Off the Record - Fremont, California

Casual hangout place. There are some good vegetarian appetizers and entrees. There was only one vegan entree on the menu, but on our request the chef made a delicious vegan vegetable kurma. The contrails were very good and staff was very helpful. I would love to see more vegan entrees.

First time here but we are pleasantly surprised.
Butter chicken and goat fry biryani are both super tasty!! We had some naan to dip butter chicken gravy, and it's out of this world delicious. R.K was really nice to us, taught us how to mix the sauce properly, and offered us an extra side of naan. Will definitely come back for more. 🙂

First time visited this place on a weekend and all tables were occupied. Patio seating was cozy and comfortable equipped with heaters for chilly nights. I don't drink but my friend enjoyed the cocktails here and all dishes we ordered were good.

I'm so sad I even have to make this review because I had loved this place until now. I ordered 2 butter chicken, one for me & one for my kids.. my kids ate theirs but when I opened mine, there was a ROACH in the food. At first I thought it was hair or something until I picked jt up with my fork. DISGUSTING!!! I did call the health department and I will be returning for my refund today. NEVER EAT HERE!!!!!

Awesome starter.. if you like typical Indian starters, this is the place. I had hard time to get nice peanut masala. This place has the awesome one. We order at lease 20 starters veg n non-veg included. All were great, however Chicken Ghee roast, Goat Roast, Chicken 65, Shrimp Fry and Vijayawada Biryani was awesome. Very cost effective and great service. Must visit.

We visited this place on 23rd December 2024 at around 7 PM PST. Apart from the very subpar food, the person serving the food crossed the line asking inappropriate questions. It greatly affected our overall mood and felt the great urge to instantly leave, but we did not want the reprehensible and callous behavior of the waiter affect our rare family time. Even today ( Jan 28th 2025 ) a month later, we still remember the incident and wish that the server somehow has a change of mind to be courteous to the patrons they serve. Overall, I will surely not recommend this place to anyone. Visit at your own risk, if it is your last resort.

First time going there in person to sit and enjoy the dinner after few years of picking up my order. The food and drinks came as per our choice and extremely fresh. The service and food was exceptional. Went there with my teenage son who's a picky eater and another friend who's the same..both of them were amazed with the flavors and decided that this is their number one choice in Fremont from now on.

We wanted to spend some quality time with our close friend family on Saturday afternoon for lunch in Fremont so thought of a restaurant which we have not yet visited, has covered outdoor seating space , good food , kid friendly & not too far.... so after doing a lot of search we came across this restaurant glad we got the chance of trying it out.

This restaurant food is from Southern Indian specifically from Andhra which is catered more towards spicy cuisine.... So please let them know of ur spice tolerance level mild/medium they might consider it.... For us most of us have excellent spice tolerance so we enjoyed it....

First thing first , I would like to give a huge shoutout to Karan who took care of us exceptionally ... he is an excellent bar tender!!!!! He listened to our preference & tailor made our drinks exactly as per our likings we all enjoyed our cocktails & mock tails. We loved the Old fashioned so much that we couldn't resist giving multiple orders of that plus Karan made some more cocktails which are not there on the menu .....

We started with few appetizers- Fish fry, Goat roast, Shrimp Fry which was superb we didn't even know when it came & disappeared as we were enjoying cocktails & chatting ... so by popular demand we reordered the appetizers again which we enjoyed even more the second time.... I can't believe how tender the goat pieces were & the spice in which it was cooked was very addictive... I am drooling right now as I am writing this review....!!!! I will go back for that goat(mutton) in a heartbeat!!!! So sorry I couldn't take any food pics this time since I was busy catching up with friends but will surely post some pics next time which will be soon I bet....

We also ordered Punugulu ( bite size pakoras) from the veg appetizer, we wanted the kids & everyone to enjoy the non spicy appetizer. The deep fried batter is made of soaked raw rice, lentils along with other spices & served with peanut chutney. This is so addictive I can finish the whole dish by myself!!!!

For entree we ordered the Andhra Fish curry, Country Chicken Curry & Chicken Tikka Masala which was good too.... Only thing is we wanted the fish curry to be more spicy & tangy this is how this specific dish is suppose to be & chicken curry too was toned down in spice... would like to have more heat to the dish ( more spicy) .

Service was very attentive, we loved the drinks & appetizers will definitely come back for that !!! Since the outdoor seating area was empty during lunch we really enjoyed it . We are planning to come again in the evening!!! Overall we loved the whole experience.
