Sakoon

Delicious, and reasonably priced as long as you keep lunch under $20.Just one thing: I used to go ALL the time when it was Bombay Garden. I miss the following items they used to make/serve: Chai (they kept a big kettle of it and sugar on the side with lunch buffet), Sambar, Dosa, Narvatan Koorma. 'any chance of getting those fav's of mine back? p.s. Never remove the Tandoori Chicken. It's THE MAIN reason for me to go :)

This was my first visit, and I really enjoyed the buffet lunch. The food was fresh, flavorful, and just the right variety for an Indian buffet. The restaurant is clean, including the restrooms, which is always a plus. I loved the separate vegetarian buffet and the Pani Puri station--such a nice touch! It's a shame they don't offer a buffet for dinner, but overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be back.One reco improvement: The gulap jamun was the worst I ever had. Very strong chemical sweet that ruined my tastebuds. I hope to see improvement in my next visit.

Firstly we went to Sakoon as a family for their Lunch Buffet for $19.99 plus tax.Hence this review is based on food we ate during the Lunch Buffet and not any Ala-Carte Menu.We as a family go often to Sakoon and I am writing review for the first time.Also our advice is to reach the place around 12:00pm to avoid the crowd and also get their freshly cooked dishes.We are also vegetarians so cant comment on their non-veg food.The Great things about Sakoon:1. Food was very fresh and the buffet price though steep is one of the most satisfying food experience since you alone would never get to taste so many dishes2. Appetizers we had Pani Puri and the Pani was excellent. We all had it thrice. Pani Puri had chutneys, sev and Potato/chana mix. There was no hot ragada for Pani Puri but the Pani was outstanding3. Dahi Vada was mediocre. Dahi was good but Vada was not that soft and needs work.4. Fritters were really great. They had Onion Bhaji, Mix Bhaji and Tikkis.5. Main Course had Tadka DaalFry which was extraordinary and we had fantastic Daal Chaval (Rice) at the start which we usually dont do. We always eat rice at the end.6. Their vegetables had Methi Malai Mutter which was 3 star, Mix Kurma Spicy which was 4 star, Palak which was 3 star. There was Paneer Tikka Masala also which was 4 star.7. Fresh Naans were served at the table and Garlic Naan we had to order, they could not give it complimentary.8. Deserts - all were good and they had Gulab Jamun, Kheer, Gaajar Halwa. Only Jalebi I thought was 2 stars and was fat than usual jalebis you have outside.9. They also had chai and salads plus fruit plate with pineapple.10. Overall an excellent food experience for Lunch Buffet and we got to taste so many delicacies which you expect from a Lunch Buffet.11. They also had CholeKulche and Kulche could be little more crisp and served hot on the table if possibleThe things Sakoon can improve on:1. I think One Garlic Naan they can give complimentary as kindness if someone asks and not charge for it.2. $19.99 is steep for buffet and a $16.99 would be a more fair price for 6 people or more. I completely understand if 1 or 2 people come $19.99 is fair price.3. Some South Indian like Idli Vada and Chutney is expected when it comes to Buffet and there was absolutely no south Indian food.4. Also there were no soft drinks and no icecream which could easily enhance the desert experience5. There was no chaas (ButterMilk) or Lassi which we used to see in Summer Time.Overall I feel Sakoon is great place and same owner as Bombay Garden Fremont which closed now but in its best days, it was known for the Best buffet Place in the SF Bay Area

Decently priced lunch buffet with great tasting items. Goat dish has greatly improved from a year ago. Staff are friendly

My friend was hosting an event here at Sakoon and despite having grown up around the area it was my first time checking it out. The interior is spacious and modern, with an upstairs area which was where the event was held. It looked like the party was organized pretty well inside, so it seems like the service for private parties is good. The food here was buffet style, with various choices of curries like butter chicken and paneer to choose from. All of them were very flavorful and tasted great, so I had no complaints here. The naan was hot and crispy, so you don't have to worry about the execution on that end. For dessert I had their gulab jamun, which was very warm and well-done as well. Even though their food here consisted of classic Indian dishes, I do think that they made them well and I had a great time at the party. If you are planning on hosting a private event at Sakoon I think you'll have a good experience!

Very beautiful interior design, very calming, classy and luxurious. Every single food we ordered was full of flavor. Amazing service as well. Our server Mahendra was very helpful and caring. If you want top service and amazing food, come here. You will not regret it.

My gym is right next to Sakoon. I have been avoiding this restaurant based on the reviews. Couple of months ago, I finally decided to try it out. To my surprise this a very nice restaurant with quality food and friendly staff, specially Mahendra (sp?) I am not sure where the complaints and poor reviews are originated. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I'm just posting because they asked me to post. The food is good, buffet is great, and is well priced too.

Mahendra always takes great care of us. Food is fresh and delicious. A weekly go-to for lunch buffet!

We hosted a party and it was a success. It was in the upstairs hall. Food was good, service was great and overall it was a very enjoyable afternoon. Our friends liked the place too and one of them later hosted another party there.
