Good spot for barbecue with Indian flavors. My friend and I came Friday night around 7 pm, and when placing our order, the guy told us that they were severely backed up and that it'd take an hour for us to get any food. We decided to wait it out as we weren't super hungry and didn't mind the wait. Also, they were already out of chicken tikka and lamb seek kabobs, which is unfortunate because I was planning to order both. We ordered: Chole bhature ($16) Grilled chicken legs ($8) Grilled lamb chops ($9) The way it works here is you order first and get a number, then you find a spot to sit. They have plenty of outdoor seating as well as some tables indoors as well. We were prepared to wait a while to get our food, but surprisingly, we got the chole bhature after 20 minutes and the grilled meats after another 5 minutes. The chole bhature wasn't that good tbh. The bhature was fried well, but the chole was a bit sweet which we found incredibly weird. I enjoyed both the chicken and the lamb, but the chicken was definitely my favorite as parts of the lamb were a bit overdone and dry. I also felt like prices were a bit high for the amount of meat you get. I thought this place was good but I like Keeku ka Dhaba in Fremont more for Indian grilled meats.

Combo Plate with 2 Chicken skewers and garlic naan
Lauren N.

So glad we tried this place! We saw the freshly grilled meat skewers outside and were immediately intrigued. They have a bunch of picnic tables outside to eat at and the space is shared with a pizza spot next door. They have complimentary chai tea, which was delicious. It already had some milk and sugar in it. Service was very welcoming and helpful. Here's what we ordered: 2 skewer combo plate with chicken: Chicken skewers were very tender and juicy! Loved the curry sauce to dip the chicken and naan in. Lamb chop: I'm not a lamb fan, but my husband said it was nicely cooked and made fresh. He'd want to try the lamb skewer next time! Garlic naan: Pretty good! Not the best I've had but pretty standard. Wish it was more light and fluffy. Masala fries: I appreciated how these were homemade and piping hot, but I wish they were crispy. The seasoning was also very light. Wouldn't get again. Mango lassi: Delicious!

Masala Mac N Cheese

Sooooooo good!!!! Came here Saturday early evening and at first was confused about the ordering situation. This outdoor, window order location is right next to a pizza spot and had a 4 covered tables that can seat up to 6 or 8. I was worried I'd be cold but it's covered and not unbearable. Free water and chai, which was the perfect sweetness but they provide sugar for you to add if you want it. Now to the food ... the skewers ARE SO DANG GOOD! Grilled to order, we got the 2 skewer combo with chicken tikka and lamb seekh. Both were delicious, but the chicken was our favorite. SO juicy and tender. The WJW sauce was good, though nothing to rave about. The garlic naan was also good. We also ordered the Masala Mac, which, I was very excited to try and it is definitely something to get at least once. Though, if I'm being honest, I wouldn't order again unless I was in the mood for it. The aloo tikki chaat was also delicious and something I would order again. If you decide to eat there, be prepared to smell like BBQ! lol we sat at the second to last table and my hair and clothes ended up smelling like charcoal/smoke. That's on me though - I should've known! The skewers are the star - you won't be disappointed trying any of them! Definitely check this place out.

Canopied seating alongside right side of building.

Wah Jee Wah can be located on block next to Mexico Super, next to Rayo's Pizza. A grill area is next to a canopied dining area. Additional dining at lounge inside building, also @right alongside of building. Offerings (upscale Indian BBQ): appetizers, combo plates, main dishes, skewers, drinks, sides. Chef Rounak Dumra sometimes has a special menu available. Order near grill area. Food ready in 15ish minutes. Self serve masala chai. Bites: 2 skewer combo (26), garlic naan (+1) -comped masala chai perfecto. -jumbo shrimps, lamb chops previously marinated. Slowly grilled, probably twice. Smoky, tender, juicy. Not overcharred. WJW sauce tomato based with special ingredients & medium spicy kick so addicting! Mild green salsa too. -fluffy white basmatic rice flavor neutral to allow skewer meats to breathe flavas. -garlic naan very aromatic with fragrant garlicness. 5 stars!

This place was a bit disappointing on our third attempt. The masala Mac and cheese just tasted like regular Mac n cheese. If I didn't know it was supposed to taste like masala I wouldn't have known the difference. Wasn't creamy/saucy underneath the hardened dried cheese this time. The lamb kabob was dry too. Chicken was juicy though. The place is a little overpriced for what you get imo.

2 skewer combo

I found this place through a friend of a friend. My boyfriend enjoyed it so much we got it two days in a row. We over ordered for 4 people. 1/2 big boy platter comes with 6 skewers/ meat options. This is great for groups. The meat was yummy. The lamb chop was my favorite. My friend loves their chole masala. If you like chickpeas this is a good option for you. We also got the masala Mac. The flavor is subtle. The mango lassi was delicious. The second time we came, my boyfriend and I both ordered a 2 skewer combo as well as a chole masala. The leftovers made a delious dinner.

Chicken leg tikka
Pallavi P.

Order ALL your food at once, and carry some salt from home ... You wonder why? Read on ... We had loved this place for their food and courteous service the last few times we went, but last night was a different story. We went here with guests and had a disappointing experience. As we were placing our order, we were informed that the wait would at least be 45 min to an hour. Oh well .. good grilled kebabs take time, so we settled in for the wait. We ordered methi mutter malai, daal makhani, butter chicken, lamb kebabs, chicken leg kebab, paneer tikka kebab, rice, garlic naan and butter naan and a mango lassi. When our food came, they had swapped out the paneer tikka kebab for chicken leg kebab without informing us, and when we checked, we were informed that they had run out of paneer tikka. Okay, but at least inform us in advance! Next, we tasted the daal makhani, butter chicken and methi mutter malai and found that all three dishes needed salt for our palate. When we asked the person who was taking orders for salt, we were told that they use black salt - we were like fine, give us black salt. At which he proceeded to inform us that he legally couldn't give us salt since it was not packaged. Huh ?!? Where did this come from? Fortunately, the pizzeria next door was kind enough to give us some salt else we would have been unable to eat the dishes. Oh well. As we were eating, we realized we needed 1 more naan - when we went to order it, the same person informed us that the extra naan would take an hour because they had many online orders. This was the last straw! We gave up. Clearly, they didn't care to serve their dine-in patrons. Oh well! As for the food, the kebabs were stellar. The methi mutter malai was sourish and I wouldn't order it again. Given the lack of salt, I wouldn't recommend the daal makhani or the butter chicken which, even after adding salt were just about okay. Needless to say, we all left disappointed by the callous attitude. Sad to say that I will think twice before I revisit this place.

First time at Wah Jee Wah. There was a wait to order, but that's a good sign. They have an open charcoal grill where they cook the meats. I ordered the 2 plate combo with chicken and lamb, the Golgappe, and chole bhature. The Chile Bhature was my favorite!!! The chicken was so soft and juicy. Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Hayward. The restroom is shared with the pizza restaurant. Not much parking unfortunately. The staff is really nice! Seating is mostly outdoors.

chicken tikka & lamb seek kebabs
Rachel L.

i first tried their chicken tikka at a yelp event and immediately wanted to visit the main location. the first thing that hit was the smell of bbq-ed meats -- so enticing!! picnic tables are first-come first-serve, communal, and giving outdoor bbq vibes. service was friendly and ambiance was very chill. the goods: - chicken tikka kebab (10/10 ): perfectly grilled, juicy, flavorful, delicious. comes with some sort of green, herb sauce (similar to chimichurri) and picked onions. - lamb seek kebab (7/10): not bad but nothing spectacular either. the gamey flavor of lamb was well balanced with the slices, but overall just not as satisfying as a succulent piece of bbq chicken. - masala mac (6/10): interesting concept but could have had more masala flavor in the roux or just throughout. also it was a bit oily so as an appetizer, it felt a bit too heavy. noodles were cooked perfectly though and the cheese on top had great charred bits. it's ok but probably wouldn't get it again.

Tried out WJW Sun 11/24/24 for the first time. It's next to Rayo's Pizza and Mexico Super Market, Hayward, across from Chapel of the Chimes. Stand next to the menu and lady helped us explaining the menu and took our order. We got: Chicken tikka kabob $9 Lamb seek kabob $9 Marsala Mac & cheese $10 Garlic naan $4 Dal makhani $14 Mango lassi $5 Chicken was 4 small piece very tasty, not dry. Lamb was just 1 long kabob we shared it. Tasty. Marsala Mac & cheese was meh too me, not enough flavor and just mushy. Garlic naan was 4 pieces - liked it fine. Mango lassi was yummy! Free Marsala chai and water if u want it, help yourself. Husband charged it. Bathrooms - inside Rayo's Pizza on the left, separate men & women's. Women just 1 toilet & sink. Loud DJ out by pizza place. All outdoor dining for WJW so I can be cold and loud from music and road noise from busy Mission Blvd. I would go back & do take-out instead. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCxr8Divcau/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Ahhh I'm a fan! I'm a whore for grilled meats, I don't eat pork or beef. I feel like This spot was made for me! It is all halal, and lamb is the only red meat they serve (yes!) Everything was hot and fresh, the meats are marinated and grilled to perfection. The staff are so nice and accommodating. My toddler had not eaten very much, so the staff delighted him with his first mango Lassee, he loved it. If you enjoy tandoori, you will absolutely love WJW!

Open tandoor
Shreya S.

Oh my god, this place has been on my list for so long (years) and I finally got to try it! Very few places in the bay area has decent Indian tandoor stuff, this definitely lived up to the hype. The setting is casual, with tandoor setting in the outdoor, with some outdoor seatings and some indoor seating as well. Ordered half big boy platter (6 skewers of our choice) and went with: lamb chops, chicken tikka, chicken leg, paneer, shrimp. really liked the lamb chops and chicken tikka and leg, it was juicy and fresh (not rubber-y like many other places). I would probably skip the shrimp next time. Service was not too bad - the food was cooked right in front of us, and took probably 20 mins. Would come back here, for sure!

Combo plate with Chicken Tika kabob and lamb seek kabob
Larry L.

Finally made it to Wah Jee Wah on a Friday evening. Really tasty food! My favorite was the chicken leg - wonderfully seasoned and very moist. We also tried the lamb seek and the chicken tikka kabob, which were also tasty but a little dry. A surprise delight was the masala Mac, which was nice and cheesy with masala seasoning. The WJW sauce went well with the garlic naan and rice, and the chutney was a nice complement to the lamb seek. The restaurant has a unique setup. The grilling is done outdoors on the left side of the building. There is a pizza joint in the center of the building, and then you order food at a counter in the right side of the building. There's a lot of outdoor seating, and limited indoor seating in the room with the counter. A server brings your order to you at your table. There's a private parking lot in front. It was a beautiful day in the East Bay, so the weather was perfect for outdoor dining, but it's annoying to have to keep swatting away the flies. The restaurant's beer tap was out of order, so the only drink options were soft drinks and complimentary water and chai. The restaurant accepted credit cards and Apple Pay. $26 for a combo plate seems a little pricey, but the servings are large and I suppose grilled meats are usually expensive. We had a wonderful meal (except for the flies!) and plan to be back.

Incredible new Indian discovery for me!…read more I was headed to Kiya Sushi next-door, but the incredible smells wafting through the open door here pulled me inside. We are very lucky to have so many Indian restaurants in Fremont, especially with those that specialize in different regional cuisines. I ordered the Apollo fish, special chicken curry, vegetable korma, rice, and garlic naan. I also had a mango lassi (and then a chai to go for later). Everything was impressive. I actually said, "Wow!" out loud when I tasted the chicken curry, even though I was dining solo. I can't wait to come back to try fish and goat curries and biriyani. Will have to bring friends so that we can order more dishes.

I have walked by this plaza many times, and every single time, I was met with an incredible,…read morehard-to-miss fragrance coming from Naga's Kitchen. I always told myself that if a place smells this good, the food had to be amazing too. I am so glad I finally tried it, because the food wasn't just good, it was great! I will definitely be coming back. Here is a breakdown of everything we ordered during our visit: Appetizers Chicken Lollipop (Dry): Flavorful, well-cooked, and wonderfully moist. Best of all, it had more meat and less batter than most other places, paired with a delicious dipping sauce. It has a slight, pleasant heat without burning your tongue, which is great for focusing on pure flavor. Naga's Special Apollo Fish: This was the absolute standout of the meal! It was packed with incredible flavor, featuring a fantastic mix of yogurt, curry leaves, and green chillies that hit the perfect balance of tangy, cool, and spicy. Main Entrée & Breads Butter Chicken: A wonderful, harmonious blend of sweetness and spice, leaning slightly on the sweeter side. It paired like a dream with our garlic naan. (Tip: If you prefer more heat, you can always check with the staff about customization!) Garlic Naan: Soft, perfectly cooked, and completely free of that dreaded rubbery texture. It had a generous amount of garlic, a slight crunch, and was the ideal vehicle for the butter chicken. Drinks Fresh Lime Soda (Sweet): Refreshing and crisp. You can choose between salty or sweet, and we went with sweet. Pro-tip: Make sure to stir it thoroughly before drinking, as the sweetness settles at the bottom! Service, Ambience & Practical Details Service & Ambience: There are plenty of tables, though it can get busy during peak hours. Even when crowded, the staff is exceptionally quick, attentive, and prompt with their service. Parking: The complex has plenty of parking spots, though it can get challenging on busy days, and some spots are a bit narrow. Keep in mind that the spots directly in front of the restaurant are mostly 10 to 30 minute parking zones, so it is best to park a little further back in the lot. Final Fun Note: Because the restaurant has such a wonderfully strong food aroma, be prepared to leave smelling deliciously like your meal! It is a small price to pay for such fantastic food and service. Highly recommended!

Great food, generous portions, and a hidden gem amidst the roadwork!…read more I've actually been here before, but the first time around I was so hungry I forgot to take any pictures! This time, my camera ate before I did, ha! Here is a breakdown of what we ordered on this visit: 1. Steamed Chicken Momo: These were perfectly moist with an adequate, well-seasoned filling. Plus, their signature orange sauce never disappoints! 2. Mixed Fried Rice: This came loaded with eggs, chicken, and veggies. Unlike some places where the veggies feel like an afterthought, these tasted fresh. The portion size was great, flavorful and more than enough for two people. 3. Chicken Sizzler: There is nothing like hearing that loud sizzling sound when food is brought to your table! I initially expected it to come with fries and veggies, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it served on top of a huge bed of noodles. It was incredibly tasty. My only minor critique is that the menu just lists the name of the dish without a description. While I could have asked, it would be helpful if the menu explained what the sizzler entails, especially since their other menu items have descriptions. The Perks & Ambiance: Free Tea: A wonderful touch! They offer free, unlimited aromatic hot tea for dine-in customers, served in cute little espresso cups. Service & Seating: There is plenty of seating available. The service is prompt, though you might occasionally need to wave them over to get their attention, but it's definitely not a dealbreaker. Parking & Access Tip: There is ample parking in the complex, but getting to it can be a bit tricky right now due to the ongoing roadwork on Fremont Blvd. From the street, it almost looks like the restaurants in this plaza might be closed, but don't be fooled; they are absolutely up, running, and well worth the visit!

The combination of flavorful gravy, onions, and other ingredients created a wonderful texture and made every bite enjoyable. Of course, we also ordered their dal, which is always delicious, comforting, and full of flavor. And no meal at Kabila is complete without their gulab jamun. It's one of their standout desserts and always hits the spot. Overall, another great meal. Consistently tasty food, generous flavors, and dishes that keep us coming back. Highly recommend
