Updated Review: We tried a new dish this time - paneer methi chaman. It had fenugreek and onion gravy. Very unique taste and we loved it. We also ordered one dessert- kesar kulfi with rabri. It was too sweet for us. Additionally it was not rabri but ras malai syrup Been there multiple times. Shaam savera kofta and dal makhani are really good. Also, garlic nan, paratha and peshwari nan are our favorites. Papaya peanut kachukber, paneer tikka, veggie platter are delicious.

I had a largely enjoyable experience dining at this place. The authenticity of the food was truly commendable, with each dish offering rich, genuine flavors that transported me to their place of origin. The attention to detail in replicating traditional recipes was evident and greatly appreciated. The dessert was top-notch and you must try any of the ones listed on the menu as it is truly excellent! As for breads, I feel that the quality-to-price ratio could have been much better especially considering the how good the entrees tasted in comparison to its prices. The quantity and quality of the bread can certainly be improved upon but it is not a deal breaker at all and is just a small area that may need improvement!

Amazing place and food ! We hosted baby shower here. Initially I was bit hesitant to celebrate an intimate event within the restaurant. But we couldn't have asked for more. It was a great choice. Food was amazing. Manager Vishnu and staff were very courteous and helpful throughout. We were given one portion of the restaurant to host the event. We did minimum decoration, we could cut cake, and host a few fun games for all guests. Highly recommend for hosting life events with your family and friends !!

I got the tomato soup with a desi Kick to it and it Was a sleeper hit because initially I wasn’t used to the spice, but the more I ate it, the better it got because at this point, my throat was on fire from all the spice, but in a good way, and I think this is literally the best tomato soup I ever had. I love pain We got the paneer takata And the nizami tarkari biryani and it slap so hard. The paneer were succulent soaked in lipsmacking gravy. The biryani was a brilliant mixture of vegetable and Aromatic spices. The paneer was paired with yogurt that helped with the Spiciness, And putting the paneer, biryani, and yogurt together In my mouth Lighted up every single molecule of my tongue. Altered my brain chemistry. Every single bite sends shivers down every vertebrae of my spine. This is literally the best Indian restaurant I ever been to And anybody who says otherwise do not know how Desi food taste like.

One of the best Indian restaurants in the Bay Area. That's a big deal because of the number of them around here. Everything is very well though out and presented. Large number of options to choose from. Waiting can be a bit, so its recommended to make a reservation. They have nice cocktails, and desserts as well. Good place to have nice food.

The food was just too good here! We had gone a few years ago when they first started but the food was not great . They have transformed the Menu and the food is really good now. They have many veg dishes in the Menu!! Top Dishes Appetizer Dahi ke Kabab was super . Comes with green coriander chutney Harippa Paneer Tikka was average but had balanced taste .. the panner could have been more softer Drinks Peru Pyala Average Sweet lime soda this was close to what you usually get in India. If you like more sweet then you should explicitly ask them to make it such Main Course Makhanwala Paneer Very tasty and well balanced dish. Not too tangy not too sweet and just perfect balance of flavors and smooth gravy Dal Makhani i would also rate this high.. was quite good. Not too garlicky and works very well if you don’t prefer the strong garlic taste Nizami Tarkari Biryani I would say average Dessert Shahi Tukda super yummy Gulab e Gulkand this was a big piece of gulab jamun filled with gukand ( jam made of rose petals) Service superb service. There was one of the senior Managers there named Vishnu. He was simply amazing in providing A grade service also g with other staff Sanjana!
