Raunak

Raunak really had a lot of raunak (very well lit; Indian style super bright lights; place felt lively). Food was really yummy and decent proportion. We ordered vegetarian items: Dal Makhani, Chole Bhature, Paneer Sizzler, Vada Pav, Paneer Tilka masala, Palak Papdi Chaat and bread assortment. Chole Bhature was the star dish for us. Palak Papdi chaat was the only dish that wasn’t wow. Everything else was really delicious. In the end, you get yummy saunf and freshener varieties to taste too!

Amazing vibe and superb ambience of this place and we have came for the first time. The interior is beautifully designed, even the small details are impressive. We’ll definitely come back and bring our family and friends. Chole bhature was outstanding, something I’ve never had before and absolutely the best. Gulab Jamun, Chicken Tikka Masala with Naan were very good. Fish Pakora was on softer side for our taste, as we prefer it more crispy and flavorful. Overall good experience. 2nd time: We ordered Matar Pulao a few days ago, and unfortunately, our experience was not good. In one single box, we found an excessive amount of whole spices — especially cardamom and around 35–40 pieces of black pepper, even in the chicken curry and kadhi pakoda. It was very uncomfortable to eat, as almost

Raunak is such a fantastic addition to Milpitas for anyone who loves North Indian food. The menu is extensive and really captures Delhi-style flavors while still feeling fresh and modern. We started with the Palak Patta Chaat and Gobi Manchurian — both were perfectly balanced and full of flavor. The Amritsari Fish Pakora was crispy and well-seasoned, and the veg and non-veg grill platters were a great way to try a variety of items at once. For mains, the Paneer Lababdar, Malai Kofta, and Chicken Tikka Masala were rich, comforting, and paired beautifully with the onion kulcha and garlic naan. The Chicken Biryani was aromatic and cooked just right. Desserts were the perfect ending — Moong Dal Halwa, Rabdi, and Gulab Jamun were all delicious, and the mukhwas was a nice touch after the meal.

Finally got to try Raunak! Nice comfortable place - brightly lit and attentive service. We tried the Stuffed Mushroom Tikka, Aloo Gobhi, Lamb Korma, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan and plain rice. The mushrooms first and delighted us with its loud sizzling presentation. It looked and tasted divine! The other dishes were a little slow to arrive - the Aloo Gobhi was sooooooo delicious- might be the best I’ve had in the area… not watery and a little soupy as I’ve had from several other spots. The butter chicken was a little sweeter than I’m accustomed to but I couldn’t stop dipping my naan into it! So glad to have this high quality Indian right in my neighborhood. Can’t wait to return and try more dishes!

Food and attention to detail is amazing here. Madhuri and her staff made is feel welcome and taken care of. We have specific requests and all were followed perfectly. I can’t wait to try everything on the menu. The achari paneer tikka was the best paneer my wife & I ever had in our life. I really enjoyed the presentation and taste of the veg galouti kabab. For those that say service is slow, you have to give them some grace. They are a fairly new restaurant with a lot of business. It’s hard to wait on so many tables, get the food, and take care of door dashers. I have 2 areas of improvement. It would make the experience much better if they had heaters on. There are many glass panes which all the cold in the building. The 2nd is to increase the music volume. Because of the dome too, c
