. The biryani was absolutely the best I've had, and the mutton curry was rich, tender, and perfectly spiced. Definitely a buffet worth going back to. Service was quick to replace naan and clean up used plates.

Came here with a friend and it was quite empty on a Saturday Night. We sat towards the wall in these booths that made it feel like we had our own little section/room. I really enjoyed it, perfect for conversations! We ordered goat curry, chicken biryani, and garlic naan. We really underestimated how much food it was going to be! Everything was really good, the biryani had a really nice kick and a layer of chicken underneath the rice. Goat curry was flavorful but not greasy, which was really nice. The server was really nice and attentive, great staff!

Need more than one stomach to try all the items

Post the pandemic it seemed like buffets wouldn't make a comeback. And while that has not been true, most buffet places now are actually on the higher price point. Most places except this one. I mean how do you get so many choices, all freshly made, all flavorful, non greasy, with naan brought to the table made to order, and two desserts. Oh and chai.All for an unbelievable $14.99 plus tax! Guys I mean come on. Everything I tried was flavorful and distinct in taste. Indo Chinese items like chilly chicken, starters like Spinach pakoras were so good. Extra points for an ultra flavorful green chutney and thick yogurt sauce (raita). It would be hard to describe each item because there were so many, but the butter chicken, chicken biryani, methi aloo were all super delish. Unlimited Chai was nice, but the desserts itself weren't life changing. Although I appreciated that they had a not too sweet sevaiya kheer because I swear if I have to look at one more uninspired rice kheer bowl at Indian restaurants. The dining space and buffet stations were clean and well organized. And staff was replenishing the food non stop. Their location and good food probably keeps them busy, and the kitchen and staff seem to keep up with the demand. The restrooms need to be cleaner, but they have two so there's a good chance you will find atleast one that's clean. Management is doing something right with this place. Gotta go back and try the other items in the buffet soon!

Butter Chicken
Praveen S.

We saw pretty good reviews and decided to try it out. This is actually a place for parties. Ie. They have 3 separate halls of different sizes which can be booked for wedding/reception/birthdays. Idea is - you can get the food from this place. The main area for restaurant is open and large - with the ability to rearrange in any shape and form as needed. That is very cool idea. So highly recommended for such get togethers. The restaurant itself serves food to those who come just for dinner. (Owner said lunch buffet everyday has large variety and we will visit it soon to check it out) Actual food dishes we got : paneer capsicum and dal makhani was really good. Loved it. Chicken gravy was good but didn't fell like chicken pieces were cooked in it as flavors had not penetrated in chicken pieces. We asked for bread basket- one plain naan, one butter naan and one garlic naan. The naans were fresh but not soft. Almost like papad. Not a fan of it.

Came by for lunch 2/28 and checked the chicken. Guess what? IT WAS UNDERCOOKED - AGAIN. I can't even. Pointed it out the first time and was contacted by the owner due to this post. At this point, it's just incompetence to correct a very straightforward issue. I messaged the business about it being undercooked again and the owner wanted me to meet with his staff. I showed the piece as well as a second piece I picked up moments earlier with the same result. Nearly wordless, he takes my plate and I see him discussing things with two other people. We finished up and went to pay the check. The first time it happened, I paid full. The bill was charged for our party of 6 and this time, I just felt like as a business the owner had to have done something for this ridiculous issue - no, not a single accommodation for their screwup. I sarcastically referenced having been served undercooked chicken twice means nothing, but he doesn't understand what I meant. I message the same to the business and a message was relayed to discount our check 20%... but also had to pay a required 18% tip. Thank you sook much. Take my money. I'm not coming back and I will tell everyone why.

Savvy was an interesting choice for a cozy girls night in downtown!…read more What it "lacks" in the interior it definitely makes up for with the knowledge of its service staff. The interior is more dimly-lit, with large TVs and some comfy couches. This is an official spot to watch 49ers games so if you're a sports fan definitely note this one down. I liked that the service was helpful but not overbearing. Our waiter was able to recommend two different red wines for my friend and I really enjoyed the vinho verde I had. We ordered the charcuterie board to share between the two of us. This was a GREAT portion and came with a huge basket of sliced French bread. Perfect size to snack and graze on during the night. The bill came out to $53/pp incl. tax+tip for: 3 drinks total + 1 charcuterie board. It was definitely pricey in my opinion but I did really like my wine selection. Overall, great spot to hangout without a rushed vibe. Friendly service and easy eats.

I would definitely come back here

I've been a regular at Haberdasher in downtown SJ because I appreciate a classy ambiance with a…read morehistoric 1920s speakeasy twist, so when I say that The Wine Room is a sophisticated elevation of that, take note. I would say it feels like a tavern for wealthy noblemen in 1800s England. Allow me to say where it fell short for me, and then I'll sing my praises. The wine... tasted like wine. I don't have a particularly refined palate when it comes to that. The charcuterie board was a collection of expensive items that I am personally not into: miniature pickles (too sour), meat pâté (bland), and what I think were pickled red peppers. There was no cheese, which was highly disappointing; however, if that style of charcuterie suits you, go for it. The music did not match the ambiance at all. They really should play piano or smooth jazz, because the 2010s pop was honestly annoying. DESPITE ALL OF THIS, the crowd was the real pull. Everyone was either on a first date or was an interesting adult. This makes for fun people-watching and stimulating conversations. People were very willing to walk up and talk to strangers. I saw many people doing so, I felt welcome to do so, and people approached me to converse. So even though the food wasn't great, and the music was horrible, I will return funnily enough because the decor and the people were worth it.

In fact, many of the customers are locals. Bathroom - just one. Darn. Otherwise, it's clean & spacious.

I totally understand how they made the top 100 in the SF Chronicle list, it's so well deserved!…read more I have only heard golden reviews of goodtime bar through peers and thought it was a great time to finally check it out! I came here with a friend on a weekday for dinner and it was not packed at all. The atmosphere was very minimalist and clean, with a cute disco ball in the corner. This establishment requires you to order at the bar (makes sense it's a bar), and then they did you a number for the table so they can deliver your food. Any drinks you order they will make it right then and there for you to bring over. In terms of food, here is everything we ordered and my thoughts! *Deviled eggs: You would think since it's deviled eggs, there wouldn't be anything too special about them but I appreciated the small pops of salmon roe that added a nice textural play with the creamy eggs! * Bluefin tostada: Absolutely delicious with fresh tuna, paired with mango, on a crispy wonton chip. What a rich treat. * Arancini: The twist of fusion flavors was great. I love how the Japanese curry added a nice mix of umami, paired with the sharp creamy kimchi sauce. Definitely a favorite! * Pork belly: Pull apart, juicy, and tender! These paired actually really well with the arancini for a good balance of rice and meat. * Red miso crème brûlée: interesting sweet and salty flavor combination between the red miso and Madagascar vanilla. Not too overpowering tho. A lovely meal was had here!
