    Very small quantities for the price you pay. Same sauce and chutneys for all appetizers. Very limited options to chose from. Not worth the money you end up paying for the quantities you get.

    We went with a little higher expectations and were disappointed. The menue was short as expected. The food was of average quality. The staff was less attentive than expected. There was not much to choose from for desert. Overall the experience was underwhelming. I think the restaurant can de better.

    I had made dinner reservation for last Friday at Palo Alto Khazana indicating that the occasion was my birthday. When we dined, neither was this acknowledged with wishes not was I offered a complimentary treat that is typically done in other restaurants. For a high-end and pricey restaurant I would have expected this basic courtesy. It was my special day and I had many other options to celebrated but I chose them. When I brought this up with the lady at the reception after dinner and while leaving, she seemed apologetic and offered to make amends and do better next time. The manager though didn't demonstrate any remorse. She had a 'yes-it-happened-but-can-we-move-on attitude offering a discount next time. When I said I may not be back, she just sighed and left. The service and hospitality lacked warmth. Food was okay but not matching the price. Definitely it was many levels lower than their other Bay Area one, Santa Clara Yellow Chilli. I was reviewing the reviews of last week and observed ratings had gone down drastically with many negative feedback. So there's something to be analyzed and attended by the management. I'm a big fan of Chef Kapoor's cheerful shows and delectable recipes and this experience was disappointing and left a sour taste.

    Excellent Indian food. All the dishes we ordered were lovely both in taste and to look at. Closer to authentic Indian food than other restaurants in the neighborhood.
