Good quality and tasty Indian curries with soft and fresh breads. The spice level was perfect and not too overwhelming. The... appetizers were delicious and were neatly presented. Cocktails were good, but not the best. Friendly and welcoming staff. Goodfine dining place for groups and family gathering. Read more

Good restaurant with great ambience and food. I find the food very expensive but I guess it’s okay for the quality maintained.... They could definitely increase the quantity a little bit. I’ve tried all the appetizers and the best one is chicken achari.Tandoori chicken is average. Gilman jamun is a must try. Read more

The food was not as delicious as expected from Sanjay kapoor’s recipes. The tomato based curries were pretty tangy I guess due... to the use of canned tomatoes? Great presentation but not much taste. Their samosa and green paneer appetizer were good. Theentrees were just fine, not very flavorful though. Their naan was well cooked. Their mock tails were fine but can be better. Forthe mediocre food taste the price was ritzy. The desserts were just fine. Won’t recommend this for a second time. Perhaps onetime experience. The staff were very friendly. Read more

Definitely an interesting take on modern Indian cuisine. Some dishes however stand out more than others. Ordered the vegetarian... appetizer to share for 4 and it was definitely not worth the money. Relatively little seasoning and lacking in any complexflavor profile not to mention quite expensive. I would just skip the appetizers completely. For mains, ordered the fish tikkamasala, nailli rogan josh and bhuna ghosht. Each one of these were delicious and worth the asking price. Large portions withdeep complex flavors. Ended up ordering the bread basket to share for the table to get a sample of everything. Service was fastand friendly. Prices are on the more expensive side. Plenty of parking. Read more

Food was mediocre. Everything was sweet, few of the naans were also sweet due to bread basket with different naans, did not... expect that. Garlic naan was good. Paneer was bland. Overall food was ok, overpriced and overhyped. Indian food is never THISsweet. It’s “redefining Indian food” to be Americanized. Disappointed, won’t be coming back. Read more

Hands Down one of the best chicken curry(Puran singh da chicken) and achari gosht(Lamb) in the bay area. Non veg platter was... great too. Definitely check this out for authentic north indian flavors. Read more

Awesome food. Service was slow and they did not give us, a party of seven much attention. Food came out very slowly. Last dish... came out an hour after ordering and we had to leave. I will come back despite the slow service. Read more

Sanjeev Kapoor is one of India's iconic chefs and I watched his show on Sundays as a kid. I definitely had to try the food at... this place. We went for weekday dinner. The place is quite nice, with a separate bar and dining area. Our waiter helped us totry popular items here and we loved all his suggestions! ? The manchow soup was nice. It felt soothing on a winter evening. ?The chicken tikka was soft and delicious. Although, we didn't like the hara paneer tikka that much. ?A must try item is plumkofta curry. Creamy gravy and koftas that just melts in your mouth.! ?In desserts, we tried the kulfi which was superb. I didn'tenjoy the gulabjamun though. It was too sweet for my taste. The restaurant is expensive for Indian food but then the quality isgreat and it's like a fine dine experience. Read more
