Came here and got the Chicken Korma, lamb kabob, Gosh Nann, and hand pulled laghman…read more My favorite was the hand pulled laghman as the beef and noodles were both great textures. The lamb kabob was a bit overcooked on some of them, but the good pieces were indeed quite good. The chicken korma actually disappointed because i didn't think anything really stood out from it. The flat noodles were also a bit overcooked IMO. The gosh nann was interesting because it was this oily pancake with meat inside and that was pretty unique. One thing is that this place is very oily, so for those that are looking to avoid it, just be mindful of that. All in all not bad, but probably closer to a 3.5 star for me.

Overall: 4 stars…read more Always tasty on Uber Eats, so have been meaning to try this restaurant in person for a while and finally got around to it. Owned by a winner of a reality cooking competition, it makes sense why it is priced at a premium, and with that follows pleasantly attentive service, innovative dishes, and comfy seating. I found the food to be generally pleasant, and the only thing that is unpleasant is their proximity to the train station that interrupts conversation on an intervalized basis. Old Siam - I see the vision of this luxury take on an old fashioned, which is flavorally accurate. I think the garnish is a bit too simple beyond the block ice to properly convey that look. Roti Mataba - Intriguing dish as I've never seen roti used to encapsulate before, but its smart as it creates a flaky exterior that pairs incredibly well with the curry sauce. Pad See Ew - Large portion of a classic dish that is served on the lighter side but still tasty. I would clean up on the presentation though. Mango Sticky Rice - Beautiful arrangement of mango sticky rice that shows great knife skills of the mango. You can see the heart shape starting to form of the sticky rice as well, which is beautiful. I think it coild be even more advantageous to use rose to dye for a more warming color palette.

The hummus came with a few slices of pita, which our server refilled without us even asking. The octopus was just okay as I thought it could have been more tender, but flavor was good. For my main, I ordered the red velvet salmon ($39). It was cooked perfectly and served on top of a bed of spinach and mashed potatoes. I was pretty stuffed after I consumed about 70% of the plate, and staff graciously boxed up the rest. They also gave us a small birthday treat on the house. I think it was a small brownie and vanilla ice cream. Perfect for a small bite for everyone without the guilt of overeating. There is a 4% living wage surcharge though and I want to say it's clearly labeled on the menu as it should be, but I honestly can't remember. I'm seeing more and more of these pop up around Palo Alto, and I do wonder if it truly all benefits staff or if it just goes into the owner's pockets. Some places make this an optional fee, so it's just confusing if we should blindly trust where our money goes. Anyway, that's just my soapbox. I know the restaurant industry is tough.

We waited about 15 minutes for a table, and while we were in line we had to write our order down on a piece of paper. The Veggie King was very tasty. I got it hot, and the savory broth was really satisfying while the noodles were cooked really well. It also had hash browns in it, which I'd never had in ramen before, but they added a lot and tasted good on their own. They were a little hard to eat with chopsticks at first, but once they got soggy from the broth, they tasted nice. The place has a very nice, traditional-looking vibe. The staff felt rushed. They weren't exactly rude, but it seemed like they really wanted us to eat quickly and get out of there, which I didn't love.

**Rating take out only**…read more Ordered take out for Father's Day. I got the Sultana Combo, lentil soup, and a chicken wrap. The Sultana Combo looks like not a lot of food, but is actually a lot of food! 3 adults ate this, had their fill, but still had some leftovers for the next day. My favorite part was the rice, other people's favorite parts were the veggies or the soup (we don't usually eat a lot of protein, but the protein was also good!). It's not an elevated, elegant dish, especially not to-go-ed, but it's hearty, homey, and filling. There wasn't a part we didn't like or didn't think was worth the money. They have ample indoor and some outdoor patio seating; on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, seems lime many people opted for the outdoor seating. While waiting for my pick up order, there was one party in front of me that waited for (apparently) an excessive amount of time because the kitchen was backed up. The workers were extremely kind, and even gave them baklava as an apology! Small things like that show that the store cares more for the community than just getting orders out. My only gripe is that I felt like everything was extremely salty--the three of us were chugging water all night after our meal. I think the salt levels work well if there was plain rice or plain veggies, but when everything is salted so each part of the dish can be eaten alone, you end up feeling parched and bloated at the same time... not a good feeling. Regardless, recommend!!

There are some people who say the Palo Alto location tastes the best; I would say it's about the same as Redwood City. I wouldn't necessarily drive all the way to a Zareen's location if you already have a local Indian/Pakistani closer to you that you love. Aka I don't think Zareen's is leagues above other good Indian/Pakistani places. I would skip the mango lassi; it's on the more watery side and not as tart as I would like it. Service is quick. Ambiance is casual and a little bit of self-service to get sauce bottles.

I came by on a Sunday for some "me time" solo, with a book. I got a Giants Combo, hot on a sweet roll. The bread and all ingredients were incredibly fresh and delicious. I got an 805 lager and was just thinking about how delicious and fresh the beer was and how well it paired with the sandwich when I spilled it. I came in looking for a rag to clean it up with, and not only did someone come out from behind the counter with a chuckle to help clean it up, but Rolando poured me another one. It was a small, but meaningful move that he didn't have to do. It's just so nice to experience those small moments of hospitality. It put a smile on my face, and reinforced my love for this place.

This restaurant does not serve traditional Indian food as it is a fusion restaurant, which is…read moredescribed by the restaurant as "Cal-Indian". It is tucked along El Camino Real in Menlo Park near the border with Palo Alto. It has a nice dark ambiance and it was a full house when we went, which is a good sign given the high price. The interior was quite intimate. We ordered so much food, that I forgot the names of everything we ordered. All of the food was really good and had a strong flavor thanks to the curry sauces that accompanied them. Even without the curry, it had a very strong "wood-fired" taste. The food was presented pretty decently and came out promptly. All of the food are served family style. Desserts were excellent, and I had the frozen shrikhand, which was recommended by our server. The service of the other wait staff were decent. Though I did not drink that night, they also offered wine pairings for both main courses and desserts. They have a pretty extensive drink menu of wines, beers, and cocktails. I think it is worth the Michelin Guide and has a lot of potential.

Eylan is a Michelin Bib Gourmand and is related to Copra and Ettan. Parking was easy underneath the restaurant and was plentiful. The vibes of the restaurant was high end. Opted for the main dining room. It seemed like they also featured bar and perhaps outdoors seating too. Service throughout the meal was delightful. Started off with the green grape chaas along with the heirloom salad. Both were a light and refreshing way to start off the meal. The Eylan eye bread course was very fragrant with the black truffle. The bread was lighter and fluffier on previous visits. The Chicken Seekh Kebab was surprisingly tasty and fragrant. Portions were generous for a "small plate." The domestic wagyu ribeye was decent, although it came out more of a medium well. The lamb chops may have been the highlight of the meal. This also came out towards medium well. Evvia lamb chops are definitely much better. The black cod entree came out towards the drier side, which was a bummer. Ended off the meal with the Eylan celebration treat, a dark chocolate mousse dessert which was a tasty way to finish off the meal. ~$220/head after tax, gratuity, and 3% wellness surcharge for dinner.
