We dined at Apna Chulha during a short trip to The Golden Gate. The host was kind and accommodating towards kids requests. Overall food was amazing, Butter Chicken is probably one of the best ones I have had in the USA. They also had Goat curry which was well done and tasty. Qty of food was also quite reasonable. Besides the 2 dishes, we also ordered naan, ice cream, dal fry and rice which was garnished with peas. Kids enjoyed the food and so did we. Will definitely visit again if we are in the area

I have to say that this is one of the better Indian food buffets I've visited in some time. This place is a hidden gem! The food is delicious and fresh, naan is warm and made to order, and the selection is great. Plus, they change their options each time so you get to try a wider range of dishes with a lot of vegetarian options than you might normally find in other places . The food has a wonderful depth of flavor thanks to a good amount of spices, but it's not overly seasoned. Everyone is really friendly and attentive. It's not very crowded and there's plenty of room. t the restaurant is a nice spot with a lovely interior. The chai was pretty good, though they do change the flavors. I'll definitely recommend and plan to return.

The only good thing about this place was their playlist. The food was average at best. Golgappa was disappointing, small, hard and tasteless. Also ordered chicken tikka masala, had lot of food coloring. Palak paneer and Yellow Dal were good. Regarding service, just 1 person was on the floor on a Sat night! Could do better.

Dropped by for a Sunday buffet. The restaurant is spacious and well lit, well decorated. There was one waiter who was very courteous and welcoming, and gave us free masala chai! The buffet overall has several good vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. My favorites were the chicken curry, potato-vegetable curry and naan. There are not a ton of options, but certainly enough to sample a variety. Dessert was on point - gulab jamun and kheer were fantastic. Would recommend. Price point is very reasonable $18-19

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I definitely would! We ordered chicken tikka masala and hyderabadi chicken and both were delicious! Love-love-loved their garlic naan too! Will keep coming back to this place for their tikka masala many times. The service was so nice and offered us complimentary rice puddings which were really good Very lovely staff, very good food! Highly recommend 🥘
