“My skepticism about vegan food and that it may have only limited choices was shattered at this place. Menu is pretty elaborate and can very well satiate quite a few people with different tastes. Drink options are nice too. Definitely recommending this place, and going back some time soon.“
“I tried The Good Salad for the first time and OMG it was absolutely delicious! I tried the Pesto Ceezar and the dressing on it is insanely good. They also give a decent amount of food. The food is really good quality and I'm so happy I found my new salad spot!!!“
“This is the best Thai Vegetarian food we had in a long time. Perfect spices. The Pumpkin curry was divine. Also the Pra-Ram is very delicious. .I wish we would live closer, I would eat here once a week. I want to return and try other dishes.“
“I've noticed more salad places popping up in the area and decided to check out this spot to switch up our usual trip to Mendocino Farms. Note that this is a to-go place for pick up only. No indoor seating. We ordered the samurai steak salad and subbed out the cucumbers for the croutons. The girl working was patient with us, and also threw in the sweet heat dressing for us to try! Customer service was amazing, if not the best I've received in a while (sadly). I loved how many options there were, and the salad was good, but I doubt I'll be going out of my way to come here again.“
“Bang for your buck experience here at Veggie Garden.?Food is awesome,?Serving is HUMONGOUS,?Prices are reasonable?Servers are quick and attentiveDefinitely all ✔️✔️✔️I had the Mapo Tofu lunch special, it comes with noodles and rice. I could not resist the Thai Iced Tea. Will definitely come back for more.“
“Vegetarian / vegan wrap perfect for Good Friday. The Turkish double espresso was delicious and not gross like the bitter American roasters. I got fries, but did not realize lentil soup is on the menu. Next time. Operated by family, doesn’t get better than that.Dietary restrictions: Halal“
“Title: "Rainbow After Rain: Saffron's Culinary Odyssey"Three Words: Exquisite, Enchanting, MemorableAt Saffron, amidst the gentle patter of rain in San Carlos, every dish is a masterpiece. The Traditional Lamb Curry and Old Deli Style Butter Chicken are not merely served; they are presented with an elegance that mirrors the artistry behind their creation. Each bite is a revelation of flavors, deeply rooted in Indian culinary tradition, yet elevated by a contemporary touch. The Basmati Rice, fluffy and aromatic, serves as the perfect canvas for these vibrant dishes. Crisp Papad and a bold Spicy Chili Chutney complement the entrees, adding layers of texture and heat that tantalize the palate.The ambiance, enriched by the subtle accent of a rainbow framing the early spring evening, envelops diners in a cocoon of warmth and sophistication. The meticulous attention to detail in the presentation of the food—each plate a tableau of color and creativity—echoes the restaurant's commitment to excellence.Service at Saffron is nothing short of impeccable. The staff, attired in outfits that pay homage to their rich cultural heritage, move with a grace and efficiency that enhances the dining experience. Their knowledge and passion for the cuisine shine through in every interaction, making guests feel valued and well-cared for.As the meal unfolds, the rainy backdrop and the promise of a rainbow add a poetic dimension to the evening, reminding us that food is not just sustenance; it is an experience, a journey that can transport us to distant lands and times. Saffron, with its exquisite blend of food, service, and ambiance, invites us on this journey, offering a taste of India that is as memorable as it is delicious. In this haven, where culinary excellence meets heartfelt hospitality, every visit is an occasion, every dish a celebration of the rich tapestry of Indian cuisine.“
“We friends were meeting after a long time and wanted Indian vegetarian food. Hence we decided to come here. This is the first time we have been trying out. It's a self serve place as you will order first and pay then you can eat at the table or do a take out. If you sit and eat, once finished you will have to clear the plates etc. It's a small place, food was okay. We decided to have paneer thali and one of the friends had gobi paratha. We also ordered bajre ki roti since it's healthy and has fiber in it. The palak paneer tasted sweet, which is a rare scenario so I didn't like it much. The Rajasthani gatta curry was okay. Kaju Paneer curry was okay. I didn't find anything great or unique to call out. The service was good, the lady at the counter was very helpful who showed us the menu that was posted on the wall and shared what's available for drinks, etc. We didn't order any drinks as they have soda, tap water and mango lassi. It gave the buffet style. You have to use a paper towel for napkins as there weren't any available. I think this place is more of a take out business than a restaurant dining place.“
“Fantastic sushi place! We've been here before and we keep coming back. The salmon toro is the gem on the menu worth trying. All the sushi sashimi and rolls are top notch. They also have an entire section for vegetarian friendly sushi. This place has something for everyone.“
“Family owned and run and so delicious! The samosas are unlike the tough crusted ones elsewhere. The dough must be a family recipe because the crust on these is tender, yet crisp. Also, the mint dipping sauce has a nice spicy kick that rivals the tamarind sauce for memorable flavor and mint isn't even a favorite flavor of mine. Their chicken korma is also really good. I've stopped comparing kormas because they vary so widely, but theirs is warming and comforting like the best of them. I ordered everything with medium heat and for me, it was perfectly spiced, lingering on the tongue only a few minutes, but I will try it even spicier next time.Parking: Follow map that Curry & Kebab features on Google Maps. A little unclear if you can park in the covered parking area while the spa store is still open, but there are plenty of spots beyond. Note: this is a one way parking lot that exits onto Ivy St. You can circle the block to get back onto El Camino.“
“Shahi Chaat food truck in San Francisco exceeded expectations, especially with its must-try masala chai – the best I've had in the city. The flavors were rich and authentic, making it a standout beverage. The food truck experience added to the charm, giving a convenient yet delightful setting.“
“I came here for a school field trip. The trip was amazing and super fun. Basically we tested their new robot system, and it was really cool. After we finished, we fought each other (the other kids). Also, the cafeteria was great, the “vending machines” were well stocked, and overall I had a great time. I wish I could go back and relive that day.“
“These folks can actually make stuff spicy enough for me to appreciate! That's high praise for a food court restaurant. They typically shoot for the broadest acceptance, but brave palates such as mine seek out bolder flavors, and Curry Up Now is here to accommodate!“
“We ordered rava masala dosa and masala dosa along with pongal. 2 filter coffees to finish off the meal like any typical desi would. Portion sizes were enormous!Rava dosa and pongal were good and we're quite authentic but the masala dosa was just very ordinary. The coconut chutney was missing tadka and could've been made better. Coffee was cringy - too bitter regardless of the sugar we dumped into it to sweeten it up. I would go back for a late breakfast on a lazy weekend. Wouldn't promise anybody a super-duper Indian tiffin experience but is definitely a good get -away when you're not in India.“
“I brought a friend down to Stanford for a procedure and we had planned to go to a different place for dinner, and discovered Seoul Kitchen by accident. I am so happy that we did as the food and service was amazing. You order your plate like how you order a poke bowl, you pick your base, then your protein, and then three sides (banchans). I ordered the toasted rice (base) which is prepared with carrot, potato, zucchini, green onion, and sesame oil (and was absolutely amazing). Then I ordered the Korean Bulgogi Beef (protein), which I received a generous amount, and it was absolutely delicious. The three banchans (sides), that I chose were kimchi, cucumbers, and seaweed salad. They were all flavorful and incredible. My friend ordered the: toasted rice (base), BBQ Chicken (protein), with carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms, and it was incredible as well. I tried their glass noodles which you can get as a base, and it was amazing as well. I wish that I had ordered a side of it. The servings were extremely generous and the lady behind the counter was extremely friendly, helpful, and efficient. The inside was clean and spacious. The parking can be tricky, but that is not the fault of the business just their location. I can't wait to take my friend back to Stanford for her next appointment, so that we can visit this place again.“
“Great service with very courteous employees. I have tried a few different options here, but their vada pav is good. I also tried pani puri but but you can give it a pass. The puris are crisp and puffy but dont taste authentic. They should serve them with either ragda or potato masala instead of chickpeas. I would come back to try other dishes.Vegetarian options: Lot of vegetarian options“
“I don't know when Soon's opened but I've been living in the Peninsula for 6 years and cannot believe I just discovered this restaurant. For authentic Korean food, you typically have to head down to Sunnyvale or Santa Clara. But obviously for those who live in the Peninsula or above, it is a journey. Soon's finally starts to establish options alongside Daeho in San Mateo.From the outside, Soon's looks confusing. It is supposedly a Korean restaurant in a western plaza selling a whole variety of things. Is it fusion? Is it "Korean" cuisine by inspiration? And there's even some hints of Chinese, Hawaiian and Mexican in the menu. Again, not a good sign. Also, you need to stare at the ceiling when you're inside... it could've been a 3-story building.But let the food speak for itself. The banchan already is diverse and authentic, as well as every single dish that came out. The food is cooked by your "aunt" with decent sprinkling of love and nostalgia. It is Korean comfort food done well across the board. We had a tofu soup, galbi, kimchi fried rice and jjajangmyun... (?) - yes, the things from Chinese restaurants.And yes, all of them turned out great. It definitely is created with your aunt's interpretation but proper. The food tends to be on the sweeter side (so a bit additional sugar) but still within normal ranges.Ah, and the staff is super friendly.I am so glad we discovered Soon's. We'll absolutely be back. And one less reason to go down to Lawrence and El Camino.Parking: Plenty of parking in the plaza.“
“I came here on a Saturday around 11:30 for an early lunch. I ordered the Thali - I simply loved it. The variety of food was staggering - ridge gourds curry, plantain curry etc were new to me in a thaali. Other restaurants typically offer the same fare - carrot/beans, aloo etcContents of Thali- rice, choice of Poori/chappathi, dal (yum!), ridgeourd curry, plantain curry, sambhar, rasam (refreshing!), 2 types of pakoda and frymes. Helps that it was unlimited. The food was also not too spicy and most of it can be served to a baby.The restaurant ambience was also nice. Love the paintings and clean space. The wait staff were also so pleasing and nice and served every item with a smile.I really loved this place and cannot recommend it enough“
“This local Palo Alto restaurant is a favorite go to for my very healthy friends. The usual excellent service was experienced. Huge kudos to Dolma, our waitperson We ordered the squash pizza for my guest and I had the double vegan burger. Unfortunately, the two patties were extremely thin and burnt. Thankfully, Dolma was attentive and checked on the quality of the burger. She agreed that it was burnt and returned with a freshly made burger with much higher quality patties. In this case the food was lacking. Tip, have the chefs make thicker patties to avoid a burnt shoe leather result. If for service alone, we will be back.“
“Probably the only restaurant that eat from on a regular basis. Great sushi, reasonable prices and a fast and accommodating service. What more can one want from a restaurant?Update: prices have gone up significantly from before COVID. Some things probably close to 70%.I just ordered for two, take out with a price of 70. That said the roll which I got was amazing, I have never seen such huge rolls with such a high quantity of fish in them.So, this will become a treat, rather than a regular fare, but the treat will be worth it.“
“I have done catering from KASA for Diwali Party for 2 years and every time it was a hit with the guest. Food is delicious (we ordered variety of roti kati rolls and daal), delivery was on time and Anamika was very responsive to all my questions and requests. I will continue catering from KASA for the parties for sure.“
“If you’re looking for some authentic South Indian food then you must definitely visit Saravanaa Bhavan. I highly recommend their filter coffee and tomato onion Uttapam and Vadapav. The ambience is warm and welcoming and prices are reasonable. Everything here is made fresh and served piping hot as per order. Below are a few things we tried here:Idli/Medu WadaRava Onion Masala DosaTomato Onion Chilli UttapamVadapavDahi PuriSheeraFilter CoffeeOverall experience was amazing. Definitely a must visit.“
“Authentic taste with great experience.We ordered Mysore masala dosa , podi idli and Madras dosa. Crispy tasty and real podi chutney.Although sambhar is not spicy at all and it has more sweet taste. Sambhar didn't had drumsticks and masala as it is supposed to be authentically.Chutneys are definitely tasty.Also like their buttermilk specially the fresh fragrance and taste of curry leaves.We had take out yesterday and uttapam is great too.Even samosa were crunchy and imli chutney is damn tasty.“
