    I had a truly delightful experience today! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the most polite and gracious hosts. I had initially owed them an apology for my first comment about their new opening, but they handled it with such calmness and appreciation. Our dining experience was exceptional. We were escorted to our table, where our server, Suzanna, provided outstanding service. She was incredibly warm, always smiling, and gave us excellent vegetarian recommendations. Every dish she suggested was a hit! We absolutely loved the buttermilk pani puri, BBQ mushrooms, and the flavorful cabbage dish served with romali roti. I only wish they had jackfruit biryani on the menu for vegetarians! Beyond the food, the restaurant itself was impeccably clean and elegantly designed. It’s a perfect spot for a refined and enjoyable dining experience.

    The Food quality was good but was a bit on the pricier side. We tried the paneer tikla, prawns, sham-savera and home style chicken curry with butter and garlic naan. All items were tasty.

    Excellent food, the best butter chicken ever! Everything we ordered was high quality, will return back again. Clayton was very kind and offered us a complimentary dessert too. We vote this to be the best Indian restaurant in the Bay area.

    Really flavorful and unique menu options. Spice levels were perfect and staff was really friendly and helpful in recommending new dishes. Everything came out quick enough and good value. The restaurant itself was empty and not super warm, however. Would still come back for casual meals
