    This was our second visit to the restaurant. It is great to finally have a restaurant in the bay area, where the chef understands the authenticity of the Indian food yet put modern touch on the flavors and preparation. Every dish we tried from the dahi kebab to paneer Tikka, Fig and walnut kofta was amazing. Also, this restaurant's service is really good as they don't try to rush you out, but understand the vibe of what's happening on the table and allow conversations among guests to occur and have them savor the food. Kudos to the chef and the service staff we will surely return again.

    The food was excellent and presentation was very pleasing. We enjoyed every dish we ordered . We had gone here with friends who were visiting and they were thoroughly impressed. My only issue was with the noise level as there was a Diwali party .. that said the serving staff tried to reduce the impact by closing the door to the private room even though it was an inconvenience to them.

    Service fast and professional. Food good. Pricy though!! Only 2 things were off. 1- I had asked for onions n green chilli, which is Super common at any Indian restaurant I have been to so far. I got billed? Never ever seen this.Indian food is incomplete without onions etc. 2- Fair value Tax-? Never seen that too. So Was not sure to rip or not - but I did n too much which I usually do.
