Came here for a celebration dinner and the atmosphere was perfect - lively but not too loud, good lighting, and spacious interior. 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. read more

A great spot for both special occasions and casual outings with friends and family. The dishes are rich in authentic flavors and beautifully plated, reflecting the kitchen's expertise and attention to detail. Whether you're vegetarian or not, the musa dal is a must-try--it truly captures the comforting, home-style flavors. For dessert, I highly recommend the jamun malai, which is both indulgent and satisfying. The drinks are worth the try as well. Overall, the restaurant offers attentive service in a modern setting. I would recommend making a reservation before heading there, It's an excellent choice for anyone looking for genuine North Indian cuisine in the Bay Area. read more

Khazana - Jamun makhan malai - Indian Near Me - Palo Alto, California

I would like to give them 5/5 for the service - there was a super friendly lady that made me feel at home / she was also the hostess and got us seated immediately. She gave us enough time and was not intrusive during our conversations. She laughed and smiled and made the place feel very warm and welcoming. The curry leaf martini sounded better than it tasted / it was too strong for my liking. The food was good but the prices felt on the higher side. The ambiance is excellent - the decor is fantastic. The written dishes are unique - I had a veg person dining with me. I hope to come back to try the non veg dishes. read more

This was a great dinner, and I would absolutely come back! The space is beautiful! The bar setup is especially nice and gives the whole place an elevated vibe that still feels comfortable. We ordered the Red Shrimp "Karwari," Mango Butter Chicken, Chicken Biryani, garlic naan, and two cocktails. The shrimp had an incredible kick!! Very spicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I personally loved the heat, but if you're spice-sensitive, just be warned it's not mild.. The standout of the night though was the biryani. Fragrant and delicious. The rice had great texture and flavor throughout, and it felt like the most cohesive and well-executed dish on the table. The butter chicken was just okay in comparison. It was creamy and pleasant, but it didn't have the same wow factor as the shrimp or biryani. Not bad.. just overshadowed by the stronger dishes. The cocktails were creative and well crafted. The Mango Mule was bright and refreshing, a perfect match for the spicy dishes! Service was fine but nothing particularly warm or memorable. My only real service note was that after finishing our shrimp starter, our dirty silverware wasn't cleared or replaced. We ended up keeping and reusing it for the rest of the meal, which felt like a small but noticeable miss, especially at this price point. The total came to $165 for two, so it's not inexpensive. That said, the quality of the food, especially the biryani and shrimp, makes it worth returning. read more

I grew up watching Khana Khazana by Chef Sanjeev Kapoor on TV (Sanjeev Kapoor was basically part of my culinary childhood), so I really wanted to love this place. And to be fair: the ambience is gorgeous, very "special occasion" energy, and it's right in the middle of downtown Palo Alto. Service was also super attentive. But...the food (at least the vegetarian dishes we tried) was not a home run. Smoked Ricotta "Galouti" -- I love the idea + the story behind galouti kababs, but this didn't hit the "melt-in-mouth / wow" note I was hoping for. Eggplant Bharta -- fine, but not memorable. Shaam Savera -- paneer-stuffed spinach dumplings in tomato sauce sounds magical; tasted more like "nice concept, okay execution." Lalla Mussa Dal -- this was probably the safest bet of the bunch: rich, slow-simmered, comforting... still not enough to carry the meal. Jackfruit Biryani -- again, fine, but I wanted more aroma + depth (and that sealed-dum drama). This place is a vibe. The food is not. If the name on the door weren't Sanjeev Kapoor, I'd call it an expensive, aesthetically pleasing meal that I wouldn't repeat. read more

Came here for a business dinner and had my first Indian food beyond chicken tikka marsala. Matthew was our server, and he went above and beyond for us. The food was very good, including the three natives of India who were with us and loved it. There were many dishes ordered to be shared, but the items I had were the lamb, garlic naan, panipuri, jackfruit and avocado taco, and paneer. I burned my mouth due to the spice on a beef taco after I explained I am extra white and can't handle spice and my colleagues told me it wasn't spicy at all. Well, they are Indian and to them it wasn't spicy but my mouth was burning so I was brought yogurt to cool it off. It was my birthday the next day so I was brought a raspberry cheesecake with a lit candle. We were surprised by a complimentary dessert that was shared with everyone. I don't know what it was called, but it had gold leaf and rose syrup on it with berries and was smooth like custard. It was delicious. Never asked what I wanted to drink and when I asked for milk when my mouth was burning up, told they didn't have any. Water kept being refilled though. read more

Hands down, the best North Indian Non-vegetarian food in the Bay area with great ambience! We've been here so many times and always come back for their mango butter chicken, chicken biryani, mutton biryani and chicken kebabs. First time with friends we tried their- 1. Edamame pani puri- Loved the flavors. Served uniquely. Crisp puris. Great purple pani. Loved it! Very savory and not sweet at all. 2. Prawns- Three medium sized prawns, nice charring from the tandoor but missed the mark on seasoning and butteryness. Felt dry. 3. Ricotta galaouti kebab- Ricotta is creamy, slightly tangy and has a fuller flavor like homemade paneer but mushier. These kebabs were exactly dahi ke kebab (hung curd/greek yougurt kebabs) with too much tang. 4. Salli chicken- The best! Moist, rich, creamy. Get this! For mains, we had: 1. Shyam savera- Gravy wasn't up to the standard. The cottage cheese dumplings were creamy but the gravy was just pureed tomatoes and tasted of nothing else. 2. Nalli Nihari- Soft, moist, fall off the bone meat but I've had the best at Yellow Chilli, Danville. The meat touching the bone was under seasoned here. 3. Truffle naan- Not stuffed with truffles or anything. Truffle oil was just brushed over the tiny naans. 4. Garlic naan, Laccha parantha- They were good. The chicken biryani was amazing. Probably the best biryani in the bay area. For desserts my husband ordered the mishti doi. His bengali roots were excited to try this one but it turned out to be sweet greek yougurt so he sent it back and got the gulab jamun dessert instead. The rabri had a wierd tang so none of us had the rabri. The gulab jamun was awesome though. The person who took our order was cold on our first visit. The person delivering food to our table was nice. However, even an okay-ish kinda service is acceptable if the food is the best bang for your buck and outright delicious. However, having visited multiple times, I can say that their service has improved. Their flavors are so on point for the non vegetarian appetizers! Seasonings and what you write on the menu and what comes on the plate is SO important and they deliver! The portions are okay though. Mango butter chicken is the best dish on their menu. Pair it with naan or chicken/mutton biryani. Gulab jamun is a must try! Not your ordinary gulab jamun! It has gulkand in the bottom. Can't wait to visit! Love it here! read more

Sanjeev Kapoor is a renowned Indian chef with his own TV program, and his restaurant Khazana in downtown Palo Alto features creative, refined takes on Indian dishes in an elegant setting. Coming in a big group, we got to sit in a private room in the back of the restaurant, and the service was quick and hospitable. To start, the Bedgi Chilli Chicken were four pieces of boneless dark meat chicken tikka in a marinade of spicy bedgi chili and yogurt, cooked to juicy perfection in a tandoor and served with mint chutney and cabbage salad, which balanced out the spicy flavor of the chicken. For our mains, the Mango Butter Chicken was a unique take on the classic North Indian curry, made of chicken tikka in a creamy tomato curry mixed with Alphonso mango. There wasn't a ton of mango flavor in this dish, but the mango seemed to have balanced out the typically rich butter sauce. One super unique dish was the Malabari Prawn Sourdough, a spicy Keralan coconut milk curry with prawns, served in a hollowed out sourdough bread bowl. The curry was full of dried chilies, mustard seeds, and curry leaves and had lots of heat, and the soft, chewy bread soaked up the sauce nicely! Finally, we had two selections from Khazana's Signature Selection. The Lalla Musa Dal was a thick, creamy stew of green/black lentils cooked with cream and butter; and the Shaam Savera was three spinach and cottage cheese dumplings served in a creamy cashew and tomato gravy. All the curries went nicely with the Bread Basket, which came with freshly-made naan, lachha paratha, and garlic cheese kulcha. My favorite breads were the layered lachha paratha for dipping into the curries; as well as the garlic cheese kulcha, which had a delightfully chewy, cheesy filling. We also tried the Khamiri Truffle Naan, which was brushed with truffle oil but didn't have a ton of truffle flavor. Overall, the food here was delicious and beautifully presented, and the dishes showcased authentic Indian flavors but presented in creative ways. My favorite items included the tomato cashew Shaam Savera curry, the spicy Malabari Prawn coconut curry in a sourdough bread bowl, and the chewy Garlic Cheese Kulcha, but everything was on point! The only downside is that the menu prices are quite high, but that's certainly not surprising for a fine dining restaurant in Palo Alto. read more

Came here for the first time and we were celebrating my parents anniversary.. we had a reservation so we got seated right away. We have a baby but we're not allowed to take the stroller to the table so we ended up putting it in the reception area. The restaurant is a big space ... and it was solid packed on a weekday. The ambience is very beautiful. Our server took very long to come to us to get our initial orders which was hard with kids. Eventually they came and we placed our orders. When our glasses were empty, they were not filled til the very end of our meal - service overall wasn't great at all. We ordered a few different things 3-4 appetizers and few mains. The appetizers were really good but the mains were seriously underwhelming. The mains were 80% sauce as you can see from the pictures. Anyway.. we also ordered some desserts at the end and honestly that was the best part of the meal.. the jamun with rabri was delicious along with the motichoor cheesecake was a nice twist on traditional desserts. Overall the food was ok but not too happy with the service at all. read more

Drinks were really good - bold Indian flavors but well balanced. Their menu is not your traditional Indian menu so if you are looking for classic indian eats then you'll be disappointed. Interior was chic and elegant - overall nice ambiance. Service was good and attentive. Highlights were - Chana Jor Crumpet (crispy; went well with the tangy sauce), Ancho Chilli Paneer Tikka, and Stuffed Dum Aloo Nazakat (creamy and delicate). The portion size for large plates was actually not enough for 2 people. Overall a good experience. read more

My parents and I visited Khazana when we were visiting West Coast for dinner and it was an amazing culinary experience. We made the reservation before hand which helped us to secure a table upon arrival. We ordered a mushroom appetizer which was absolutely delicious, for some reason I cannot find the dish on the web version of the menu, and cannot recollect the name, but pls do try it if you love mushrooms, you will not be disappointed. For main course, we ordered Saffron Paneer Cascade along with garlic naan and tandoori roti and it was probably the best dish that we tried at Khazana! The paneer would literally melt in your mouth and each bite had rich flavor of saffron! Do try this place if you are in the Palo Alto neighborhood. The ambiance is also very classy, modern and perfect for good family time! read more

My partner and I met a couple of friends here for a weekday dinner. The restaurant was pretty busy considering it was a weekday. Khazana, a sister restaurant to the Yellow Chili in Santa Clara, showcases the culinary expertise of Chef Sanjeev Kapoor. I found my experience at Khazana to be quite positive, particularly due to the outstanding service, which surpassed that of its sister establishment. The dishes we ordered were not only delicious but also beautifully presented. It's great to note that many of us took home leftovers, testament to the generous portion sizes. Additionally, the cocktails and mocktails were excellently crafted--definitely worth trying! I highly recommend visiting Khazana for a delightful dining experience. Recommendations: * Beet Root Croquettes * Trio Bread Basket * Baked Cauliflower Musallam * 'Malabari ' Prawn in Sourdough Bowl * Burrata, Truffled 'Saag,' Magaz Crisps read more

My husband and I returned to this restaurant to celebrate our 2-year wedding anniversary--and it couldn't have been more perfect. This place holds a very special meaning for us, because years ago it was the restaurant where we had our very first date and shared our first dinner together. The space has changed since then and the name is different now, but the feeling of warmth and connection hasn't changed at all. Even though we don't often dine on Indian cuisine, every dish surprised us in the best way. The flavors were rich, layered, and authentic--each bite reminded us why good food feels like a form of love. From the spices to the presentation, everything felt thoughtfully prepared and beautifully balanced. Our server, Sumit (or close to that spelling!), made the experience even better. He was kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being intrusive. His recommendations were spot-on, and you could tell he really cared about making the evening memorable. If you're looking for delicious food, heartfelt service, or a place to celebrate something meaningful--this restaurant is a wonderful choice. We left full, happy, and reminded of how special it is to return to where love first began. read more

I got there around 5:30, no reservations and the restaurant only had a few patrons, so we got seated right away. It took a few minutes for someone to come out and greet us once we got seated. Strangely, we weren't sure who our server was all night. We placed our drink, appetizer and mains order with the first person who came by. Our appetizer, Chicken Varki came out. It was nice presented and included four large pieces of very tender chicken breast. Nicely seasoned and came with a green chutney. The fried potatoes were a nice touch and are positioned as a big part of the dish but it was more for show. I would recommend this starter; it was flling. We didn't get our mains until about 20 mins later. The restaurant was starting to get full but wasn't super full. I can appreciate that they were making our food real time but it was a little odd that no one checked on us for that long period. For our mains, we ordered the Burrata Truffled Saag. It was delicious; the burrata is a nice touch. The spinach was pretty fresh. It had a different texture- not creamy but finely chopped. This was a good portion size, enough to feed 3. The final dish was the Malabari Shrimp in a sourdough bread bowl. I appreciated the creativity- never have I had an Indian dish in a sourdough bowl, but the dish didn't hit the mark. The bread bowl was soggy and just wasn't a good vehicle for the food. The dish was also not as expected; I was hoping for more of a smooth gravy with coconut milk goodness but it was in a sauce that resembled blended lentils- it was textured and not smooth and maybe had a little too much going on with saffron, coconut milk and a tadka. The shrimps were nice and juicy but I wouldn't order this again. We had to order rice to eat with the dish. Service as not bad, could use a little improvement - maybe more periodic check-ins. The restaurant has a small bar- 6 seats and a very nice open setting. I'd probably give it 3.5 stars. read more

Tried Khazana by Sanjeev Kapoor in Palo Alto and honestly, it exceeded my expectations. At most upscale Indian spots, the food often takes a back seat to the ambiance--but here, both delivered. We started with a few appetizers. The Galouti Kebab (vegetarian) stood out--incredibly flavorful, a bit gooey in bite as it should be . Still, making a vegetarian version of a traditionally meat-based dish is no easy feat, and this was impressive. The Taco appetizer, on the other hand, was forgettable--bland and skippable. Quantity for both the appetizer was less. The main course curries were the real stars--rich, flavorful, and served in generous portions. Definitely not your typical "fine-dining" small plates. The bread basket was fresh and nicely done too. The space itself is huge and beautifully designed, with both an elegant indoor setting and outdoor seating available--perfect for groups or a nice dinner out. A solid new entrant in the fine Indian dining scene in the Bay Area--definitely worth a visit. read more

Sanjeev Kapoor is a famous TV chef in India. His first show was called Khana Khazana (food treasure) hence the name of the restaurant. This restaurant does not disappoint. Somewhat smaller and atypical menu but each dish is very good. We had pani puri, beet root croquettes, smoked ricotta galouti for appetizers. Very good. For the main course, I loved Laal maas keema bati - very yummy. Service is very good (thanks Saurabh)! Location and ambience are top notch.

On our second try, we finally made it to this place. The first time, we walked in only to be told there was no availability, so we made a reservation for our next visit. The decor and ambiance exuded subtle elegance and understated charm. We were promptly greeted and seated by the gracious hostess. Our drinks were a mixed bag: their take on the Negroni was passable, while the other drink--something with curry leaf, though the exact name escapes me--was nothing to write home about either. Our first course featured the jackfruit avocado taco, which turned out to be a pleasant start. For the main event, we went with the Shyam Sevara and the Tellicherry pepper chicken, accompanied by garlic naans and cheese kulchas. Unfortunately, none of these dishes left a lasting impression. Given that this restaurant is helmed by the renowned TV chef Sanjiv Kapoor, we expected a lot more flavor. Coupled with the fact that it's a bit on the pricey side, I'm not sure I'll be returning. read more

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a mediocre experience. Made a reservation online and our table was ready upon arrival. Khazana is located on University Ave and took over the former restaurant, Joya. The restaurant features a lounge area, a full bar, along with a dining room. Dining is available indoors or in the parklet. Parking is available on the street or in city-owned garages. Our server did a phenomenal job of suggesting items as well as upselling both dishes and beverages. Started off with the panipuri which was supposed to be some fusion dish to the traditional dish. I loved the contrast in textures and flavors for this small plate. The paneer tikka felt bland despite being marinated in spices. The shrimp small plate consisted of 3 mega gigantic shrimps which were definitely cooked to well done... Flavors were decent and this came with a couple dipping sauces and some type of slaw. For the main course, opted for the lamb shank which came over a bed of thick curry. The lamb shank was served well done and towards the drier end of the scale. The curry did help. As other diners had noted, many of the dishes came out lukewarm. This was especially notable with the naan... Ordered one of each of the desserts and they were unique although I think Ettan across the street has much more unique desserts and entrees. ~$100/head after tax and gratuity for dinner. read more

So I have a handful of old coworkers who apparently grew up watching the chefs TV shows in India. So we decided to check it out as they had just recently opened. I remember the space being Joya for quite a while and I guess the Pandemic did it in? The space still looks similar but Spanish fare has given way to a high end creative/progressive Indian one. My friend called a whole bunch of dishes, goat curry, chicken curry, paneer, biriyani, Rogan Josh, scallops, and sea bass. All very tasty stuff. The curries seemed familiar to their traditional counterparts but the scallop and sea bass were fairly new flavors with an Indian accent. Service is friendly and they're still getting adjusted due to the recent opening. It's about time downtown Palo Alto got another Indian place after Darbar /Rooh/Ettan seemed to be last men standing for quite a while . Looking forward to trying more items in another go as the menu is decently extensive 4.3 stars read more

We went to this fusion Indian restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Really enjoyed the drinks and food. The appetizer hit the spot and the shaam savera curry was rich and flavorful. The presentation was also nice, and the service was polite, though a bit on the slower side. I did feel the dinner was on the pricey side. Another disappointment was that, despite mentioning the birthday celebration in my reservation, no dessert was brought out. Generally, restaurants like this make the effort with a small complimentary treat, which adds to the experience. Overall, the food was good, but the little details that make a celebration special were missing read more

The service was top notch. The staff paid attention to us without being intrusive. We ordered vegetarian food and everything was just very delicious. We ordered Chana Jor Garam and Ricotta gulati kebabs for starters and they were both awesome. For the main course, we had sham savera kofta (actually invented by Chef Sanjeev Kapoor) and baked cauliflower mussalam with garlic naan and lacha paratha. Dessert was carrot pudding tart.

Heard that Sanjeev Kapoor started this restaurant for some time and have been meaning to try it. Recently came for a large group dinner and truly had a wonderful time. Tried out a few dishes and my ultimate favorites were the Tellicherry Pepper Chicken, Saffron Paneer, Garlic Cheese Kulcha, and Jamun Makhai Malai. Thought the Mango Butter Chicken was good but liked the Tellicherry Pepper Chicken more. In terms of dessert definitely you can not go wrong with the Jamun Makhan Malai. It felt like a warm hug and truly was the perfect end to the meal. We also got the Moti chor Cheesecake but I was not a fan of it (may be an accustomed taste since I was excited about the cheesecake but not as much for the moti chor aspect). The staff was very kind and went above and beyond to make our group dinner a wonderful experience. They gave us a large private table placed in a room that had a curtain which allowed for more privacy. They also provided us free mini non-alcoholic coconut and mango drinks and took a nice well-lit photo for us in front of the Khazana sign on our way out. read more

I've wanted to eat here ever since they opened and finally had the chance for a quick bite and drink and the food, drink and service was wonderful! I had Varki' Chicken with Salli from the "small plates" selection. The chicken was tender and moist - the menu says creamy but it's more from a marinade perspective. The silver leaves are indeed edible :) comes with a little salad and salli potato sticks. They also made me a "test" cocktail with mezcal and Jaan Paan Indian liqueur topped with a smoked kumquat - wild! I'd like to make a comment about the cuisine and menu in general: This is not standard Indian cuisine- it's called modern Indian cuisine but there's more to it. There are some spicy dishes but it's not all about that but about creative yummy dishes served by the nicest and most knowledgeable staff in their beautiful spacious dining room. Come by, have a drink and a small plate at the bar and you'll plan your next visit right then! read more
