Mehak of India

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.

after a long panini haitus, the lunch buffet at Mehak of India is back baby! for less than $20 you get some of the best tandoori chicken, butter chicken, paneer, and lamb curry in the south bay. the buffet is two tables, one with mains the other with sides, garnishes, and sweets. there's infinite naan and chai tea. please use a new plate everytime you go up tho. the parking is super ample and the host are kind and attentive, and even if all that wasnt the case, the food here is flavorful and filling. the place itself is the second building, its new and super clean with a very clean restroom. the only thing i wasnt a fan of was the new pakora, preferring the veggie to the paneer macaroon looking one and the veg mix, i wish they had the palak or saag from before, that being said, i look forward to coming back here again! this was my favorite indian buffet since i found out that they local source much of what's on the menu.

I order from here like once a week. My roommate and I will get a couple curries to-go and eat them for the next few days with rice or naan. My favorites are the palak paneer and butter chicken. They also have great wraps, which are ideal for when you want something quicker you can eat on the go.

My husband and I hit their NEW LUNCH BUFFET today (Saturday and Sunday only), and were quite pleased. The buffet opened in the other location 2 doors down that was never used; a dirty and musty space that the previous owner never put to good use. The space is redecorated/remodeled and the buffet was generous, but small. 3 meat/3 veggie selections with desserts, free Chai tea, cold water, etc. NOTHING was very spicy (which I appreciated), and the food was hot, well presented and the buffet area clean (with no drips, splashed food, congealed gravy, etc). Everything was sparkling clean, including the bathroom down the hall (which also looked remodeled). The service is friendly with refilling of water, asking 'how' the food was, etc. Granted this is the 2nd week of the buffet, but we will return. The original owner sold the place to a family member and they are doing a great job and continuing and improving on great Indian food.

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.

The food and the service are spectacular. Best food I've ever had. Sooooo yummy. Six stars.

Came there after watching the Ramayana down the street. This was exactly what I was hoping for. Some of the best tikka masala that I've ever had. The people working were so sweet and accommodating. Best food I've had in a long while. Will definitely be back and recommend to anyone who will listen. Wish there were 6 stars to give!

It was our first time and wow, the service the food the environment was awesome. Must try this restaurant and I rate it 10 out of 10.

Under new management. Thankfully the food tastes the same. Except may be the chef forgot the salt on the briyani. No big deal.

Family run restaurant serving great food at reasonable prices. We tried papdi chaat, matar paneer & garlic naan and they were all delicious. Definitely going back and trying the chicken curries.

Hidden Gem!!! I came for the lunch and their specials were really so good! The shop is inside a massive plaza with a bunch of parking. There was a decent amount of seating and it was not busy at all. Manager was amazing and service was awesome! Food made to order and took about 10-15min. Togo order: 9/10 Garlic Naan $4 - Fresh, warm, airy, and most importantly filled with garlic! 10/10 Butter Chicken $12 - Rich, creamy, and flavorful! Chicken chunks were tender and portion was really good! 10/10 Tandoori Chicken $11- x3 thigh and x4 drumsticks. Juicy and tender chicken meat! The char from clay oven added good flavor. Goes really well with their green and tamarind sauces! 8/10 Mango Lassi $5 - Creamy and thick consistency. mango flavor was solid. Pretty good overall.

Awesome gobi manchurian 10/10 Awesome aloo paratha 10/10 Awesome paneer paratha 10/10 Tea is out of the world,wah wah,Harry g

When it comes to choosing between quantity or quality, Mehak of India finds a way to do both. To start, this was my first time visiting and the cashier was incredibly friendly and accommodating. He gave me suggestions and was just overall super hospitable. The other cashier also kept checking in on us while our food was cooking, asking for the desired spice level and making sure the dishes were being made with our requested adjustments. The food itself? Incredible. The prices here are SO low when compared to some of the other Indian places in San Jose, especially for how much food there is! I'm not going to name names but an Indian place I normally frequent charges $16 for the tandoori chicken, which comes with one whole leg (drumstick & thigh), while this place charged around $11 for three whole legs (3 thighs and drumsticks). The chicken was perfectly seasoned and so juicy! I also ordered the butter chicken which came in a cute little pot, which at first seemed a bit on the smaller side, but boy was I wrong. It came with so much chicken and curry, and it even lasted longer than the naan did. Overall this place is incredible as far as the pricing, flavor, and hospitality. 10/10 would recommend. It's a little drive from where I live (25 minutes) but I'd make the trip any day to taste this again.

Great food served by a wonderful family. Home style North India cooking. A real gem. Place is simple and the food is good. Glad to have this one Indian restaurant in this part of town.

Great food. No overpowering spices but enough to make your mouth water. will visit again.

Recently did a catering order with them. Food was very good and helped us setup the serving too.

I order Tandoori chicken for a small gathering.. nobody can beat their price and quality.

I have to say, this is the best Indian takeout I've had in San Jose. This was my first time trying it. I ordered: Vegetable Samosas Plain/Mint/Boondi Raita/Cucumber Raita Chicken Tikka Masala Garlic Naan The taste is perfect. The portions are very generous for the price. The takeout process was quick and on time. I am extremely impressed overall. Every item was delicious.

very nice place to eat indian food. best shop in the market. i highly recommended this restaurant. thank you

Great food! I always do take out! They do get busy in the evening. Butter chicken and chilli chicken sometimes can be a hit or miss.. I guess depends on how busy they are.

Definitely my go-to India spot. Staff is friendly and food is good. Would recommend the Paneer Tikka Masala and some Garlic Naan, great comfort food that always hits the spot.

Great service, family owned. I love this place. This review is long overdue. Best masalas on the planet for vegetarians and carnivores alike. We've only dined there once, as it's small and always packed, and I have a large family. So I pick it up and eat it at home. It is my go-to Indian restaurant. Thanks guys!

We ordered from here through Door Dash. We ordered Chicken Biryani, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, Vegetable Samosas, and a side of Jeera Rice. We absolutely LOVED everything we ordered. I've tried Butter Chicken from other locations in the San Jose area, and nothing can beat Mehak of India's Butter Chicken! Hubby really enjoyed the Chicken Biryani and drizzled the yogurt sauce on top. The Garlic Naan was cooked perfectly and seasoned generously. The Samosas were good, not the best I've tried. I think we were just too full after eating everything else to really enjoy the Samosas. The portions are pretty huge here. For what we ordered, this was enough for two meals. The fill up the containers to the maximum capacity! I've came here for pickup before. It's a cute little restaurant with some seating for people who want to eat in. With all things said, this is our favorite Indian restaurant. The menu is sooooo big, we definitely wanna explore what other food they have to offer!

Butter chicken and garlic naan. 6pm on a Saturday. Tasted great as usual. But instantly had a tummy ache. Not the first time so had to drop a review. Edit: you know, on second thought my review was unfair. It was probably the spice as the business owner said. I just ate it too fast probably, as I normally do when I order food from here. It is very tasty.

first Time coming to this restaurant. We Ordered to go. We ordered the tandoori chicken and it was great! It was flavorful and it was savory. The next time I come back we will definitely dine in!

This place is by far my favorite Indian food restaurant in the entire bay area. The owner is so kind and respectful, the portions are huge, the food is delicious - I love everything about it! Have gotten take out and eaten in and all times the food is the same high quality and large portions.

Wow!!! What a gem!! Excellent food and service see before and after photos. Nothing else to say. Highly recommended this family business!!!! Definitely will be back again.

Second time visit. My favorite Indian cuisine!!! Tons of meat in curry bowl. Prices are sosososo much reasonable. Definitely try Tandoori Chicken, so tender. Make sure you try butter chicken curry, so flavorful. Garlic naan is the best option to order with curry.!

If you are craving for a good chicken tikka masala, you gotta try this place! The portions are great and the price is very reasonable for this area. Inside the restaurant is not big, but has 6-7 tables. Baigan Bharta and Chicken Tikka Masala were really good.

The food always hits the spot, have been here multiple time and am always amazed at the quality, quantity and service for the food. Love the mom and pop feel to it. Tandoori chicken comes out sizzling, just look at that sizzling steam!

The butter chicken wraps are amazing !!! I definitely recommend coming here and make sure you come with an empty stomach cuz the food is super filling!! The lamb samosas are so good and seasoning is amazing I highly recommend!!!!!

The owner hospitality is very good. We were late, still the owner took the order for dine in and did not interrupt untill we were done. It was beyond the closing timing. Food is also Amazing. Inexpensive when compared to other restaurants. Quality and Quantity are more than beyond. One of the underrated restaurant with quality food. Will visit more often here. Must try. 5 Stars.

Wow! This place has AMAZING curry! Absolutely A+! I used to live in London, and it is hard in the Bay Area to find curry as good as there, but I have found it! The samosas were light and crunchy with a little bit of heat. The two main veggie dishes that we got (palak paneer and the yellow dal) we fantastic. But the star of the show was the garlic naan- sooooo delicious. I cannot wait to return!:)
