The food is very good. We split the tea leave salad and it was very generous size. We also shared the branzino curry which was smaller in size and coconut rice and a bread plate. The servers were very pleasant. We will return. The table was a bit noisy because the other side of the partition was the kitchen. There were few people in the restaurant because we were having an early dinner. I would ask for a different table next time.
June 2025
All the staff was constantly rushing a lot to clean-up the table and picked up plates even while you are eating. It was still 8.00 PM and 1 Hour and 30 minutes to close the restaurant. The Team leaf salad was dry, could have added more tea leaf paste or lemon juice. The taste was good but could have been better. The Samosa soup in San Francisco location is with all the spices, the one in Menlo Park location was quite bland than expected. Tofu Kabat was also quite dry...definitely...
