Customer Reviews
Gujarati food. I got the millet roti plate. It was very mediocre. Served hot but the two curries were boring. And small quantity of those as well. Maybe other dishes are better.
Jay Bharat used to be a great place to have decent Gujarathi food. We have been to this place many times before the pandemic and loved their food. Alas, the good experience stays in my mind as just distant memories. During a recent visit (our first time post pandemic), we were shocked by the changes to food quality, food quantity (small portion sizes) and the increased prices. The thali portions and items have drastically changed for the worse. Food items tasted bland mostly. Utensils are mostly the kind that we use and throw. This creates a very bad experience particularly for the Thali. Fried items such as the Pettis were over fried. (See pics). Green chutney used were the precanned chutney bought from Indian stores and not freshly made. This had artificial colors as can be seen in the
Been here twice.Vegetarian Gujarati food.Food is definitely good. Many dishes have sweetish tinge. Neat ambience. Pay first and eat concept. Limited quantities. Only issue is pricing and hospitality. All dishes are fairly overpriced compared to other Bay Area restaurants. They even charge $1.5 for extra sambar. Price would be the only reason I would think twice to go here.
Visited this place to experience Gujarati food but it is not worth the hype! We tried dabeli that was okay 6/10. The covering of puranpoli was thick and chewy… something that I did not expected. Chole curry was tasting uncooked and lacking spices. It felt like boiled chole are mixed with tomato purée and served as is. We also tried undhiyu….this was worst and nowhere close to undhiyu! No Surti papdi (which is a must have), no methi muthia. It shouldn’t be called undhiyu in the first place!
This is a good place to enjoy authentic Gujrathi cuisine. The Undhiu and Dabeli were delicious and satisfying, with rich flavors and fresh ingredients. The service was courteous and attentive, and the ambiance was cozy and inviting. The only thing that could be improved was the Shrikhand Puri, which was a bit bland for our taste. However, we still had a great time and would recommend this place to anyone who wants to try something different and tasty.
