Suggi Oota Takeout — Restaurant in San Jose

Suggi Oota's food will leave a memorable impression on you (and your guests) and craving for more of Karnataka style home cooking. We catered our baby shower lunch from Ranjini who is so easy to work with and accommodating of your needs and wishes (including allergy specifications). While deciding the traditional menu, Ranjini gave us impressive suggestions that turned out to be so good that all our guests went for seconds and more :) We requested the food to be ready by noon and all the items were neatly packaged and ready to be loaded into cars at our requested time. Our menu consisted of Kosambri, ambode as starters, Pulao ( mint coconut base) with spiced Raita was such a hit with all our guests irrespective of their food preferences. Chapati and the Yennagai (stuffed brinjal) need a special mention, so fresh and a hit with kids at the event. We also had Rice with Saaru and Kadle kaalu usli (black chana sundal) which were authentically made. None of the dishes were spicy and were perfectly seasoned. For dessert, Ranjini made Holige (Puran Poli) with Shikarne (mango pulp) - another crowd favorite, this combination was new for our guests but they loved it on trying it. And I can't forget to mention the tray full of fresh oil fried pappads. Everyone complimented us for the food and asked for Ranjini/Suggi Oota's details.

Ranjini is very generous with the quantity of food but I would suggest ordering for a few extra head count while catering, everyone is going to go in for seconds and will even take some left overs home. The food is freshly made, with no added preservatives/food coloring/baking soda which most other places use. Our baby shower turned out to be a great celebration and the food was a big part of it. I couldn't be more happy with the way everything turned out. Ranjini even took time to call me after the event to find out how everything went which only shows how much she cares about her clients and the food she serves.

Suggi Oota's food is the best taste of home cooking you can get away from home! (I wish I had pictures, turns out no one took pictures of the food before munching on...

I came across suggi oota online and wanted to use their catering for our house warming ceremony. I was looking for an authentic and good Karnataka food in Bay Area which is very hard to find. I did read most of the reviews before speaking to Ranjini and so glad we chose suggi oota☺️ I wish I could give more than 5 stars. All the reviews speak volumes about how good Suggi oota food is. The whole experience of ordering for catering was so smooth. When you speak to Ranjini you can feel the passion she has towards food. I called her a week before my event to order Karnataka food for about 45 people. She was so cooperative in deciding the menu and gave such amazing options. So impressed with the quality of the food. We had our friends parents visiting from Bangalore and they felt the food was exactly like what one would find in Karnataka. It’s really hard to pick one item as the best☺️☺️ everyone loved her appetizers Mirchi Bhajji and ambode, ghee rice was just too good with kurma. The methi chapathi was so good all my friends asked for extra servings to take home. What surprised me most was her sambhar. Generally with such catering orders people just give an ordinary sambhar, but Ranjini made the Sambhar with drumstick and all other veggies and you can feel as if it was made by someone’a mom. For desserts we ordered godhi payasa and dry gulab jamun. I am not a big fan of dry gulab jamun here in Bay Area but the one made by Ranjini was so good !! We hardly had anything left over. The godhi pyasa is just like what you would eat in Karnataka temples. What impressed me was the quality of the ingredients she used and went an extra mile to make the appetizers just before our order pickup so that people can enjoy it while it’s hot. I am so glad Ranjini decided to open suggi oota so that other people can enjoy her cooking as well. Thank you Ranjini for making our house warming event so special with food that all our friends and family enjoyed. 😍😍 Look no further for amazing Karnataka food for any events you are planning. You will be impressed so much by the care and passion Ranjini takes in...

We chose Suggi Oota to cater lunch for our baby shower. We invited different groups of friends to our function and initially planned to serve traditional South Indian meal. But Ranjini had a larger catering order with a different fusion menu.

The menu included Bean Burger and bbq corn tarts for starters. American Chop Suey, Beetroot roti with lotus root curry and fried rice with tofu for main course. Dessert was beetroot halwa with almond nut cream. We were not sure if everyone would like the items but we trusted Ranjini. She was very sweet and answered all of our questions and accommodated our request to keep the food ready by 12.30 PM.

The food in itself was just too good. From fresh, crispy bean burger patty to the finely diced vegetables in fried rice, everything was perfection. The lotus root curry was a hit. Beetroot halwa turned out to be better than carrot halwa. The usually neglected fried rice was empty. Almost all the guests asked for the Suggi Oota’s contact.

The best part is how we felt the next day. We did not feel like we had a heavy lunch, masala was apt and there wasn’t any food color residue on my fingers that I noticed. I think Ranjini loves to cook, there was no other explanation for the excellency she dished out. 

Thank you so much for answering all of our questions and exceeding our expectations. We are so glad to have...
