Cried chicken
Betty C.

Super gorgeous restaurant in downtown Palo Alto. Lots of unique bites and delicious flavors that are perfect for sharing with a group. They also have a small kids menu for kids that is not advertised (pizza, chicken). Hubby and I enjoyed our meal. We did share with them it was our anniversary but they didn't give us anything special to celebrate.

Visited on a Saturday night around 6pm with a friend, I was able to quickly grab a seat at the bar for full service. Restaurant was a little busy but still lots of open tables but these filled up as the meal progressed so would suggest a reservation if you do plan to visit. Drinks: Rosa - sweet with a touch of bubbly, slight passion fruit flavor with subtle floral notes Steady Rain balanced and refreshing with a nice creamy foam, slight punch from the ginger Food: Chutney sampler- good, came with 3 types of chutney and eggplant one which was flavorful and more of a spiced stew served chilled, kale was vegetal with a nice creamy note, tomatillo was bright and refreshing the papadam were crispy with a toasty nutty note were great for dipping Ananas pani puri - great, light, tangy and refreshing with a vibrant pineapple water to fill the crispy puri shells really set this apart from others I've tried, tamarind chutney added a bit of sweetness, great contrast with f textures and flavors Lamb Galouti Kebab- good comes with four bite sized canapé, lamb was more of a kofta griddled with a lovely blend of curried spices on top of a small saffron bread with a bit of a creamy cashew sauce and a touch of mint well balanced and worth a try Paneer Kalimirch - solid- very rich and indulgent, house made paneer was a great hearty squeaky texture, yogurt sauce was creamy rich and lightly spiced with a subtle sweetness from the onion, whey naan bread was great for scooping up and soaking up the sauce Service was okay, quick and efficient upfront but getting the check took a bit of time. Water was refilled periodically. Staff seemed knowledgeable about the menu with solid recommendations. Overall enjoyed Ettan, great spot for elevated Indian cuisine, with a nice variety of small and large plates along with solid cocktails as well.

Black Cod

Came here with the fam to celebrate my bday - and what a celebration it was. First impression - what a beautiful space - LOVED it - so beautiful with the different hanging chandeliers and plants - and the wall paper added more charm. And they have sofa type seating mixed in - so very comfy - like having family over! First thing I do want to mention however - is it's a LONG dinner experience. They tend to do a dish at a time - they don't load up the table with a bunch of dishes. At most you'd have two dishes so given we ordered so much food - it was pretty much a little over 2 hour dining experience. So just be warned. So we started off with fresh oysters - and the reason was due to 1) we love fresh oysters but 2) the sauce sounded interesting - with fermented chilis and curry leaf ponzu. It was a flavor bomb!! Made a huge difference with the difference sauce and a great surprise!! The other ABSOLUTE FAVORITE is their Sesame Leaf appetizer. We opted to share (you get 2 per order and there was 4 of us) because we had the oysters - but now I know the next time - EVERYONE gets their own! It was one of the BEST BITES ever! It's a leaf in a batter that is topped with pomegranate, chickpeas, yogurt, sesame chikki, and cilantro. The texture, flavors, was AMAZING and so unexpected. I love when it's not just the flavors but the textures too!! highly recommend as a starter... And our last appetizer was the Pani Puri (a semolina puff). This is actually one of my favorite dishes and I try to get it if the restaurant offers it. Here's where I think I have a bit of bias. The place I usually go to - offers it with a tamarind juice - here you get it with pineapple-mint and kokum chutney. I don't think I'm a fan of this flavor profile for my pani puri - but I'm glad we tried it... overall it's a delicious bite. We also decided to try their cast iron money bun - and it came with their homemade butter and eggplant chutney. I'm not sure what they cover their bread rolls with but it gave it a nice texture. It was tasty and I'm glad we tried it!! Especially with their soft creamy butter and that eggplant chutney! Perfect vehicle for them!! For our main course we got the Black Cod and Lamb Shank. The Black Cod - WOWZA... It's black cod wrapped in a banana leaf, with spinach & mango masiya. There's a delicious sauce they top the black cod with and it comes with coconut rice!! This was SO GOOD and I could eat the whole thing myself. The Black Cod had the tender decadent texture but those flavors was so different and amazing together. That sauce was very good - the call it "malabar sauce" - went well on top of the coconut rice. And the Lamb Shank was AMAZING as well. That sauce - the nalli nihari sauce, ginger-green apple kachumber was so different and the lamb was tender but the flavor with the sauce was very good. It's served with whey naan. I love that they can take an ingredient and really elevate and make it sing with unique and different flavors and textures!! We were so stuffed we skipped dessert but we ate up everything and I'm so happy we got to try everything we wanted. There's still more on the menu so for round two - next time!!

The food was great and the staff were nice. The restaurant had really nice aesthetic. We went on a Friday night with a reservation, so it was pretty busy, and it took a while for us to order and for the food to come out. The menu was only one page, which was a little limited for someone picky like myself. We were seated outside next to some big flower pots with plants, and since it was pretty dark, I noticed an insect crawling near our food. I should've taken a picture but didn't. As for the food, everything we ordered was good. We got the lamb shank, biryani (which came with a drumstick and a small piece of chicken breast), and lamb galouti kebab. My favorite was the kebab, it was very tasty and tender. The sauce/curry that came with the lamb shank was also really flavorful. The biryani was good but tasted pretty similar to other biryanis I've had.

Lamb shank

Finally came here with the kids for our 10th anniversary. This place looks like a palace, both indoor and outdoor areas look appealing. We were seared outdoors. The menu seems to have changed quite a bit from 2 years ago as I could not find most of the items old reviews on Yelp were referring to lol. So I had to mostly go with my gut feeling: the fried chicken (which is one of this place's signatures), the lamb shank and brisket (shocking to find beef in an Indian restaurant). By the way the manager dropped by and took our order: very patient, very kind, and knowledgeable (you bet) about the menu. The brisket was ordered per manager's recommendation. The starch that comes with the main dishes can be swapped out to your liking. Lamb shank: 5/5. Perfectly cooked, interestingly flavored. I particularly enjoyed the sauce. Finished it all. Fried chicken: 4.5/5. Tasty, flavorful, pairs well with the yogurt sauce that comes with it. Portion is on the small side so beware if you are sharing with over 4 people. Brisket: 2.5/5. The flavor is on point. The sauce that comes with it is good too. But the meat is a bit too dry or stringy for my taste. Perhaps I was too hyped and it did not live up to my expectations. Portion is pretty decent though. Overall I really enjoyed the environment and service here. Seems like a perfect place for business gatherings or special events. At this price point my bar for 5 star would be higher and unfortunately this place did not meet that bar this time. By the way, the waiter kindly offered to provide kid's menu options that are non-spicy as most of the items on the regular menu are spicy to some extent. We liked it hot but the little ones not so much.

Jackfruit sliders
Parnika N.

This restaurant has been so popular, especially after featuring in the Michelin Guide! The ambiance is gorgeous, with a mix of blue and white that is super pleasing to the eyes, almost like a Moroccan-inspired decor. We ordered a few dishes, starting with the raw oysters with fermented chili sauce and curry leaf ponzu sauce. The shellfish was extremely fresh, and the condiments were refreshing and complemented it perfectly. I particularly loved the ponzu sauce, it was so zesty! We also ordered the jackfruit sliders, and they honestly gave major Mumbai Vada Pav vibes. They were spicy and extremely flavorful; I almost forgot it was jackfruit! The ananas (Pineapple) pani puri was a refreshing flavor bomb! For mains, we got the black truffle cheese naan with cultured butter. I loved the butter; the naan was filled with cheese, and the truffles weren't prominently earthy; hence, they added a touch of umami. We also got the Kali Miri paneer with garlic naan, along with the lamb and squash with quinoa pulao. The paneer and naan were probably the most classic-tasting dish on the table and were deliciously prepared. The lamb and squash were equally good, but the quinoa pulao was the real star, a little spicy and super minty. We also got the dosa, which was good, but it got a bit overshadowed by the other fantastic dishes. The little diner with us got the French toast with jaggery syrup and passion fruit ricotta ice cream, which he totally devoured. While I did not taste the French toast, I did sample the ricotta ice cream, and it was light, fruity, sweet, and slightly tart, but delicious nonetheless. The presentation wasn't performative or chaotic; it was stunning and minimalist. Also, shoutout to Chef Srijith Gopinathan for his distinct take on modern contemporary Indian Cuisine. Service was surprisingly fast even though the restaurant was packed. Dining at Ettan made our family weekend lunch truly memorable.

We had a special bridal shower event here that was beautifully set up. We were seated outside which was lovely until it got hot and it was really hot. Service was quick and smooth. The food was pre-fixed and every dish was fun to try. First time trying pani puri which was fun. salad, shrimp, cod, and butter chicken were tasty. Didn't love the samosa and I think by the time we got the lamp chop everyone was too full so I took some home. I think my husband enjoyed it? we got to try a lot of their cocktails and they were okay. definitely a great spot for lovely photos and special events. It was fun, but I think some hole in the walls back home hit the spot just as well.

Smoked Butter Chicken

IMO Eylan is sooo much better than Ettan. Updating after going through additional restaurants.The main issues I had were more emphasized. The lack of seasoning is really unacceptable for a fine dining style Indian Restaurant especially the one the likes of Ettan. The rushed service again is not acceptable, especially if you are characterized as a Fine Dining Restaurant.

Paneer
Neeta M.

5/5 for food, service and ambiance! We celebrated a friends milestone birthday and everything worked perfectly. The food and drinks are made with fresh ingredients. The dishes have a twist to it. The servers are so attentive and helped with our guest who had allergies as well. The decor is out of this world! So classy and gives you a glimpse of India with the artwork displays - whether it's a Vespa Scooter or a hand cart at the entrance. Go there for your milestone celebrations for a multi course meal or cocktail and appetizers. They have sister restaurants in Menlo Park called Eylan and Copra in SF city - all of them are incredible!

Loved the taste of every dish at Ettan!! Very rich in flavors and beautifully presented. I just wish they were a bit more generous with the portions. I never understand why some places cut quantity down in the name of fine dining. Plenty of amazing fine dining spots manage reasonable servings. Here, the portions felt noticeably small.

Ettan Salad
Ms. Lala L.

The restaurant is beautiful; I enjoyed sitting upstairs and appreciating the decor of both the interior and exterior dining areas. The Ettan salad, I could eat a million times. 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.

Despite the restaurant being mostly empty when we got there at 5:30 on Sunday we were told there were only a few tables available, no problem, but then throughout the meal and as we left all those other tables were also still available. That bit aside, food was excellent. Sometimes I am skeptical of elevated Indian or fusion but this was phenomenal. My favorite was the seasonal asparagus kofta which was sooooooooo good. The curry was rich and flavorful and the asparagus was a perfect spring choice. We also loved the paneer. The setting was very cute and service was fairly prompt. There was an extensive cocktail list but I was not willing to waste space on anything but curry.

Ananas Pani Puri- pineapple-mint, kokum chutney, coconut first extract, semolina puffs
Jessica A.

Ettan was a lovely experience for our friends' wedding reception! 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. The atmosphere of the restaurant feels like a nice summer night and we enjoyed the mezzanine.

I knew it was on California Ave. This was an old haunt of mine back when The Edge dance club was the place to be in this part of Palo Alto. Over the years I had still visited the area for its restaurants and the old camera store Keeble & Shuchat (closed for many years). Stepping into the very dark bar lit by small candles on the table I was immediately reminded at how old I was. It would say it was intimate, but it was a bit too loud to be that. However, it did have an intimate vibe. This joint's specialty (I assumed) was a menu full of house drinks. Sadly, I did not recognize any of them. I went with "You Should Try It" and it was fine. I could not describe what it tasted like, other than it was a mixed drink. My buddy ordered a "Vesper" but it didn't seem like the one Daniel Craig ordered in "Casino Royale". Service was okay and our server was very busy. Still, we got our drinks without having to wait too long. I had forgotten what it was like to go to a popular bar. Pic time.

The environment had a nice dim moody atmosphere. It was quite an intimate space and the interior was cozy. We decided to sit at the bar. The service was good. It's a first come first serve seating. Our server worked quickly to get us seated and we were handed menus. As soon as I saw the menu, I think it was right for this to be called a French Californian restaurant because I noticed not all the items on the menu were French. Some restaurants call it French when it's really French fushion. We decided to share poulet roti knowning that the portions were going to be American. It was perfect for 2 people. I don't know how 1 person could have devoured the entire plate themselves. What I really appreciated about this dish is that the chef didn't over dress the salad. I'm not sure why Americans like to drench their salad leaves in sauce to the point where the dressing is all you tasting leaving out the fresh ingredients. It was perfectly dress. Not too much not too little, just enough to lightly coat the salad leaves. The poulet was very well cooked and it was accompanied by a side of gravy. On top of that, the salad come with decent sized crutons and pork belly. I like how the chef made the crutons properly. Some restaurants thinly slice some bacon and sprinkle it over the salad; whereas, this restaurant had pork belly shaped the same size and shape as the crutons which added more texture and flavor to the salad. Both ingredients blended very well into the salad to the point where I didn't know if the bite I had taken had a cruton or a pork belly. Throughout our meal, our server made sure we were well accommodated asking for feedback and inviting us to have drinks/dessert. This is definitely worth it and I would return here again!
