Masala Desi Cafe - Burlingame

We enjoyed vegan vegetable samosas, vegan veggie korma, and vegan chana masala, all of which were excellent. The vegan oat milk chai was just okay—not very well seasoned. Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful. I also ordered a takeout of idlis for a quick dinner. They were likely fresh at one point, but were reheated a bit too much. Overall, I would love to dine there again if I'm in the area (about 8 minutes south of SFO).

There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options available, and everything was delicious. They offer vegan veggie korma, vegan samosas, and vegan chili idli. Plus, there are numerous outdoor seating options!

The biryani was delicious, perfectly spiced, and made with fresh ingredients. It’s definitely the best Paneer Biryani in the peninsula!

I order from here all the time, and everything is truly fantastic. The burrito is a great fusion dish as well!

Butter chicken, garlic naan and chicken biryani is a must
