I have tried a couple of biryanis at different places. But, I like their's the best. Their egg roast biryani is so good.... and the owner is really friendly too!

Great customer service by gentleman named Murli. He is very humble and friendly. I wish him a very good luck. Strongly recommended this restaurant for outstanding authentic Hyderabad Biryani’s.

Everything is just amazing, especially the sambar is one the best with fusion of Udupi with Maharashtrian spice touch. It’s a must go-to restaurant…💯

We had dinner at this place, the food was great! Rice, naan, butter chicken and Chicken Manchurian - everything was great. The service is very welcoming. We’ll definately come back!

The food here is so amazing and so delicious and their service is good I eat here everyday and I just love their biryanis and the Raita and salan it’s so creamy

The restaurant is clean and has a good vibe! We have had many different types of idlis here, like shahi idli and anmol idli. They are all unique and flavorful. The variety of chutneys served is great! The sambhar tastes fresh. And the service is prompt as well

Delicious food , good ambience and great service! We really enjoyed everything that we tried so far ! Masala dosa , benne dosa, Medhu vada, coffee , sambar vada etc. Their sambar and variety of chutneys are pretty good too. Overall Great experience !

We just heard their ad on the radio and gave them a try. Great ambience, good choice of songs! Very polite and courteous staff. Very unique menu and we were very satisfied with the twists. We ordered anmol idli , veg uttappam and biryani. They had Good jain options too! Very fresh coconut in the chutneys and soft dili with good filling as described. Yellow chutney could be improved a little to make it distinct . Do not expect sambar to be a typical South Indian ( tamil) flavor but it blends well if you give it a chance. A little more spice or sambar powder would balance the sweetness ( Karnataka style) Good proportions and food overall! A break from the routine Bay Area food. Hope they keep the standard of service experienced today and make minor improvements in flavors.

Very tasty food and great service with a great variety of menu options. We enjoyed everything we ordered. It’s a pretty casual joint. I would definitely come back next time I’m in the area

I absolutely love their food! This has been my go-to biryani place since they opened! The food is not too spicy like many other joints and the chef is very accommodative wherever possible!! I love their Avakai series, specially their Avakai Mutton Biryani, the meat is amazingly juicy and extremely tasty! Must try!

Spontaneously decided to have dinner here with a group of eight and had a great experience. I ordered the Gobi Manchurian, which was excellent, and the Bawarchi Chicken Biryani, which was also really good. Everyone else in the group enjoyed their food as well. The service was good, and the portions were more than generous. Would definitely recommend.

Great experience. Amazing food. Highly recommend. The service is awesome! ... Santanu is a great host and takes care of the customer's requirements. Idli, Vada, chutney, coffee, puri are delectable. Yummy alert! .. visit now! :)

Loved our dipped vada, masala dose and benne dose! White Chutney was not great but tomato chutney, peanut chutney and sambar was excellent!

Delicious food, friendly staff, and good ambiance. Raja was very kind and made the lunch experience enjoyable. The uttapam and udupi coffee are a must-try.

Good food and great service with a clean restaurant. We tried a few special dishes (kachori chaat and paneer burji dosa) and loved it and will be back.

Ate at Chutneys for lunch today and ordered mysore bonda, punugulu, podi dosa, thatte idli , udupi coffee and all was very good and service top notch!

We tried the veg temper biriyani. It was tasty and spice level was good. They are running a promotion and gave complimentary tea and samosa which were also good. Tea had good flavor of ginger. Definitely recommend. Will try other variants next time

Great new place. Very soul satisfying and tasty food. Rasam, Sambhar dosa and karam podi idli were 3 item we tried and all 3 were great. Will visit again for sure.

Absolutely incredible food and service! My daughter and I had a take out order. We tried the Mango Malai while we waited which was delicious! The service was impeccable... Our waitress was extremely kind and welcoming, as we are new to the cuisine. We had the Hyd Chicken Dum Biryani and the Chicken Tikki Biryani, both of which were full with robust flavors and enticing aromatics. We had it with the garlic naan. My daughter is picky, especially with spiced foods, but even she couldn't help herself to more. I will definitely return!

Excellent Food! Highly recommend this place! Especially must have Karam Podi Idly. Great Service, good ambience, classical music! Shoutout to our server Shantanu!

We had the thatte Idly, bisebela bath and spring rolls. The food was excellent. The thatte idly was reminiscent of Bangalore. I’ll definitely visit again.

A Wonderful Experience at Bawarchi Restaurant😊 I had an amazing time at Bawarchi Restaurant today! The Puri with Aloo ki Sabzi was crispy, fresh, and flavorful. Ending the meal with Double Ka Meetha was amazing—it was rich, perfectly sweet, and absolutely delightful. The atmosphere was clean and welcoming, and the food was reasonably priced for its quality. A special mention to Mr. Vishnu, the owner, whose warm hospitality and dedication to customer satisfaction made the experience even more enjoyable. I’m especially excited about their upcoming Live Pani Puri—I can’t wait to try it!😀😀 Highly recommended for authentic and delicious Indian food. Looking forward to my next visit!

I recently visited Bawarchi Biryanis, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, and the service is prompt and courteous. But the real star of the show is the food! I tried their paneer appetizers and double ka meeta and they were fresh and flavorful. I’ll definitely be coming back to try the other options! Cheers.

We tried many places for Veg biryani and Pulav options in the Bay Area and the food I find at Bawarchi is very delicious. This happened to be our go to place now to order for any size catering. Must try: Pachi mirchi paneer pulav Guttivankaya pulav Karampodi Paneer Karivepaku corn

Delicious food and friendly service. Loved their podi idly and mixed vegetable pakoras. Especially the chutney and sambhar options were of home made taste! Definitely shall visit again.

We were a party of 2 and had paani puri, lemon rasam (for soup), Benne Dosa and Mango kulfi. We found the dosa to be cold and they replaced it with freshly made hot dosa. The chutneys and Sambar were very tasty. Overall, the food was authentic and delicious. Will visit again.

We went to Bawarchi today, and it was amazing! The food was super tasty, and the service was so warm and welcoming. We absolutely loved the place! The prices are quite reasonable, but the quality of the food is top-notch. And the cherry on top? Dessert! ‘Double Ka Meetha’ was an absolute game-changer. It just melts in your mouth! A must-try for sure. Also, a big shoutout to the owner, Mr. Vishnu -such a charming and kind person who made sure we were comfortable the whole time. Definitely our new favorite spot for fresh and comforting food! Oh, and we just found out they’re starting a live Pani Puri counter soon—can’t wait to try it!

Great ambience and perfect taste in all Chutneys, sambar and main dishes. The fusion styled coconut idli was very new in taste. Meals were enjoyable too.

Supreme quality, Wonderful taste, presentation is neat, their chutneys and sambar are a total 5/5. Their dosas are not oily but crispy and nice. I liked their bottle guard chutney it is spicy and yummy. Totally Recommended.

Nice food great presentation. If you like spicy Andhra style food this is the place. Loved it.

Delicious food and great ambience! Perfect place to meet with family, friends, or work folks. all of the food is arranged beautifully on fancy stone plates and bowls. It’s also very easy to share, even the dosa! In addition, the quantity is perfect! The tables are also very stylish and they have nice comfortable chairs. I usually hate vada but theirs was so soft and crispy. Absolutely perfect! I also had their masala dosa which was neatly cut up into pieces! Their sambhar and chutney was not exceptional but still pretty good. Furthermore, we had their chole puri. By this point, I was pretty full but i couldn’t resist eating the delicious chole puri. Lastly, we ordered punugulu because it looked cool. It tasted like vada but cuter. It was too oily for my taste but a good appetizer. Usually, I end up taking a bunch of extra food packed but the food was so good that we finished it all! This was for a total of 3 people, by the way. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures but I did take one of the punugulu!

Really enjoyed the fusion dosas. Paneer Moilee is a must try. We have also tried spring dosa, korma dosa and shahi paneer dosa. All have unique taste and worth trying. the quantity is also quite good. The manager and staff are friendly and will help you with any customization. They have plenty of Jain options including sambar and chutneys. Oh and their lauki chutney is a nice surprise. This place is remodelled what used to be thali earlier. The interior is clean, and well maintained. Would definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed dining at this restaurant..Had a Great Experience, loved food and service.Our server Sahil is great, we had a nice talk with him. OVERALL A GREAT EXPERIENCE 👍

I recently ordered the Egg Biryani and Vijayawada Chicken Biryani for takeout. Both were flavorful and satisfying. The rice was perfectly cooked and aromatic, and the spice level had a great kick without overpowering the dish. The Egg Biryani came with a boiled egg, onions, and a slice of lime, simple yet packed with taste. The Vijayawada Chicken Biryani was spicy and delicious, true to its Andhra style. I also tried their Gulab Jamun, soft, warm, and soaked in just the right amount of syrup. The restaurant was clean and welcoming, with friendly staff and quick service. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a solid Indian meal in the Bay Area!

We went here as the restaurant we wanted to go had a long wait and were quite surprised. The food is simple and comforting. They said they were in the process of changing the menu so they dint have some of the items shown on the menu, hope that changes soon. Veg Pakora was just like home made, samosa chat and ghee idli were very tasty too.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. The menu boasts a delightful blend of traditional South Indian favorites such as idly and dosa, alongside fusion variations. The food is fresh and bursting with flavor. Our group included members with varying spice preferences, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their orders.

Went on a Friday night for Dinner. Place was calm, not too crowded, very polite waitress. Nice food. Clean and good seating. We ordered a Thatte idli, Rice pulav, Gulab jamun and Medu vada, Didn’t take very long for us to get served.

New restaurant on El Camino! Absolutely enjoyed the dinner on a weekday. They had a unique menu which was backed up by the delicious food. I wasn't particularly enthusiastic initially about trying these items at a south Indian place. But the general manager was fairly convincing. The food was exceptionally tasty and the highlight was the methi chaman dosa. The paneer and methi filling perfectly complimented the crispy dosa. The Kara podi idly with peanut powder was also good. We did try the onion pakoda as well. I might even go for a shahi paneer dosa or shahi idli next time 😁

Had a great time at Chutney! Sahil provided excellent service with a warm welcome, and the ambience was fantastic. The food, including samosa chat, tomato rasam, podi dosa, masala dosa, and paneer dosa, was delicious, each dosa offering a unique taste. Got the chance to meet Chef Hari, who had a pleasant smile. Overall, a wonderful dining experience!

The food was very good. If you are looking for some south indian breakfast but with a little fusion that is healthy too this is the place to go. We had the Karapodi idi (it had veggies on it), Methi Chaman paneer dosa, Moolie paneer dosa and all these are good. Chutneys are really good too (especially the bottle guard one). Highly recommended.

Loved the unique menu this new restaurant has, am excited to try what new items they are gonna add and try the other amazing options available. Gonna visit often for sure, We ordered idly which came with 3 types if chutneys (each were amazing) coconut king idly ( was amazing) and paneer moile dosa It wasnt too much for us, right amount and delicious. Service and atmosphere was nice abd clean. 😊😊glad i tried the food♥️ #karnatakaCuisine Want to try thatte idly and many more next time They have stuffed idly options here, definitely somethibg to try😊 Latest review: above is a year ago review And recently went couple of times, not as good as before unfortunately.. something changed, and food is not as good as before 🙁

Delicious South Indian food. We ordered Benne Dosa, Dahi Vada and Gun powder idly. Chutneys and sambar tasted really good. Definitely a must visit, even for quick bites. Service was slightly slow but compensated with yummy food. The place is not that big so large hangouts can be tough during prime hours.

Had the pleasure of dining at this South Indian Udupi restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. Meeting Chef Hari added a personal touch to the visit, and his passion for South Indian cuisine was evident. The rasam soup was a comforting start, and the dosa and punugulu showcased authentic flavors. The good vibes and pleasant ambiance complemented the culinary journey, making it a memorable outing. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a taste of South India with a side of warmth and hospitality

New South Indian food place in town. Just 4 months old, and food quality is very good. All the dishes were flavorful and fresh. Loved the cut mirchi here. Dosa was crispy and served with 3 types of chutney and sambhar, a lentil soup with veggies which was just perfect. They have the softest and freshest plain idli in south bay, in my opinion. They also have a variety of fusion idli flavors which are worth trying. Staff is very friendly and responsive. Location is very convenient, and is same place on El Camino where the old Lovely chaat used to be.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chutneys in Sunnyvale, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the customer service was exceptional. The staff was friendly, attentive, and ensured that every aspect of my dining experience was perfect. Now, let's talk about the food - simply put, it was amazing. I tried their unique Pineapple Rasam with Papad, and it was an explosion of flavors that I've never experienced before. The combination was exquisite, and it quickly became my favorite dish of the evening. Additionally, Chutneys boasts the best idli in the area, and after tasting it, I couldn't agree more. The idli was perfectly steamed, fluffy, and paired wonderfully with the accompanying chutneys and sambar. Finally, I couldn't resist trying their Paneer Paratha, and I'm glad I did. It was flavorful, well-cooked, and a satisfying dish overall. Overall, Chutneys Udupi fusion restaurant in Sunnyvale exceeded my expectations in every aspect. With exceptional customer service and outstanding food, it's definitely a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in delicious South Indian cuisine.

Finally, a slice of Hyderabad right here in Sunnyvale! From the very first bite of their Chicken 555, I felt transported back to the streets of Hyderabad. Perfectly crispy, spicy, and bursting with flavor—it’s everything you’d expect and more. Their Hyderabad Chicken Dum Biryani is a masterpiece, capturing the authentic aroma and taste that only true Hyderabadi biryani can deliver. The Gongura Mutton Biryani is a delightful reminder of home, with the tangy gongura perfectly complementing the tender mutton. And let’s talk about the Kalakand—so fresh and buttery, it melts in your mouth like a sweet dream. Pairing all this with a chilled Thumbs Up made the experience complete. This place has truly brought a piece of Hyderabad to Sunnyvale, and I can’t wait to go back for more! A must-visit for anyone craving that irreplaceable Hyderabadi love in every bite.

Place seems good but nothing is like the description. Benne dose doesn’t has butter, looked like masala dosa and ghee idli didn’t had enough ghee in it. Dahi puri was fresh and good. Over all a good place but items needs to be like the description and not like the usual ones. Mango kulfi was yummy!

Authentic udipi sambar and delicious coconut chutney. Their full platter was also decent. But there was a 15 min wait to get orders taken and another 30 mins to get a simple plate of idli. Noise in the restaurant was also very high(touched 100 db at one point) to have a conversation at the table. Overall a good restaurant but not fine dining

Very well maintained restaurant with decent food. Also liked the filter coffee presentation here

The dosas were very well made and good flavor. The accompanying chutneys ( peanut and tomato) were the best I have had in all of Sunnyvale. Very tasty and flavorful food. I would highly recommend trying this place at least once.

The food is good. I ordered Masala Dosa, udupi coffee, dahi papdi and mysore bondua. The bondua seemed re -fried a little oily but it was my first time. The food felt home cooked so good in terms of relativity to Indian cuisine. I asked for extra onion and chutney and was served. The owner and the server both were very friendly. The restaurant was clean and quiet. I would re-visit this for other options again!

The menu is really interesting with stuffed idlis and unique dosas. The idlis were the softest I have ever had! Although for Karam podi idli, it lacked flavor and was only served with cabbage. The paneer moilee dosa was really good! Presentation was also nice. The chutneys were on the sweeter side for me. I wasn’t a fan of the sambar as it was too chunky. Buttermilk was good. Coffee was okay. Service is excellent.

We recently ordered takeout from this restaurant, and it was absolutely delicious! The Vijayawada chicken biriyani and the Salna were particularly standout dishes. The Chicken 555 could have been a bit less tangy, but the butter chicken was fantastic for accompanying chappathi and parotta. If they could maintain the taste and service, I’m confident this place would be a huge success. The location is great, which is a huge plus.

Udupi Fusion Restaurant - They mix old South Indian food with new ideas. Had Karam Podi Idly and Paneer Moilee Dosa. Both were different and good. Go here if you want to try something new!

We ordered Gongura Mutton Dum Biryani . The taste was okay . Mutton pieces were hard and tasteless. The biryani was not worth the price. Definitely will not order again.

Host was very friendly and attentive. Place wasn't crowded, so kids ran around. And host was gracious to not interrupt. Food was ok. My favorite was onion bhaji. Dessert was quite tasty as well. I loved the rava kesari. Paneer dosa was good as well.

Good ambience, cutleries and food presentation. Karam podi idly (gun powder) was a good try. Deceived by the name, it wasn't spicy and doesn't look like a usual podi idly but rather like idly with some salady toppings. Paneer moilee dosa was another good try with a peculiar taste and rich flavor. Liked their sambars and chutneys. Disappointed with mysore bonda as it was oily.

Delicious food very friendly service and pleasant ambience. I was really surprised by the sambhar here, all the dishes are really delicious with apt portion sizes. For the name of the restaurant I was hoping for better chutneys. Anyways hope they continue the good service all along beyond the initial phase.

We ordered Thatte idli and Paneer Moilee dosa. We really liked the Paneer Moilee dosa taste and the coconut chutney was pretty delicious. We also ordered a coffee, loved the coffee. The staff was very friendly and the service was good.

We went there for lunch on a Saturday afternoon . All of us enjoyed our food. Paneer burji dosa, Utthappam and Tamarind rice were all a hit !!! Their chutneys are truly delicious . My favorite was their spicy ginger chutney - flavorful, slightly sweet and thick ! Tamarind rice in particular is one of the best I have eaten in the area ! It’s an item found commonly on the menu of most South Indian vegetarian places. But one in this place - yumm. I will surely go back just for that ! Karampodi idli and Anmoy idli were both a bit of a hype and overrated . I took away stars on their service. We waited a very long time before anyone came to take our order. It was not even that busy or full. The person who takes orders in this place wasn’t to be found for long periods of time . Turned out that’s all he does and yet… While we waited , we saw seated people who got up and left because they got tired of waiting !

There is a reason why recent reviews of this place were not great. I only realized after eating the food here - Ordered Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani for take out. Straight away BLAND! Nothing to laud or even critique about. I hope the management take this as a positive feedback and work on their end.

On an online order I requested mild spice level. The vegetable biriyani and chicken tikka masala were so spicy they were almost inedible. I had to cook white rice to mix in to cut the spice level. Not for me.

Mixed opinion on food - utthapam was delicious but Dosa was cold by the time they brought it out. Idli was average Service was below average, they seemed short staffed and struggling. Ambience was also average. Bonus - I like the fact that their plating makes it easier to share food.

It's not an authentic Udupi restaurant. It's more of a fusion cuisine. Tried the podi idly and the ghee roast idly. They were average but the sambar was pretty good. The prices are also a little higher here compared to other restaurants.

Had a takeout order. They did give incorrect items of both. Instead of karivepaku gobi, I got karampudi gobi and see egg in paneer biryani, which was not expected. Starter tasted good though. Live far Didn’t bother to go all the way again to make corrections.

+1

Being a native of udupi, we were excited to try out this place, to start with, felt the place was very calm and not crowded compared to neighbouring chaat Bhavan restaurant. Ambience was pretty good as well given the place is not huge. The restaurant had ample parking space. We tried south indian thali for lunch, felt the taste was not authentic and more of a fusion mixed with andra style. Food was served fresh and hot but took a while! Few things could be improved on the thali like chapathi which was overcooked with lot of oil, including udupi lunch menu items like pallya and kosambari and including more veggies into sambhar and making it more authentic than fusion. I wouldn't expect channa masala or basmati rice on a South Indian Thali. Overall, Felt it was more of a fusion of South Indian food and not specifically Udupi style. Full points to the friendly staff who constantly asked if everything was good. The restaurant owner also greeted us and asked for feedback. I would try appetizers next time along with breakfast items since they seemed more interesting on the menu compared to Thali! Overall I would rate it 3/5 considering the price, quality, ambience and taste.

I wanted to try the new Bawarchi since I heard it recently opened. I finally had the chance to order from there for my son's birthday, using Uber Eats for a pickup order. We ordered two Hyderabadi Veg Biryanis, two Gongura Veg Biryanis, Gobi Manchurian, and Chilli Chicken. However, when we opened the package at home, we found eggs in the biryani. Initially, we optimistically assumed it was part of the Hyderabadi Veg Biryani, but it turned out they were actually Hyderabadi Chicken Biryanis. How could such a mistake happen? Fortunately, we had non-vegetarian guests, but this could have been a serious issue if it had gone to a vegetarian household. As for the taste, the Gongura Veg Biryani was just okay; it lacked a strong Gongura flavor and was on the spicier side, so it could be skipped. The Gobi Manchurian was also standard. Ironically, the Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani was the standout dish—it was very flavorful and delicious. The Chilli Chicken is definitely a must-order. We took advantage of the Buy 1 Get 1 offer for the biryanis on Uber Eats. I hope they improve their accuracy with orders, as it’s frustrating when restaurants overlook their to-go requests. I saw multiple other incorrect order complaints in the reviews. Hope it’s sorted out soon.

We were excited to try this new Indian fusion restaurant and drove 8 miles to here for dinner. The servers were courteous and the ambience was very neat and nice. But, the food wasn't anything great to mention about. We read all the previous reviews and decided to purchase dahi vada, Karam podi idly and paneer moilee dosa, the last 2 supposed to be their bestsellers. The vada in the dahi vada was very hard. The Karam podi idli was a bad attempt at so called fusion. The podi and the idli by itself was pretty good. But the addition of the cabbage, capsicum salad bed that was tossed in podi just didn't go with it. The paneer moilee dosa was pretty underwhelming. It's a good dosa but the stuffing was very less and had only a mild flavor from it. Overall, they really need to introspect their food. They should focus on their strengths and shouldn't try to do unnecessary fusions for the sake of it.

The place is clean, shiny and new but the service needs a lot of improvement - the food took a long time to get to the table and when it arrived, the dosa was cold, the tamarind with riata dish was too spicy, lacking flavor and missing raita. The sambhar was also sweet and spicy without any of the usual sambhar flavor. They also didn't serve water till nearly the end of the meal when we were really troubled by the amount of spice in the food. That being said, the quantity of the food is great and it would be value for money if the flavors are better. All in all, I think the restaurant is figuring out their service and flavors and I'd only go there again if I know they have changed some things to fix these problems.

I ordered Hyderabad chicken biryani. The rice was good. Gravy and raita were good But the chicken pieces were dry and blunt. It feels like it was cooked separately and added in the rice.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, both in terms of the food and the service. Pros: - Okay place to sit - A little more options than a usual South Indian menu Cons: - Very ordinary and below par food when compared to any other South Indian restaurant in the Bay - Not Udipi style like it claims - Frozen chutneys - Disoriented customer service The service especially was subpar, with the manager Mr. Krishan appearing overwhelmed and disorienting both the wait-staff and customers. He made mistakes with our orders and seemed to intimidate the waiters, who were actually doing a decent job before his interference. His behavior in general was quite unprofessional, surprisingly with the customers as well. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant unless there are significant changes made to the food and management/service. There are much better options available in the area that offer more authentic and enjoyable dining experiences.

This is good place to have Dinner or lunch. Nice and clean ambience and tasty food. Definitely try once. 9-June-25 : I am downgrading the rating as visited second time with family and not had good experience. The chicken curry taste was really bad and chicken smelt bad. Even after complaining to Manager he was not given any replacement and charged for entire food. Not consistent in #taste and #quality.

First time order from this place. It is a takeout order for hyderabad veg dum biryani and paneer biryani. Hyderabad veg dum biryani has full of burnt taste and looked like scraped from burnt bottom. Paneer biryani is good but to the price both biryanis are not at all value for the money. The Salna gravy is very bland and the raitha is too much watered down and both do not have any freshness or any taste that would add to the biryanis. Definetely not coming back again and there are better options like Bagaras, Himalayan Kitchen etc

The ambience is good and service is great! But the food was such a disappointment, especially having tried their food at catered events. Ordered Sambar vadai, plain dosa and filter coffee. The Sambar in both the Sambar vadai and Dosa had a very thin watery consistency, the vada had already disintegrated and did not look like the normal medhu vadai, I was not told that the dosa would be cut into pieces, chutneys weren’t great either - there was a coconut chutney and a very sweet ginger chutney. Filter coffee had remains of coffee powder mixed with it. I would not go again for South Indian.

I visited the restaurant mislead by its name carving for Dum Biryani. Landed up ordering Hyderabad Goat Dum Biryani. Not at all satisfied by the food, though service was exceptional and the kid who was serving was very polite. My ratings below for food. Tenderness of meat: Very hard(1 rating) Dum: The rice is just flavoured it’s not Dum Quantity: Reasonable Taste: Not up to mark The only thing I liked is the Salan which I had it with rice. And left everything else behind.

I didn't like the dosa at all. We ordered masala Paneer dosa and it wasn't good at all. Not worth 14$. The chutneys were very liquid and not that great in taste. Also note ,this restaurant is not related in anyways to chutneys in Hyderabad. We came here with this misunderstanding.

I was really excited to try this place, but the experience was incredibly disappointing. The restaurant opens at 11 AM, and I placed my order for veg biryani at 12:30 PM. I was told the biryani wasn’t ready yet because “we just opened at 11:30”. For a place called Bawarchi Biryani, you’d expect them to have biryani ready during lunch hours on a Saturday. They asked me to come back after an hour, but it eventually took a little over 1.5 hrs. No complimentary dessert at least for the wait. By this point, I didn’t even care about the biryani anymore.

Ordered food online multiple times via delivery apps and their Dosas are pathetic. Can’t believe a restaurant can’t make a simple thing like dosa. Palak dosa was inedible, masala dosa had big chunks of boiled tasteless potatoes. On top of this they just sent one super tiny box of chutney to have dosa with! Please don’t waste your money here, too many better places for dosa in Bay Area.

Never coming back here and never recommending this to anyone. Came here since they newly opened in Sunnyvale and ordered only Vegetarian appetizers and biryani dishes and they served us with non-vegetarian food. I wish there were negative stars so that this place doesn’t come up in recommendations.!! There was literally a piece of chicken in the biryani and we’re pure vegetarians. Hope they close it back as soon as possible.!

Visited for the first time. This is a takeout order for Hyderabad goat dum Biriyani. It is veryyy dry and mutton was not cooked. Definetely not coming back again.

We went to this place for dinner. The food was terrible. We ordered vegetable uttapam and it was thick, soggy and raw from inside. After complaining to the server they changed the uttapam and brought a really thin uttapam (see the picture) and yet it was uncooked, soggy and raw. We felt bloated and had a stomach upset. Would never recommend this place to anyone. Being an udupi restaurant they should know the basics of cooking an uttapam. If ever you want to eat good South Indian food please go to madras cafe and skip this place. The owners needs to get better chef if they want to compete with good places like madras cafe. If ever in dire situation you visit this place, do not order uttapam.

I have tried their veg dum and gongura biryani. It was flavorless, dry and hardly found any vegetables.

Extremely disappointed with the food quality and quantity. Ordered Goat Dum Biriyani Family pack. The Biriyani quantity is too less for 2 adult and kid (8 yrs old). We have tried Family pack from Biriyani junction and the quantity was a sufficient for 3 of us. Just for comparison, We can't finish 2 packs of biriyani when ordered from Paradise, Himalayan Kitchen, Biriyani and Kebab's etc. Even the biriyani is not having any taste. Total waste of money. Will not recommend others. That's why this shop does not have much customers now a days.

Visited this restaurant with friends , skipped breakfast. we were all extremely hungry and looking forward to a good meal. The waiter who took our order was polite and welcoming, which initially gave us a positive impression. Unfortunately, things quickly went downhill. The food was a huge disappointment. We ordered biryani, which turned out to be overly salty so much so that, despite our hunger, we couldn’t finish it. When we shared our feedback with the staff, the service took a turn for the worse. The staff became noticeably rude, slamming water on the table in a harsh manner. To make matters worse, we ordered a milkshake that tasted off when we took the lit off we realizied it was expired. We left the place feeling unsatisfied and frustrated. Not an experience I’d recommend.

We had a very bad experience. We ordered a couple of chikoo shakes which was rotten, which we returned and there was no explanation or apology from the restaurant. And then the starters we ordered, both guntur chicken and karampodi fish tasted exactly the same, it was cooked in the exact same style, there was no difference between those dishes… When we wanted to know why both of the starters tasted the same, there was no proper response from the restaurant. Since we questioned about the starters and returned the shake, their staff started behaving in rude manner to us. She was literally stomping the food on our table. Made us wait too long than usual for our food, while other tables were receiving their orders. Even hot water was denied to us, which any restaurant would have the facility to provide .And the Biriyani was the worst of all, it was simply gongra pickle and avakai pickle mixed in rice. The goat meat in the biriyani was also not tender enough. Extremely salty that we left two full biriyani’s on the table itself. Totally both service and food was an awful experience.

What you could improve? Well let's start with accepting criticism about your food shall we? Firstly the chickoo milk shakes were spoiled and the lady serving had the audacity to give them to us knowing they were not edible. If people expect a good customer service I suggest you look elsewhere. Secondly they make a single gravy and just give them different names in the menu to present a bigger menu. How stupid they think the customers are? On enquiring why they all taste the same, the lady who was serving replied with, " So what do you want me to do?" Really? Is this how you respond to a question? The final straw was when the same lady brought the mutton biriyani we ordered and it was laced with so much salt. It was so deliberately laced with so much salt we had to just stop eating everything and leave. Extremely disgusting behavior from the establishment. Can't wait to see you guys close. This doesn’t even deserve one star but you know how review works. Thank you for ruining the Father’s Day for us.

We ordered Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani family pack and I had one of worst Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani experience in my life time. Its just a like plain rice eating, chicken cooked not properly. No masala. We have requested spicy, but looks like restaurant did not taken that preference. This is my opinion only.

I got the biryani from this place today. Unfortunately it’s so bad. If they don’t have the Biriyani sufficient to my order. They would have informed that instead they mixed all the left over biryanis and gave more pieces and less rice and it’s too oily. Oh my God checked some reviews and then I went there, but it is not at all good. However, to satisfy the customers, they gave the complimentary sweet. That is also the leftover sweet and they gave more quantity so that the customer will get satisfied, even if the Biriyani is not good overall disappointed with the leftover biryani 😂 Please don’t do like this for your business. Some people might be so hungry, even if they don’t have money, they wanted to come and buy and have good food.

Biryanis are very dry and bland here. Tried Bawarchi chicken pulav, which is just a load of bland white rice with dry chicken pieces. No gravy at all to mix with rice. I had to throw most of the rice. They didn't give any Mirchi ka salan too.

Updated: Found a live worm 🪱 🐛 in Biriyani 🤮 Had ordered 6 Vijayavada boneless Biriyani, Found this worm in very first box! How to trust remaining 5? Can’t even imagine my prior 3-4 bites before I found this disgusting thing. Old : Came here for picking up my uber order. Place is tiny, clean and well maintained.
