Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Sunnyvale, CA

Sl Am Hands down the best mexican sit down restaurant in sunnyvale. Ive been going for 17 years and evrey meal is delicious. The workers are very nice and i love the steak burrito!! Very family owned feeling and is a sunnyvale classic!

Patrick Densmore Very good vegetarian food and helpful advice when ordering if you’re not familiar with some of the menu items. We have been here for dinner as well as lunch multiple times. This place always seems busy, which is a good sign.

Nick Lingscheit One of the best chicken sandwiches all around!! Never been disappointed by Dave’s. Mouthwatering sandwiches, sumptuous milkshakes, crispy fries, you name it… And all at reasonable prices. Shout out to the Sunnyvale location in particular… they have excellent customer service.

Swati Snata Our team of seven visited for a weekday lunch. Although we had requested indoor seating a day in advance, we were ultimately seated outside. Despite this, the food was enjoyable and the portions were well-suited for individuals. We sampled a variety of proteins, including chicken, lamb, and salmon, along with vegetarian options. ​Menu Highlights: ​Mansaf: Excellent and very creamy. ​Beriani Dajaj: Delicious. ​Mocktails: The Pineapple Ginger and Passionfruit drinks were both great. ​Note: The salmon in the Tabsi was a bit dry, and the Maza sampler was slightly small for a group of 6. ​Overall, it was a positive experience for the team.

Chris Gilbreath Here for business, opted for dining at the hotel and it did not disappoint. Nice little restaurant scene with a bar, great food, nice wine selection and great service. Friendly people and comfy seating, hotel is also very nice.

Jeremy Kushner Old school Chinese for those looking for Americanized Chinese favorites. The chicken salad is quite delicious and excellent to share. The other dishes are very average. Friendly service and a decent atmosphere for a lunch or group dinner. Plenty of superior places for Chinese but this has its time and place

Deepika Monga It was our first time dining there, and everything exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was the best, and the place was spotless. We would love to come back here again! Highly recommend!

Travis Wise I used to be sad that Faz closed in this space. But wow what a replacement! If you haven’t been to Valley Goat and you’re thinking about it, stop waiting. It’s amazing. And don’t be intimidated by “goat” … most of the dishes don’t involve goat. I’ve had a variety of large and small plates and every single one has been amazing. And the New Years Eve set menu was amazing.

sholeh ja By far one of the best vegetarian Indian restaurants. The quality, taste and aroma are unbelievable. Just the right amount of spices, makes every bite an explosion of flavors. Lakhvir Singh is wonderful, polite and very kind.

Das Subhamoy (Moy) It’s not easy to find a vegan friendly restaurant in South Bay but Mayan kitchen surpassed all our expectations! They have authentic South American (mayan) food and lovely service. We have revisited multiple times and have never had any complaints.

Angeles Sanchez I had a great experience at this place! The food was fresh, delicious, and came out really fast. The manager was especially impressive—very friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. Excellent service all around. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Helen Hsu, Psy.D. A friend wanted to try this place so we came for week night dinner. Easy parking out back, was very quiet when we arrived but several large parties came later. Decor was really lovely we were very comfortable & liked the green & blue chairs & hanging umbrellas. Nice selection of beers & wine. Started with delicious appetizers, shrimp & pani poori, goat curry was not my pick but wow it was SO delicious- on both rice or naan. Also enjoyed tandoori style chicken momo’s. Service was not particularly friendly but was efficient & alert. Clean restrooms also a plus. Overall a place I plan to return to!

John kyler Another Google search reveals an excellent restaurant that sustainable options that are different from the norm. This location being downtown gets busy but don’t let that stop you from trying it out. I was seated quickly and before long water and beer were at my table to quench my thirst. I enjoyed their steamed edamame while I made my final choices for lunch. The Seabass tacos ended up being very tasty and I would recommend them to anybody. Pricing is very reasonable for being downtown Sunnyvale and the atmosphere was wonderful and very family friendly. I look forward to visiting again in the future to try something else on their menu.

Donna Kim The food here was absolutely delicious! The soup was a bit on the sour side, but it actually paired really well with the bamboo shoots and still tasted great. Although the restaurant is supposed to close at 8:30, we went in around 8:15 and had no trouble ordering. It’s really close to AMC, so it’s the perfect spot to fill up before catching a movie. Super satisfying and definitely recommend!

Raveena Deshmukh Hands down the best okonomiyaki I’ve eaten outside of Japan! I tried the shrimp, cheese and mayo one and was blown away with the amazing smoky flavor and savory taste!
