There are a few places in the Bay area that offer food from the state of Maharashtra (India). Swaraj India is definitely one of the best ones. The food here tastes authentic and reminds me of food back home. Its a bit on the spicy side, which I like. This time I got the food delivered. The food was packed well and there were no spills on the way.
Kolhapuri Chicken Rice Plate: This comes with rice, roti and papad on the side. It is spicy! And flavorful. Complements the region this dish comes from (which is know for its spicy food). Kolhapuri Vegetable Rice Plate: This comes with the same sides as the chicken and is spicy as well. Pav bhaji: I loved this. Reminded me of eating the same thing at Juhu beach in Mumbai. Vada Pav: Taste was very similar to what you get in Mumbai. Also the dry chutney is really good, and of course spicy. Matki Bhel: I liked their take on the regular bhel. The moong beans tasted good with the rest of the ingredients. Sev Puri: Many places serve this, but this place sent everything separate (as a kit). That way the puris were not soggy. Also a lot of different places serve this dish using the puris used for pani puri (thats not sev puri!) +1 for staying authentic and using flat puris. Pani puri: The pani was nice and spicy. And they gave a generous amount of stuffing.
Needless to say, I'll order again.
P.S. I feel I'hv used the word "spicy" a lot in...
Read moreToday we picked up food from this place. We ordered vada pav, chicken kolhapuri curry, chicken kolhapuri rice plate and kesar pista lassi.
Vada pav : mind blowing taste and definitely one of the best I had so far in California. For $7 you get 2 vada pav which is absolutely worth the price. They gave red garlic chutney which is spicy like really very spicy plus green chutney and sweet chutney. Also 1 green chilli dipped in red garlic chutney. So now you can imagined the taste of vada pav with all this chutneys. I bet you will go back again specially if your craving the taste of Mumbai.
Chicken kolhapuri curry : very delicious ! The curry is thick and spicy I loved the taste. Its maharashtrian style so you won’t miss your home. Chicken is soft and juicy. Quantity is enough for two people for one time.
Chicken kolhapuri rice plate: Its the same chicken curry but served with 2 chapati, rice, raita, papad which is very good for one person for one time. I felt the quantity of curry is less for 2 chapati and rice but overall the taste kills everything.
Kesar pista lassi: very disappointed as they forgot to pack with the order. We checked the bag after coming home and found that lassi is not in the bag and called them but no one answered. So don’t know the taste but still I will give 5 star for the taste of the food which is very...

I stopped by this place around 9:45 pm of Friday night to get some Pani Puri and Dahi Puri. The chef let the cashier know to verify dishes with him before taking the order and once "availability" was established they took this order. At the end the cashier asked for here or to go, and I SAID FOR HERE, and he charged me for the 2 dishes. As soon as my friend and I turned around to sit on the table, the guy from the food truck shouted rudely that the tables are closed and we cannot sit there and rushed quickly from the truck to table to turn the chairs upside down. THIS WAS THE MOST RIDICULOUS BEHAVIOR I HAVE EVER SEEN FROM A SERVICE INDUSTRY PERSON. IF YOU DONT HAVE WILLINGNESS TO LET THE CUSTOMER SIT AND EAT, LET THEM KNOW BEFOREHAND THAN ACCEPTING ORDER TO CLEAR YOUR LEFTOVERS. There was a mother of 2 sitting on the floor, another couple sitting on the sidewalk. Most...
