Chandni chowk — Restaurant in Milpitas

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for a large family gathering and were promptly seated.

We were attended to by Asis and Vasant who were both absolutely excellent, kind and helpful in making recommendations and taking care of the table.

We had a wide age range and we were able to order food to different levels of spice for children vs adults.

The food was delicious. The non-veg kababs are slower to come out, so please keep that in mind when ordering. The BBQ chicken dish was creamy and very very rich, served with a nice onion achaar and rumaali roti. The bihari lamb kabab was perhaps one of my favorites, served with a bihari kachori that I've never tried before.

Kids loved Paneer Tikka masala, chole bhature also excellent. Chaat was great too, though albeit different than what we're used to as it didn't have potato/chole in it.

For dessert, I've added a picture of both the gulab jamun cheesecake and the gulab jamun rabdi which were both excellent to try! The cheesecake is definitely more on the American style of desserts if that's what you're craving vs the the rabdi was a nice twist on a traditional dessert.

Parking was easy, restrooms were clean.

My only recommendation would be to perhaps create a more detailed menu including descriptions of each dish to make it easier for the customer to understand what is in it and what it's like, as we had to inquire about most of the dishes we were ordering.

And as mentioned, decor is very well done and super fun. Don't find many places like this here. Actually felt like India

We look forward to coming...

Chandni Chowk is not just a restaurant serving delicious food, but also a nostalgic experience that transports you to the desi streetside Dhabas of North India.

I visited the place with my bro and husband after having low expectations from the fremont one but can very well say that the food and the atmosphere of the place pleasantly surprised me. The entry has a decorated rickshaw and the inside wall posters definitely bring in a nostalgic vibe to the place. Definitely instagrammable. We ordered both starters and main course. The chana bhatura and rajma chawal definitely gave us the Delhi feels while the chicken chow mein reminded us of the flavor from the Indian streets back in the days!! However, the chilli potato was a dismal dish and I hope they improve on the crispiness and the cut size of the potatoes. I will very much prefer visiting the milpitas location again rather than the other ones. Also I found the customer service really great!!...
