“Great food - every dish we ordered was high quality - the kids cheese dosa was perfect with what looked like Amul cheese. The owner kindly supplemented the chutney with ketchup / hersheys chocolate as an alternative when he learnt our kid had nut allergy. The Chicken Dum Biryani was flavorful and huge portion size. The rava dosa was probably the best we’ve had in the Bay Area. Highly recommend eating here, the owner was extremely kind and went out of his way to make our meal enjoyable.“

“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.“

“We ordered chicken biryani and steamed chicken momos. The momos looked like potstickers unlike the ones i see here with the reviews. This is the first time we're having it though so I'mnot sure.I really liked the chicken biryani. Itbwas spicy for me. If you can't tolerate spice, ask them if they can lower the heat. They did not skimp on the chicken. Portion sizes are on the smaller side though. One order is good for 2 people with normal appetite. If you have a huge appetite or hungry, an order is good for 1 person.Staff was very friendly. The place is small. Maybe just 6, max 8 tables inside. If you come on a weekday before dinner time, I think you will be ok. There is also outside seating so it is not a problem. I would go back to try other dishes besides the ones we ordered.“

“We love this place! Anthony--wow!--what a great bartender and room manager! The drinks are superb, and though we know they're all premixed by the house, there's still wonderful flair in preparing them (ours had a little stick-on-fire garnish!), and serving them with heart and enthusiasm. Plus, Anthony keeps the room and bar super-clean and tick-tocking along all evening. He's lovely, warm, and efficient. GREAT JOB. ONE THING TO MANAGEMENT, THOUGH: This place feels like a discovery--a little speakeasy. So the ambiance gets ruined by the fluorescent light and bathroom hallway view. First (and my dad ran restaurants, so I have a little experience with this), I'd either hang a full length of beading that blocks light and bathroom, or I'd consider a full length door that goes up to the ceiling. Beads (or those metals strands that you can get at a hardware store would work) will be cheap. And owners should sit up on the bar in the evening and notice that the fluorescent is right in your eyes, and the view looking toward your partner at the bar is pretty bland and destroys the vibe. (My dad always said owners should sit where their customers sit and feel if the chairs are comfy, if the light's right, if the place lends itself to groove or romance or cool.) No one wants to feel like they're drinking in the bathroom hallway. Plus the room is so, so cool, it deserves its own separation and specialness. Thanks for the great drinks and food!“
