You know those days when you're tired of everything? Thankfully, it makes you start from the ground up and reform your mentality regarding what your life is really made up of and those things and/or people you're not entitled to but have in your life. My gosh...what a tangent. We pre-ordered from Mehak of India for a birthday party, and all I can say is that they went above and beyond in terms of food, service, and prices. All the curries we got, including the Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chana Masala, and Palak Paneer, were exceptional. They gave generous portions and even threw in a complimentary curry. Thank you to Mehak of India for making our event even more special!

The butter chicken is to die for! Chicken melts in your mouth! One serving is enough to feed two people! Super affordable

Decided to try this place on a whim and wow, their butter chicken hits the spot! I had a nice hot lunch from here and I loved how the sauce was more on the creamier side. Their garlic naan was huge and soft which was another plus. The chicken was nicely tender as well and I'd rank this a great place for takeout!!

So far I've been here twice, and got the butter chicken wrap both times. The food is awesome. It's seriously the best restaurant in this mall, and there are a dozen here.

Service: The service was great. Went to pick up an order and the guy was super helpful. The estimated time for the call in order was on point. Food: the butter chicken was really good.. it was very buttery and creamy. The paneer tikka masala was very good as well. I really enjoyed the paneer and the way it was thinly sliced instead of cubed. Definitely recommend giving it a try! :)

my new favorite quick on the go indian food. As of recently my go to spot closed down, and I've been im search of one that had everything I wanted. And what I looked for is butter chicken (10/10) or chicken tikka masala. Aloo Samosa (10/10) different kinds of Naan. And my favorite "snack" is pani puri! Great portions for their price!! Did a pick up order, and food was still so good. For the butter chicken they do give you a good amount of chicken so it is balanced out with the tomato.

Speedy Service! Great Ambiance and I appreciate the workers in the front! Suk Div! THANK YOU!

Great food, friendly staff. My favorite part is about Mehak of India is that you can request spice level that works best for you. And the taste is always great whatever spice level you pick.

Got malai kofta and garlic naan as to-go. The food was ready in 10 minutes for pickup and prices were very reasonable. Delighted to find a new Indian restaurant nearby. Will be back to order more items.

So happy with this neighborhood family restaurant. Been coming here for a few years and my usual is so good I never venture off and try other things so unfortunately I've only tried 5 items on their menu. I always get the Butter Chicken which is very flavorful with smooth silky chicken that is never dry or over cooked. Then for a second dish, it's either the Aloo Gobi or Palak Paneer. Both are winners. I love the cheese cubes in the Palak Paneer with great texture and bouncy-ness to the bite. The Aloo Gobi with the potatoes and cauliflower soak up all that spice and flavor. The Naan or Garlic Naan is never dry and surprisingly reheats in the airfryer without drying out. I always get take out here and staff answering phone is always friendly and helpful. They don't always ask over the phone how spicy you want it and I don't always remember to tell them so unfortunately when I forget, the spice level is at a mild and I miss that kick. So don't forget to tell them how spicy you want it.

FINALLY!!!!! An ideal Indian spot. This place was absolutely FABULOUS. We got butter chicken, chicken tikka masala (both very spicy as we requested), vegetable samosas, garlic naan, and vegetable fried rice. Everything was absolutely perfect. The portions are very generous, it is really inexpensive, and the staff are very kind. This is the first place that actually made things spicy when we asked. I always have to beg places to make it as spicy as possible and they'll never do it. This place nailed it and the "very spicy" was perfect for us. I am SO HAPPY!!!! This will be our go-to place from now on.

Great Indian lunch buffet on the weekends for just $14.99--all you can eat! They offer three types of curry (tikka masala, butter chicken, and goat curry) along with fresh naan, rice, meat, lentils, etc. The place is small, but the service is excellent. While it may not be the best Indian food I've had, the quality is still solid. You really can't find this quantity of food for the price anymore. I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm craving Indian food!

Great Indian food at an appealing price point. We moved away from East SJ in 2020, but we keep coming back. We love the gobi aloo and the cauliflower dish! And I could drink a gallon of the mango Lassi!

We usually order food to go. I like their plum paneer, malai kofta, lychee paneer, and dal tadka. We ask for spicy as needed and they make the food decently spicy. They also make it mild for three kids as needed. I like their garlic naan as well. Service is quick and the location is easy to get to with plenty of parking.

Good food, limited options, but good taste. Didn't understand the buffet pricing options, where you need to pay for extra bread.

This place was delicious! We did a takeout order for 5 people under $100 with rice and a mango lassi. They have a $13 lunch special with 2 dishes, naan, and rice that was such a great deal. Will absolutely order again.

Great hole in the wall spot for cheap, tasty, authentic North Indian food. We tried the paneer tikka, plum paneer korma (an interesting taste!), and malai kofta. The naans were soft and delicious. We're definitely coming back, as the place is also cheaper than comparable places throughout the South Bay, making it an attractive option.

This place is so good I've been here quite a few times for their lunch special which is $12.99 you get two chicken dishes with different curries or vegetarian get a huge portion of rice and for big pieces of garlic naan!! This is a great value for lunch special and I could never finish it off because of portions are big! The food itself tastes so good and delicious I wish I could have taken pictures but I started tearing it up as soon as I got it. This is definitely a hidden gem that everybody should know about. If you Love Indian food come here you won't regret it.

Came here with a group of 5 for a cousins dinner night on a Friday evening at 6pm. We were the only ones dining in the restaurant until two people came in later in the meal after us and ordered wonderful-smelling tandoori chicken. They were accommodating to our big group and shifted the tables for us. We found the prices to be great considering normal meals in the Bay Area. We ate family-style and shared... Dahi sev puri - I was craving pani puuri and this was the closest thing to it on the menu. It was my cousins' first time trying it. It was like a cold, wet yogurt explosion in the mouth. Lots of sweet and tangy flavors here. I liked it but one was good enough for me since they're big, like it'd fill your whole mouth. It was a refreshing appetizer. Veggie samosas - Big sizes and flavorful filling. My favorite dip is the tamarind one. It also comes with a green mint chutney. Butter chicken - This was tasty. We ordered a mild-medium spice because one of our cousins has a low tolerance. We ordered hot sauce on the side that wasn't spicy at all. Anyway, this butter chicken went along well with the naan. Not the most addictive butter chicken I've had, but we generally enjoyed it. Bhindi masala - My favorite part of our whole meal! The Bhindi masala had great flavors and the okra texture was so good. I enjoyed it with the biryani and naan. Chicken biryani - Instead of rice, we ordered the biryani instead. I think it could've used more spices, but it went well with out other entrees, the bhindi masala and butter chicken. Garlic naan - We got two for our party and it was enough. They're quite big! It wasn't dry; it was soft and I liked the dispersion of the garlic on the bread. Aloo paratha - Along with our naan, this aloo paratha was enough bread for our party. The smoothness of the bread was delicious and I loved the texture. Mango lassi - Thick and not the freshest. However I almost always need to have it with an Indian meal, and it did okay with washing down the food and spices. The service was quick and friendly. I am glad this spot exists here in North SJ.
