The butter chicken was rich, creamy, and full of flavor with tender pieces of chicken. Perfect balance of spice and sweetness.

Definitely coming back to try more dishes.

Ambiance though was weird b/c the lights were off! the only lights "on" came from the lamps above the food. Maybe they don't want to spend on lighting? But it was weirdly dark inside.

The interior is gorgeous and would be a great place for a date or celebratory dinner. Their food though is next level, it really is well above the typical indian food around. The saag with paneer is so much smoother and richer, and the chicken tikka salad is really healthy and not greasy, while having a ton of flavor. But what gets me every time is the papadum. Here they serve it with a tomato-onion salsa which is delicious and light. Love takeout from here!

Doordashed the food…read more Honestly the rice, butter chicken, chutney, and mango lassi were delicious and perfectly seasoned. Butter Chicken had a really good depth of flavor albeit there should have been more chicken with gravy/curry imo. The reason this isn't a 4 or 5 star was unfortunately the Lamb Chops. Flavor was good. However there were issues: - Baby Lamb Chops as opposed to the Bigger Lamb Chops shown in the image on DoorDash. - It was dry and not juicy - it was cold, lukewarm. Weird since the location wasn't that far from my place (Short drive - should've been hot or atleast warm) - Low Quality Lamb: Could tell it was New Zealand lamb that is typically lean, gamey, and low quality. I would recommend buying American/Domestic lamb as it's meatier, juicier, and tastier imo. It would help justify your cost in the menu imo.

Really appreciated the depth of flavor of these dishes in order: 1. Chicken Chettianu (sorry spelling is definitely wrong)- the curry is creamy with depth of flavor of curry leaves and cloves and multiple spices make me want to imagine what is inside 8/5 2. V chicken biryani - flavorful, great sauce, great flavor 7/5 3. Chocolate dosa - great option for a kid! Crispy dosa and chocolate sauce, not at all spicy. 5/5 4. Puri kids - puri (large) with a mildly spicy Chana. Unfortunately, too spicy for our 3 year old, but pretty great taste. 5. Palak paneer- a little bit of an iron taste, needed more cream maybe? The paneer was nice, but a little spicy.

We came here on a Sunday at 5PM with a party of 4 to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday. We were…read morethe only party there when we arrived, and there were only about 3 tables total by the time we left, so it definitely felt empty for a weekend evening. First, the interior is beautiful. Whoever redid the old Coco Cabana space did an incredible job- every detail took my breath away. Dublin doesn't have many restaurants this upscale/chic, so it was a nice change of pace. The menu pulls from all different regions of India and plates everything in a really modern, elevated way. Our favorites were the pappad, chicken saoji, butter chicken, garlic naan, and payasam. What we ordered: - Papdi chaat (tableside, $42): So fun and unique to watch them make it tableside, and it tasted good, but $42 for a bowl of chaat felt steep. Realistically I'd pay $27-28 for this. The frozen yogurt in dry ice was a cool visual but honestly it would've tasted better as regular yogurt. - 3 types of chicken tikka masala ($22): Everyone else liked it but I thought the chicken was nothing special. Portion-wise, best for 2 people. It was awkward to cut each of the 3 flavors of chicken thigh into portions. - Pappad and chutney ($14): I LOVE papad with tamarind chutney and their basket had a nice variety of papad. Definitely recommend this one. - Laal Maas ($38): Didn't try it myself but heard it was extremely spicy and the goat was overly fatty. Wouldn't recommend based on the feedback from the table. - Chicken saoji ($34): Chicken and egg in a thick coconut sauce- a crowd pleaser, great if you love coconut curry. - Butter chicken ($32): I liked this a lot. Paired with their garlic naan (some of the best garlic naan I've ever had), it is crazy together. - Payasam ($15): My father-in-law's favorite item of the night similar to kheer seviyan with crispy fried vermicelli mixed into rice pudding. So, so good. We've been to upscale Indian restaurants in the Bay that have disappointed with beautiful interiors and lackluster food. Overall this was some of the best upscale Indian food we've had in the Bay, and the interior is genuinely gorgeous...but let's talk about the elephant in the room: this restaurant is in a Safeway shopping complex in suburban Dublin, nearby a Dave's Hot Chicken. It's a strange juxtaposition for a spot charging these prices. We spent $400 for 4 people, and while every dish was well-executed, the setting made it hard to justify fine-dining-level pricing. We also dined in a mostly empty restaurant on a weekend evening with club/house music playing throughout, which added to the disconnect between the price point and the actual experience. 5 stars for food and interior, but knocking off a star because the fine dining price tag doesn't match the suburban plaza setting.

You can go to Pippal for its ambience and good service, but you will need to order more than you usually do or you will go home hungry!

For the mains, we got dal makhani, shahi paneer, and a bread basket of naans. We also tried the Amritsari kulcha with chole. I liked the dal and shahi paneer.
