Super tasty food.It takes more time For order to be ready but its worth waiting as freshly cooked and tasty food is served.Would suggest to place pick-up and order in advance to save waiting Time.Must try item is Dabeli!Also, Chiku (Sapodilla) Shake was nice.

Ive been eating at this deli for 5+ years and Ive always loved it, until the owners retired and kids started running the place and everything changed. The prices are the same but the portions are WAY smaller, especially with the salads. The quality of the sandwiches has gone way down. I went and got a gyro and there was no cucumber or tomato at all! The owners knew me well and always got my order perfect. After today I will not be going back...what a bummer.

I had the #1 (Turkey with pesto) on toasted sourdough and it was both delicious and filling. Family has meatball sandwich and Turkey and Jack and enjoyed them as well. Highly recommend!

By Far best vadapav and Dabeli in USA. I have been searching good indian snacks and this is first place where my food craving for Dabeli and Vadapav satisfied. MUST TRY. Their Anjeer shake is also really good. in addition the aged couple handling the store is very nice and honest.

Update: this place is all renovated and with a bigger menu and new owner. I am grateful the hero dishes ‘vadapav’ and ‘dabeli’ are still on menu.If you are a Dabeli or Vada pav lover, it is a must visit place.We had spicy Paneer Panini too. The bread was just too good.Mocha Frappe is a perfect mumbai style cold coffee.Highly recommend this. Hosts are friendly and welcoming.

Food and service are a solid 10/10. The quality, the presentation, and the kindness from the owners make this place a regular staple at this point!

Healthy portion sizes. Good prices. Quality ingredients. Interesting selection of sandwiches. Friendly staff/owners?Possibly one time issues - sourdough roll too dense. Fillings a little too cold.

Quaint and Clean place. We ordered and dined in- Vada Paav- Dabeli- Bombay Chicken Sandwich- Grilled Veggie Sandwich(#9) with Pesto- Anjeer Shake(Fig)Courteous Owner. Great suggestions .I will be back for sure.Maybe you could price the vada paav and dabeli for a 2 piece plate.Hope you get Mint/Cilantro chutney in your sauce/dressing collection. Maybe you can get Bombay sandwich in your assortment.Anjeer shake was awesome . Hope to see some more unique shakes like sitaphal.Overall a great experience . Store needs some organization.

Review №16

We had Dabeli, Paneer Pesto Sandwich and a Chicken sandwich with Bombay masala. Everything was really good! Loved the taste.Dabeli here is for sure the best Dabeli in the Bay area.The owners were really sweet. Would definitely come back here for more Dabelis and to try other sandwiches

The food is disgusting now, you should’ve never bought the business from those Indian people, trash food now and the place lost its originality. Just give up this food is never gonna be “Indian” again. You ruined it. If I could give it 0 stars I would

This place is very good but the service is not good very slow maybe they need to hire more people 20 minute for a sandwich is ridiculous

I had a bombay chicken sandwich here. Wife and Husband are maintaining this Cafe. They are from India and they are very friendly and also take good care of their customers. For instance they helped me very much in deciding which sandwich suits the best to my taste. Coming to Bombay chicken sandwich it tastes a little spicy but worth to give it a try. I liked it and hope everyone else too. P.S. it is a cold sandwich, they have only cold sandwich i guess. Thank you🙂

Refreshingly different menu from any deli or sandwich place you’ve been to! A cosmopolitan mix of Mumbai, Middle East, Mediterranean, and Gujarat cuisines. The menu has something for everyone. And you can enjoy most stuff as wraps, footlongs, or paninis.I had a Mumbai Spicy Chicken wrap and it was tender, juicy and dripping with Hemant’s magic sauce.Hemant is a great owner who takes pride in his culinary skills and will recommend just the right thing for your taste and mood.

I stopped in here for a quick sandwich when passing through and I was impressed. They were really, super friendly and the food was exactly what I had wanted. Everything was fresh, and you could tell they take pride in their shop. The bread is fresh daily and honestly, Im still thinking about it. Ill have to find another reason to pass by again soon!

It looks like a chain from the outside, but its really more like a mom and pop place inside. I like the variety of subs/sandwiches displayed on their menu. My order was processed quickly, staff was very pleasant. Price is certainly reasonable. Id recommend this shop to someone who doesnt want to go one of the large chains but its still craving a good sandwich.

They serve the ultimate dabeli in the entire Bay Area, it is exactly same as we get in Mumbai and Kutch. I had dabeli here during my trip to the Bay Area all the way from Seattle. I’m seriously taking some togo with me on my flight back to Seattle.Also they have jain dabeli, at part with regular dabeli. The owners are very friendly and so kind, lovely.

Great food and friendly ownersWe got the dabeli (panini style) and Punjabi masala panini. Both were really tasty and well made.Have not tried other stuff, so can’t comment on that, but would definitely recommend the place for their dabeli. Probably amongst the best I have had in the Bay Area.

It’s great little deli for fresh food. Owner is Indian so he makes Dabeli(Indian burger) which is awesome. Paneer Panini, avocado veggie sandwich and all smoothies are pretty yummy. Although it has limited vegetarian options, it’s my go to place for brunch 😃

Very happy to find this place while looking for a deli that wasnt the poor quality of Subway or a supermarket, they are so rare these days. Super friendly, detail-oriented, mom and pop staff with great food and too low prices. We had a paneer pannini and tuna on sourdough with potato/mac salad, a Coke and strawberry smoothy.

Its one of those moments you have when you were looking for a rock, and instead found a diamond. The sandwich menu was exhaustive, and looked creative as well. My Turkey sandwich with the Dutch Crunch bread was just amazing. I would say this would even beat Ikes sandwiches. Just happy I live closeby. :)
