Varam Indian Restaurant & Catering: Reviews & Ratings
We had a great experience at Varam! The food was delicious. We especially loved the Andhra goat curry and the masala dosa, both were packed with flavor. We were warmly welcomed by Savio, who was very hospitable and made sure we were well taken care of. Definitely a place we’d come back to!
One of the best south Indian food in cali!!! We had Appam, varam chicken curry, kal dosa, trust me i have been places and these were Amazing, You should definitely try Hydarbad Sharbat if you wanna have something spicy and refreshing to drink.
Genuinely great food, every dish was definitely prepared fresh given how long it took to make but it was worth the wait for the most part. To start we got the Hyderabad sharbath which had a unique combination of 5 strong but complementing flavors. The Sona More Tiranga was cooked really well and the cauliflower manchurian was very crispy and flavorful. However, the chilli paneer did not match and was kinda mediocre, just due to the sauce. Otherwise starters were great. The mains we got were the Bharwan Aloo, the Kadhai Panner, and the khatti daal, all 3 excellent and uniquely prepared well. To pair, we got Laccha parathas, Garlic naan, and Peshawari naan, all 3 I enjoyed a lot. We also ordered the gongura paneer biryani, which was spicy but expected. Service was pretty good, but could be slow at times, but I appreciated not being rushed and pushed to leave the table. Atmosphere was also nice, modern yet decorated, although I would say it missed that upscale charm. Overall, 4.7/5 I'd probably come back here again.
I’ve had lunch and dinner here many times since it opened (probably 10 times). Every time the food and the service are consistently very good in terms of taste and presentation. Now they started doing daily lunch buffet instead of Thali, which surprised us a bit since we really like their thali, we still decided to give it a try. There are more than 10 options of salads, entrees, and dessert to choose from, and a basket of naans and appetizers and a panna cotta per table. Love the food! Even though buffet is not my first choice of food nowadays, I would come back to eat lunch here and would highly recommend it to my friends.
This is my second time coming back here. We can tell that this restaurant made food with love and care. Dosa was warm and amazing. The chicken biryani was slow cooked with fresh ingredients. The chicken was very tender. Customer service was also excellent. Mango lassi was cute, pretty thick as well.
The kadai paneer is so flavorful and they can make it spicy on request. The gongura paneer could do with more of that yummy biriyani rice to go with that gravy.
Had a fantastic evening with amazing food and outstanding service. The warm reception made us feel truly welcomed. A special shoutout to Mr. Savio for going above and beyond — his skills, clear menu explanations, and thoughtful food suggestions truly elevated our experience. Thanks to his guidance, every dish was spot-on, and the service was attentive throughout. Also, kudos to Abhi and Adam for their friendly attitude and commitment to ensuring a great dining atmosphere. This place is a hidden gem in the Bay Area — consistently delivering on taste, service, and ambiance. Yet providing 5 star experience under great management .. Highly recommended!
10 out of 10 in everything ! I loved their food, service and ambience, everything is full of attention to details. We came for the weekend lunch buffet and the spread was large with really yummy items. I just loved the crispy cauliflower fritters, the piping hot masala tea and everything else in between . The Kandhari chicken was truly exceptional as was the Laal Maas, Paneer Makhana , Butter Chicken and Biriyani. They served appetizer bites, naan and papad at the naan and the staff were super attentive, warm and hospitable. Last but not the least, the rice kheer and Mysore Paak were absolutely delightful and perfect sweet endings to a delicious lunch. The ambience is nice and relaxing, service is prompt and the decor is charming: everything added to the wonderful experience
