They have great vegetarian options and the food is pretty good. The deconstructed samosas and paneer tikka masala are great but the portion sizes are pretty small for the price. Our naan was also very burnt. This is a casual sort of place but the service took way longer than it should. It took almost an hour between ordering and getting our food.

We came here for dinner, ordered gol gappe, Tikka chance on me, tacos, desi chicken bowl, pepper chicken w. Paratha. The appetizers were good but the entrees lacked a bit of flavor. Especially the desi chicken bowl. The chicken was surprisingly flavorless. The rice doesn’t have any flavor either. The salad doesn’t have any dressing so it was bland.

This is casual dinning place. Came here based on recommendation from a friend. Would recommend a visit if you are in the neighborhood. The location is wonderful, right around downtown Campbell which is usually bustling with energy and joy. Taste a Chance (modified version of bruschetta) is worth exploring. Great ambience, place to stop by for some quick eats. We had Pani Poori, Chocolate Lava Cake, Chicken Pepper Curry with Paratha, Bhel Poori. The Lava Cake and Taste a Chance were great.

This place has a really nice modern yet casual vibe. The food is a delicious fusion of Indian flavors mixed with global influences. I loved the Tikka Chance on me. Their Gabru bar has amazing cocktails as well! Highly recommend their Fundoo Mule. The servers are super friendly too!

Amazing taste and nice presentation. Loved their take on desi dishes. Bites and appetizers are okay and felt let down. Entrees are really yummy and unique. There are a lot of vegetarian options on the menu. I might come back to try more. The price is not that crazy. If you are expecting a typical desi restaurant with a standard menu and portion sizes with extreme spices, you may not connect to the out of the box presentation they offer.

My experience resonates with that of most reviewers here. Service is really slow, kitchen backed up for up to 75 mins. They would forget about people’s orders. We observed this as soon as we got there so we just ended up ordering drinks and appetizers. Tried the 3 flights item on the menu called Tashan, less quantity for the price but good taste. Drinks we decent too. Want to try more items on the menu but not sure if I can wait that much for my food.
