The food and ambience were outstanding - everything was very tasty and they were very kind to our party of 8 (two families with a bunch of kids) - the presentation is also top notch and the table service is really good - many staff, all well spoken, attentive and careful The only thing I'll point out is that when families with kids ask for something to be made less spicy - please have better answers than: "oh the spice is already there", "we can't make much change", etc - instead do better and see how you can provide an alternative or a less spicy variant - this is a fancy restaurant - we expect the chefs/kitchen to be flexible - we're not asking for custom made to order off menu items - we're just asking for simple moderation/modifications to existing menu items that honestly other restaurants have zero issue with

Great food and service. The food had creative touch and did not sacrifice the taste. Glad that it was not too much fusion!

The server at our table was very very nice. She was friendly and did a good job explaining everything. Food was also good quality and tasty. I would have preferred more flavorful, but not more garlicky. Actually, that is what I liked that the vegetarian food was not overly garlicky.

The food was fine. I had the pani poori was different tasting, than regular pani poori. I did like the presentation. Overpriced for Indian food, but known given it was Sanjeev Kapoor’s restaurant. I was just fascinated that the waiter did not check on me to order food, after eating my appetizer. I waited about 25-30 minutes, and just gave up and handed them my credit card to close out the bill. Oh well.

We had higher expectations from Khazana. The food was average, as was the service. From a value for money perspective, it wasn’t great, because there was nothing in the experience that was outstanding or worth a special mention.

Had dinner at Khazana last week. We have been wanting to go there since it opened because we have been to the Yellow Chilli in Santa Clara a few times and loved it. The service was top notch. The staff paid attention to us without being intrusive. We ordered vegetarian food and everything was just very delicious. We ordered Chana Jor Garam and Ricotta gulati kebabs for starters and they were both awesome. For the main course, we had sham savera kofta (actually invented by Chef Sanjeev Kapoor) and baked cauliflower mussalam with garlic naan and lacha paratha. Dessert was carrot pudding tart. It was mouth watering. Will definitely come back soon.
