You can tell they really put so much work into the wall art as well as the installation of a decorative power line, to make it feel like you are dining outside on a nice, balmy day even if it's actually the middle of winter. The pani puri station is so fun and whimsical, the server prepares each bite for you while you pick which sauce you want to go with it. I felt like I was at a night market. We also ordered the pav bhaji which was hot, buttery and delicious. Tied together with an order of garlic naan and chicken tikka masala, our meal was sumptuous and so satisfying. This is our fourth time coming here and we will definitely be back with our friends and family.

The folks here quickly arranged a table for us. We were meeting to celebrate a birthday in the group. The staff helped stash the cake for us too. The live pani puri is the spotlight. This is something that takeout cant give full justice. They have a variety of pani flavors some of which my kids really liked. All our food was brought out in time and the staff was helpful throughout the dinner. Also, the ambience of this place brings out the 90's nostalgia which is a bonus.

Definitely a place one can go many times to.

They have a bright and airy space, although the fake plants at the entrance make you wonder if this really is an upscale place. They also have an outdoor patio where we saw a group dining with one of their furry friends. For appetizers, we ordered the Kerala chicken fry - well seasoned and crispy with a delicious dipping sauce. For the entrees, we got a potlam goat biryani - a delicious biryani wrapped in a banana leaf served table side. We also got the Fish Pollichathu, a fish grilled with a tomato based topping that was wrapped in a banana leaf and served with a tapioca mash and rice. All the dishes were delicious. The portions are generous and we ended up with leftovers to take back home. We also received a complimentary gulab jamun creme brulee since I was part of their mailing list and a pistachio tiramisu to celebrate our special occasion. A truly wonderful experience that made our evening special. We will look forward to returning to sample more of their offerings.

I made a reservation for 5 and we were seated immediately. They are a stroller friendly restaurant and were able to accommodate a newborns stroller. We ordered a lot of food. The portions are large and well worth it. - Karuvepilai Shrimp (6 pieces) - this was delicious, juicy and came with a nice chutney - Thattukada Chicken Fry - huge quantity and we loved sharing this - thali non veg came with lamb, special Chola biriyani, white rice, among other curries. This was a great way to try different some of the different dishes they offer, and is a huge serving. It had some veg sides that came with it and some of these dishes are unique and not available to order otherwise - chicken curry and 3 Malabar parottas - this was a curry leaf based curry that was pretty tasty. I'm not sure I would reorder this because I felt it lacked some salt and was very oily. - Chicken Biriyani - This is a huge serving and came with bone-in chicken as well as fried chicken, wrapped in a banana leaf. We ordered too much food but it was nice to have some leftover to take home! One thing to note was gratuity of 18% was automatically charged for us, but I wasn't aware that they do that for a party of 5.

I never got there, but my husband raved about it from business dinners. Our birthday honoree wanted to come here. One of us is vegetarian, another GF and very allergic to solanaceae, and two don't eat fish. Usually Pakistani & eastern Asian cuisine is a good choice. Three of us had masala chai, served in traditional glazed clay cups: I think cardamom was the top note. Ginger's the top note, followed by cardamom when I make it. It was blissful. I have been wanting to try pani puri for a while, but don't think the delicate shells would survive delivery. Mouthgasms ensued from everyone. Next time I'm in an Indian restaurant, I'm getting that, as it was as tasty as it looks. Samosas were ordered to share, and again, we were all happy. Because of the high simple carbs, I don't eat the usual one, but half of one was heavenly. Garlic naan & papad(ums) were ordered. They were the most flavorful papad I've ever tasted: don't know what the additional ingredient was, but I will certainly order that again. I asked our server, who might have been a manager, how many papadums were in an order. The answer was three, but he'd add a fourth. It took us a while to choose entrees, and when we made our order, he looked at each of us, confirmed what we ordered--with no note pad. I was impressed. I had the achari chicken kebab, absolutely wonderful spicing, with plenty of onion strips, nicely browned just short of caramelized. Our vegetarian ordered saag paneer, the honoree had her favorite butter chicken, and the fourth ordered seekh kebab. We usually get a taste of each other's dishes, except the vegetarian, because meat. We were very appreciative and enthusiastic of what we'd ordered. We couldn't have made our enjoyment more clear. For dessert, we ordered an intense Malai (mango) kulfi, gulab jamun (dough balls in a honey sauce), too sweet for me, but still pleasant, and rasmalai, a sweet dough in a milky sauce, spiced with saffron, rosewater, cardamom, and pistachios. We were treated to a plate of jalebi, which resembles funnel cakes, in a honey sauce. I've seen these at a Persian market, but don't know the name. For all we ordered, the bill was modest, about $114. We added an ample tip. This was the absolute best Indian food I've ever had! We had such a lovely time. One thing I wish restaurants would do is to put their full menu online, instead of just popular items for delivery or pick-up. It gives you more incentives to dine in!

I ordered Chole Kulcha, Chili Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Chap, Roomali Roti; Chole Kulcha- I don't have to eat Chole with it. Kulcha itself was very good, crispy and filled with masala. 5 star Chili Chicken- Quality of chicken matters the most. It was very good. 5 star Tandoori Chicken- Quality was great. Juicy, need to eat there only. 5 Star Chap- Need to eat right away. Don't let it wait otherwise it will loose its texture and taste. Taste when it is hot, good mixture of spices and chutneys with it. Onion enhances the flavor of it. 5 Star Roomali Roti- probably the best Roomali roti. Does not matter where they make it. They put butter on it. It does not get chewy or gets dry. 5 Star Sunny and Love they work hard to make it happen. Kudos to them. Noticed, while I was dining, two people came in and expected them to deliver right away and they left. Guys, give them a break, Truck opens at 4:00pm they have to set up the Tandoor it takes time atleast 45 min. To warm up. You can't expect to serve tandoori items right away.

I was on a road trip from Boise to San Diego and changed my schedule, spent extra money, and went out of my way specifically to pick up this order. The lack of communication, professionalism, and accountability was extremely frustrating. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone.
