And even the chats were not upto the mark. Cholle bhaturas are fine, so is the kulfi I would look for other Indian options, which are plenty in the bay area. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Recommendation for vegetarians: Somewhat recommend

After reading some good and bad reviews I feel I needed to see what is good there. The place had a nice backyardwhere people can sit and eat their food. It is like a grocery store with a food corner. I was not that hungry so I just wantedto taste one thing from this place and chole bhature was something everyone said was really good here. I have never had adecent chole bhature since I have been here in the US  so I didn't have high hopes for this place either. The place wasrather clean and spacious. They have a token system where you pay and then your name is called for the food. I was seeing howthe bhatura was made and it reminded me of how it is made in India . when my order was ready they called my name and I could seethe bhatura all puffed up .it got me excited. honestly, this was the most delicious chole bhature i have ever had. price wiseI would say it was a bit pricey considering you get one big bhatura . Overall I really enjoyed the food.

It'd ne nice if they had more pictures or ingredients in their menu for those of us who are not very familiar with the names. Warehouse-like environment withindoor and outdoor sitting. Portions are pretty decent.

I hadn’t had a decent chole bhature since moving to the U.S., so my expectations were not very high. The place was quite clean and spacious, and they operate on a token system where you pay first and then they call your name when your food is ready. As I watched the bhatura being prepared, it reminded me of how it’s made back in India. When my order was finally ready, I was thrilled to see a perfectly puffed bhatura. To be honest, this was the most delicious chole bhature I’ve ever tasted. While I found it a bit pricey for just one large bhatura, overall, I truly enjoyed the meal.

I really loved the Bhatura Cholle and Chicken Biryani. The Masala Dosa was also good.

I recommend buying a jug of Mango Lassi from the grocery store next door and sharing it using the water cups, as it's much cheaper than purchasing it at the restaurant.
