MY FIRST LOVE is SOYA CHAAP and this was the first place where I had my first in the bay! Such a cool bar vibes with the much-needed indian touch. This place is bustling on weekends but I'd say worth the wait given how delicious the food is!!

Their chaaps are amazing. I have tried almost all of their chaaps and must say they are soft, tender and juicy. Cant say much about service and ambience as i have only ordered takeout.

Food and service were super good! Portions are definitely small though. Butter chicken with naan-4/5 more tomato-y than im used to, but still good! I wish there was more naan so i could dip it in the sauce. Tandoori soya chaap -5/5 delicious! It has a creamy, nutty flavor and the texture was really nice. It has a small kick which is barely noticeable but nice.

Food was good. Enjoyed their garlic naan and butter chicken. Chicken wrap was tasty. They even offer burgers and milkshakes for those of you less adventurous. Not pricey so definitely good value here. Casual ambiance. Located in a busy shopping plaza with Safeway as the anchor store. Parking lot on site.

My family and I have been meaning to try this place and we are so happy we got the chance to eat here! It was a really cool sports bar vibe with some interesting hip hop Bollywood or South Asian type music (not really sure, but it was really cool). We ended up ordering: -Chicken Quesadilla which was so delicious! They were juicy pieces of chicken, spicy jalapeños, onions, and served with a creamy sauce. This is actually exactly how I like to make these at home, but these were better than what I usually make. The only thing I would want to change would be to make the sauce spicier. -Butter Chicken Sliders was better than we expected! We expected it to be good, but it was even better! It was juicy, crispy, and the perfect balance of butter chicken sauce to bun ratio. -Chicken Finger Kids meal was a regular kids meal, nothing special, but it came with a really big portion of chicken and fries which was awesome! We really loved this place and it also served alcohol which made it even better!

I love the vegetation machurian burger in this place. Was longing for it after I had it around a month or 2 ago. Finally had it again. My friends like like the soya chaaps here a lot. A friend ordered chicken zinger burger and didn't like it as much.

Surprisingly not a lot of people know about this gem. One of the very few restaurants in the bay area who offer good Indian fusion options. The menu is really interesting and there are so many different things to try here. We loved Soya Chaaps, Sliders and tacos here. The food is tasty and the serving size is good too. The best thing about this place is that they are open till late so it is a good option to grab a bite after an evening movie show or other hangouts. Service is pretty quick. They also have beers on tap by the way.

TLDR : Great concept, nice fusion food options and drink selections, good taste and ambiance Tried the Urban Kitchen and as it came highly recommended by friends. Really loved their take at a bar setting combing the Indian food and beverage offerings. We had tried the soya chaaps earlier and really one of my favorites in the bay. This time we tried their Kulchas and Noodle Burgers. The kulchas were good - not the best I've had and chola could've been more spicy and flavorful. The noodle burgers - veggie and chicken were good. Nice combination which we were skeptical off but turned out nice.
