Not writing about the food quality here! I have been to this place twice so far, and never in life have i come across such rude, uncivilized, discourteous, arrogant, blunt & unfriendly waiters cum workers at the billing counter. I really dont want to generalize this to all of the people working there, but just the two people in specific, who were in-charge on the days I went. The first time I had a bad experience, I avoided arguing or giving a bad review considering that people have their ups and downs in a day and I did not want to make it an issue. However after another encounter today, its clear that this place hires people who are positively unethical and unrefined. If a customer asks for a TO-GO order and you expect them to come to the counter and collect it after sometime, you are supposed to let them know about it in "advance". We are not getting things from you for FREE, for you to show such arrogance and make the customer wait without informing anything. The bad-mannered billing person just watched me sitting and waiting and after 40 minutes of wait ( I didnt want to rush them), & when i ask him if its ready, the idiot gives a cold look and murmurs to himself that my order is at the counter. When I went to the counter, he reads a wrong menu and asks if that is what I ordered. So much for thinking not to rush them in the first place. He doesnt even apologize for making me wait or not having made my order ready, takes the PHAV bread packet casually in front of me and goes to the kitchen, to start preparing it. I wanted to badly shout at him but he never came out after that knowing I was waiting at the counter. After another 15 mins, he came out and handed over the order to another person to hand it over to me and left back to the kitchen.. The PHAV bread was half toasted( just like his brain I guess) and had such a raw awful aroma. Dated 28th July 2016, this is for the bearded guy in black framed spectacles who wore a black shirt / t-shirt : JUST QUIT IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DO YOUR JOB! You are just a disgrace for other sincere people working in the place, if any. I really hope you get to see this!

This is an Indian Vegetarian Snacks place and you will always find a good indian population in here. They have an exhaustive menu however they are semi-lunch, snack, or dinner place. Dont expect full scale meals like in restaurants. Apart from combo items ( which are like mini lunch/dinner) you can enjoy traditional indian chat, sweets and tea. Their service is always consistent and I go their at least twice per week on my way to India Bazaar which is just next door to this place. The food is always at the same standard ( above average as per Indian standards) however pretty decent. I always find American and Chinese folks around eating here.

Nice people. but very disappointing food. The place looked run down enough to be an authentic indian dhabba (plastic chairs, dirty tables), but the food was a colossal disappointment. jira rice hardly had any cumin in it and was not warm and of poor quality (cheapest kind and not fresh). black lentil dhal soup was with just chilli hot, but not properly spiced. and chana massala was the worst and was simply just a brown mash of chickpeas with a lot of chilli pepper and nothing else. ghobbi (cauliflower) dish was ok. The rotti, and parantha were ok, and free chai is a nice treat (havent tasted it though).

Great value for money, if youre looking for pocket-friendly vegetarian Indian food that you can eat day after day. Weve been there so many times, that weve lost count. The tea, the chaat, the roti-subjis, the burrito-style wraps, compete deliciously with each other. Whats more, they can customize food to no onion/ no garlic versions. The place is always busy and Im not a bit surprised, considering their central location, right by an Indian grocery store. If youre looking for a classy ambience though, this isnt the place. This is for an indigenous local experience - focus on the food sorts.

Good affordable food. Shev puri was good but the rasmalai was not up to the mark. I was here with bunch of friend and most of them liked the food. Chai is complimentary. Had to add lot of sugar though. The place is relatively clean and enough seating for couple small groups. Friendly staff and quick service. Parking is limited as this place is close to new india bazaar and other stores. There is not much rush here but place is quite busy. Probably is a hangout place for college kids too as we saw many kids at restaurant.

For some reason there are places that cant maintain consistency (literally), we ordered Chole Bhature and samosas. Chole is heavily watered down, Stale, rotten & even the tamarind / Chiili chutneys are heavily watered down. Management : In case you think the quantity cooked a week before is not enough to serve the whole week pls dont mess up our food with adding water and serving stale. For doing these kind of practice in Food business its better to make money doing something else.

Would rate it 2/5 , normal food and the hospitality was OK. Water had to search. Food was like temple food when ordered for combo #1. Less quantity sufficient enough for myself but not sufficient for someone who is very hungry or expect very good food. Recommend going only if you are in area and want something very quick. I havent tried chats here.

0 stars! Been coming for a couple of years atleast.. found a strand of hair in the lettuce, told the person behind the counter and he didnt even care.. They lost a regular bcoz of this attitude..

I had the samosa chaat and rasmalai. I loved it. Though both of them were awesome, a little less prices would have made me very very happy. Anyways i will recommend it to all my friends.

It is a nice restaurant for chaat stuff. The service is good. But, it is very crowded on weekends and its difficult to even get a seat. Otherwise, the restaurant is good with tasty food.

One of the best chat places in bay area. Place may look little shabby, but food is good and cheap. Their service is fast and owner is friendly. Their chole-batura is stomach filling.

Good restaurant for lunch(typical vegetarian thali fare). Basic home style indian food. approx.~8$ for lunch thali. Fast service, good food with free chai/lassi. cant be beat.

Best chai ever! Great vegetarian food. We always go here for their amazing chaats, wraps and other great food. They could better on their seating area and customer service.
