My personal favorites are Koli varutha kari and pomfret curry. Both authentic and loaded with flavors. Rabadi gulab jamun is good too. I can say i will be a regular here and would refer my friends and family to this place.

One night two months ago, I accidentally stumbled upon a takeout window next door to the Salvadoran…read morepupusa place. I was hungry, pupusa place was closed, and iBird Chef promised me food in 15 minutes, so I gave it a shot. Ever since, I had tried to go back three separate times--each time it was closed! I started to question my reality: did I actually get food from iBird or was it a dream? If it was a dream, it was a great dream! Chicken 65 biryani was one of the best (and spiciest) I've had! It was the first time i had chicken modilee--very strong and deep smokey flavored. I also ordered handi subzi; while it was the most bland among the three dishes, it was a great compliment since others were very spicy but all enjoyable! I also like the fact that they have the weight of each item so you'd know exactly the amount of food you're getting. I hope that this place isn't a unicorn, and I can go back and try the Indo-Chinese items on the menu!

When I first heard about Spice Vow through Instagram, I knew I wanted to try it. Their story hits…read morehome :) because the owners are a Filipino and Indian interracial couple like me and my partner! Keep in mind this is not a dine-in establishment and they mostly do catering, but you can catch weekend popups to pick up from their home. They focus on Indian/Filipino fusion foods but also have some non-fusion offerings. Since this isn't a combination you come across often though, we only got the fusion stuff from this week's popup menu. They advertise the weekend popups on Instagram so make sure you follow them to see when the next one is! I ordered ahead through their site and was able to set a pick up time. Our order was ready 5 minutes early, and because this is a new small business, you pick up the food from their home in Redwood City like I mentioned. Karen texted me and let me know the order was ready, and she came out to hand the food to us. She is super sweet, and even gave us some complimentary ube/lychee sago! Very easy order and pickup process. Onto the delicious noms!! We had: Ube chai 4/5: lovely Ube flavor, and some would probably rate this higher, I just rarely like cold chai :D Paneer Lumpia 4/5: we really enjoyed these, the spring rolls were nice and crisp and I liked that they are served on top of a banana leaf. The paneer didn't have much flavor so it gets drowned out by the sweet chili sauce. I think if the cheesy paneer flavor came out more it would be better. Butter chicken palabok 7/5: star of the show! So flavorful and so so good. The little packet of crushed chicharrones to put on top was a nice touch Tandoori chicken sisig 5/5: these fusion meals really hit. This was also bursting with flavor and the egg on top had the perfect jammy texture inside. Ube/lychee sago 5/5: I loved this and wish I got a full serving! There were some chunks of ube halaya and pieces of lychee too. Surprisingly not too sweet, and a really great treat. If you're in the peninsula definitely check them out! I think we are going to be regulars hehe :)

Oxtail melted in our mouths, so was the chicken in the gumbo. Lobster mac n cheese was great. The serving size is about right. Will order again and to support local business.

I have ordered from Farheen's Island Kitchen twice so far and both times was an incredible…read moreexperience. First Experience: The food was delicious and the customer service was even better! Farheen responded within seconds of me texting her and ordering was painless (no complicated forms or website links). Payment was through Venmo but she sent me a proper invoice with all the details of my order. We got the couples deal that they had at that time which came with a full rotisserie chicken, 2 sides (we chose roast potatoes and gravy) and a 2L soda! When I mentioned that we weren't big soda drinkers, I was immediately offered the passion fruit drink as a replacement. This deal is great value! The portions were good, and it was only $21.94 with tax (19.99 w/o tax). Normally, when things are great value, they lack in the quality/ taste department....not so in this case! The chicken was tender and juicy and so flavourful! The meat just slid off the bones! The baby potatoes were roasted to perfection and seasoned just right. We ordered the medium spice level and it was perfect. The gravy was delicious and savoury and a wonderful complement to the whole meal. The passion fruit drink is also a must try! It was a perfect balance of sweet and tanginess and was very refreshing! Finally, this review took longer to write than it did for me and my husband to demolish the food (that's why no pictures from our first time except for the passionfruit juice). That's just how good it was! My husband is normally picky with ordered/ catered food and prefers home cooked but he loved everything just as much as I did! Second Experience: I was craving their rotisserie chicken and wanted to have it again. Farheen was so sweet that she offered to give me the couple's special again at the $19.99 promo price. Ordering was painless as before (she sent an electronic invoice and I paid via Venmo). This time I made sure I took pictures before we dug in lol. The chicken was just as juicy, tender and flavourful as last time. We got the pink lemonade instead of the passion fruit juice this time and it was fresh and delicious! She also gave us an extra side of rolls along with the 2 sides that came with the meal. This time the sides were mashed potatoes and gravy. Both delicious! Everything was neatly packaged and there was zero spillage or mess. All in all, a very satisfying meal....great customer service, delicious food, hassle free ordering... the works! If you haven't tried out her food yet, I strongly recommend that you try it out. Great for a lovely date night at home! Maybe surprise your partner on Valentine's Day with a tasty but inexpensive candlelight dinner, you provide the candles and fancy silverware and have Farheen's Island Kitchen provide the food hassle free

First time trying EMS Kusina in Hayward and honestly... SO GOOD…read more I've been going to them since they had their food trucks, so I'm really happy they finally have a restaurant nearby! I got their chicken inasal and it did NOT disappoint. I also tried the kwek-kwek, and omg so good! The sauce is seriously TOP TIER. It really gave me that feeling like I was back in the Philippines eating street food and they also have their cantaloupe juice, REALLY GOOD! I also know their iskrambol is really good, so I definitely want to try that again next time I go! If you're craving Filipino food, you NEED to try this place. Definitely worth checking out, and I'm so happy they're in Hayward now!

I tried out snow fresca at their pop-up at the Castro valley marketplace. I really love supporting…read morelocal food vendors especially ones that are owned and operated by a local family. Snow fresca really hit the spot after a blazing hot week, hitting upper-80s & low-90s. Particularly what they do well is they use real fruit juice which makes a huge world of a difference, they offer sweet fresh cut fruit as a topping alongside coconut cream or condensed milk, and a few other sprinkles and coconut shavings. I ordered a medium shave ice with ice cream, mango/pineapple/guava "syrups" and condensed milk with ice cream. Unfortunately the ice cream didn't make it in the shave ice, but when brought to their attention they offered to bring us a scoop. My personal suggestions: I think the shave ice may be better if the ice cream is topped with fruit and the shave ice is packed a little lighter. The reason I say this is because the fruit is loosely packed atop the shave ice and becomes a bit of a balancing game to try and eat without them just falling off the top and onto the table. This also becomes quite a challenge because you essentially need to pick at your shave ice because it's a bit too solid (but super light and fluffy once you do manage to pick out a bite), and occasionally lose a few fruit from all the ice being picked loose. Otherwise, I'd say this is one of the better shave ice in the immediate Castro valley area - especially the only one who uses real fruit juice!

My fiancé and I came to try Snow Fresca at Castro Valley Marketplace! We were looking around inside…read morethe marketplace for them but they were actually located outdoors where a lot of the seating is! We got here and filled out the form with our choices. I got a medium sized mango and guava with strawberry and mango bits with condensed milk and vanilla ice cream. I think my fiancé and I could have shared a medium one, especially after a meal! It's not 100% exactly what I would find in Hawaii but it was still good! We loved that there was an option to add ice cream. My fiancé got banana ice cream with his and he absolutely loved it! There were clumps of ice at the bottom, probably from the shaved ice being pushed down as they were making it. The syrup was inconsistent - some areas didn't have any syrup and was just ice. My ice cream as all melted by the time I got it, but my fiancé's ice cream was fine. Odd because I got my order first! It's still a good dessert place to stop by if I have a craving!
