Late-night visit to Aha revealed slow service due to understaffing. Appetizers lacked visual distinction and flavor, making them hard to recommend. Main courses were decent, with Kadhai Paneer and Nawabi Goat Fry Biryani shining. Also, Paneer Butter Masala has succulent chunks of paneer, making it appealing. The Butter Naan, though decent, suffered from a sparing application of butter. Despite mixed reviews, the biryani stood out, making a return visit solely for it a possibility.
Mushroom Pepper fry- 1/5
Gobhi munchurian- 2/5
Paneer butter masala- 3/5
Kadhai Paneer- 3.5/5

Had a late night dinner at Aha!!
The main course was slightly better as compared to the appetizers. Paneer butter masala was flavorful and the kadhai paneer was delicious. Paneer pieces were super fresh.
Can do a better job at appetizers, did not like the Gobi Manchurian and Mushroom fry.
Overall 3 for the food and an extra half for late night service.
Main course -4/5

The breakfast buffet available on weekends is fabulous. It is available from 8 to 11.30 AM.
Affordable pricing at 11.99$ and a very decent spread of items. I liked the ragi sankati with chicken curry dish specially which is a south Indian variety that isn't available everywhere. The ambience is pretty good and the parking space is decent.

Chicken mughlai was the best. However their naans were only ok.
Konaseema Kodi vepudu briyani and Nawabi goat fry briyani were really good. California chicken briyani was not spicy.
Palanadu chicken pepper fry was spicy 🌶️, chicken 65 was good.

Went to the breakfast buffet after the World Cup final and the food was surprisingly good. We tried idly, dosa, upma, pongal, mysore bonda and Vada. Our favorite were Mysore Bonda and Vada. They were also serving freshly made Poori and Indian tea. The only thing that we didn’t like was that the peanut chutney was too watered down.

Let’s talk about food first. They don’t understand the concept starters, entrees and main course. If they do, they don’t get entrée before getting your starter. Biryani is dumped right after your entrée to get it colder while you finish other food items.
Chicken tikka masala chicken is not grilled properly. i have to force use a spoon and fork to cut that into pieces. chicken 65 is actually chicken pakora and for that matter every bay area restaurant has their own meaning of chicken 65. lets talk about Biryani, again the definition boneless chicken dum biryani varies from restaurant to restaurant. It is spicy and just masala with little rice. Mango lassi is a joke in most of the restaurants, artificial flavors and sugar syrup. Overall well ruined dinner plans.
Service is okay. The atmosphere looks very closed and congested.
I don’t understand how they have 4.* star rating. Hopefully people give honest reviews.

When Tandoori chicken was ordered, they said it would take 25mins and they took that time to prepare it. Tandoori chicken(Full) came with 8 pieces(four legs and four breast pieces). It was tasty and not spicy. Inside it was juicy. Butter chicken was sweet for adult taste, but was yummy for kids. Butter Garlic Naan was tasty. Cooked perfectly. Roast ghee lamb biryani was not that good, because of the gravy in it. The gravy was sweet rather than spicy. But the smell of rice made me nostalgic. It was perfect and authentic Telangana style rice. Salan wasn't tasty at all , but raita was. It would be a perfect restaurant for people who don't eat spicy food. There is enough parking space. It's kids friendly and wheel accessible.

We went for dinner to Aha! It was our first time. The lady at the front desk was courteous and helped us get a table. We got a private room with a TV in it. My kids were engaged watching TV.
The food was nice,we ordered American corn, baby corn chili for starters. The quantity was great and the taste was great too.
We also ordered egg dosa, masala dosa, and mughlai chicken and naan. Everything was good. The only minus point was that the chicken and naan took really long to come. It might be because it was already past 10.30 pm and it was time for them to close.
But overall, great food and experience will go back again.
