Ambience: Think sports bar meets global kitchen--TV screens everywhere playing cricket, baseball, and NFL/NBA games depending on the season. It's casual, lively, and a good spot if you like your food with a side of live sports. A couple of solid beers are available on tap for those who want to pair the game with a drink. Service: Ordering is counter-style--you place your order, get a number, and your food is either brought to your table or you might have to pick it up yourself. It's simple and efficient, but not a full-service setup. Food: Urban Kitchen thrives on fusion. The menu revolves around three base curries, and from there, it's a choose-your-own-adventure: * Wrap the protein and curry in a tortilla with cheese and Indian spices for a quesadilla * Swap for small tortillas to make tacos * Add saffron basmati rice and roll it up for a burrito * Put it on bread with cheese for an Indian-fusion pizza * Or sandwich it in a bun for a burger There's even a Chinese-inspired section built on similar fusion principles. The real gem here is the soya chaap--whether you go for malai or spicy curry, it's some of the best around, especially with rumali roti. Overall: This is my go-to spot for a once-a-month DoorDash treat. Expect creativity, hearty flavors, and a menu that blends India, Mexico, and beyond into something uniquely satisfying. read more

Food - as a vegetarian I had almost no choice other than paneer! There is no concept of veggies. I had soy chaap- which was as good as it can be- about 3 stars. Rumali roti was awesome- for food I will give 3stars. Service- there was no service concept- you order food at counter and food is given in disposable containers. Ambience- small room with clean but non expensive furniture. It is not inviting or a place where you can sit for hours ! Loud panjabi music playing! Tops 2.5 stars. Value - this is where I struggled the most. We had 1 paneer burrito and 1 soya chaap that was served in disposable containers and that costed over 40$. I would get better value at many other Indian restaurants in Fremont for that price and some places on peninsula as well! For the limited choice and lack of value, I don't see myself going there again. read more

3.5 stars Urban Kitchen has a casual, sports bar vibe with multiple TV screens and beer on tap. Their menu, however, featured a surprising selection of creative Indian fusion dishes! From their Specials menu section, I tried the Chicken Kebab Plate, which came with spiced chicken grilled to juicy perfection with peppers and onions, and served with a simple salad (lettuce, tomatoes, chickpeas), mint cilantro, and a chewy garlic naan on the side. I also had their Curry Plate, which came with a bowl of tikka masala with paneer, along with salad and garlic naan on the side. Disappointingly, the curry was nothing more than a thick tomato soup with barely a hint of spice. This would definitely not be the place to come for authentic Indian eats, but perhaps some of their more creative menu options would have been more memorable. The service was also surprisingly slow for a simple counter-service restaurant. read more

Stay away from this place. It's not the same Urban Kitchen as it used to be after relocating. The food quality has gone down the drain. The burger buns are some cheap ones from Walmart . My wife ordered a noodle burger and she got food poisoning afterwards. The burger was soggy and cold and she only took a few bites. Rest of the food we ordered, family of 8, everything was cold and lacked any flavor. Sad to say we spent close to $200 here. read more

The food is always on point! They have a bunch of "Indian fusion" items and they are all very flavourful! The drinks are strong and delicious! The motichoor dessert was excellent! The servers are always nice and friendly and help choosing the right dish :) there's tons of parking outside and have huge tvs playing all kinds of games for the Sports Bar feels :) read more

My family and I have been meaning to try this place and we are so happy we got the chance to eat here! It was a really cool sports bar vibe with some interesting hip hop Bollywood or South Asian type music (not really sure, but it was really cool). We ended up ordering: -Chicken Quesadilla which was so delicious! They were juicy pieces of chicken, spicy jalapeños, onions, and served with a creamy sauce. This is actually exactly how I like to make these at home, but these were better than what I usually make. The only thing I would want to change would be to make the sauce spicier. -Butter Chicken Sliders was better than we expected! We expected it to be good, but it was even better! It was juicy, crispy, and the perfect balance of butter chicken sauce to bun ratio. -Chicken Finger Kids meal was a regular kids meal, nothing special, but it came with a really big portion of chicken and fries which was awesome! We really loved this place and it also served alcohol which made it even better! read more

Food and service were super good! Portions are definitely small though. Butter chicken with naan-4/5 more tomato-y than im used to, but still good! I wish there was more naan so i could dip it in the sauce. Tandoori soya chaap -5/5 delicious! It has a creamy, nutty flavor and the texture was really nice. It has a small kick which is barely noticeable but nice. read more

TLDR : Great concept, nice fusion food options and drink selections, good taste and ambiance Tried the Urban Kitchen and as it came highly recommended by friends. Really loved their take at a bar setting combing the Indian food and beverage offerings. We had tried the soya chaaps earlier and really one of my favorites in the bay. This time we tried their Kulchas and Noodle Burgers. The kulchas were good - not the best I've had and chola could've been more spicy and flavorful. The noodle burgers - veggie and chicken were good. Nice combination which we were skeptical off but turned out nice. read more

Thought this place was okay. Got the butter chicken sliders and the spicy chicken quesadilla. I get sliders are suppose to be small, but I think it should have been an order of 3 sliders instead of 2. It was decent, but could have used way more sauce. Nothing exciting to write home about otherwise. The chicken quesadilla was kind of bland. Could use way more spices. Overall, I get that this is a fusion place, but I would go somewhere else for my Indian food for more flavor and spice. read more

Their chaaps are amazing. I have tried almost all of their chaaps and must say they are soft, tender and juicy. Cant say much about service and ambience as i have only ordered takeout. read more

Very yummy Indian fusion food. Tried the Manchurian burger, the grill sandwich and the naan-pizza. Cozy spot.

love this place but don't like their new location.. they keep it very dirty and it's smaller and no light !

This place is perfect for when you want to eat North Indian food but don't want to sit down at a traditional restaurant sort of setting. It's a very hip place which serves mainly a variety of Punjabi cuisine fusions. The music inside the establishment plays lots of great Punjabi artists like the late legend Sidhu Moosewala & plays sports channels with a bar, a few booths and tables like a BWW so it's a fun vibe. Parking is spacious too and is shared in the plaza that the Safeway is in. My boyfriend and I have come here multiple times this month and I have gotten the Samosa Poutine with Paneer each time which is the perfect amount of spicy (I'd say medium level) and he gets the Dahi Papadi Chaat which is cooling because of the yogurt. I also like to get the Mango Hazy IPA on top to wash this down with. We always feel adequately full after we eat and for an appetizer it's a pretty decent portion for when I have chaat cravings. It's reasonably priced, good food at a great hangout spot that's open til late night and I highly recommend this place to anyone in the East Bay Area! read more

Urban Kitchen - Spicy Paneer Quesadilla - Indian Near Me - Newark, California

Surprisingly not a lot of people know about this gem. One of the very few restaurants in the bay area who offer good Indian fusion options. The menu is really interesting and there are so many different things to try here. We loved Soya Chaaps, Sliders and tacos here. The food is tasty and the serving size is good too. The best thing about this place is that they are open till late so it is a good option to grab a bite after an evening movie show or other hangouts. Service is pretty quick. They also have beers on tap by the way. read more

Ordered the veggie aloo tikki burger, badam milk, Tandoori Soya Chaap & Rumali Roti -- all were excellent! It was my first time trying chaap, and I highly recommend it! The burger was super flavorful and perfectly made. I thought it came with fries, but that was my mistake. The badam milk was freshly made in small batches, sealed and labeled, with real almond bits. It had a natural taste and just the right amount of sweetness--not overly sugary like the commercial ones. Looking forward to trying more from their menu. read more

This place is way too stingy. Their paneer and chicken wraps have maybe one or two pieces of chicken/paneer and the rest is onions. You might as well put onions in a tortilla and eat that for lunch. Maybe the other items are better, but I am very disappointed by the lack of quality in the wraps. Would not come here again. read more

Would not recommend at all. Very disappointing. I didn't visit the original Urban Kitchen before it was moved to this location, but I hope it was much better than the terrible experience I received here. - Very hot and uncomfortable inside (no A/C running) - dirty floors and tables - no bathroom for customers, so you can't wash your hands before you eat. There is a non working sink on the side of the eating area which is pointless. - no-one at the front to take your order. The two employees seemed to prefer being hidden in the back away from the customer and front counter. - We had a simple order. The food took over 30 minutes to arrive. Even the other group of customers who ordered just after us (which was a simple chicken burger) ended up waiting for more than 30 minutes too. - Bad customer service and attitude. Asked for water - didn't get any with my order. Went up to the counter and waited - no one came to attend. Rang the bell and one employee came forward (very reluctantly) and I explained I would like some water. I was expecting him to come back with it, but no. The other employee then came back out and I had to repeat what I wanted, which was the thing he forgot in the first place. The look on his face was one of great irritation like I was the one troubling him. - The value for money is terrible. Prices are way too high for the tiny amount of food you receive. - Quality of food is awful. The chicken they put in the burger is too thin. It's not even cooked very well. The butter chicken sauce tastes cheap. The same can be said for most of the other ingredients and dishes. It all seems poor quality, overpriced and not cooked very well. AVOID. Your money and time is better spent elsewhere. read more

Got takeout from here on a rainy Friday night and was really impressed. We tried the Amritsari Masala Soya Chaap Curry ($18, amazing texture and good flavor), the Paneer Tikka Masala Taco ($14.50, great), and the Aloo Tikki Burger ($13, good). Planning on returning soon to sample more of the many options they have, hopefully dining in next time. read more

Mmmkay, I'm not sure what happened! The new menu showed new additions like tandoori broccoli and grilled stuffed mushrooms, so I drove my foodie self all the way to Newark only to find that the mushrooms were not grilled and there was nothing tandoori about the broccoli. Why? :( - tandoori broccoli : 1/5, ton of food color (yellow fingers, and no this isn't haldi), salt and no tandoori flavors. Just skip. - stuffed mushroom : 1/5, stuffed with potato. No grill, just cooked on a skillet. No flavor. Skip. - manchurian burger : 4/5, pretty wholesome. The only thing good in my order! Overall I am just praying it was an off-day. I love this place but today was just a waste of money. T_T read more

Back after a while and I asked what kind of chicken is in the regular quesadilla and the kids chicken quesedilla. She said "tandoori chicken". Came out with plain chicken and cheese and was told by the cashier "sorry I didn't know". No refund or replacement offered. Poor customer service. Mango lassi is made with pulp and they don't use enough pulp. But Paneer panini was really good. read more

Atmosphere is casual sports bar. They have variety of beers and multiple tv screens for watching the games. Food is indian fusion with a large variety of choices for vegetarians and non vegetarian. We ordered the chole taco. A little too spicy. Loaded fries were good would definitely order again. Fish grilled version was good. But the best dish was the fish slider. The chicken slider was a little bit dry. Would definitely come here again and bring friends so you can try a variety of things read more

Will go back only for the Motichoor Rabri, it was that good! This place has an amazing new take on Indian food which is worth checking out.

Definitely worth visiting once. read more

This sudden cold weather had me craving some chai and chaat (Indian street food), and a quick Yelp search brought us here. We ordered the aloo tikki, samosas and chicken Kathi roll. Hubs loved the tikkis but the samosas and the Kathi roll had all my attention. A large flat bread layered with an omelet and generously filled with delectable chicken! Think Indian style chicken burrito. This paired with their very fresh and spicy green chutney was seriously one of the better Kathi rolls I've tasted outside of India! Samosas were delish, heavy on ginger and spices and the pastry was light and flaky, they were perfect with chai( which was also very nice). Special mention of the chutneys, both the sweet and spicy chutneys were amazing. Service was friendly and the place itself had a nice vibe. Restrooms were clean and well appointed. read more

+Huge parking lot, on the other side from Safeway. +Spacious indoor dining, many tables with large flat screen tv's mostly on sports channel. Decided to take my chance w/a local Indian spot, there's quite a bit of mixed reviews so didn't know what to expect. The paper menu price or calling in your order is definitely the way to go. Any other app, expect $2-3 upcharge per item; I compared 3 items and it's all marked at a premium on Grubhub. Shouldn't be surprising but if you got a large order or ordering multiple items, that all adds up + any delivery fee + tips, etc. Got the lamb kathi roll which was humongous and very large pieces of meat. Followed my instructions and added egg, which did not cost extra $0.50 or $1. Very flavorful with the spices! However, with the special cream chicken entree, it is quite a heavy dish so ordering carbs or some veggie side would probably help. It's definitely too much for one person sitting. The minus 1 star is that the chicken was rubbery and pretty much dependent on the sauce to cover that. Will want to come back and try other items though. read more

This was my first visit here. Stopped by with a few friends. I ordered Tandoori soya chaap, paneer Kathi roll, paneer chaat salad, and street slider trio. I think the Paneer Kathi roll was pretty decent. The wrap was very fresh and crispy at times, the filling was rich with paneer and eggs. I'd surely recommend this if you haven't been here before. It's quite big and filling as well. I liked the value for money for the slider trio. It has one each of aloo tikki, samosa, and paneer pakora slider. I paid extra for a side of soda and masala fries. I really enjoyed the aloo tikki and samosa slider. They were warm, crispy, and very flavorful. The slider buns were nicely warm too. The paneer one wasn't as crispy but the flavor was to the point. I think this is quite a meal for one person. I was a bit disappointed with the soya chaap. It seemed more like a curry than a chaap. I'd have preferred lesser curry if I had known earlier. The chaap seemed to be low on flavor and most of the flavor seemed to come from the curry. Also, there is some disagreement between the printed menu and the digital menu on display, the varieties of chaap is more on the digital one than the printed one. The paneer chaat salad is exactly what it sounds like. It has the paneer from Kathi roll, chana masala from other stuff, and some lettuce with chutneys and all. I think it should rather be just called chaat because the salad part is just a few lettuce pieces. Though I should appreciate the generous amount of chickpea and paneer, I also wanted some generous potion of lettuce. I took this one home to add some more lettuce and spinach and have it for lunch the next day. They have a lot of variety of Indian street food. And hence most of the ingredients are used in more than one dish. Hence the flavors might not be 100% per one dish but still pretty decent. I'd surely recommend this place and visit again. read more

Came by here for the first time. I've always wanted to try it and it has some decent reviews. I orrdwees the butter chicken and chicken shawarma wrap. Over all, 7.5 out of 10. Wasn't a big fan of the shawarma wrap as the pita tasted a bit off to me. The butter chicken was decent but had a bit more of a tomatoey taste for me. The beer on tap is excellent. They have local and international beers. I'll definitely be coming back to taste some of those. Customer service was great by the front register. Furthermore, the interior has a modern feel and they have TVs around the entire restaurant. Might be nice to catch a game here soon. I miss the old Taco Bell location also, brought back some good memories. read more
