    Green Curry leaf Dosa

    Really fresh food. Biriyani was one of the best I've had in the Bay Area! Very flavorful!!! Dosa was crispy, hot and the green curry leaf paste was very unique! Look out for their Happy Hour specials!!!

    Breakfast Buffet.

    Loved their breakfast buffet. They serve both veg and nonveg buffet. Very nice and patient Team. Taste and quantities were perfect. Everything was Just awesome!!

    We Had thali portions were so small. May be they should reduce the varieties in thali and increase the portion size.

    Great food and even better customer service!…read more My family has ordered from here many times, and we've even used them for catering at a party. The food is always delicious, fresh, and consistently good. What really stands out is the customer service. The manager is incredibly attentive, caring, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure customers have a great experience. Thank you for the amazing food and excellent service every single time. It's always a pleasure supporting a business that genuinely cares about its customers!

Until tonight that is , when I went to dine in with a couple friends. If you walk into a place on a Wednesday night, and all the tables are taken, that's a sign. You walk in and it smells incredible, that's a sign. You see people laughing and chatting while partaking from varied dishes, then that's a sign! We ordered the Naga special chicken curry, the brinjal curry and the shrimp mango curry( that comes with rice), and roti and naan. Portions are ample , place is clean and service is satisfactory. Our sever Gopal took care of us in a timely and friendly fashion. The food itself, I mean , the flavors are all there. Each dish tastes unique and you get a sense you are eating out. No home style simple cooking here, the spices are intense and each dish has a bite. Isn't that why you go out to eat? Prices are really good, if you consider what other places charge for entrees. And everything comes out piping hot and fresh. So don't wait till the weekend to try it out, go today!

    Anantara was great! We came here to celebrate my grandma's birthday and it was a pleasant…read moreexperience. Service was good and the ambiance is nice, pretty decorations and vibe. It's just a little cold in there for some reason. We started with a watermelon spritz and the inji-puli lotus appetizer since we'd never tried anything like that, and it was very yummy and had such a nice crispy but soft texture. It was also a good portion for all four of us. We got the goat curry and the chettinad spice vegetables, and a few parathas to share. We were afraid it wouldn't be enough but the parathas are actually very filling, and also have a really great texture of both crispy and soft, and delicious flavor. The curries were good, could have used a bit more salt but good spice. The stars of the show were the desserts - this deserves its own section because omg I'm still thinking about the desserts!!! We got the gulab jamun brûlée - an amazingly well done take on creme brûlée with a perfect top, easy to crack and beautifully flavored. The filling was amazing and sweet and so so yummy. They also were kind enough to give us a complimentary chocolate cake which was absolutely amazing. I'm generally not too impressed by chocolate but the quality of this cake was phenomenal with perfect sweetness and richness. I need these two again !! Definitely recommend coming here for an occasion.

    Wow. I've never been to an Indian restaurant this posh before -- the moment I walked in I was like,…read more"woah." The space is absolutely beautiful, which explains why reservations are so hard to come by. I somehow snagged a last-minute outdoor reservation for four, but three more people joined us at the last minute. When we arrived, I asked a gentleman who looked like the manager if we could move indoors because it was cold. Even though they were very busy, he found us indoor seats in a perfect spot -- we definitely got lucky. We were a party of seven, half of us vegetarian. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, and everything was great, but the vegetable biryani stole the show for me. I don't come from India, so take this from a non-native -- it was hands down the best veggie biryani I've ever had. The flavors were incredible, and it came with raita and a chutney that paired perfectly. I kept thinking about it even after trying everything else. Other highlights: the gunpowder idli was mind-blowing, and the lotus root appetizer (my first time trying lotus root) was a delightful surprise -- great texture and flavor. The dosa was soft and exactly how I like it (I'm not into crispy dosa), and the paratha with the vegetable curry was delicious too. The meat dishes my friends ordered got rave reviews from them as well, but I was still daydreaming about that biryani. Service was excellent -- the staff were kind, patient, and especially attentive to the kids in our party. When the restaurant is busy there can be a wait for food, but trust me: every bite is worth the wait. Highly recommend Anantara if you want a beautiful dining experience with outstanding food.

It's casual, lively, and a good spot if you like your food with a side of live sports. A couple of solid beers are available on tap for those who want to pair the game with a drink. Service: Ordering is counter-style--you place your order, get a number, and your food is either brought to your table or you might have to pick it up yourself. It's simple and efficient, but not a full-service setup. Food: Urban Kitchen thrives on fusion. The menu revolves around three base curries, and from there, it's a choose-your-own-adventure: * Wrap the protein and curry in a tortilla with cheese and Indian spices for a quesadilla * Swap for small tortillas to make tacos * Add saffron basmati rice and roll it up for a burrito * Put it on bread with cheese for an Indian-fusion pizza * Or sandwich it in a bun for a burger There's even a Chinese-inspired section built on similar fusion principles. The real gem here is the soya chaap--whether you go for malai or spicy curry, it's some of the best around, especially with rumali roti. Overall: This is my go-to spot for a once-a-month DoorDash treat. Expect creativity, hearty flavors, and a menu that blends India, Mexico, and beyond into something uniquely satisfying.
