Frontier Spice — Restaurant in Pleasanton

Good ingredients and careful control of spices and flavors makes the dishes taste fresher and more subtle than at other Indian buffets. In comparison, many other buffets in the area have reheated and overseasoned dishes that taste too salty and oily, leaving you feeling tired afterwards.

The vegetable dum biryani came in a pot with the dum on it, which the wait staff removed and they informed us that we can infact eat the top like a chapati with the other gravy dishes we had ordered. That was new to me:). The dum biryani was delicious. We had the crunchy okra which was a 4.5 for me. We topped our meal with a Masala chai which was just the right refreshment after a...
