This little spot on El Camino is simple, clean, and definitely worth a visit if you are craving food that tastes like home. Nothing about it feels overly fancy or pretentious, and that’s exactly what makes the experience so comforting. The food has that unmistakable home-cooked quality—light, fresh, and easy on the palate—something that is becoming harder to find in restaurants these days.
We ordered the malai kofta and dal makhni, both served with soft chapatis (roti) and a glass of chaas on the side. The malai kofta had a creamy, delicate flavor without being heavy, while the dal makhni was rich yet subtle, a balance that made it enjoyable without overwhelming spices. The chapatis were warm and perfectly soft, adding to that homemade touch. The chaas rounded off the meal beautifully, refreshing and soothing after the flavorful dishes.
Overall, the food was satisfying and left us with no complaints. If your idea of a good meal is something close to what you would enjoy at home, this place definitely delivers on that promise.
That said, one area I feel could be improved is the dining experience itself. While the food is excellent, serving it in plastic plates takes away from the overall enjoyment. Personally, I believe introducing proper cutlery and dishes would enhance the comfort and presentation, making it more inviting for dine-in guests.
Still, for the quality and taste of the food alone, this place is an absolute...
Read moreA nice and cozy place to enjoy a variety of regional Indian favorite dishes, including the Bhel Thali, my personal favorite. Complete with lentils, chickpeas, raita (herbed yogurt), rice, naan, kheer (a wonderful rice-based dessert), a carrot dish with peas and tomato as well as Masala Chai tea. It was nothing short of amazing and uniquely flavored 😋. Every dish complements the next, and all of it is unfathomably delicious. This location is a little bit of a squeeze to arrive at at times (sometimes you have to circle the block), but other than that, the quality and price make this location well worth a visit. A truly devoted team of chefs and staff that deserve accolades 🏆 to their efforts providing both an inexpensive but also high-quality Indian meal in Sunnyvale, CA. I will return very soon, potentially with company. One of my top 3 places to eat Chaat in Silicon Valley and a sure-fire staple for Thali's in the Northern California area. Not only are the portions generous and the food tasty, but water is provided in pitchers tableside and the menu includes sweet drinks such as a Mango or Gulab Lassi, a nice accoutrement to a balanced...
Read moreThis place is amazing for some amazing North Indian food with a touch of mom's cooking. Plus the prices are so reasonable. I tried Makke ki Roti and Sarson saa saag and both roti and saag was really great. I was so happy after eating it. In addition, the phulka rotis they give have such a homely feeling. I also tried their baingan bharta and palak paneer and both of those were superb. And then there was the Tea, which had sugar in it by default and the right amount I prefer. If you like adding sugar to your own taste in the tea, make sure to mention while putting an order that you want it without sugar, otherwise it comes with it, and was awesome for me. Ohh I almost forgot gobi kaa paratha which was not just huge but also amazing. Also, the friend who introduced me to this place told me this thing that you can mix multiple ingredients in the paratha like methi, gobhi, onion and green chillies, which this place even better. This place is just awesome for North Indian food. The place is a little busy on weekends but it was totally worth the...
