Gujarati food. I got the millet roti plate. It was very mediocre. Served hot but the two curries were boring. And small quantity of those as well. Maybe other dishes are better.

Jay Bharat used to be a great place to have decent Gujarathi food. We have been to this place many times before the pandemic and loved their food. Alas, the good experience stays in my mind as just distant memories.
During a recent visit (our first time post pandemic), we were shocked by the changes to food quality, food quantity (small portion sizes) and the increased prices.
The thali portions and items have drastically changed for the worse. Food items tasted bland mostly. Utensils are mostly the kind that we use and throw. This creates a very bad experience particularly for the Thali.
Fried items such as the Pettis were over fried. (See pics). Green chutney used were the precanned chutney bought from Indian stores and not freshly made. This had artificial colors as can be seen in the attached pics for dahi puris. Bajra rotis were just ok.
Hope the restaurant owners improve the experience and food by fixing these issues.

Been here twice.Vegetarian Gujarati food.Food is definitely good. Many dishes have sweetish tinge. Neat ambience. Pay first and eat concept. Limited quantities. Only issue is pricing and hospitality. All dishes are fairly overpriced compared to other Bay Area restaurants. They even charge $1.5 for extra sambar. Price would be the only reason I would think twice to go here.

Visited this place to experience Gujarati food but it is not worth the hype! We tried dabeli that was okay 6/10. The covering of puranpoli was thick and chewy… something that I did not expected. Chole curry was tasting uncooked and lacking spices. It felt like boiled chole are mixed with tomato purée and served as is. We also tried undhiyu….this was worst and nowhere close to undhiyu! No Surti papdi (which is a must have), no methi muthia. It shouldn’t be called undhiyu in the first place!

This is a good place to enjoy authentic Gujrathi cuisine. The Undhiu and Dabeli were delicious and satisfying, with rich flavors and fresh ingredients. The service was courteous and attentive, and the ambiance was cozy and inviting. The only thing that could be improved was the Shrikhand Puri, which was a bit bland for our taste. However, we still had a great time and would recommend this place to anyone who wants to try something different and tasty.

A proper veg restaurant for Satvik vegetarian food. I ordered Roti Shaka instead of Rotli and was wondering why Bajra rotis are tasting like Chapati! After enquiry I got to know! Glad I did this mistake because the Bajra rotis from Kathiawadi thali were too thick to chew. Chapathis are very small! Curry was same across all the menu. Dal was just dal with chilli powder (there was nothing else like Cilantro or tadka). They don’t give two types of veg curry as stated in the menu. It’s just one simple curry and Dal.
Dhoklas were worth the money spent.

A nice indian-gujarati restaurant in Newark, CA.
This place have few authentic gujarati dishes which is hard to find elsewhere, like Tuwar Kachori, Pattis etc. and there taste is also good. I love Tuwar kachori as a snack.
Staff is also friendly and they have ample of sitting space.
They have some sweets options as well. I would have loved if they offer fresh hot crispy jalebi.

We lost a loved one today and this was the perfect place. Their thali was super homey and comforting for us. We ordered kathiyawadi and mini thali. Both were good with seasonal vegetables.

This place is good for thali. They specialize in gujrati and punjabi cusine, so all thali’s are are also around the same cusines. Variety of dishes is okay and food overall is good. Only thing I don’t like is overpriced dishes, especially thalis. They charge you 13-14$ for thali, which is not unlimited, so all tip plus taxes makes it close to 19$. Menu also doesn’t change much for thali. I did like rasmalai here.
Place is crowded in the evenings and peak dinner time, but you generally get a table. Parking is ample nearby. There is indian grocery store to its side, so you can buy and eat indian in one trip 🙂
