    Dal Makhani
    Prerna R.

    We went to Aurum with a group of friends to celebrate. The dishes we ordered were delicious and the presentation was very impressive. Our waiter was very accommodating and took take of us well. It was an evening well done!

    Nice restaurant serving up Indian food. The smell and flavors were robust and delicious. Service was great and food was filling.

    Looking for a good unique yet traditional Indian restaurant experience in Los Altos? Look no further. Ambiance is very relaxing and nice. Server's were friendly as well as very attentive. Fun unique twist on traditional Indian dishes.

    Apricot Kofta Curry
    Nancy L.

    What an exquisite meal! Presentation is phenomenal! Turned classic Indian dishes into modern delights. I'm not a big fan of kofta but I loved the sauce they came with it . Very similar to better chicken. The mushroom and chicken was presented like a chicken pot pie! The lobster was just ok because the meat was a bit tough. The fish and cauliflower appetizers were both very crispy. The fish came with a refreshing salad. The beet and orange salad was also very refreshing. Overall a very elegant dinner.

    Poached Lobster with tamarind coconut sauce

    We came in on Valentine's day when they were doing their fixed price menu and had a reservation, so we were seated without any wait. The ambiance was lively and warm. Our server was very helpful and friendly. As part of our menu we got: - baked tapioca cheese naan - This was delicious and soft and I loved the savory sauce on top. It was a great amuse bouche to start with. Appetizer: - saffron chicken escalopes, winter radish salad - Chicken was very tender and tasted great with the sauces! - tandoori malai shrimp, raspberry chutney - it was delicious, but the shrimp was slightly burnt, but a great combination with the raspberry chutney. Main Course: The main course came with amritsari kulcha (though I prefer regular naan over this), forbidden rice pulao and chole masala (which was okay). - Poached Lobster with tamarind coconut sauce - This was very smooth and rich in flavor and very creamy! - braised lamb loin laal maas - It was a bit on the spicer side and I loved this curry! The lamb was very tender to eat. Dessert: - white chocolate mousse with fudge - This was delicious! The fudge was not very sweet and combined with the sweeter white chocolate mousse, was perfect! The honeyed nuts around the fudge added a nice crunchiness. Overall, we had a great time and will be back in the future to try other things from the menu!

    Jhalmuri
    Hemant D.

    Had dinner here tonight Really enjoyed the food We ordered Jhalmuri and Mushroom truffle Oil paratha for appetizer. Both were really good. For main course, we ordered the Purple (eggplant crescent) and it was outstanding. Dal Makhani was ok. The garlic naan and roti and rice were all ok Server was great ambiance was good, small place and crowded

    Ghewar dessert

    This place has a nice Indian food menu, and the service is great. The ambiance is intimate and parking lot right outside is very much first come first serve. I recommend the okra dish and the pesto paneer appetizer was alright. My boyfriend and I pretty much ordered our food based on other yelp reviews. The okra didn't disappoint! The goat cheese bread was tasty and the ghevar dessert we got was a very unique experience dish. The flavors were on point, and it's a very very light dish. Will try the kheer dessert next time. This place is chill, pretty quiet for a busy restaurant so good place to have conversations.

    Heaven Can Wait - Toffee Puddng
    Rahul T.

    We visited Aurum on a Friday afternoon and we fell in love with the food and the ambiance! I am not sure why the rating is 3.8/5 as of writing this review. I am surprised reading reviews and seeing people bash this place. What we ordered? We ordered two Office Lunches comprising of the following items: 1. Appetizers: Gilroy - Chicken Kebab & Kasoori - Methi Paneer 2. Entree: Ivas - Apricot Kofta & Two Good - Mushroom Butter Chicken 3. Dessert - Heaven Can Wait - Toffee Pudding & Out of Way - Tapioca Kheer Feedback on each of these: Appetizers were delicious, you can see from the pictures that the presentation is top-notch. I can attest that the appetizers were really good and cooked to perfection. Apricot Kofta with Crispy Peas was to die for, we've never tasted any kofta gravy like this before. It was very well balanced and the kofta's killed it. Moving on to Butter Chicken, the chicken was nicely done and the gravy was good. I've tasted better gravy before but the one thing that surprised me was the hint of tamarind in the gravy. I was missing the tanginess that is usually brought about by a healthy sum of tomatoes used in the gravy. Nothing wrong with it, simply stating my experience and opinion. Desserts surprised us, I was expecting the Toffee Pudding to knock it out of the park and it kinda did but the undisputed king was the Tapioca Kheer. The amount of pistachios in it was marvelous and I have no other words to describe it. Service: We liked the service, it was snappy and they were observing us to make sure we don't sit idle, without food for too long. Since it was a three course meal, they did it properly with each course arriving on time and made us wanting more. Ambiance: It is an intimate setup, atleast that's what I feel. It was a quiet Friday afternoon, we could talk to each other without the usual noise that surrounds one at such restaurants. It's nothing crazy like Eaton or Rooh but that's what separates Aurum from them! Each place has its own vibe and story, comparing them with others just kills it. All in all, full 5 on 5 from me.

    Upscale Indian restaurant with pleasant and cozy ambience. Service was top notch and most dishes had a very creative presentation and interesting names. While the flavors were good they didn't live upto the high expectations set by the visually appealing food. We tried several items including Mr Potato, Lahori Fish, Patiala Lamb curry, spice girl chicken biryani, Spinach paneer lasagne and Apricot kofta. I loved the crispy and tangy Mr Potato and the creamy Apricot kofta. I found the prices a bit steep for the overall experience. It's a good spot for that once in a while special occasion but not otherwise.

    Crux: Fusion Indian food with great vibes and decent portion size. Scene: Located near the farmers market in Los Altos. We came here on a weekday in the evening. A great place for date night. Attentive service. Inventive names of menu items. Spinach Paneer Lasagna: New twist to the usual paneer options. Disguised the spinach in an intersting way. Fish kebabs missable but the accompanying sauce was yum Dahi ke kebab was the best among the appetizers Pesto Naan was the best among the breads.

    Seasonal dessert

    This restaurant is above and beyond in service, food quality and presentation. I highly recommend this exotic Indian restaurant for a different adventure! The food is truly unique and fine dining category. I've been to many Indian restaurants, however never had this level of Indian food. Highly recommend, this restaurant for any occasion. The restaurant staff are friendly and hospitable.

    Mr Potato

    Los Altos' only Michelin rated restaurant and its celebrity chef Manish Tyagi who did Beat Bobby Flay are a hidden gem in the peninsula gourmet Indian food scene. It has become one of my go to places for a business lunch or dinner with friends. Some of my favorites in appetizers - Mr Potato, a deliciously fresh take on potato chaat, Beet and Citrus salad and dahi ke kabab. The "Two Good" mushroom butter chicken is the best butter chicken I have tasted anywhere and the spinach paneer lasagna is surprisingly delicious - definitely not pasta! The Patiala Lamb curry is also very well done. Highly recommend a vist!

The restaurant entrance is just outside the elevator - it's easy to miss, so keep an eye out! I've included a couple of photos for reference. The service is friendly and comfortable. The environment is beautiful, chic, and feels a bit fancy, much like the food - we enjoyed everything we ordered. The care and thoughtfulness in the dishes are evident. The smoked lentils with roti were my favorite. While the dishes tend to be on the smaller side and pricier than your average Indian restaurant, Eylan is truly a step above. I look forward to returning to try more!

We ended up spending a couple hours at dinner here. Items are definitely pricey but this restaurant stands out due to its innovative twist on classic Indian dishes. Starting off with drinks - the Bombay Green cocktail was amazing. It was an extremely refreshing blend of subtle dry spices and perfect for a summer day. Favorite dishes: Eylan Fried Chicken: A must order. You MUST save the aioli to enjoy with your mains and any breads. The aioli was the star of the dish - it had a fiery Indian pickle base and was so flavorful. This was also really filling and generously plated especially for not a main entree item. Roasted Cornish hen: Eylan has a savory take on the classic butter chicken with a green tomatillo base and it's amazing! A good portion for two, but you may need to double up on the recommended bread accompaniment. Eylan Eye Pull apart flaky bread that melts in your mouth but the portion can definitely be bigger. In terms of vegetarian food, the green apple chaas pani puri made for a great chilled appetizer and prepared us well for the rich and deep fried ricotta kebabs. I've never had anything like these dishes before! The only miss for vegetarian orders was the pineapple kebab. It felt pretty lacking and plain especially in comparison to its description. Will definitely be back!

Tonight I was craving a home style chicken and rice dish similar to what my mom makes . Now I know it's not possible to get that from a restaurant, but the closest to that is the Donne biryani preparation that a few places offer in the Bay Area. So I looked up Yelp and found this spot. The fact that it already had 4.9 stars was reassuring but I didn't put too many expectations on it. But what I did was call the place and make sure they'd be open by the time I made that 28 mile drive. I spoke to a person named Sagar who took my order and told me to take my time getting there and drive carefully! Husband and I got there around 9:30pm and it's a cloud kitchen setup with kitchens in the back and a point of sale kiosk and counter at the front. As instructed I called Sagar and he came up to the counter with my food, and also let me know he had added a free dessert since I drove all the way from Hayward . Husband and I got home and immediately dug in and what can I say, the flavors totally took me back to my mom's kitchen. The Donne biryani was bursting with taste, and what made it superb was that the flavors were in balance, with neither the spices nor the aromatics being overpowering in any way. The other dish, the pepper chicken was epic by itself, and should have been enjoyed with a bread of some sort, because the biryani didn't need any accompaniment. As if this meal wasn't divine enough the cherry on top was the pineapple kesari dessert that Sagar kindly added to our takeout bag. Thanks Nalapaka, for a taste of home, away from home !
