"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.
Verdict: Ideal for breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner when you crave something homely and satisfying."

"Jaipuri Masala Bhindi Was Too expensive for the quantity. But everything was fresh and tasted good"
"4 DOSA BALL for a price of $9.99- such a scam. Also they were so oily, didn't eat after one bite, just small balls of potato, dosa batter was minimum, so call it potato balls! Moving on to the Rajouri Garden Chana Bhatura- really?! Has the chef eaten Rajouri Garden Chana Bhatura?? Not even close, to the taste. You should simply call it chana bhature, not Rajouri Garden Chana Bhatura, the taste is decent but the bhaturas somehow were bitter. They were very fluffy and to ny surprise not oily like the dosa balls, but there was a bitterness in them. But overall chana bhatura was decent-3.5/5. Comes with onion salad, pickle and raita."

"This is my go to place for Hara Bara Kebab! Hands down best in the area. The Paneer Tikka is delicious as well. Cooked to the right consistency with perfect amount of marination.
I was a little disappointed with the green Chutney however. The curd was over fermented (possibly spoiled). I got a very strong whiff of pungent sour smell as soon as I opened the container. When I tasted it, it was definitely spoilt! The restaurant should give curd based cold items in a separate bag from warm items to avoid situations like this! "

Palak Paneer is Spinach ground up into a liquid with has fresh chunks of white cheese similar to fresh mozzarella. Goat Curry medium is nice and spicy for true Desi tastes.

"The parathas were good, but the size is smaller than normal size and also, they don't come with any raita/yogurt ir pickles. There is no separate selection as well to pay for them."
"Shahi Paneer is not like shahi paneer to make a comment.
I had to trash it.
I am sure whoever made it has tried it in other restaurants which is usually super good. And everyone's favorite.
Aloo Paratha is not good.
I trash it as well."

"Loved the taste of the Chicken Pulav (Mild). Not too filling, quite apt quantity. Will definitely order again!"
"Chicken Pulav (Mild) is better than any biryani in the bay area! It is mild and flavorful and the flavor comes from the chicken and with no excessive masalas. Chicken was a bit chewy in the pulav but delicious nonetheless .
Kolhapuri mutton Masala (Medium and Flavorful) was awesome as ever with very flavorful home made masalas.
Chapati is the best in the area!"

"Amazing Rajasthani Pyaaz Kachori (2 PCs) ! Reminded me of Rajasthan in Bay Area! The size is bigger than any other restaurant. The internal filing is delicious without heavy oil usage. Loved it! "
"We ordered 4 items. But due to a promotion we had to order everything in 2 qty. So, now about Bhindi Sabzi (Okra) - found it slightly oily but great portion. The Paneer Butter Masala (Online) was good too and my fingers did not seem to get the orange color which was a good sign. The Sweet Corn Soup Bowl (Online) was just perfect but would have liked more quantity. Finally the Kashmiri Pink Chai was good too but slightly sweet for my taste."

"21. Lahori Choley, a traditional Punjabi chickpea curry, is an absolute delight at Khan's. The rich blend of spices, the tender chickpeas, and the flavorful gravy create a symphony of taste that transports me back to the streets of Lahore. Each bite is a burst of authentic flavors that are both comforting and satisfying.
35. Chapli Kabob (2 Pcs.) , a signature dish from Khan karahi, is a true masterpiece of flavor and texture. Each succulent bite of tender meat, marinated to perfection with a blend of aromatic spices, took my taste buds on a delightful journey. The smoky aroma and charred edges added an authentic touch, reminiscent of traditional tandoor cooking.
Overall, I highly recommend Lahori Choley and Chapli Kabob to anyone craving authentic Pakistani cuisine. Whether you're a fan of spicy curries or savory rice dishes. Both of these have something to satisfy your cravings. "
"The Chicken Biryani is terrible. It does not taste like a biryani at all. It's just spicy rice. Also, there was two tiny pieces of chicken. A waste of money!"

"Consistent quality. My favorite ones are Chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. Garlic naan is very flavorful and fresh. I also tried Fried piece biryani, which was also very good. "
"Portions were extremely small for the price. Super expensive. Mild was NOT mild. About 6 small pieces of chicken, both masala and butter chicken tasted the same. The basmati rice was so expensive with barely any paneer. Only two pieces of naan . Nothing came with sides. Definitely would not order again."
