After many years we returned to this once esteemed restaurant and while the menu was unchanged, the cooking was very disappointing. Gone were the vibrant spices. The daal, saag, and curries were bland. And the tandoori salmon was definitely not marinated or seared in any kind of high heat oven (nor was the subpar naan). Service was very slow -- which was odd because there was no one else being served during the entire time we were there. Very sad shadow of its former self.

I have come here a couple times to take out Kulchas and Parathas. The quality is extremely good and breads are tasty and hot and cooked through. The pricing is very good and the service has always been very friendly. I have yet to try any of the food yet but plan to do so because the menu looks super interesting. Probably

This Indian restaurant deserves to be known much more widely! Had an outstanding lunch here this week. I’m from India, and have high standards for Indian food. Quite bummed out that it took me 11 years to discover this amazing restaurant. But there are so many Indian restaurants in East Bay, and this had just never crossed my radar as a place to try.
First of all, the menu is outstanding. There are dishes that you will never find on the menu of any other restaurant. We had Chicken Paratha Fold, Masaledar Bharwa Karela (bitter melon; literally as good as my mom’s, but it’s an acquired taste), and Kori Gasi (a south Indian chicken curry). Everything was outstanding (except for one small thing: the paratha did not appear to be fresh). I loved the attention to detail in everything else. They have the very best green chutney (cilantro-mint) and red chutney (tamarind) I have ever eaten in any Indian restaurant in the US (and I’ve lived here more than 40 years).
Portions are a good size, and the two of us were completely full. You don’t have to pay extra for rice, like you have to do almost everywhere else. The entrees come with rice and daal and a small serving of salad (some very nice lettuce drizzled with green chutney; sensational!). Their house wine is only $5 a glass. Nowhere else in the Bay Area can you get a glass of wine for that price; a very generous pour too. Our dessert was Phirni (a very traditional rice-flour pudding). That was only $4 for a very generous serving.
Overall, the food was really delicious, the portions generous, the prices very reasonable. Service was great. We will definitely be back again and again. Still have to try all those unique and delicious-sounding breads!

Really great concept and execution where the menu explores foods from different parts of India. The menu offers great descriptions as well- you can tell they are passionate about what they do. Very tasty food overall and a fun place to sample their diverse menu.

Yummmm. They should have a higher rating!! Their food is really tasty. And it’s not greasy like some of the other Indian restaurants around. I got the butter chicken to go and it came with a leg and thigh. Was surprised to get two big pieces of chicken. I ate them so fast I ended up in food comatose. Oops.
The meal comes with rice and a little salad. It doesn’t cost as much as other restaurants and is far better tasting. Going to be back to try more of their food.

The best Indian food I’ve ever eaten, including four months spent in India.
Forgot part of my order and refused to give me a refund me for the missed item. The vegetable pakoras were overcooked.

I had saag kofta and a paratha with potato filling. Both were excellent, as have been my previous experiences here with vegan and non-vegan dishes. The prices are pretty low, too.

The menu delves into dishes from different parts of India beyond the mainstream ones we usually see at Indian restaurants in North America. The detailed descriptions on the menu help you learn more about what you're eating. Almost all entrees come with rice, creamy daal (lentils) and some greens. The naan/kulcha were large and fluffy. The bharwa karela (bitter melon) was very flavorful and bitter. Instantly took me back to my childhood.Menu changes monthly. Can't wait to be back to explore more of the Indian cuisine

We ordered Methi Butter Chicken to go. Thought it would be a dinner size. Turned out it came with rice in a lunch box. There were two boney, i mean literally boney dark meat in there, for $16!!Quite disappointed with the quantity for this price; at least you could have given us some chicken meat to chew on.

Interesting Indian food. Not just the usual butter chicken and tikka masala. Always exceptional breads.
