    This multi-course, beautifully presented meal leaves you so satisfied, appreciative of the care, thought, presentation and quality of the amazing food. Every small course is delicious and beautiful in its own manner, with accents of caviar, parsley dust, house-made dashi and details such as this that intrigue you mind and your palate. The quiet ambiance allows the chef to explain how each course was curated, while he is assembling the dishes in front of the guests. Worth the drive to Foster City; the last time we dined, someone had come from Marin County, and last night, a young couple had driven up from San Jose. Well-worth the expense, a memorable gastro event, for certain. Must go for your next special event.

    Dined on 27 Feb 2025
    We were a party of three, sharing all the entrees. We chose samosa's to start while enjoying cocktails. The waiter clued us in to the Happy Hour prices, which was nice of him. For dinner, we chose Murgh Masala and Chicken Tikka Marsala and the lamb chops. The lamb chops are great for sharing because there were about 4 chops. The chops are very small, but delicious. But because they are small, order them rare - ours were medium and were a bit overcooked (our problem). We added Keema Naan and an order of Pulao rice. There was enough food to share with no leftovers. We all enjoyed the spices and flavors. The service was attentive. The room is quite big, with nothing to tamp down the room noise, so it was a little loud. We were still able to visit, but with a little difficulty. We agreed we would return and would recommend to others.

    The good and service was very good. And they will make most items on the menu gluten-free, if it's possible. Would definitely be going back.
