We came here on a Sunday at 5PM with a party of 4 to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday. We were…read morethe only party there when we arrived, and there were only about 3 tables total by the time we left, so it definitely felt empty for a weekend evening. First, the interior is beautiful. Whoever redid the old Coco Cabana space did an incredible job- every detail took my breath away. Dublin doesn't have many restaurants this upscale/chic, so it was a nice change of pace. The menu pulls from all different regions of India and plates everything in a really modern, elevated way. Our favorites were the pappad, chicken saoji, butter chicken, garlic naan, and payasam. What we ordered: - Papdi chaat (tableside, $42): So fun and unique to watch them make it tableside, and it tasted good, but $42 for a bowl of chaat felt steep. Realistically I'd pay $27-28 for this. The frozen yogurt in dry ice was a cool visual but honestly it would've tasted better as regular yogurt. - 3 types of chicken tikka masala ($22): Everyone else liked it but I thought the chicken was nothing special. Portion-wise, best for 2 people. It was awkward to cut each of the 3 flavors of chicken thigh into portions. - Pappad and chutney ($14): I LOVE papad with tamarind chutney and their basket had a nice variety of papad. Definitely recommend this one. - Laal Maas ($38): Didn't try it myself but heard it was extremely spicy and the goat was overly fatty. Wouldn't recommend based on the feedback from the table. - Chicken saoji ($34): Chicken and egg in a thick coconut sauce- a crowd pleaser, great if you love coconut curry. - Butter chicken ($32): I liked this a lot. Paired with their garlic naan (some of the best garlic naan I've ever had), it is crazy together. - Payasam ($15): My father-in-law's favorite item of the night similar to kheer seviyan with crispy fried vermicelli mixed into rice pudding. So, so good. We've been to upscale Indian restaurants in the Bay that have disappointed with beautiful interiors and lackluster food. Overall this was some of the best upscale Indian food we've had in the Bay, and the interior is genuinely gorgeous...but let's talk about the elephant in the room: this restaurant is in a Safeway shopping complex in suburban Dublin, nearby a Dave's Hot Chicken. It's a strange juxtaposition for a spot charging these prices. We spent $400 for 4 people, and while every dish was well-executed, the setting made it hard to justify fine-dining-level pricing. We also dined in a mostly empty restaurant on a weekend evening with club/house music playing throughout, which added to the disconnect between the price point and the actual experience. 5 stars for food and interior, but knocking off a star because the fine dining price tag doesn't match the suburban plaza setting.

You can go to Pippal for its ambience and good service, but you will need to order more than you usually do or you will go home hungry!

Our food came out piping hot, and we ordered two dishes: the butter chicken and chicken biryani. The chicken was high-quality, tender, and moist with every bite. The butter chicken was sweeter than I remembered, but I realized this is more of a Nepali-style butter chicken rather than the traditional Indian version. Once I understood that, it made more sense--and it was still delicious! Overall, great food, wonderful service, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely come back!

Wife and i wanted Indian food for dinner. We drove around,…read moretwo previous restaurants were purely Vegetarian. We noticed Gurkha Kitchen and decided to give them a try. Ill start with the positive portion of my review. We ordered Butter Chicken & Garlic Naan. Flavors were very good. I asked to keep spicy on the mild side. It was perfect. We only ordered 1 item because i was a bit put off by the service for a ToGo order. The waiter carried on a LOUD conversation with the other clerk in their language. I felt no opportunity to ask about another dish or appetizers. The restaurant was rather loud with several conversations and laughter going on loudly amongst the young male employees - seemed like they were the owners. As I mentioned, the Butter Chicken was good,, but so is the Butter Chicken from Trader Joe's at 1/4 the price.

Though not officially advertised, I think the place is Punjabi, the rajma chawal is a clear giveaway. The biggest compliment I can give them is that the food was not overly spiced or oiled, which a majority of Indian restaurants are guilty of in order to satisfy the customers. I find that to be 'cheating' in a way, where they are not confident of their abilities to truly shine through the flavor of the dish they're cooking. Clove instead brings out the authentic flavors of the different dishes, like the dal and the aloo by using gentle spices, kadi patta and a bit of ghee. It's like having dessert in Asian countries and actually tasting the underlying flavors like ube, or lemon, or matcha, and not just tasting an overload of sugar. Another funny note. My wife's stomach felt totally fine after, and she usually is queasy after rich restaurant food, especially Indian. Also loved that the roti did not come lathered in ghee and came plain with some simple onions on top. Very authentic. Service was fantastic.

Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and homemade -- and all of this for just $16.99!! So far, this is honestly one of the best lunch thalis I've had anywhere in the Bay Area. Outstanding food and incredible value for the price. The ambience is also very pleasant, and the restaurant itself is quite spacious. It's a nice, comfortable, family-friendly place, which makes the overall dining experience even better. I also had a chance to meet and talk with Chef Mr. Siva. He was very humble, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the food. I feel this is exactly the kind of restaurant that people should support and help grow. Before leaving, I also got a mutton biryani to-go. They gave me a small cup to taste beforehand, and based on that, I already know it's going to be really good! I'm giving this review 5 stars because that's the maximum Yelp allows, but honestly, the food, freshness, quality, and value here deserve 7 stars -- or whatever the highest rating you can name!
