kadhai paneer, Hariyali Kofta and bread basket
Krupa T.

We went for lunch on a Friday so it was quiet but it is a popular take out spot. The server was attentive but not too attentive which was a nice balance. The food really hit the spot. The kadhai paneer was different than I was expecting but still delicious! Worth a try!

Butter Chicken, lamb curry, Malai Paneer
Kim T.

Not a bad lunch adventure Got there right as they opened didnt seem to get too busy early week Service: friendly Ambiance intimate, my eyes started to burn though I think they were cutting up onions or cooking on high heat and not good ventilation for the dining room Food Mango lassi fresh and cold how I like it Butter chicken good taste but lot of sauce over actual meat Lamb curry not my thing, lamb was gamey imo Paneer curry tasty! Garlic naan cooked perfectly All in all a decent meal

Delicious Indian food with good service in the heart of Pleasanton on Main Street. This small restaurant is clean, nicely decorated and feels like a more upscale but casual Indian restaurant. My husband and I have always enjoyed their food and recently dined with a group of 6 people. We enjoyed our delicious dinner! Some of my favorites- Tandoori Chicken-large platter of well seasoned tender chicken was a favorite! Garlic Naan-we couldn't get enough of their fresh garlic naan. Soft, chewy thin bread with toasty edges. Chicken Tikka-flavorful, thick sauce with tender chicken breast. Love the spices and heat. Butter Chicken-another favorite especially with my friends who don't love spicy. It's not overly creamy and the chicken was very tender. Chicken Biryani-beautiful presentation of a delicious chicken and rice dish! Delicious dinner and I highly recommend this Indian restaurant!

Somosa
Erich L.

Someone recommended this place and it was a great experience! Tried the Somosa appetizer, butter chicken, biryani and Peshawari masala with garlic naan. Everything was tasty with a good balance of spices and flavor. Good service and reasonable prices. I would recommend this place for anyone who is dining in downtown Pleasanton. Note that pretty much everything has dairy products except for the vegetarian options.

We wanted to try an Indian place somewhere away from home and it was a hot day. We were able to sit outside with our dog which was a plus. The food was a little different and not the normal Indian food. Everything was good and the service was attentive.

Great service and amazing food Nice cozy restaurant that is right on Main Street. Definitely will be back here and bring more friends

Butter Chicken
Lyn S.

This is my favorite Indian restaurant. I have been going here for years. I can't believe I haven't reviewed this restaurant. Let me start by saying that the people that works here are super nice and friendly. Shout out to CJ who remembers us by our name and he is just such an very nice person. We come here so much that CJ knows our regular favorites. During this visit we tried a new appetizer suggested by CJ Aloo Tiki Chat - its potato type appetizer with cottage cheese, and topped with tamarind and meat sauce. So good. Will order this again 5/5 We also ordered Garlic and Butter Naan which is always important to order and so good to dip in the sauces of dish to order. 5/5 Basmati Rice 5/5 - I don't know what it but the basmati rice here is so good I never leave the place without ordering extra. Butter Chicken 5/5 - the creaminess of the sauce and tenderness of the chicken and all the amazing spices and flavor makes me keep coming back for this place!AMAZING ! Warning if you order this dish you won't be able to stop eating! Thats how good it is. Subz Korma - 5/5 - similar to butter chicken the sauce is just to die for and the freshness of the vegetables cook to perfection is just so good. The vegetables are not overcooked you can taste a bit of a crunch on the cauliflower, peas, carrots, string beans and potatoes. Its like the seasoned then steamed to perfection and cooked in the sauce. It's like heaven in your mouth! Australian Lamb Rack - comes in a sizzling dish with sweet onions the lamb is seasoned with spices and grilled to perfection that is another favorite. 5/5 Potato and peas Samosa - its like an empanada with a kick! The dough of the samosa and the filling is just so prefect. Dip in their tamarind or mint sauce will sure satisfy your palate. 5/5 Every dish we ordered can be modified for its spiciness. Honestly if I rate this place above and beyond. I just love this place and I keep coming back. I will be back again this week! Note: some dishes not pictured I got excited when the food came and I forgot to take some of the photos. If you haven't tried tris place and you like Indian food you must try this because you are missing out!

This is second time visited this location with my friends for his birthday. The staff were very nice and helpful as they helped me a lot with the selection of the dishes. The dishes tasted super better than expected. Even the chief came and asked us about the food, that did we liked it or not. I would say this restaurant has the one of the best food that I have tried in recent time. I would also suggest others to visit there and try the chief special dishes.

This restaurant has tried to stand out from other Indian restaurants, trying to make it upscale. It's not actually a white cloth fine dining restaurant, but they have modified their flavors to not align with the common other Indian restaurants that we usually see..and most of them are enjoyable. The quantity of appetizers might not be all that interesting for few visitors , but it's surely worth a try.

Ak Lounge & Grill opened a year ago where Kimono was. Exterior similar as was parking lot. Interior…read moremay have slight alterations. Didn't see the faint "open" sign in window initially. Walked around the building looking for the entrance. Tripped at least once on uneven payment. Upon entering I was greeted, given a menu, assigned a seat at the bar. Seeing it was a drink menu, I asked for a food menu. After consultation with bartender, I ordered. He gave order to waitress. Never saw him again. 5ish minutes later, waitress came over to inquire what I wanted to drink. "Water" i replied. Water came 12 minutes later with my food. Offerings: South India fare: soup, entrees, salads, entrees, vegetarian, non-vegetarian. Also pasta, India habachi. Bites: Dakshin Chicken Chettinad (18.99) med. Spicy. Small bowl with big spoon -boneless chicken pieces slowly braised in a savory with many spices (garlic, cumin, black pepper, star anise, funnel seeds, kok slaps...), south curry leaves, and coconut. Every bite deliz. -very condensed savory mix with plentiful Unami. Hotness from peppers not chilis. Tandoori garlic naan (3.99) ordered this. Got plain. Tasted plain. Not spiciness. Desired garlic not to repel vampires but to lower my cholesterol. Didn't discover discrepancy till I checked receipt. When finished, I asked the new bartender for bill. He called waitress. She came over and asked can she clear plates? "Ok" I said. She did and disappeared. Asked bartender again for my bill. Decor is lots of bright lites, big dining area, 2 flatscreens tuned to sports. A fish tank with no fish, lots of hanging faux leaves from ceiling & the left wall. 3.5 stars Food wonderful. Service & decor underwhelming. Doubtful repeat.

I was…read morecurious about the menu options and it seemed pretty popular from the amount of people at the restaurant, so we opted to dine in. We sat down and while browsing the menu briefly, we realized the options were are vegetarian and there were no meat options. My partner was slightly disappointed, but he ordered one of the thali options, and I ended up getting the chole bhature. The thali was a bit underwhelming, the daal was alright, but other curry dishes were not super appetizing and there was one sauce that seemed a bit sour and watery. However, I couldn't identify the distinct flavors, so it wasn't something that left an impression. I did enjoy the kheer (rice pudding), as my partner is not a fan of dessert. The chole bhature was our favorite, as the fresh, puffy bread and the chickpea curry was spicy and flavorful and we enjoyed it quite a bit. I had initially planned to order something else, and ended up changing my mind last minute. I'm glad we tried the chole bhature, totally worth it! The bhel puri (puffed rice) dish that came with the thali was pretty good too, as it had a nice mix of toppings & savory flavors. Customer service was excellent and attentive, I had mentioned that we had a reservation and were short on time, so they were quick with bringing out our order. They did initially forget the tea that was part of the thali, but I alerted a staff member and they brought it out promptly. Same thing for requesting the check or asking for take out boxes, it was efficient and the restaurant staff were helpful and friendly. It's also great the restaurant offers monthly specials, and the interior was pretty standard but had a good amount of seating. I'd likely return to try other chaat items on the menu. Possibly worth visiting if you're in the area and looking for a flavorful, vegetarian meal.
