Had the nonvegatarian tasting dinner. The food was okay but nothing memorable. Servers were attentive and always present when needed. We arrived the last 1.25 hours before closing so that may have affected the food quality.

I’ve been to many Indian restaurants and I’ve even been to India so I know what good Indian food should taste like. Unfortunately, the food here was not good, and the service wasn’t any better. The flavors were off and didn’t feel authentic. Very disappointing overall.

New owner. Food deteriorated. Very little meat or cheese in dishes, all sauce. The ban is good. Not worth the money. This used to be a good place. Too bad.

The service is impeccable and the food is unique and tasty. Not your typical Indian restaurant . I recommend reservations as it's a small restaurant and usually busy. .

Catherine
Consistently well prepared and delicious food. cordial servers. the owner is usually there and very welcoming. We go there about once a month - and have done for years.

When we called they told me that all of their meat was halal but when we reached there the waiter told us none of the meat was halal, so please cross check in case you follow halal restrictions.

Came here with my friend for lunch. The lunch special is an amazing value and the portions were huge! The owner was very attentive and taught me something new about how to enjoy the food with the sides. Great music and quaint for lunch. It's rare to get such a great value from a lunch special! We even needed a box. I will definitely be coming back for dinner as well.

First time been here, we really like the food, very delicious, rich of flavor, we tried chef’s tasting menu, which covers many favorite dishes. Talked to the owner who has been there for 30 years, he mentioned two chefs who have been worked there 26 and 28 years. Not easy to run a good business for such a long time.

This was a special occasion. My sister loves Ajanta, is from out of town and hadn't visited in a while. We were welcomed graciously, given a table by the window and then served a wonderful meal. Truly memorable. Well done Ajanta.
This has got to be the best dining experience located in North Berkeley. I ordered the special dinner, which includes a choice of an appetizer, a main dish with basmati rice and a dessert. Great food and worth the value. I would definitely go back to Ajanta and try different things that I missed from ordering off of the menu.

What a gem! Excellent service, calm ambiance allowed the dining experience to shine. The food was presented so beautifully and simply that the dining experience was a treat.

The full dinner is a nice option. Loved the eggplant and the chutneys were great. Good reliable place for quality Indian food.

The food here was average. Tandoori lamb was tough, chicken was dry, salmon and prawns lacked flavor. Chana masala was average and over spiced for medium. I would not return

Exceptional food, charming service. Highly recommend the saag paneer and chicken pistachio korma. My wife said the tandori scallops were amazing.
