Sri Venkatesh Bhavan, Pleasanton CA

Food is so good, and prices are excellent! Staff can be a bit slow at times, and it gets very crowded when the weather is rainy. Overall though an excellent restaurant! I even came here for my birthday <3

For those who aren't familiar with south Indian cuisine, order a Masala dosa, and be prepared to eat with your hands! You tear off a piece of dosa and dip it in curry/chutney. I also recommend the iddyappam kurma

Take away was stale. When I called up to complain, the receptionist said "sometimes it happens", indicating they are aware that they are serving stale and yet don't care to fix it! Disgusted! I wanted to file a complaint with the food and safety department but didn't. If someone else does, I can totally see why!

Best food, quality and quantity. Must try veg biryani, punugulu, quick thali etc.almost tried half the menu and loved everything. I would highly recommend this restaurant

I had been to this place for dinner. The service is pathetic. I live in Atlanta. I am visiting here. These guys should come to Indian restaurants in Atlanta and learn. They do not know difference between gobi n veg manchurian. Both looked n tasted same. The thali had a spoiled curry. When mentioned, the so called chef mentioned it is good and serving others same. STAY AWAY!

Food we loved the food came super fast even though the place was super busy the lady taking our order seemed a bit rude kind of mean actually but the rest of the crew seemed real nice

Food was good but service is not good.i ordered food but it was missing and the person who took order didnt understand anything until i spoke in hindi. Atlast i received my order after 45mins.

Feels like home made food.nice and tasty.thalis best option.fills your tummy and satisfied.that's it wat else v want

Horrible service.
We arrived here and could place an order only after 25mins and the food comes after 25mins more.
The waiters come looking for table numbers as if they have entered the restaurant for the 1st time.
Even water comes to the table after asking for it for 5times.
The 2 stars i gave is purely for the food as it was nice.
Very very bad service.

Food was delicious. Really spicy though. Ordered a Hyderabad thali off the chalkboard menu. Apparently Hyderabad is really spicy, Madras is spicy, and Bombay is not as spicy. As the Hyderabad was really spicy.

Delicious South Indian food. Many choices. Friendly staff. On special occasions, there are all in one plate with a multitude of delectable dishes.

Well prepared vegetarian food from the rich and tasty Indian cuisine. The is an ideal restaurant for a good time with a group of people and tasty tasty lunch. Enjoy the coffee too at the end: it is very good!

Good place for Indian Vegetarian food. Orders received with low waiting time. Good taste, place clean and maintained.

I have been here many times. It is a place frequented by many who crave for good South Indian dishes. They have some good variety there

This place used to be my best vegetarian option for quite some time. Recently the quality of food has been all downhill from there. Luckily they do not have much competition from any vegetarian places near by. So they are still in business.

Food is ok, chutneys are close to watery consistency and sambhar was more like lentils. Service is good.

They do not respect your order. We had clearly told them no onions. But they somehow put it. If they are not able to make it without onion, it should be simply stated.
Other than that, food is good, but they are not good for food with restrictions.

Under new management, service is much better. Food quality also increased. People serving food can be a little more clean and friendly!

I like the set dosa and butter dosa. Kids like mango lassi. Chutneys are good. Food service is usually quick. #dosa #food

Delicious.chappathi kurma, iddly sambar, Singapore noodles, Malaysian noodles etc. Tasty if you like spicy food.

This is the place to eat if you are looking at eating authentic south Indian food that is tasting super and has no ingredients that will harm your gut.this is for good tasting food rather than good looking food.the staffs are amazing too and very helpful.pretty good value for money.
