CHOWRASTA

We recently visited here, and it truly felt like a slice of Hyderabad right here in the Bay! Every dish had that authentic touch and homely warmth you rarely find these days. We tried the Mutton Haleem, Mutton Biryani, Chicken 65, Majestic Chicken, Butter Chicken, and Chicken Sticks and loved them all! *The mutton haleem was rich, hearty, and full of flavor. *Must try *The Hyderabadi biryani stood out with perfectly cooked rice, tender zabiha halal, and that unmistakable dum aroma. *Must try *Chicken 65 had soft, balanced flavoring not overpowering at all. *Majestic chicken instantly reminded us of Hyderabadi wedding dinners (so nostalgic!). *The butter chicken was creamy, buttery, and smooth exactly how it should be. *And those chicken sticks? Perfect starters crispy, juicy, and best enjoyed hot right out of the fryer with their dip. For desserts, the Apricot Delight was just uff, amazing!!! so well done, and the Fruit Trifle was equally good. We ended the meal with a cup of super Irani chai, and mango lassi which wrapped up everything perfectly. The restaurant has a simple, classic Hyderabadi ambiance, with both indoor and outdoor seating and great natural lighting. I also really appreciated the small prayer corner they've thoughtfully provided such a nice touch. Everything was clean, service was friendly, and overall hygiene was good too. Definitely visiting here again.

I had the best goat dum biryani in North America here, truly authentic Hyderabadi style. The rice is flavored with the perfect amount of masala and the meat is extremely tender. The food taste and quality is miles ahead than all other bay area restaurants and puts it in another league of its own.

Great, freshly made, delicious food. Majestic chicken and mutton mandi were awesome!

5/4/25 Sunday. Chicken majestic with roomali roti, chicken sticks all taste good. Mulberry shehdood taste OK. Paid $38.55 4/25/25 Friday live very close by & last night I noticed this newly opened restaurant. Looks hidden n it's not commercial location but front of kaiser hospital/emergency. Interior is very simple n limited menu. Prices r slightly higher. Tried Apricot delight, chicken sticks and to go mutton biryani. Paid $42.42, All taste very good except mutton biryani was OK (2 big bones with meat n 2 small pcs too dry). Thanks to Umar he recommend for Apricot delight. Will come back again n try more menu items.

Chowrasta in Fremont continues to impress with its unbeatable Hyderabadi flavors. The mutton biryani is always top-notch -- aromatic, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. It's easily one of the best you'll find in the Bay Area. What truly sets this place apart is the warmth of the experience. The beloved owner is incredibly humble and always takes time to chat whenever I visit, whether it's lunch or dinner. Today during my visit, owner graciously offered me Haleem to try -- and once again, it was pure heaven. Rich, smooth, and packed with authentic flavor. Delicious food, heartfelt hospitality, and the feeling of home -- Chowrasta is a gem you'll want to keep coming back to.
