Gumagumalu - Fremont

We had the vegetarian Thali and Podi Dosa.Podi Dosa was fine but needed more potato. The chutney is made of peanuts like in Andhra. No coconut. So not the chutney that most Indians are used to.The Thali had one chapathi with multiple curries. Unfortunately, all the curries had too much salt and layer of oil floating for several of them.The ambiance is quite unimpressive including the entrance area.I do not recommend going to this restaurant.

Service is good but the food is average, paneer butter masala and malai kofta are same taste, biryani is not at all recommended.

The problem is wait time in the middle of the eating thali or breakfast buffet. They take lot of time to serve food. By the time they serve the food the cravings would die and you would feel unsatisfied with the meal. They pay less attention to you. The restaurant is pricey. A la carte items tastes good. It is mostly the same about the service. Food is good so I visited this place many times. The frequency of my visits to this place keeps on reducing. Today’s visit is after one month or so.Vegetarian options: They have Indian vegetarian dishes which includes curries, appetizers and biryani’s. They also have Vegetarian thali.Parking: Parking is free. The availability of parking depends on busy of the businesses in the complex. Sometimes it is hard to find the parking space.

We visited here on 09/17/2023. It was a very bad experience for us. We ordered a non veg thali and a biriyani. We wait almost 15 to 20 minutes get biriyani. They didn't serve a plate to eat and we explicitly asked for it. Again waited there for thali which was ordered by my husband. Meantime I stared eating biriyani. They didn't serve thali until I finished my biriyani. Then the lady who is taking care of orders came and asked how our food was. Then only she realized that we didn't get thali. We politely told her to cancel the order because we don't have time to wait for again. It was not crowded. May be a 5 family was there that time. But their service was very bad and she is the only person who is taking orders and serving food to table at that time. She is doing everything whatever she can. But as a customer, I will never visit this place again. It's only because I don't want to give my hard earned money to a place who doesn't know the basics of business. I only blame the owner of restaurant for what we experienced last week.

Bought Goat biryani from this store and the quantity they provided is not at all satisfactory. Don’t go to this store if you’re wishing to something more authentic. Meat tastes worse. It’s more like a refrigerated food. Please stop making customers stupid by calling this stinky food dum biryani.
