Robert BrewerMay 12, 2017If you want a table for lunch, come early (like 11:40) as they fill up quickly. Also check in with the helpful guy bussing tables, he will hook you up when a party leaves!
Oh SusanOctober 14, 2018Everything is so good, from the free, slow steeped, home recipe chai tea, to the buttery chicken tikka marsala, and lamb curry. And the breads- the fluffy crip puri, and garlic nan are craveable.
- NanaJanuary 19, 2018Love Zareens! The food is delish! Palo Alto location gets super crowded so be prepared for wait. Their lamb, naan, boti kabobs and chicken burger are delish
Can’t go wrong with anything over here. But if you don’t wanna look at the menu then order Chicken Boti Meal or on weekends try out Masala Omelette with shaami kebab!
Lizzy KAugust 11, 2018The Halwa Puri (a traditional breakfast dish) is only available on the weekends.
Niharika KohliNovember 7, 2018Casual, no fuss restaurant. Food was cheap and good. Didn't love the samosas but the chicken and naan were good. Extra love for the awesome free tea and onions for sides on offer. ❤️
Elizabeth BursteinAugust 28, 2021So delicious! Came here w mom after my Stanford spine appointment. My mom had the madras chicken curry with garlic naan. I had the CTM. Fries. We shared. Enjoyed mango lassi and cardamom pudding.- Nathan JJuly 22, 2020Some of the best chicken and paneer tikka masala in the Bay Area. They grill the chicken perfectly. Juicy, tender, and with the right amount of flavor and spice. Delightful.
- Jeannie ReevesApril 8, 2020We had a wonderful experience here in this restaurant. The server named Loyce was certainly made our stay memorable and great. All of their foods are so tasty and at a very affordable price.
Jadene BirdApril 22, 2020The warm welcome, fast, efficient service, beautifully presented, and tasty food meant we had a superb evening. I would have no hesitation in recommending your restaurant, and we will come back soon!
Mohammed HisamuddinDecember 8, 2017The best Indian food around Palo Alto. Boti kabab, chicken Tikka masala and lamb Ghosh among the best.- Ivy LivelyAugust 2, 2019Halwa puri and jalapeño cheese naan was amazing! Omelette was good! I’d avoid the vegetarian thali, it wasn’t very flavourful. Mango lassi 👌
- Marilyn AguilarApril 2, 2020The service was really wonderful as always. The place was really pretty inside, all white and glimmering. You would be happy with their service for they are all accommodating!
P-Edward LiebNovember 28, 2018Food is delicious definitely worth the queue ! There’s outdoors seating available and they do great lassi
AmateurConciergeAugust 16, 2023This rating is wild high. Average Indian imo. I found the chicken to be low quality / overly chewie which I’m not used to with Indian kebabs
Tobias SchmidtApril 20, 2018It's perfectly alright Indian food but I have no idea why the place is _so_ highly rated.

"Loved their mocha with freshly ground cacao beans from Ecuador with quality simple syrup (or maple syrup). My 7-yr-old enjoyed her handmade chocolate milk (organic cow's milk with a dash of Nutella)."

"Great ice cream and a neat story on how the business came into existence. I had the salted caramel ribbon."
