Sri's Kitchen Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in San Jose

I'm incredibly disappointed to share my experience with Sri's Kitchen, as the catering provided for my wife's Seemantham was a complete failure. This event was very important to us, with many elders and special guests in attendance, and the food was a major letdown. We chose your service specifically for this milestone event, and it was a deeply embarrassing experience.

We ordered a Satvik menu with the expectation that it would be delicious, but most of the dishes were inedible. The baby corn 65 was hard and difficult to chew, the Kosumbari was excessively salty, and the green beans curry was completely bland. The vegetable pulao tasted like poorly made lemon rice with undercooked basmati rice. The only items that were satisfactory were the paneer butter masala, roti, and mango pickle.

The quality was so poor that our guests could not eat the food, and we were forced to dispose of roughly 50% of the order. This not only wasted a significant amount of money but also created a deeply unpleasant memory for an otherwise joyous occasion.

When I shared this feedback, the owner was receptive but ultimately defensive, claiming that Satvik food naturally lacks flavor. I wholeheartedly disagree with this excuse, as I have had many wonderful Satvik meals elsewhere. The quality of the food we received was not a matter of style but of poor execution.

I cannot, in good conscience, recommend Sri's Kitchen to anyone and will not be returning to...

Placed an order through Uber Eats, and they canceled my order after waiting for 1 hour. Why do you take up orders which you can't complete??? Very disappointed with this unprofessional behavior!!! 🤨😡😠😤

The order was placed through Uber Eats at 11:17am, order #ECA8F. The Uber eats driver waited for a long time and then messaged me to tell me that you guys received a very big order right before me that's why you canceled the order. I received an order canceled message through uber eats right at that time from your end as well. I even called the restaurant number twice to ask why the order was cancelled and it kept going to the voicemail, no one bothered to give a call and explain. Nice way to cover up your mistake.

No one picked up my call when my order was cancelled, and no one called me back either then, so I ordered through another restaurant which was much quicker than Sri's Kitchen, as I was starving after waiting for 1 hour. It's better if you inform people right away if you cannot...

The food here sticks to authentic ingredients. There is no compromise on flavor to meet american palette. They stick to original flavor. The food is always hot and fresh. There are several thali combinations. The variety is not huge but what they make brings me back to joints in bangalore. It looks like a small family run joint. The freshly made chutneys are excellent add on to any dish you order. My wife and I regularly go for just evening snacks at times order fried vada, small idli dipped in freshly made home style sambar and freshly made milky foamy south Indian masala tea. With the vada they provide fried salted green chillies. Being from India of course I have had better food. But according to most of what I have eaten in Bay area. This is definitely one of the places which takes me back to shops I have eaten in Bangalore. For that I have to give them a kudos. They place is mess at times and so they could manage that a bit better. Else food wise it consistently...
