    This was a lovely find! I was in MP for an appointment and decided to grab lunch while there. It's in a strip mall looking complex and it didn't get my hopes up walking up to the location. However the indoors is a different story-- very elegant and beautifully decorated. The chairs were so comfy! Now the real deal, food: Ordered chilli chicken, gongura masala dosa, and chettinad chicken dosa-- I enjoyed everything but my favorite was gongura dosa. It did not even need any masala, so good as is. Chutneys and sambhar were good too but nothing special. Filter coffee was good. There's a lot more on the menu that I'd love to try- next time!

    I wish I could give this place 10 stars. I also wish it was down the street from me instead of a 35 min drive. The dosa was incredible! I really liked the ginger chutney, I think it may have had carrot in it as well. The idli was quite bouncy and excellent as a sauce vehicle. The lentil soup went really well with it as did the ginger chutney. Also incredible was the butter chicken which was so tender and so savory and delicious. I regret not getting a second order to go for when the cravings hit. The saag paneer was great but not as mouth watering as the butter chicken. The place itself is in a strip mall with parking in front but the turnoff from the road is easy to miss. There's steeet parking nearby too. You order via QR code and the food comes out quite quickly. We came on a Saturday at lunch and it was not busy but they had many takeout orders. A mix of modern and artistic inside. Would be a good spot for a date, family dinner or friends get together, as long as you come hungry.

    Unassuming no-frills restaurant with amazing authentic Indian food and exceptional service. They offer a selection of dosas like paper, plain khara. They're freshly made and delicious. We also ordered idlis which come with coconut chutney. Their chai is yummy. The goat biryani and the sukha goat is exceptional. Loved all the dishes we ordered. The service is fast and staff are pleasant.

    Ordered for pickup on DoorDash since they don't answer the phone and there's only like 3 tables in the restaurant. The food is really good tho. The dosa is overpriced to me $16! The butter chicken and palak paneer were good. I would come here again for pickup because the space is very small.

    Let me preface this by saying I do NOT like dosa. I've had a lot of dosa over the years and just haven't grown to enjoy it. That being said, DOSA POINT HAS THE BEST DOSA I'VE EVER TASTED. I crave it. I'm soothed by it. It's a flavor explosion in my mouth. I adore it. It adores me. Everyone here is super nice, and the inside is incredibly clean.

    OMG! Amazing food and love the ambiance. This place is such a hidden gem in Menlo Park. Can't wait to go back!

    Samosa good but wish they didn't cut it face down cause the filling falls out after a few minutes
    Lisa H.

    Pretty cute neighborhood Indian eatery - very casual - and very sparse in decoration/ambience. I went for lunch and got the samosas which are little heavier on the dough to filling ratio = prefer a thinner dough with more filling and would definitely request them to not cut them in half prior to serving. They get colder quicker this way and if you don't immediately turn them filling side up - the filling will fall out if you leave them for more than a few minutes before eating them....awkward lol Uttapam was ok but the dosas at the table next to me looked so much more compelling - huge crispy folded over crepe = the sambal served was the smallest serving I've ever seen at a dosa place and you get two of the same chutneys coconut I believe and then on tomato one... If you are in the area - definitely worth checking out

    This is my go to place for dosa! I love their masala dosa and I get it every time. Their medu vada and any of their biryanis are also amazing. They remodeled the inside since the last time I was here and it looks great. Service is also always great.

    Incredible food and kind service! Dosa Point offers a good mix of meat and veg-based Northern and Southern Indian food. My go-to dosa is the Chettinadu Chicken Dosa, which blends a great mix of spices with a perfectly crisped dosa. Some great appetizers include the Kale Pakoras and various Chaat. For drinks, I find myself enjoying either chai, Thumbs Up Indian Cola, or their fresh mango lassi with bits of fresh mint. For dessert, I recommend getting their carrot halwa. Following their remodel, the restaurant has even more seating options and great decorations.

    I tried their paneer and mushroom Biryani again, and at this point I have one more important comment- the paneer / mushroom in the Biryani is too less, I really feel they need to improve here. At some point, it feels like you're eating just flavored rice.. Honestly, given the price of this Biryani compared to other Bay Area awesome Biryani restaurants, they need to buckle up!

    This is my favorite go to Dosa place I love the Chicken Tikka Dosa and Vada so much so I always order it and wash it down in a nice minty mango lassi I always crave this place and they make everything fresh and the Gajar ka halwa is the best I ever had honestly great place close by also. The ambiance has been renovated a lot in this place too which makes it more comfortable and chill. The servicer are so nice I am a regular and here and they know my exact orders and are nice to talk too. Overall great place and I hope to come again soon

    Ettan was a lovely experience for our friends' wedding reception!…read more We enjoyed the cali-indian courses throughout the night as the dishes were packed with refreshing flavor combinations that worked well together. My husband's favorite was the sesame leaf as it was a blend of mango, yogurt, and chaat on a crispy sesame leaf. I particularly liked the kale chutney and the pani puri. My husband said the lamb loin was tough in some areas because of the cut. The menu was confusing as it labeled "g" as in containing gluten instead of "gf" for gluten-free as most menus do. Our server was highly attentive and for every dish, he would let our friend with a gluten allergy know if she could have it our not. The drinks feel heavy-handed and I enjoyed the Dawa (vodka, lime, honey, and demarara) the most. The Kokam and Smoke ( sweet water, mezcal, and orange) felt as smokey as a forest fire to me but other friends who enjoy a good smokey flavor liked it.

It is one of the best salads I've ever had, and it's visually stunning. All the textures of each item complement each other, and it was such a delicious, refreshing dish among all the other rich, heavier dishes. The drinks here are pre-batched, which I dislike because I can't have certain alcohols, so I couldn't order the drink I wanted from their current seasonal menu. I did order a mezcal cocktail, and it was very strong, smoky, and had beautiful ice that said "Ettan". The fried chicken was very good, and I loved the dip that came with it. I would have preferred the chicken tikka in smaller pieces, but it was also very good with some of their homemade butter in the center that was delicious. The chicken was small and came with only a few pieces, given the amount of sauce. I would have either had the sauce in a small pouring container on the side, like the curry accompanying the black cod, or used a different dish because there was so much more sauce than the chicken. The entrees came with 2 half pieces of whey naan and coconut rice. I think it should come with 4 pieces of naan, especially with dishes that come with a lot of sauce. The black cod was tender and delicious- it came wrapped in a banana leaf and a side of really delicious curry sauce. The service is great here and I had a good time and a good experience. I do think it is pricey for Indian food, though they do a great job of plating each dish and making it is visually appealing, but it didn't feel like traditional indian food I've had at other places. Its just more colorful and a little fancier and more done up for like a "fine dining restaurant". I wish they had other options of naan to order like other indian places I've visited- I was really looking forward to that, so I was disappointed I didn't see a butter or garlic or cheese naan on the menu to order. The whey naan was good but not as soft and chewy as other naan I've had. it was more crunchy.

We booked specifically because the dinner options included an a la carte menu, but the execution was terrible from start to finish. Despite having a reservation, we waited 15 minutes just to be seated. Once at the table, we sat for another 30 minutes without even being served water. It took a full 50 minutes before anyone explained the menu or took our order. When the appetizers finally arrived, one was cold to the core and incredibly chewy. We asked for a replacement, but it seemed like they just microwaved the same dish and sent it back. The mains were no better. They didn't even provide fresh plates for the main course. The garlic naan was inconsistent - simultaneously too chewy to eat and so crispy in spots that it crumbled everywhere. We also never received the 'Ruby Guava Zing' that was promised on the menu. The final straw was the dessert: the macaron was raw on the inside. By that point, we were so tired and frustrated that we didn't even have the energy to ask for a replacement. We just wanted to pay the bill and get out. It is clear they cannot manage scale on busy nights. Highly recommend avoiding this place on holidays.

I will say the booth seating was uncomfortable since the seats were too low and squishy which made it difficult to eat. For the food: The jackfruit and avocado tacos were delicious! Hot soft tortillas filled to the brim with warm shredded jackfruit, salsa, and guac made the most delicious veggie taco I've ever had. The beet root croquettes were perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and perfectly spiced on the inside, and all without feeling greasy and heavy. For mains, we got the burrata truffled saag, asparagus khichdi, and dum aloo nazakat. The burrata truffled saag was tasty, but we felt the burrata was way too hard and not creamy possibly because they use burrata made from cow milk instead of buffalo? There was also only one tiny bread crisp that came with it, and it tasted stale maybe from the steam so it was unpleasant to eat. Overall tasty, but wish the burrata was soft and creamier. The asparagus khichdi felt like a scam honestly- no special twist, just plain khichdi for $20??? There was no taste of asparagus, just bits of asparagus stems seemingly pressure cooked with the khichdi. The dum aloo was delicious with a rich and creamy gravy, heartily stuffed and soft potatoes, and stylish presentation. For drinks: The lychee lagoon non-alcoholic beverage was so tasty - very creamy and delicious tropical flavor, almost like a better piña colada mocktail. For dessert: The baked mishti doi was a perfect not too sweet end to dinner. It was light and tart, I loved the apricot compote on it to balance out the tartness of the yogurt.

Eylan is a Cal-Indian cuisine, taking a modern spin on traditional Indian dishes. While Indian food can be quite spicy, this place tones it down and helps keep it flavorful and spice-tolerable for people with a low spice tolerance like myself. We came on Memorial Day Monday at 5 pm, but the restaurant was packed by the time we were leaving about 1.5-2h later. The nature of Eylan's menu is family style, so we ordered a mix of vegetarian and meat dishes to share. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious from appetizer to dessert - you cannot go wrong! Most of the dishes have a bit of a char to them, adding to that flavor profile. While I enjoyed everything, my absolute favorite was the Chilled Green Grape Chaas appetizer. It was a fusion dish, combining elements of the Indian snack pani puri with the Indian yogurt drink chaas. Surprisingly, the dish was both refreshing and packed a punch of flavor.

I don't typically like samosas because in my mind they should be crisp and not heavy, and they always end up being doughy and hard. These are lighter and crispier than normal and super enjoyable. The dahi puri chaat was so good. I love that everything was packed in separate small containers so that everything stayed crisp - I was most worried that this would be soggy when it arrived. My mom was craving biryani, and this did not disappoint. The rice was tender without being soggy, everything was very flavorful and not too spicy. Someone else noted that the butter chicken was the best they'd ever had and I concur. It's sweet, savory and there's tons of kasuri methi in it to give it the most perfect flavor. They were also very generous with the chicken, so I didn't find myself fishing around in a container full of sauce looking for small pieces of meat. My only complaint about this was that the containers were quite small for the price. Garlic naan was my mom's least favorite thing, but I thought it was great. She prefers her naan to be very fluffy, and I prefer mine to be thinner and more on the crisp/chewy side, which this is. Not a ton of garlic flavor, but enough to add a little something to the butter chicken. I would probably go with plain naan next time though.

The hotpot was a fav from China. The team worked well together, were friendly, helpful and gave us dedicated service because we beat the dinner rush on a Saturday. As the place got full, as Anita was the point person for new recommendations, it might help for more of the team to also be able to provide recommendations. It might help, to ask if guests would need help with the menu. Maybe a dinner set would help, especially if it was the group's first time for this type of cuisine.
