B3boyz Dhaba - San Jose

One of the best South Indian buffet in San Jose/Santa Clara. Ambience, service and food was excellent. They served the food in tradition banana leaf, and the food quality was similar to what we get back home.Food: 5/5

This is the first time I had a INSTANT RICE in a restaurant, and 3 of them cost $20 LMAO. Yeah it’s not a typo, instant rice, the one from Safeway, add water and microwave for 3 mins and taste like shiiiii, $7. All other entrees are soooo little, 3 piece chicken thigh in a small bowl with butter masala, $19.The taste is ok to be honest, go order from them if you are RICH. Idk why lot of people dine in and order Togo there. Is that because I and my friends are not Indian so they gave us different things than everyone else?This restaurant is EPIC. So ridiculous?The instant rice really HIT ME HARD?Instant rice, no joke.

Only if you want $5.99 instant rice and $18.99 for 3 pieces of chicken. Please don’t waste your money there.Food: 1/5

Horrible atmosphere. Went in with an infant to dine in. As soon as we entered the restaurant it was super chilly and they denied to close the front door as their AC was not working. They never served water for like 20 mins while we were waiting and we had to ask the server for it. They never had what I wanted on the menu since it was listed as a special, and when asked the server had us order an alternative on clover and said he will update the correct order on his side. My order came to the table after 30 mins and guess what, the order was wrong since it was never updated as the server promised us.My correct order came 10 mins later and it was burnt. When told, the server said SORRY. It was a total disaster, never returning to this place.

So contradicting to the name “Dhaba”, this place serves one of the best South Indian meal I have had in the Bay Area. On weekends, do not miss their lunch buffet which is served on a banana leaf. Parotta is straight out of Madurai, so flaky and soft. Ambur Mutton biriyani is the best and fish curry is very good. It’s take a bit longer to get a table so be prepared to wait on a weekend, but it should be worth it.
