Wah Jee Wah has the vibe of an outdoor barbecue with picnic tables and an outdoor grill. Indeed this is the only place I've ever encountered that grills Indian-style skewers over an open flame! The half Big Boy Platter came with a choice of six kebabs, allowing us to sample nearly all of their proteins: paneer tikka, chicken tikka, lamb seek, chicken leg, lamb chops, and shrimp. Each of these had a delicious marinade and smoky flavor, and were cooked just right to juicy, caramelized perfection! The grilled proteins were accompanied by red onions, cilantro/mint chutney, rice, thin/crispy naan, and a creamy, spiced Wah Jee Wah sauce. We also got several entrees including Butter Chicken (made of chopped chicken tikka mixed with the Wah Jee Wah sauce) and Chole Masala (chickpeas in a dark brown onion gravy), both of which came in generous portions and were incredibly flavorful and delicious. Everything also came at a great value and with quick, friendly service, and there was free, self-serve chai and water too!

I found this place through a friend of a friend. My boyfriend enjoyed it so much we got it two days in a row. We over ordered for 4 people. 1/2 big boy platter comes with 6 skewers/ meat options. This is great for groups. The meat was yummy. The lamb chop was my favorite. My friend loves their chole masala. If you like chickpeas this is a good option for you. We also got the masala Mac. The flavor is subtle. The mango lassi was delicious. The second time we came, my boyfriend and I both ordered a 2 skewer combo as well as a chole masala. The leftovers made a delious dinner.

First time at Wah Jee Wah. There was a wait to order, but that's a good sign. They have an open charcoal grill where they cook the meats. I ordered the 2 plate combo with chicken and lamb, the Golgappe, and chole bhature. The Chile Bhature was my favorite!!! The chicken was so soft and juicy. Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Hayward. The restroom is shared with the pizza restaurant. Not much parking unfortunately. The staff is really nice! Seating is mostly outdoors.

This is a one of a kind place in Hayward. If you like barbecue food and Indian food, this is the place to visit. They have a small menu and very limited veg options. As an Indian, the paneer was marinated well but I would have liked it to be spicier. Definitely worth visiting.

Wah Jee Wah can be located on block next to Mexico Super, next to Rayo's Pizza. A grill area is next to a canopied dining area. Additional dining at lounge inside building, also @right alongside of building. Offerings (upscale Indian BBQ): appetizers, combo plates, main dishes, skewers, drinks, sides. Chef Rounak Dumra sometimes has a special menu available. Order near grill area. Food ready in 15ish minutes. Self serve masala chai. Bites: 2 skewer combo (26), garlic naan (+1) -comped masala chai perfecto. -jumbo shrimps, lamb chops previously marinated. Slowly grilled, probably twice. Smoky, tender, juicy. Not overcharred. WJW sauce tomato based with special ingredients & medium spicy kick so addicting! Mild green salsa too. -fluffy white basmatic rice flavor neutral to allow skewer meats to breathe flavas. -garlic naan very aromatic with fragrant garlicness. 5 stars!

yumm!! This is a good option if you're eating with a group. Everything was so good and cooked perfectly. We got the big boy platter (12 skewers) and it can easily feed 6 people. Lamb 4.5/5 Chicken Tikka 4.3/5 Paneer 4.4/5

Tried out WJW Sun 11/24/24 for the first time. It's next to Rayo's Pizza and Mexico Super Market, Hayward, across from Chapel of the Chimes. Stand next to the menu and lady helped us explaining the menu and took our order. We got: Chicken tikka kabob $9 Lamb seek kabob $9 Marsala Mac & cheese $10 Garlic naan $4 Dal makhani $14 Mango lassi $5 Chicken was 4 small piece very tasty, not dry. Lamb was just 1 long kabob we shared it. Tasty. Marsala Mac & cheese was meh too me, not enough flavor and just mushy. Garlic naan was 4 pieces - liked it fine. Mango lassi was yummy! Free Marsala chai and water if u want it, help yourself. Husband charged it. Bathrooms - inside Rayo's Pizza on the left, separate men & women's. Women just 1 toilet & sink. Loud DJ out by pizza place. All outdoor dining for WJW so I can be cold and loud from music and road noise from busy Mission Blvd. I would go back & do take-out instead. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCxr8Divcau/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Ahhh I'm a fan! I'm a whore for grilled meats, I don't eat pork or beef. I feel like This spot was made for me! It is all halal, and lamb is the only red meat they serve (yes!) Everything was hot and fresh, the meats are marinated and grilled to perfection. The staff are so nice and accommodating. My toddler had not eaten very much, so the staff delighted him with his first mango Lassee, he loved it. If you enjoy tandoori, you will absolutely love WJW!

Oh my god, this place has been on my list for so long (years) and I finally got to try it! Very few places in the bay area has decent Indian tandoor stuff, this definitely lived up to the hype. The setting is casual, with tandoor setting in the outdoor, with some outdoor seatings and some indoor seating as well. Ordered half big boy platter (6 skewers of our choice) and went with: lamb chops, chicken tikka, chicken leg, paneer, shrimp. really liked the lamb chops and chicken tikka and leg, it was juicy and fresh (not rubber-y like many other places). I would probably skip the shrimp next time. Service was not too bad - the food was cooked right in front of us, and took probably 20 mins. Would come back here, for sure!

Finally made it to Wah Jee Wah on a Friday evening. Really tasty food! My favorite was the chicken leg - wonderfully seasoned and very moist. We also tried the lamb seek and the chicken tikka kabob, which were also tasty but a little dry. A surprise delight was the masala Mac, which was nice and cheesy with masala seasoning. The WJW sauce went well with the garlic naan and rice, and the chutney was a nice complement to the lamb seek. The restaurant has a unique setup. The grilling is done outdoors on the left side of the building. There is a pizza joint in the center of the building, and then you order food at a counter in the right side of the building. There's a lot of outdoor seating, and limited indoor seating in the room with the counter. A server brings your order to you at your table. There's a private parking lot in front. It was a beautiful day in the East Bay, so the weather was perfect for outdoor dining, but it's annoying to have to keep swatting away the flies. The restaurant's beer tap was out of order, so the only drink options were soft drinks and complimentary water and chai. The restaurant accepted credit cards and Apple Pay. $26 for a combo plate seems a little pricey, but the servings are large and I suppose grilled meats are usually expensive. We had a wonderful meal (except for the flies!) and plan to be back.
