LOVE THE Dal Makhani it the best in entire bay area. Spices are perfect"
"Consistently poor qualityfood. Mutton Goat Dum Biryani (Kachche Gosht ki Dum Biryani) has very little meat, mainly bones. Gongura Goat Curry was salty. This place has no consistency. Avoid Goat Dum Biryani (Kachche Gosht ki Dum Biryani) as no meat. "

"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"

"Garlic Naan was very tasty and large size as well, worth ordering to pair with their curries.
i recently ordered Dhaba Chicken which was amazing. This time I tried the Achari Chicken , I can now confirm their chicken non-veg entrees are among the better options in Bay area. I look forward to trying the mutton & seafood dishes in future."
"Sufi Kaju Chicken cashew based white gravy with methi is really nice, good flavor & different from the usual non veg entrees. I still prefer the Dhaba Chicken since I'm fond of spicy food, but highly recommend trying this once.

"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."

"Ordered "flavored rice" at a higher cost but got regular rice. So that was disappointing. The flavored rice is a derivative of their Biriyani which is very good. Highly recommended - if they actually give it to you. This place makes good food so 5 stars. "
"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! "

Tandoori paneer was a 2/5. The paneer had very little flavor again.

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."

"Ordered in advance, Punjab Cafe accepted the order around 6:40pm and I received the order at 7:10pm (asked for 7-7:20 delivery)
I ordered the 24oz Butter Chicken (which is HUGE), the Chicken Tikka, Garlic Naan, a small rice (enough for 3 people), and 2 orders of the Vegetable Samosas (4 total)
Everything was piping hot and wrapped with extra care. Definitely enough food for 4 people
The Butter Chicken is a delicious tandoori style chicken in a creamy butter sauce. I ordered mild but will try medium next time as mild literally has no spice
The Chicken Tikka was my favorite. I ordered medium and it had the perfect amount of spice. It comes with onions and peppers with are an added bonus. Each piece of chicken is a sizable chunk (about 2 inches cubed)
The Vegetable Samosas are nice and crunchy. I typically like them spicier, but they were still delicious"
"The Butter Chicken ( 16 OZ ) and Garlic Naan is insanely good and a pretty great price for 2-3 servings of food. I got mild spice level and it was perfect for me but still a little spicy. The naan was super buttery and garlicky and just perfect with the butter chicken. Highly, highly, highly recommend!"

"the wrap was really good! the bowl was also good although I'd have preferred more veggies to balance out the spice (which felt greasy)"
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I ordered the Rice Bowl with Cartel Chicken from Halal Kartel and it was excellent! The chicken was flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the seasoned rice was very satisfying. The white garlic sauce and spicy harissa garlic sauce added an amazing taste to the bowl. Great portion size and very fresh ingredients. Definitely one of the best halal rice bowls I’ve had. Highly recommend!"

"Butter chicken arrived warm, perfect spice level. Garlic naan is super tasty, love the flavor and cilantro. Would definitely order again"
"The Butter Chicken tasted more like an Italian take on Indian food than actually carry authentic flavour. Too much tomato, not enough Indian spices. The spice level is just chilli, again missing flavouring in the chicken. Not worth the price, but the restaurant discount made it acceptable. The plastic packaging was practically melting holding the hot curry, so please avoid if you're conscious about microplastic consumption.
Garlic Naan was alright but tad overpriced I feel.
However hygiene factor and freshness was good for Indian restaurants (tell you more tomorrow, haha). Portions were okay, I'll order again but try different dishes."

"We bought family pack which was good enough for 4 adults. The biriyani had a lot of succulent and masala claded chicken pieces. Chicken pakoda was cherry on top with the biriyani. I would recommend both for anyone who wants to give Ustaad biriyani a try. "
"This review is for mutton dum biryani that is available only Fri through Sunday. Been in the bay for over 15 years and tasted every popular place in south bay and east bay, I would say this is the truly authentic dum biryani I ever had. They use fresh goat meat, hence succulent with perfect amount of spices. As you open the box you get a smell of cloves and cardamom. The salan and raita is on the thinner side which is how it should be. You have option to order double masala which makes it on the spicier side. From now onwards this would be my go to place for dum Biryani.
One improvement they can do is use bigger box. As you take it in the plate it creates a mess. "

"Butter Chicken is full of rich flavors and drenched in sauce. Side of Basmati Rice was made per , not too soft not too hard. Just the right consistency. Combined together made the perfect duo. Garlic nan was too hard and crumbled quickly. Mango Lassi was a little water cup. Not worth the buck but was good. Dinner was DELICIOUS. Will be ordering again! Thank you."
"There were a few issues with my order. The butter chicken is not made fresh. You can tell by the way it is congealed in its container. As if they prep out the food ahead of time and warm up the food in the containers. The chicken is old and rubbery and dry and stained. The sauce is separating and does not combine well, when it should be smooth, like butter. The garlic Naan also tastes pre-cooked and just reheated. It tastes like stale warm bread. After having a bite of the over spicy coagulated mess of a butter chicken, my tongue is on fire, and the $4.99 basmati rice could not save me. Why is it not included with the butter chicken entree? To further screw the patron? Furthermore, I can't taste a lick of garlic or butter on this lifeless flatbread.
This meal was past its expiration and a huge regret. When did re-heating this weeks leftovers pass off as restaurant delivery? I want my money back."

"The chicken tikka masala here has a hint of spice which is amazing, most places has no spice and it's basically butter chicken. Also the tandoori chicken has a beautiful smoky flavor!! And the garlic naan is amazing as well. I wish it was priced a little lower but great food"
"Tried Paneer Biryani, it's definitely packed with flavor and plenty of paneer. It is high on the spice level. I wish there was an option to chose the spice level. But very impressed and enjoyed it. Packed with extra care and arrived fresh. "
