Others have provided lots of positive comments on the excellent food. See some attached photos. I was, honestly, amazed at the service and the staff. We were way late for our dinner reservation but the manager, Aman(?!) was warm and welcoming. The bartender (name?) also doubled as a server. Very helpful with our cocktail orders. Extensive bar. After years, I was served my straight single malt in a chilled glass. Without having to ask! The server, William, is one of the best trained servers that I have come across. Ever. Thoughtful. Efficient. Attentive but not intrusive. (What's a guy like him doing in a place like this! ) The chef (name?) sent each dish out looking elegant. There were six of us, so we had three appetizers, four entrees and a dessert. Impressive plating! He visited us at the table to ensure everyone was happy. As you may know from my reviews, the experience is more important to me than the food. Given that this is a "mall restaurant!," I was blown away! My bride is an amazing Indian cook, and even she was pleased with the food. Above and beyond any expectations! read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday and left pretty disappointed, honestly. We'd booked the first lunch slot , basically the moment they opened and when we arrived, the place wasn't even ready. Staff were still walking in, cutlery was being laid out (loudly), and nobody seemed to know if they were actually open yet. I had to approach someone myself and ask. They looked genuinely unsure until I mentioned I had a reservation, at which point we were seated - though "reluctantly" is the right word. I get that openings can be a bit chaotic, but this is meant to be a fine dining restaurant charging fine dining prices. That expectation of polish and readiness should be table stakes, not an aspiration. As for the food - the champaran mutton was the one bright spot and genuinely good. Everything else ranged from forgettable to underwhelming. For what you're paying, that's not good enough. Wouldn't rush back. read more

We went to Khaki last night... honestly a bit disappointing. Even when we arrived there was a "Closed" sign on the door, which already felt weird since we had a reservation. Inside was basically empty, only like 3 tables. Service was pretty messy and kind of inattentive overall--didn't feel very welcoming. Biggest issue: a few dishes were pretty spicy but no one said anything. We had a baby with us, so that part was honestly not great. Food-wise, I won't go into details, but portions were really small... mostly sauce, not much actual food. Overall just not a place we'd go back to. read more

The food and the ambiance were amazing. I mean the butter chicken was breathtaking but our server wasn't attentive and kind of ruined the experience. read more

I just reviewed this restaurant days ago.. but it was so good I HAD to return and try more things on the menu. My new "must order" is the tandoori mushroom. It's such a unique cheesy mushroom dish that was so rich and large in portion but I could not get enough of it. Thank you to our server who recommended this- I probably wouldn't have tried it otherwise. During this visit, I brought a new friend who mentioned he loved the interior design as much as the food! I'm definitely bringing more friends soon! read more

Khaki offers a refined take on Indian cuisine with a diverse menu of creative dishes from all over the subcontinent. Given the range of the menu, this is a restaurant worth multiple visits! We were started with a complimentary appetizer of cocktail samosas, crunchy turnovers with a filling of spiced peas and potatoes, topped with a drizzle of tamarind chutney. For our mains, the Achari Gobi Musallam was a head of charred cauliflower marinated with achari (Indian pickle) spices and served over a tomato-based sauce; and the Champaran Handi Mutton was a delicious stew of tender, meaty chunks of baby goat and whole garlic cloves in an intensely-spiced onion gravy, which had been slow-cooked in a clay handi. The Meen Pollichathu was a whole, bone-in branzino stuffed with masala and cooked in a banana leaf, served with coconut rice and a coconut-kokum-tomato relish on the side. While the South Indian flavors were delicious, the fish itself was small and boney and not worth the price. But my favorite dish of all was the Paneer Pinwheel, made of a sheet of paneer rolled with spiced dried fruits and nuts. The pinwheel was cooked in a tandoor (giving it a caramelized exterior), sliced, and served over a delectable, creamy tomato gravy (similar to butter chicken sauce). The nutty, caramelized paneer pinwheel and tomato sauce went perfectly with the flatbreads we ordered, including Tandoori Roti and a flaky, layered Laccha Paratha. Overall, the food here was delicious and beautifully-presented, and the friendly service was attentive and on-point! read more

Loved the ambiance and convenient location inside the mall. Its huge and gorgeous. You can use the escalators near William Sonoma or the steps up if you want to be healthy! As i opened the wide doors, i was greeted by friendly staff and my nerves relaxed instantly :) The seating is comfortable, clean and multiple restrooms segregated in a corner and great food!! I loved the little details that our server took care of - water, welcome snack (3 samosas complimentary - super generous) and small cups katoris for dal :) In $62, we got: - Rajasthani dal - 5/5 - huge bowl of piping hot dal which is a mix of 5 lentils and so amazing - bullet cheese naan - 5/5 - my favorite bread here with green chili - butter naan - 4/5 - for the kid. Good thing it was not dripping with butter but was soft - chicken noorani kebab - 5/5 - steamed chicken topped up with flavorful chutneys - chai - 3/5 - beautiful cup and saucer and decent masala chai We were so full that we didn't have room for dessert, but will definitely visit again! read more

Flavor is decent but the portion sizes are eplicly very very very very very small and prices are very high, there were also two paper thin pieces of nann as well that came with this (which you also have to pay for) but 70 dollars for this is down right disrespectful, currently face palming while ordering food from some where else. read more

We were at the Khaki to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was a great evening and we enjoyed the food here. Everything we tried was delicious, even the chutnies with Papad platter were good. Jackfruit cutlets, Paneer Pineheels were my most favorite from the evening. Gobhi Musallam was good too. I tried saffron lemon drop and it was okay. I couldn't get any saffron other than the color. Server explained that it's saffron infused vodka but it didn't come through. Overall drinks were okay, not as good as the food for sure. Definitely a place I will come back for sure though. read more

Had such a great experience at Khaki in San Ramon. The first thing that stood out was the ambiance -- warm lighting, stylish interiors, and a very inviting vibe that instantly feels a bit special without being over the top. It's a perfect place for a relaxed date night, a girls' night out, or even a celebratory dinner. The food was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. We really enjoyed the Sweet Potato & Patta Chaat, Samosa, Parsi Chicken Keema, Meen Polichathu, and the Zucchini Ricotta Kofta -- great balance of flavors and plenty of excellent vegetarian options. The cocktails were just as impressive, especially the Matcha Mule and Mango Mojito. We ended with the Gulab Jamun Crème Brûlée, which was a fun and delicious twist on a classic. read more

Bright modern ecclectic space with a few intimate benches and booths. Khaki hits different as an Indian joint with a noteably distinctive vibe. Seating is flexible to accommpdate larger groups as well. We were greeted with complimentary Amuse-Bouche Mini Samosas by the chef - nice welcome! The service was impeccable, highly attentive and thoughtful throughout our meal. Although not a white tablecloth venue our server elegantly scraped the crumbs and smudges off the table at the end of our main course - nice touch. We were pleasantly surprised by the bright flavors and the portions of each of our dishes: Malai Mushroom Chicken Noorani Kabob Parsi Chicken Keema Butter Chicjen Chili Cheese Naan The Butter Chicken in particular was a true standout with the wonderfully savory char flavors of the chicken in the abundantly portioned and decadent sauce. The handcrafted Gymkhana Gin & Tonics were very refreshing and not too sweet, an excellent accompaniment to the meal experience. (Side note to management: Perhaps best not to play with the lighting during the meal service. It was a little distracting, albeit brief). read more

Really enjoyed Khaki. The food was bold, rich, and well-executed, with the Lamb Shank Biriyani stealing the show. The Chicken Kheema Pav and Mutton Curry were also excellent, and the naan and butter chicken rounded out the meal perfectly. A little pricier than casual Indian spots, but worth it for the quality & elite service. read more

Chose this restaurant for the jazz concert in the center. Although we were seated near the stage, we could only hear the music. The food was delicious and the service was attentive. Our waiter made several suggestions, and all of them were a hit. The jackfruit appetizer was fried but did not taste oily. The lamb shank was a bit overcooked, but the flavors from the spices were great. The chicken was perfectly cooked. The sauce really made the dish. We will return. read more

Visited a 2nd time to give it another chance and the service was much better and food came out reasonably fast but I also came around 4 pm when very few guests were there. Unfortunately, this time I had a dish that caused me to have an upset stomach (without giving too much detail) and I did reach out to the team, but haven't heard a response yet. I'm disappointed at these experiences given this is a high-end restaurant. I expected a better experience from this brand. read more

Came here for lunch with the boo. We sat outside, since it was a beautiful day. The meal itself was stellar. The sweet potato chaat was very flavorful, and the acidity really whet my appetite. The zucchini and ricotta kofta was also a star dish. We basically licked the creamy sauce from the bowl. The butter chicken was delicious. My only gripe is that our dessert took 30 minutes to come out. We also had difficult flagging down someone since we were seated outside. read more

Khaki at the Yelp Town Royale event at STAK was a nice discovery. I tried the Gulab Jamun Crème Brûlée, and it was a delight. The team was welcoming, and it was great seeing the passion behind their food. Another local gem. read more

We went on a weekday night and service was slow, it seemed like kitchen was backed up for some reason. Spinach patta chaat was very soggy, jackfruit cutlets lacked any flavor and were oily, paneer pinwheel was good, kofta was again oily with extra sweet sauce. They gave complementary samosas which were good. Gulab jamun creme brûlée was alright, too thick toffee layer on top which was sticking to the teeth in a not so enjoyable way- creme brulees should have thin and crunchy toffee layer. Bread basket and papad basket were good. I think they are spending more time decorating food than cooking it. read more

Made a reservation in advance. The inside is pretty nice and there is bar seating as well. Some of the tables are right near the window and it can get a tiny bit warm if there is direct sun (although there are shades on the windows). Service was good and attentive. The menu we received in person had less items than the menu online on their website - not sure why. We started off with two starters: Sweet potato - nice fresh starter that had a nice crunch due to the fried spinach and kale. The sweet and sour taste meshed well. I wish there were more pieces of sweet potato as there were maybe 4-5 chunks at the bottom. Malai mushrooms - nice chew to the mushroom that made it seem like meat. Good umami and a good amount of sauce. Main courses: butter chicken - there was a good amount of chicken in this dish. They were all very soft as well. The chicken went well with the garlic naan, which is on the thinner side but are still crispy and slightly chewy. There was a good amount of garlic on it. Beef sukka - has a bit of a kick! I think this would pair better with rice instead of naan. The beef is really tender and spiced fairly well. We opted for the crème brûlée for dessert, which was very good. It didn't have an overly caramelized top, which I actually prefer. The inside contains gulab jamun, which I've never had before. It made the dish more spongy instead of overly creamy. All in all, a good restaurant that I wouldn't mind returning to and trying some of the other dishes. read more

Please make a reservation before coming here and note they open at 5pm, NOT 4pm! So, we visited Khaki today for an early dinner. The hours here on Yelp show opening at 4pm however when we got here at 4:15 pm we were told by the manager there that they actually open at 5pm. So we walked around in the shopping center and came back at 5pm when we were told by the same person that they need 5 more mins to open. We were fine with that and waited patiently outside. At 5:05pm he comes to us and says they're ready to open now and asked if we have a reservation. We didn't have a reservation but we were taken aback that he hadn't mentioned anything about making a reservation when he spoke to us 4:15pm or 5pm. Anyway, he said he may be able to give us a table but he would need to check and get back to us in a couple of minutes because they get completely booked out since it's their second day since opening. Thankfully he comes back saying he could seat us four. Phew! Our server was friendly, courteous and very attentive. Ambience was good. It was quiet, no one was around besides another couple. It remained slow for the next hour or so. Drinks menu looks unique and they have a full bar with bar seating. Food was presented well. Everything we tried here tasted good without being excellent so to say. We had a bunch of appetizers- Ragda pani puri, sweet potato patta chaat, jackfruit cutlets, Chicken Kheema that came with two dinner rolls, Tandoori Malai Mushrooms and the BBQ pork ribs. They had two desserts on their menu- Rasmalai Mango Tiramisu and Gulab Jamun Creme Brulee, both sounded unique. We decided to try the Gulab Jamun Creme Brulee which was delicious! Creamy vanilla custard with Gulab Jamun pieces topped with crunchy caramelized sugar. The kids in our party really enjoyed it. All in all, this place is on the price side. We may come back for the drinks and desserts. read more

So good!! I always walk by this place and see it's so busy so I was happy today we were able to try it. It's so clean inside and Will our host/server was very kind! Loved him so much he was so genuine and kind. So we ordered the salmon tikka starter that comes with this really yummy green sauce. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the herbs on it were really good but I wouldn't say exactly a tikka flavor like how u would expect but still really good. My favorite of course was the butter chicken, I was really sad to see they didn't have chicken tikka masala on the menu but it didn't matter the butter chicken had a little spice not spicy but flavored really well like I could drink the sauce on its own. It also had a good amount of chicken and sauce we didn't feel like we were lacking in anyway. It was so perfect with the garlic naan. I wish the garlic naan 1 order is just 1 naan cut in half, for the price I wish they would add more. I also got the mango lassi which was perfect of course and my friend ordered the passion fruit colada mocktail which the waiter said was soon to be on the menu but u can definitely still order it. The complementary samosa was also delicious. The food makes u want to do a little dancey dance so I might be back if I have the money to spend because it is pricey! I also love the inside aesthetic. read more

Great new classy Indian restaurant in the beautiful citi center lot, and we finally visited this yesterday evening with kids. The ambience and service was amazing and even though we had 30+ min wait (they prefer reservation) , it was really worth the wait. We had the non veg starter - pallipalayam chicken and this was very well cooked with nice spices and flavor to this. Also, had the champaran handi mutton and the meat was soft and succulent and best with the tandoori rotis - chill one was pretty good. Hope to visit again soon. read more

The food was excellent but the service needs to be improved. The manager was gracious and apologized but we waited more than 30 mins for 2 starters to arrive.

I would love to come back provided I hear others mention the service is prompt. read more

The menu is small, but the dinner and dining experience were fantastic. I ordered the prawn moilee with rice. The rice was super fragrant and the prawns were perfectly cooked. The coconut broth was creamy but felt surprisingly light to eat. Our waitress was super sweet and made sure to let us know about any possible dishes that might be best for the unique dietary needs in our party. The decor is fresh, clean and modern. Be careful when sliding in and out from the table though - the benches move easily and I was definitely not graceful when I tried to get up from the table. I would definitely return. read more

I was excited to try Khakhi mainly because the menu is designed by the chef of Tia Restaurant -- one of the best Indian restaurants in the U.S. and my personal favorite -- so expectations were high. The vibe was okay and has upscale potential, but there's room for improvement. We had a reservation but still waited to be seated, and water service was a bit slow. The complimentary mini cocktail samosas were a nice touch. Chicken tikka was decent but not the creamy malai-style we expected. The mushroom dish was good and reminded us of Tia's version (though Tia's is better). Drinks were a highlight -- guava punch and cherry cardamom soda were both excellent. Champaran mutton and dal makhani were overall decent, though the dal had a bit too much cream. Parathas were good but turned hard within 10 minutes. Overall, decent food, but with some refinement in service and execution, it could really elevate the experience. read more

Service: Helpful, prompt. Both the manager and the person serving us. We had booked the Prix Fixe. I am glad I listened to the person serving us and switched to a la carte Ambiance: Quiet, fusion-remix-indian music, not loud. Just enough to make you hum. There were kids but wasn't noisy. Well lit but not too bright. In short, perfect. Food: Everything hit the spot. The Malai Chicken tikka (melt in your mouth tender), crunchy Jackfruit cutlet, falling off the bone mutton, Khichdi with just the right amount of ghee and pickle and the cheese Naan.

We truly can't say enough good things about the dining experience at Khaki Indian Food at City Center Bishop Ranch. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out as some of the best we've experienced in a long time. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, every need anticipated, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout the evening. The atmosphere at Khaki is elegant and elevated without feeling stuffy. It's the kind of place that feels perfect for a special occasion, an anniversary, a celebration, or even a memorable date night when you want something that feels a little extra special. The drinks alone are worth the visit. Each cocktail was crafted with real intention, beautiful presentation, balanced flavors, and a clear sense of passion behind the bar. The food absolutely delivered. The vegetarian options were outstanding, with every appetizer and main course impressing us in its own way. Flavors were layered, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying. And the naan. Hands down, the best naan bread we've ever had. Soft, warm, perfectly cooked, and impossible to stop eating. If you're anywhere near San Ramon and looking for an exceptional dining experience, try Khaki right away. It's the kind of restaurant you leave already planning your return visit. read more

When we walked into Khaki, the ambience was great and the restaurant had a nice vibe. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill after we were seated. We were placed in an odd spot where I constantly had to adjust my chair so people could get by behind me, which made the meal uncomfortable. We ordered the Parsi Chicken Kheema, Handi Mutton, and garlic naan. The mutton was flavorful and easily the best part of the meal, but everything else was pretty subpar. Our server was very kind and professional, but he never checked on us after the food arrived, and it seemed like the restaurant was understaffed. Considering the portion sizes and the price we paid, the experience just didn't feel worth it overall. read more

This is our 4th time going there but unfortunately this time was not up to par. Food tasted bad and cold. Our chilli rotis were chewy and tough. Service was also not good. Although I don't think I want blame our server ( Jacob d) he was doing what any server would do but we didn't get enough spoons to eat with once asked and we just ended using what came with our dish. No biggie on that part I would say. But I didn't enjoy it at all this time around. Food came cold which I am not big fan at all. Don't think I will go back again anytime soon. We ordered biryani and rice used was small kichadi rice or once used for dosas making. Not sure if it's different recipe but that was also cold and not good at all. Hopefully they fix it or use rite type of rice. read more

Food was exceptional. We had cauliflower koliwada and chicken malai tikka for appetizer along with tequila drink and passion fruit drink. The chicken was excellent but Cauli was a good appetizer too. We ended our main course with mangalorean beef sukka. I'm a born mangalorean so little critical here, growing up we used lot of coconut flake for the sukka and this modernized version is more catered to Indian american version! It's just me being critical. We had butter Pao and naan, my advise is take the Pao. Later we had the tres leches for desert. It's good! Overall service was great .

We dined here for the Diwali Fix Prix Menu. Upon being seated we were brought our regular menus. I would assume they would inform the guests or place the special menu along with the regular menu. Luckily I had seen on social media that they had a special menu and requested that menu. We ordered our drinks and our food. Appetizers came out fairly quickly and we were impressed with the quality and taste of the chicken and shrimp. Now there were about 5 other tables that had been seated and food was ordered. The kitchen seemed to be overwhelmed along with the waiters. Food going to wrong tables and long wait. 80% of the restaurant was empty so I don't know how they would handle a full house. We waited for 1.5 hours for our main course to come out after the appetizers! At this point our baby lost his patience and we had to ask for the dinner to be packed up. During this time no chai was offered even though it was a part of the fix prixe menu. We asked for the dessert to be packed to go as well and the waiter handed us a menu and was confused when we asked if it was not included because the menu we ordered from states dessert was included. Food was decent but service needs improvement. Will come back to give it another shot and see if there is improvement. read more
