Had a very good time. Great food and sweets. I was skeptical at first because of how small the place was. ut do not go by the looks, excellent atmosphere. 5/5 for the food, sweets, and service. Although some things need improvement, I will be coming back.
Went here today and ordered chicken curry with butter naan. The chicken curry was fantastic, however, the naan could have been better. The service is what saved this place from getting 4 stars, I told them that naan isn't that great and they apologized and gave me some roti, which was way better. My tip is go for the roti and any curry, on point. I was also recommended the samosa, so I took some home. Yet to try, but I will update once I have. Can't wait!!!! Give this shot a place, warm welcome and great Punjabi food.
I went there today and let me tell you they have the best samosa, and sweets. The only bad thing about this place is the hours 11am to 9pm, however sometimes they close at 8:30pm. I was told to beat the hours just call ahead of time, I was kind of like "why tho" but when I ate the food...I will be calling ahead of time. They just found a regular customer!!!
I went with my friends and loved this place. Plus the owner had the same name as me. Lol. One of the reasons I went at first but after I went I never went anywhere else. I love the samosa and the jelabi!!!!!
The food was the best Indian food in all of Bay area. It's a small restaurant in Downtown but don't be fooled by the size, the food is AMAZING. This is definitely my go to restaurant. Every friend I gave taken to this restaurant has loved the food. The uncle is very nice and gives complimentary sweets some times. This is my favorite restaurant and you should definitely try it out.
Loved their food, it reminded me of my hometown in India. The desi ghee jalebis are the best I have ever had. I could come here with my vegetarian and non-veg friends and have a great time.
Best sweets and food ever!!! I went in and was greeted by the nicest owner and he recommended me the sweets and food. I tried his choices and it was the best Indian food I tried since I came to America.
If you are looking for a place with excellent/authentic Indian food, affordable prices (hello inflation), large portions, and don't mind taking your food to the nearest park or home. This is the place for you! A little hidden gem where you have to talk on the phone, ask for w'hat you most want, pick up your food, and by the way, take the sweets that you most want to have a final sweet (the place has a variety of typical sweets where you can choose a bit of everything).
I know the photos don't do the food much justice, but I was hungry and impatient to try the food. Yesterday I had:
- Aloo Ticki (spiced, crisp potato patties. Topped with mint and tamarind sauce, onions, and cilantro).
- Gobi Masala (cauliflower coated in a masala made with cumin, fennel, ginger, garlic, coriander and secret seasoning. Garnished with cilantro).
- Lamb Biryani
The somosas and service were great. You really have to call in up front for the somosas as he only makes them fresh. These are times that he is going to give you a few hrs time frame for them. Street parking only which can be an issue at times. Place takes major credit cards and is on door dash also.
Came here half an hour before closing tonight. I got the samosa chaat and a pound of mixed mithai (sweets). The samosas are huge! They're some of the biggest samosas I've seen at a restaurant in a while considering the size everywhere seems to be getting smaller. The sholay were fresh and flavorful. The chutneys on the chaat were yummy as well. This samosa chaat is probably the best that I've had this year. The brown barfi looking pieces were delicious. The mango barfi was decent but the gulab jamuns (brown balls with the coconut) were not cooked thoroughly because all the middles were a bit hard. The service was friendly and the inside looked clean. They've done a good job about separating the register area and by providing hand sanitizer by the door. I'll definitely return!
Great Indian restaurant, to go only. Sweets were delicious. Food is very authentic. It is an owner operated restaurant which is there for more than 3 decades i believe.
We really liked the samosa chai and jalebi! Good taste and quality.. must try
You get one of the best samosa in San Jose. He prepares fresh samosas, so it’s better to order over phone before going there. Also most important part is, place all samosa orders at once and later do not update order, this owner gets annoyed as he has to prepare samosas from scratch.
Amazing samosas! We had ordered them to be picked up. The owner was very nice and friendly.
Amazing Samosas. Chatneys were the highlight. Jalebi was fresh and tasty. I know lots of reviews regarding uncle but strangely that store uncle was friendly and welcoming. Would go again for Samosas.
best Indian samosa’s in San Jose.
You have to call in advance to place a larger order. The owner will likely want you to call him an hour before so he can get everything ready. You cannot order days in advance. You can order the day off/ hour before pick up.
If you speak in Hindi, do that. It will make it easy to place your order.
Great food. The owner & his family are good people
Very good Samosas and Goat curry.
The owner is very sweet and helpful.
Fellow Indians,
In case you're feeling homesick, do yourself a favor and come here for the chats and the Jalebis.
P.S- probably the best mango lassi in the Bay area!
One of the best indian restaurants in the Bay Area! I loved the food!
I usually come here for their samosas. The crust is really flaky and has a very good flavor of Carom seeds ( Ajwain in Hindi). The filling is also really tasty. It is cooked to the correct texture and very well seasoned. The cost is also very affordable. They also have a good assortment of sweets as well.
Went before reading reviews... Glad I didn't read them first, the man at the door is nice IF you talk to him. Not the best I've ever had, but delicious none the less, and the chicken was cooked perfect! The naan was soft and thick the way I prefer it. If I come back this way it will be on my list of places to return too.
My 5 stars is totally based on their sweets and samosa. I have been their multiple times. I love their Samosa, laddu and jalebi and these are best. Other sweets are good as well. For Samosa and tea takeout, you have to call them before as it takes 15-20 minutes to make those. Their food price very reasonable.
