This is my 3rd visit to GumaGumalu and I absolutely love this restaurant. I come for the buffet which is perfect for anyone new to South Indian food. I'm definitely a loyal customer and will keep coming back

Went for buffet in weekend and the food was just awesome! Although there were extensive non-veg options, this review is about vegetarian options. 4 appetizers, 3 Veggie Curries, Rotis, 3 desserts, 3 rice options, raita, and yogurt with pappadum. We ordered their newly introduced Garlic Naan too, and it was amazing. All the vegetarian options were tasty. Samosa Chaat, Cabbage Pakoda, Aloo Bonda (reminds me of vada), Crispy Babycorn. Baigan Veggie, Vegetable Korma, Gongura Daal. Jackfruit rice, mint rice, and plain rice. Gulab Jamun, Custurd, and Laddu. Good ambiance and constant refilling items with server checking for used dishes on the table. Overall, I have a very good experience. I would recommend visiting the weekend buffet with family and friends.

My wife and I was craving Indian. My daughter was craving dosa. Not many Indian restaurants around Fremont serve dosa. My friend recommended we give GumaGumalu a try. We took his suggestion. We arrived a little after 6pm on a Friday evening. Finding parking was no issue, as this restaurant is located in the Ranch 99 Plaza. When we walked in, we were the first customer and was greeted with a friendly smile and the lady told us to sit anywhere. We sat down and ordered our food. Daughter got her dosa and mango lassi. Wife and I got the garlic naan, andhra chicken curry, vijaywada chicken biryani, and a samosa chaat. Food arrived in a reasonable time. First came the dosa platter with 3 chutney dipping sauce. Then came the samosa chaat. Then the andrha chicken curry. Then the garlic naan. And last to arrive was the vijaywada chicken curry. Everything tasted super delicious. My daughter really enjoyed her dosa and mango lassi. My wife and I enjoyed everything else. The food portion was great. When we were full, we still had plenty of the rice and chicken curry left over to take home. The complimentary chai tea at this place has a distinct sweet after taste, even though no sugar was added. It did not taste like other chai tea from other restaurants, but was still quite nice. I really enjoyed the dosa and the garlic chutney is hands down my favorite dipping sauce. The spice level and flavor on the rest of the dish was perfect for our taste. We definitely will come back again next time we want Indian food.

GumaGumalu is a South Indian restaurant that serves Raagi Sankati during the week in Fremont, CA. The menu is diverse, the food is flavorful, the prices are reasonable and the service is good. The place has a casual and comfortable ambiance which is great for a big group or family outing. The onion dosa was a good size and was served with 3 authentic chutneys but the onion was raw - I'd rate it a 7/10. The Andhra Chicken curry was flavorful but a bit salty which was the case for the raagi sankati as well. I'd rate both an 8.5/10. The nutella dosa wasn't really sweet but it wasn't really savory - it was unique but didn't taste great. I'd rate it a 5/10. There's also homemade sweets packed for a la carte purchase. Overall, this restaurant is clean and a good comfort Indian food spot. I'd go back again to try other things on the menu!

Good food and good service. reasonably priced also. The restaurant is big and has a lot of space. we were 5 friends meeting one of them after 30 years and it was the perfect location. I did a take out also and the chicken dum was great (wife reviewed) and veggie dum was also great. not very greasy and the salan was also good. Over all a great experience. With the friends we had coffee, tea, mirchi bajji, vada , biryanis. The quantity was good and so was the experience. Ill probably end up there with some friends for a few drinks as they seem to be serving alcohol also.
