Best Casual Restaurants in Palo Alto

Simply an exquisite dining experience. First-rate food; generous portions; friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff.

We were delighted with our dining experience at Khazana. We are avoiding carbs so ordered dishes that focused on meat and vegetables: Peanut slaw (delicious, crunchy and fresh!), chickpea fritters (4 per order - delicious with great chutney sauce); Eggplant bharga? Not sure the name but the preparation and sauce were incredible and not bitter or too smokey) and the fish tikka masala - absolutely fabulous. . Only gave 3 stars for service because no one waited on us for about 10 minutes after arriving. But once they attended us the service was excellent. Appreciate that we could sample the wines available by the glass to decide. Hope they will consider adding Belgian style triples and golden ales (Like Pranqster) to their extensive beer menu which go great with Indian food. Sadly the beer menu was focused on hoppy, bitter IPAs and lagers. The cocktail flavors were exotic and fun (loved the Saffron Negroni). Will definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Great experience! Our server was a very sweet lady, I didn’t have the chance to catch her name, sorry. The food was good and pretty fast, I really recommend the calamari and the pizza Cristina. We were celebrating a friends birthday and got a tiramisu for her and they comped it for us. Amazing service overall. The restaurant is beautiful and there’s music that goes really well with it playing too.

My wife and I treated ourselves to a wonderful dinner at Reposado. The shrimp empanadas and guacamole were delightful, and the cochinita pibil was rich and delicious. I strongly recommend Reposado for an elevated experience of Mexican food.

Celebrated my engagement with some close friends. The staff were so sweet!
