    Paneer Tikka Masala
    Adwait A.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Garlic naan, butter chicken, paneer 65

    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!

Surprisingly, he also returned with band-aids, alcohol strips, and gauze. I was truly impressed by this kind and thoughtful gesture, and I wanted to share it here as a different but very positive experience.

It's just a little cold in there for some reason. We started with a watermelon spritz and the inji-puli lotus appetizer since we'd never tried anything like that, and it was very yummy and had such a nice crispy but soft texture. It was also a good portion for all four of us. We got the goat curry and the chettinad spice vegetables, and a few parathas to share. We were afraid it wouldn't be enough but the parathas are actually very filling, and also have a really great texture of both crispy and soft, and delicious flavor. The curries were good, could have used a bit more salt but good spice. The stars of the show were the desserts - this deserves its own section because omg I'm still thinking about the desserts!!! We got the gulab jamun brûlée - an amazingly well done take on creme brûlée with a perfect top, easy to crack and beautifully flavored. The filling was amazing and sweet and so so yummy. They also were kind enough to give us a complimentary chocolate cake which was absolutely amazing. I'm generally not too impressed by chocolate but the quality of this cake was phenomenal with perfect sweetness and richness. I need these two again !! Definitely recommend coming here for an occasion.

    Wow. I've never been to an Indian restaurant this posh before -- the moment I walked in I was like,…read more"woah." The space is absolutely beautiful, which explains why reservations are so hard to come by. I somehow snagged a last-minute outdoor reservation for four, but three more people joined us at the last minute. When we arrived, I asked a gentleman who looked like the manager if we could move indoors because it was cold. Even though they were very busy, he found us indoor seats in a perfect spot -- we definitely got lucky. We were a party of seven, half of us vegetarian. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, and everything was great, but the vegetable biryani stole the show for me. I don't come from India, so take this from a non-native -- it was hands down the best veggie biryani I've ever had. The flavors were incredible, and it came with raita and a chutney that paired perfectly. I kept thinking about it even after trying everything else. Other highlights: the gunpowder idli was mind-blowing, and the lotus root appetizer (my first time trying lotus root) was a delightful surprise -- great texture and flavor. The dosa was soft and exactly how I like it (I'm not into crispy dosa), and the paratha with the vegetable curry was delicious too. The meat dishes my friends ordered got rave reviews from them as well, but I was still daydreaming about that biryani. Service was excellent -- the staff were kind, patient, and especially attentive to the kids in our party. When the restaurant is busy there can be a wait for food, but trust me: every bite is worth the wait. Highly recommend Anantara if you want a beautiful dining experience with outstanding food.

We ordered an Achari chaap ( soya protein) and a Rumali roti for my husband. For myself I got their tandoori chicken which came with 2 drumsticks and two thighs. The chicken itself was juicy and definitely well marinated. The achari chaap was a bit tangy for my husband's liking but had great taste and flavor if you ask me. The Rumali roti was soft and fresh. We also had chai which was creamy and hot! Food came out quite fast even though they had said it would take 15 mins.

We were instead offered chole kulche, and since we didn't have many late-night options, we agreed. We were told the order would be ready in 15-20 minutes, but when we arrived, the food already felt cold, like it had been sitting out for a while. It got worse when we reached home--the kulchas were burnt, making the meal quite unpleasant. After a long day of travel, this was the last thing we expected. We were too tired to go back, but honestly, this was not acceptable. If you're advertising late hours, the quality and availability should match. This experience was really disappointing.
