An Unforgettable First Visit to Raunak: Elite Ambiance and Authentic Flavors
My first visit to Raunak was truly an incredible experience that instantly places this restaurant on my list of must-revisit spots. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the truly elite and amazing ambiance. The atmosphere is what sets Raunak apart. It’s clear the interior was a labor of love; I was told the owner personally handled the design, and that passion and dedication shine through in every beautiful detail. The space feels refined, elegant, and comfortable—it’s obvious that creating a beautiful dining environment was a priority. The food matched the setting perfectly. We ordered a selection of classic Indian dishes: the chola bhatura, rich and fluffy; the comforting egg curry; a fragrant pulao; and the perfectly executed street-food staple, golgappe. Every single dish was extremely delicious and authentic. You can taste the care and traditional spices in every bite, proving that Raunak delivers both on presentation and flavor.

Our family trip to Raunak Restaurant in Milpitas, CA was absolutely amazing and full of flavours! From my 3 year-old kid to our 63 year-old mother, everyone had a big smile throughout the meal.
The place has such a warm and cozy vibe, and the moment we entered, the staff welcomed us with a cheerful smile and helped us find a comfortable table for our big group. We started with their classic starter Tandoori Chicken which was fresh and Juicy loved by both kids and seniors alike! The Malai Kofta was rich and creamy, just the way we like it. Even our mom, who usually prefers home-cooked meals, couldn’t stop praising it.
For drinks, we tried their famous Mango Lassi— thick, cold, and just heavenly. And the real star of the show was the Chole Bhature Oh my! I felt like i was in my home town. Everyone fought for the last bite!
What impressed us even more was the polite and attentive service. They made sure we were comfortable, kept checking in. It made the whole experience smoother.
We left with full hearts (and bellies!), and everyone agreed that we’d come back again. If you're visiting Milpitas, CA with your family, Raunak is a must-try! Great food, great service, and memories...
Read moreVisited for dinner with family; Great Ambience & atmosphere; I will visit again as it is walkable from my home.
One request- please replace the existing Tong to a lengthy one ; very difficult to use them. Excellent service - 4 starts as it seems like under-staffed for weekend - SINGLE person waiting table for the entire restaurant; Ordered:
Appetizers -- NEED IMPROVEMENTS
chicken pakora - freshly made, great taste but bigger chunky pieces; veg grill platter - nice presentation served on sizzlers bed; very tasty; but heavily loaded with paneer cubes; less veggies like mushroom & cauliflower; more onions & capsicums Achari chicken tikka - freshly made, great taste but missing the spicy kick; even I asked for TWICE spicy level - it didn't live up to my expectations Masala Chai - ordinary & bit watery Entrees -- GOOD QUALITY & QUANTITY
Breads - freshly made, great taste; garlic naan was sublime; bullet naan was oily; gobi paratha was good; tawa latchha paratha was burnt; they replaced it
Bindi Masala - Fresh & tasty; but okra must be fried a bit more as some of them...
