Delicious! Come to this place. The food is authentic and made quickly. The garlic nannnnn is so warm

We were driving to the South Bay and I was craving Indian. This place popped up and we gave it a go! I was hungry and the food was fabulous, so we didn't get pictures. I started with a mango lassi - loved it! We got samosa chaat to start. It was delicious! Lots of texture and flavor. We ordered palak paneer and butter chicken with rice and garlic naan. The palak paneer was seriously amazing! I could tell that they went the extra step of toasting the spices and then pouring the hot oil over the dish before serving. It was perfection! The garlic naan was some of the best I've had. The butter chicken was a little sweet for my taste, but my husband loved it. The staff was friendly and really happy to have us it seemed. The decor is pleasant. We were there at 2 pm and there was a steady stream of folks coming in. I hope that bodes well for their success!! read more

Easy find and parking. Small sit down service is nice. Had palak paneer and their special chicken curry, naan. Good food, quiet on a Saturday for lunch. Good and humble service read more

Awesome addition to the Indian scene in Milpitas. Food is authentic, tasty & without cream. The Chicken Sukka & Paneer chili starters were mouth watering. The Gravies - VB Special Goat curry, Malabar Fish curry, Chettinad Egg curry were all very tasty, rightly spiced & surprisingly different from each other(!!!). We had them with some luscious Kerala parottas. Cozy place with a train theme(Vande Bharat), service is fast & friendly. Reasonably priced. Must try. Ask for Vincent for recommendations. read more

I was expecting good quality food, but this was so greasy. The paneer tikka masala was more like kadhai paneer. The Kerala paratha was not crisp enough. The tandoori roti aata had no salt in it. They don't even serve onions or pickles with food. read more

Great addition to the neighborhood. We were pleasantly surprised by the comforting chapatis and gravies. The vibe is lovely - walls painted with nostalgic Indian railway themes, and a TV playing a journey on the Vande Bharat Express, the superfast train that connects several destinations across India. The menu is quite diverse. We ordered chapatis, curry leaf chicken, and vegetable Maggi. The chapatis were soft, hot, and truly home-like. The curry leaf chicken was flavorful without being overly spicy or overpowering. Our kid especially enjoyed the veg Maggi. We'd love to come back and try more dishes--hoping they continue to maintain the same taste and quality. read more

Today Sunday, I made a phone order I asked do you have goat roast biryani which I saw online in their website, a girl answered the call and she said we have it and I placed the order, when I went home and opened it's not roast it's regular gravy with some meat and was not cooked well and top covered with some rice and fried onion on top. If you don't have goat roasted biryani just say no,so we will order some other food it's totally a mess... read more

Came here with my little one on a weekday evening. The ambience and food of the place was homely, one extra star for how friendly the staff were with the baby. They interacted with the baby and made us comfortable, Which made us eat with peace They made spice level just right so that everything could be eaten by the little one read more

his place is inspired by the Vande Bharat Express, the flagship train that connects major cities across India. In a similar spirit, the restaurant takes you on a flavorful journey through India's diverse regional cuisines. While there's a clear tilt towards South Indian flavors, you'll also find North Indian staples like Punjabi dishes on the menu. The overall walk-in experience is decent, with thoughtful touches that reflect the Vande Bharat train theme. I really liked the aesthetics--brass idols, copper/brass plates, spoons, and glasses give it an authentic, earthy vibe. We ordered the thali, garlic naan, and paneer butter masala. The rotis and naans tasted freshly made, right off the tawa, which made a huge difference. The dal in the thali tasted genuinely home-style--like something mom would make. Loved it! Spice levels were perfectly balanced--not too mild for South Indian tastes and not too spicy for North Indian preferences. It hits the sweet spot. The lime soda is definitely a hit--refreshing and well-made. Overall, it seems like the dine-in experience is underrated. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

I was first introduced to South Indian food a year ago, and recently started my search for the area's best South Indian food, which is lighter (less cream) but with more distinct sharper and varied flavors. I already love the staples of idly/vada/pongal, and I wanted to look for more. Enter in Vande Bharat. They serve dishes from all regions of India, but I specifically tried more lighter/Southern dishes. I wanted flavorful dishes that weren't too heavy or creamy, and Vincent was so kind to introduce dishes based on my preferences. I ordered the Baingan masala (eggplant curry), butter chicken, whole fried fish, vegetable uttapam, and garlic naan. My favorite dish was the eggplant curry- flavorful, deliciously spicy but not unbearable; the butter chicken was delicious too- surprisingly light and packed with chicken; the fish was fresh, though the flavor/marinade doesn't really penetrate through the meat; uttapam was so fluffy and big- it is now my favorite South Indian carb. Everything tasted so authentic and homestyle, I can't wait to go again! read more

This is my go-to North Indian spot in Milpitas, this place never disappoints. The food is always flavorful, full of spices, and clearly made fresh. There are many vegetarian options. My all-time favorite is the paneer biryani. It's loaded with Indian spices, topped with peanuts and cooked onions, and it smells incredible. I also go for the kadai paneer, it's super spicy and probably my favorite paneer dish here. The staff is super friendly and always happy to recommend something new to try, which I appreciate. Prices are a little on the higher side. The place is clean, has a fun vibe with murals of Indian trains, and there's plenty of parking! read more

Vande Bharat is absolutely incredible! We got the combo lunch Thali. We love fish and we were offered multiple samples of special fish dishes to try. We also tried the goat biriyani. So flavorful and delicious! Can't wait to come back. read more

We were looking for a new Indian restaurant in the area, and decided to give this one a try. It did not disappoint! The train theme was charming, the service was amiable and professional, and the food was delicious. We ordered the combo thali, butter chicken, paneer 65, garlic naan, and goat bone soup. Unfortunately our stomaches are only so large, so we could not order other items to try, but that means we simply have to return here again soon! read more

Get the chicken chettinad! It's a curry our waiter recommended to us and it was so good. Paired with the kerala perata and the garlic naan. Fluffy soft and not too charred. The perata was masterfully flaky, doesn't seem frozen. The goat biryani was a great portion and will likely last two more meals at home. It comes with chips at the top hehe. They also have maggi on the menu which you never see around here!!!!!!!!!!!! Attentive and friendly service was what set this place apart the most! It's also priced very reasonably with much of the menu priced around $15 for entrees. Will be back with friends and fam. read more

Excellent food. The owner heard us talking in Bengali and gave us two different fish dishes to sample. Highly recommended.

Amazing food with authentic Indian flavors, we loved the kadai paneer, gobi machurian and masala chai! Will definitely return.

So far the best Indian food I have had in the SF Bay Area. The Chili Cilantro naan was bomb with my Palak Paneer. Coming here for round two soon read more

Excellent food and awesome service . I recommend the thali, I had the chicken thali and enjoyed it very much. read more

Lot of vegetarian options. Caters to everyone in a big group's needs as the menu is diverse with north indian curries, south indian dishes and chaat/snack items as well. Paneer Vijaywada Biryani had good spice and so did the veg chettinad. Paneer Tikka was ok. Breads were very good specially the garlic naan that had good garlic flavor. Giving 4-stars because, our food took a long time to come. Naan came 20 minutes before the curries came. Dosa came the earliest and then we waited around 30 min when breads arrived. read more

Vande Bharat - Thali - Indian Near Me - Milpitas, California

New place, been in business only a few weeks. Everything we ordered was made fresshh! Yeah that fresh. We had the : Masala Vada Chicken Manjurian (they spell it that way ) Goat curry Kerala Porotta, And Chai. Did I mention they make everything fresh to order? The masala vada was so fresh I felt I was in India. The goat meat was tender and had zero gameyness. The curry was flavorful without being overtly spicy which was appreciated. The Kerala porotta was yummy enough to eat by itself, but paired so good with the curry. The owner said they only make it on the weekends though. The chai was just right and hit the spot. The only dish that didn't excite or impress was the chicken manjurian appetizer,the owner did mention that they are working on improving the appetizers . Planning to go back next week to try the Biryanis and dosas. Jai Bharat! Vande Bharat! read more

We were in the area and decided to try this restaurant as reviews looked good. Except for one table the restaurant was empty. Ambiance was interesting, not upscale but they took effort to paint the walls with Indias Vande bharat train. Menu looked standard with thali, biryani, kebabs, South Indian tiffins and some chaat items. We got a veg thali, palak paneer, tandoori roti, samosas and a paneer biryani. Across the board, the food was decent. Nothing extraordinary but pretty standard for bayarea these days. The bitter gourd fritters which came as a part of the thali was the best item we had. Samosas are apparently made in house and were served piping hot. They were relatively small in size though. Palak paneer lacked salt and we had to request for some. I definitely appreciated their serve ware, steel and copper glasses and plates. They lined the plates with fresh banana leaves as well. We had placed an order for tandoori roti but were served regular roties instead. They realized later and asked if we wanted the tandoori roti as well and we said yes. We got charged for both though it was their fault for serving the wrong item. I was ok with that but the prices for the items we got charged was different from the menu prices. I normally don't look at the receipts but the discrepancies across several items caught my eye. I asked them about it and they said the menu was outdated. That was surprising as they opened recently, how can menu get outdated so quickly? So I went online to check their website prices and they are less than what we were charged as well. The people at the restaurant seemed decent and I am sure this was a genuine mistake but they need to be careful about such discrepancies especially in their early days. read more

I lived in southern India for a time and I have to say the food here was outstanding. You can't call the butter chicken butter chicken because it was actually a delicious well prepared dish. The dal was perfectly prepared. The naan was fresh to order and delicious. Service is friendly, and engaging. The yelp rating is well deserved. read more

Food is tasty as usual. But all food are spicier except the somasa chaat, not so suitable for kids. I tried the samosa chaat for the first time. I thought it is fried samosa with some chickpea on tops and the taste is normal curry flavor. But it is a tamarind flavor and good as an appetizer. The Malabar fish curry is too spicy and we couldn't finish it. Back home I added more coconut milk and potatoes/ meat to make it become curry puff. read more

I've been looking for an Indian restaurant close to home for a long time, and I found a gem! The inside is welcoming and clean, and the food was excellent. We got the Veg Kurma, chicken tikka masala, and baby corn Manchurian and each was fresh and tasty. Great flavor and good attentive service. I'll be back to try more options including their dosa and thali! Too hungry to take pics first. Sorry read more

I have tried most of the Indian restaurants in Milpitas except for this location. I've never been to this side of Milpitas either. The restaurant closes at 3 pm and opens up again at 5 pm. They take phone and online orders. The restaurant also has a private dining area for meetings or parties. It's a decent space for at least 30 people. The interior of the restaurant itself is aesthetically pleasing. Plenty of dining tables, not too crowded either. I don't recall if they offer buffet services. We got their butter chicken (no spice and medium spice), samosas, cheese naan and garlic naan, rice, samosa chaat, and aloo gobi. The samosa chaat and aloo gobi had the most spice compared to the medium butter chicken. The staff who gave our takeout order was nice and warned us to be careful with the takeout containers. Definitely worth trying out and dining in next time. read more

We came in here for lunch on Christmas, and I have to say, I am impressed. The service was great. One of the owners came and really guided us on what to order. Lots of good curries, like the VB chicken and Malabar fish curry. However the star was the Chicken Biryani! It was so good, it's definitely the reason why we will be coming back. read more

Great thali. We tried their combo thali which was very sumptuous and value for money. It came with small fish fry, chicken curry, goat curry, sambhar, rasam and a few other items. One order was enough for two people. Everything was delicious. Their fresh Malabar paratha was very good too. Chicken Manchurian and Goat biryani were ok. Owners are very friendly and welcoming. read more
