Ate here today for late lunch ~2:30pm. We didn't try the buffet but rather ordered snacks and drinks off the menu. I tried the irani chai with bajji combo, plus an egg dosa. The wife tried irani chai with osmania biscuit combo, plus palak paneer with garlic naan. All of the above was well made, and it was all served hot and fresh. I was expecting the egg dosa to have egg curry inside, but looks like they made a regular dosa and coated the inside with egg wash, like a french toast version of dosa. It was still well-made, and the accompanying sambar and chutneys were all quite good. I was happy with it overall, and in the future I'll probably explore other dosas. The palak paneer was rich and flavorful. We loved it, and my wife is eager to see if she can reproduce it at home. The garlic naan was also good and tasty. The best surprise for me was the bajji. I've only had my mom's version at home, so I wasn't sure what to expect. This order came as 2 large green chilis sliced open, coated in batter, and deep fried. It was spicy and potent, and I loved it. Would definitely order again. Overall very happy with the restaurant and the experience. We're planning to visit again soon.

Went here for a Sunday Dinner & it was very good. My sister & I love Indian food, we ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Palak Paneer, Chicken Tandoori, Garlic Naan & Chai tea. The Chicken Tikka Masala was very good, tasty & buttery it went really well with both rice & garlic naan. Palak paneer was okay, we would want it thicker than watery though but the taste/flavor was good. Chicken Tandoori, it was a little spicier here than other places. Full of spice flavors. Garlic naan, the crispy naan was so very good that got us excited & it was so garlicky. Chai tea, we ordered hot chai tea, it was very good that we asked for another cup for each of us. It's thicker than other places. Rich & sweet tasting. We love it. The staff were welcoming & friendly. Would definitely come back. This is likely going to be my sis & I's new go to Indian Restaurant. Highly recommend you check them out. Overall it was a great experience. Also, the restroom is clean which is a big plus to me. Keep up the good work.

Loved their mushroom pepper fry. Although it was a bit spicy. Can't wait to go back and try more.

One of the best Home style South Indian buffet place in the Bay Area. The food is fresh and tastes good! Went on a weekend and really liked the methi chaman, chicken curry, goat biryani, chicken 65. Medu vada and plain dosa was wonderful to start the lunch. They have a huge space and a good ambiance and would recommend to their unlimited buffet over the weekend

Tldr; Food 8/10, basic dishes are good, skip the mango lassi imo, garlic naan here is the best. Friday at 12 pm wasn't busy and I got seated quickly. Some comments about the building being dated by other reviewers but I thought it was rather nice inside. Mango Lassi 4/10: Probably one of my least favorite versions of this classic drink. Overly sweet and had a spiced, herbal taste underlying it that I could only classify as funky. Maybe my palette is overly western but I wasn't a fan. Butter Chicken 9/10: One of my fav butter chickens! Definitely would try again, my friend was the smart one for sticking with basics. Gongura Goat Curry 6/10: Saw another reviewer give this a glowing review so I gave it a shot. Flavor profile is great, it's on the spicy side. However, the goat meat was super chewy to the point where I had to swallow some pieces whole. Just not a dish I would order again. Garlic Naan 9/10: Wouldn't change much about this naan. One of the most flavorful, aromatic garlic naans I've had. Menus attached for y'all to glance at. Aha is only a year old as of this review but I'd recommend giving them a shot!

Family owned restaurant. Great food and service. First time and am glad I tried. Authentic Indian food with a variety of choices. Btw, they do have wine and a nice selection of India beer. I should try more varieties !!

The Karaikudi goat curry and the Gongura goat curry were both one of my favorites in the bay! The flavors for both were on point and there was that nice oil separation I love in my curry. Both had lots of depth making the flavors linger in my mouth even after the meal. The acidity from the sorrel leaves were perfect and not too overpowering in the Gongura curry. The dish was coriander forward but balanced. The karaikudi curry had strands of ginger which I enjoyed. You can see the spices bouncing around in there. The reason why I'm not giving it a 5 is because the goat feels like it was put into the pot at different times. For both, some were nice and tender while other pieces were inedibly chewy like they were just tossed in. I'll definitely be back! The gravy is really good, but hopefully they improve consistency on the meat.

Weekend buffet is awesome for non veg lovers, have good variety of options. Have good amount of space, no waiting. Service is also good.

Food is good. Since there are such intense flavor it can be over powering and over whelming. Almost like when things are super spicy. I wish there were options to pair a preferred choice or an option to reduce the flavor profile. However the wait time for the food did take longer than anticipated. Service is good. No complaint Ambiance. It is outdated. And even though it was good intention the execution could have been better.

I'm a certified vegetarian, and I have to say, their breakfast buffet is amazing! It offers a great variety for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Surprisingly, they served poori and dosa faster than coffee. If you're looking for a good deal, brunch before 11 am in the early morning for just $16.99. The ambiance is spacious, and the service is generally prompt, although there's room for improvement in order taking.

Visited this place which is pretty close to our house for a quick dinner, ordered chilli chicken & paneer Chaman. Had Paneer Chaman for the first time in US and was AMAZING . We love spicy food so ordered their aha naan and garlic naan. naan was very fresh, soft and big. Chilli Chicken was also nice but paneer Chaman was the star dish Shall recommend this place to all our friends

Naan was great. It's difficult to get good quality naan and they nailed it. If you want something different with a bit of spice, try the aha naan. Never had any naan with mirchi and it was unique. Garlic and butter naan were perfect

Went for Saturday lunch buffet & it was not crowded at all. They had a nice spread & I felt it is a pretty good spot to come for buffet with friends. Quite peaceful & you can talk with all the noise. I didn't take a single pic of the dishes but it was pretty good. They had vasa and punugulu for appetizer. Around 4 veg curries along wiit sambar & rasam. The rasam was superb and a real comfort food when I had with the white rice. Didn't like the goat curry much but the chicken curry was really tasty and spicy. The chicken tandoori and fish pakora was a hit for me. The veg biriyani was good but the goat biriyani and curd rice not so much. There was only one dessert but I wished more was there. Overall a good place to go for buffet with friends.

Curry leaf chicken was too good. Their pulav was good, relief from regular Hyderabadi d biryani ( I am a huge fan of Biryani though). I heard their weekend breakfast boofai is good. Will try it.

Was on my walk and saw, they were offering Breakfast Buffet. Next day, we took some friends. The Buffet was fresh, staff were pleasant, and good service. We started with fruits, then had 2 varieties of Vadas, fresh, and hot. Loved them. Then we tried Idlis, they were soft and fluffy, exactly the way, my wife loves. Puries were hot, with potato curry that went with the puris was good. Though, I had expected a dry version. There was a Chicken curry dish, something Pullusu, was good and flavorful. They brought hot Dosas on our table. The chutneys could have been more spicy, or some Podi on the side. Hot masala Chai was on the counter in a pot. Unfortunately, I was in a mood for some good Coffee, which, they do not serve. I m sure, in future, they may add. As a Restaurantieur, I wish them good luck. Keep the Restrooms clean, they will do well.

new Indian restaurant that just opened up few months ago, and i wanted to try and see if this will be my new go to spot. When I came in the place was very nice, but we were the only customer as we came at 6:30 PM. The place is lively and has music, they host lunch buffets and have special deals on weekend. I ended up ordering a whole vegetarian course, my friend and I got the onion samosa, which was spicy and came with 5pcs but still good. Next we had the aloo samosa, which has potatoes and peas, and it came as a 2 pc. We then got babycorn pepper fry, which was spicey, and the more I ate it the spicier it got, but it technically wasnt super spit. And for main course we got the paneer butter masala, which is the veggie version of butter chicken, it was kinda sweet, but still good as we paired it with the garlic naan on the side. They then served as at the end with a complimentary dessert. The service was also really nice, they were helpful and accommodating. They did accidental charge us for extra garlic naan when we only ordered 1 but we let them know. As well they heard us wrong when i only wanted the aloo samosa, and not the onion, but they ended up giving is both.
