"The food was great but the quantity was really little for the price :( there were random pieces of fried potato in the Lamb Gosht Ala Carte and very little meat. Meat to gravy ratios abysmal :("

"chandni chowk is the best at whatever they make. I used to visit them in fremont very often. I tried Islam chicken with rumali roti in santa Clara which was mouthwatering, extremely Delicious! so soft chicken just melts in your mouth even before you bite it, it just melts there leaving the juice and Taste behind. Staffs are too humble and extremely polite.Satisfaction in all the area is Guaranteed"
"Rumali roti was so bad. It tasted like they put uncooked oil on it and it was hard as a rock.

"The best Indian place... it's a hole in the wall Resturant... no frills. However, they serve best Chole Bhature in the Bay Area hands down. We used to like Chole Bhature from Dehliwala Chaat years back (which has gone down in value in the last few years).
The food here is also good spicy as in India and taste pretty close to Indian flavors. We have tried a lot of chicken and paneer dishes as well."
"Butter Chicken is pretty good however a little on the sweet side. Garlic Naan is super yummy and fresh and Palak Paneer is good as well. Everything was packaged extremely well which is nice for delivery... however the Mango Lassi was slightly disappointing for the price it came in a tiny cup which wasn't even full.. but like the rest it was packaged extremely well so that's a plus!"

"The Chicken Biryani, ButterChicken, an Garlic Chicken tasted quite good, was fresh, portions were okay, more chicken would have been nicer especially since the butter chicken and garlic chicken were $20 each and were just put in medium size containers with no sides. $62 for these 3 items... Definitely think it's a bit too value inefficient for me to order again in general..."
"The Vegetarian Biryani was more like veg pulao. No basmati rice and they used some cheap rice. baingan Bharta didn't have the smoked flavor. Naan was very very basic and unappetizing. Punjabi Kadi was the only item that tasted semi decent.
With enough practice, some day they may be able to serve Indian food. But right now they are not ready. There are many better options for Indian food in the Bay Area. Unfortunately, this restaurant is not one of them."

"I was not expecting the irani chai to be of such high quality, I hope they maintain it."
"The Paneer 65 Roll was flavorful and hearty. Crispy paneer pieces coated in a mildly spicy sauce, wrapped with fresh onions and a soft paratha — perfect balance of crunch, spice, and creaminess. You get that street-food vibe but in a cleaner, more consistent package.
The Irani Chai was the star for me — rich, creamy, and slightly sweet with a subtle hint of cardamom. It complemented the spicy roll perfectly and added that nostalgic café-style finish."

"Chicken biryani is undoubtedly the best in the Bay Area!!! Incredibly awesome paneer masala and their pillowy soft naan is to die for!"
"44. Chicken Karahi was a 2.5/5. It had a lot of oil just dripping out but most importantly lacked any rich flavor to go along with it.
Tandoori paneer was a 2/5. The paneer had very little flavor again.
The good thing was that the order was fast but that doesn't compensate for the taste.
I would recommend looking at similar dishes from Mantra India from Mountain view to see how you can improve both your dishes. They are my favorite."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What an absolutely incredible dining experience at Masakali! I visited today and tried three dishes — the Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, and the Chicken Tandoori Platter — and every single bite was a revelation.
The Hyderabadi Dum Biryani was cooked to perfection — aromatic, layered with flavors, and the rice had that beautiful slow-cooked depth that's so hard to get right. The Chicken Tandoori Platter was juicy, smoky, and perfectly spiced — you could tell it was marinated with real care and cooked in a proper tandoor. Exceptional quality all around.
Masakali has raised the bar for Indian cuisine in the Bay Area. If you're craving authentic, soulful Indian food, this is THE place to go. Already planning my next visit! Highly recommended! 🙌🍛🔥. Tandoori is easily enough for 2 people"

"Curd Rice was delicious, best of home cooking, very comforting, just perfect for a snack or late-night easy meal. Vadas were crispy and delicious, although undersalted. Puliyodharai was a huge disappointment, I did not enjoy it at all. It was very one-note with the sour tamarind masking every other flavor. Podi Dosa was, as always, crispy, thin, and delicious!"
"These 14 mini idlis were absolutely perfect for a South-Indian comfort meal. Soft, fluffy, and served steaming hot with a flavorful sambar and two chutneys — one coconut, one tomato. The sambar had just the right spice balance and depth; it didn’t feel oily or heavy at all.
As a vegetarian, this is the kind of dish that hits home — light, nourishing, and authentic. The mini-idli format makes it fun and easy to eat, and you can taste that the batter’s well-fermented and freshly steamed.

"The papdis were crispy, good quality and not too oily. The portion size was good as an entree, I could even save my portion. The green chutney had more water than i'd have wanted but tasty. I would prefer a no sugar option for savory condiments like raita etc. especially when more folks are watching our sugar intake. The menu variety here is great. "
"The thali had all my favs!! Aloo gobi, paneer tikka masala, Rajma, kadhi, and gajar halwa. Tasty, fresh and delicious.
The Chocolate Lava Cake was also very good, small in quantity but amazing nonetheless. "

"Mutton was good, portion size was very good
I was expecting very less quantity like other indian restaurants but they impressed me with the mutton quantity and taste
5 out of 5"
"It was average, the togo containers were smaller than expected but it was enough for me. The Fish Curry was not good, way to acidic like they overdid some spices. It almost reminds me of rasaam. But the Chicken Kuzhambu was good, tasty, wish they included more meat and curry for $14, overpriced imo, it was worth maybe $8-10."

"First time having Idly Vada Combo & it was very good! The idly was very spongy & a lot bigger than i thought. The vada was very crispy and that was my favorite. One vada & idly was enough to fill me up. The sambar had very good light curry flavor. Coconut chutney was not my fave but the other red chutney was good.i wish there was more of that one. "
"Idly Express continues to impress with authentic, homestyle South-Indian flavors — simple, pure, and satisfying. The Onion Tomato Chilli Uthappam arrived hot and fresh, perfectly cooked with a crisp base and soft, fluffy center. Each uthappam was generously topped with finely chopped onions, ripe tomatoes, and green chillies that added just the right level of heat — not overpowering, just enough to awaken your palate.
The accompanying sambar was flavorful and aromatic, slightly tangy with a comforting lentil depth, while the coconut chutney was smooth and refreshing. Together, they created a balanced meal — spicy, tangy, and soothing all at once."
