    Beautiful decor
    Daman T.

    This was a lovely find! I was in MP for an appointment and decided to grab lunch while there. It's in a strip mall looking complex and it didn't get my hopes up walking up to the location. However the indoors is a different story-- very elegant and beautifully decorated. The chairs were so comfy! Now the real deal, food: Ordered chilli chicken, gongura masala dosa, and chettinad chicken dosa-- I enjoyed everything but my favorite was gongura dosa. It did not even need any masala, so good as is. Chutneys and sambhar were good too but nothing special. Filter coffee was good. There's a lot more on the menu that I'd love to try- next time!

    Mango Lassi
    Sitara P.

    I was a bit frustrated because there was a table of people close to where I was sitting who were obnoxiously loud. Also, I ordered a mango lassi and when it came out it wasn't even full in the cup. If you aren't going to fill the plastic cup up completely you might as well switch to a smaller cup... I told a waiter that it wasn't full and a woman who seemed like a manager came back to tell me that there was nothing wrong with it and that was the size. I know how the restaurant industry works and I think it's frustrating when people try to argue against a customer just so they can be "right". Moving past the less-than-ideal customer service, the mango lassi itself is decent, it has a distinct taste of cardamom. I ordered a goat dosa. The dosa was good but too spicy for my liking (I have a high spice tolerance). The gajar halwa was my favorite part of the meal. It had some dried rose petals and cashews on top. Very good. Overall food seems authentic but the customer service has room for improvement.

    I wish I could give this place 10 stars. I also wish it was down the street from me instead of a 35 min drive. The dosa was incredible! I really liked the ginger chutney, I think it may have had carrot in it as well. The idli was quite bouncy and excellent as a sauce vehicle. The lentil soup went really well with it as did the ginger chutney. Also incredible was the butter chicken which was so tender and so savory and delicious. I regret not getting a second order to go for when the cravings hit. The saag paneer was great but not as mouth watering as the butter chicken. The place itself is in a strip mall with parking in front but the turnoff from the road is easy to miss. There's steeet parking nearby too. You order via QR code and the food comes out quite quickly. We came on a Saturday at lunch and it was not busy but they had many takeout orders. A mix of modern and artistic inside. Would be a good spot for a date, family dinner or friends get together, as long as you come hungry.

    Unassuming no-frills restaurant with amazing authentic Indian food and exceptional service. They offer a selection of dosas like paper, plain khara. They're freshly made and delicious. We also ordered idlis which come with coconut chutney. Their chai is yummy. The goat biryani and the sukha goat is exceptional. Loved all the dishes we ordered. The service is fast and staff are pleasant.

    This restaurant is the perfect combination of typical South Indian vegetarian and North Indian food. We ordered the dahi vada which had a delectable topping of yogurt, tamarind sauce, and almond flakes. Highly recommend as an appetizer to start with. The paneer tikka sizzler was also delicious and came on a bed of vegetable: broccoli, kale, mushrooms, onions. I have never seen paneer tikka come with this many vegetables so I was pleasantly surprised, not to mention the taste was wonderful. We also ordered butter chicken that had the perfect amount of spice, not too creamy and not too mild. Chicken was tender. Rave dosa and Kal dosa were also delicious and came with three types of chutneys. Highly recommend the mango lassi and rose milk as well as the carrot Halwa for dessert. Other than the food, the restaurant was beautifully decorated, had ample seating, and service was fantastic. The host kept checking in on whether we needed anything, and service was 5 stars. I will definitely be returning!

    Ordered for pickup on DoorDash since they don't answer the phone and there's only like 3 tables in the restaurant. The food is really good tho. The dosa is overpriced to me $16! The butter chicken and palak paneer were good. I would come here again for pickup because the space is very small.

    Let me preface this by saying I do NOT like dosa. I've had a lot of dosa over the years and just haven't grown to enjoy it. That being said, DOSA POINT HAS THE BEST DOSA I'VE EVER TASTED. I crave it. I'm soothed by it. It's a flavor explosion in my mouth. I adore it. It adores me. Everyone here is super nice, and the inside is incredibly clean.

    OMG! Amazing food and love the ambiance. This place is such a hidden gem in Menlo Park. Can't wait to go back!

    Samosa good but wish they didn't cut it face down cause the filling falls out after a few minutes
    Lisa H.

    Pretty cute neighborhood Indian eatery - very casual - and very sparse in decoration/ambience. I went for lunch and got the samosas which are little heavier on the dough to filling ratio = prefer a thinner dough with more filling and would definitely request them to not cut them in half prior to serving. They get colder quicker this way and if you don't immediately turn them filling side up - the filling will fall out if you leave them for more than a few minutes before eating them....awkward lol Uttapam was ok but the dosas at the table next to me looked so much more compelling - huge crispy folded over crepe = the sambal served was the smallest serving I've ever seen at a dosa place and you get two of the same chutneys coconut I believe and then on tomato one... If you are in the area - definitely worth checking out

    This is my go to place for dosa! I love their masala dosa and I get it every time. Their medu vada and any of their biryanis are also amazing. They remodeled the inside since the last time I was here and it looks great. Service is also always great.

    I tried their paneer and mushroom Biryani again, and at this point I have one more important comment- the paneer / mushroom in the Biryani is too less, I really feel they need to improve here. At some point, it feels like you're eating just flavored rice.. Honestly, given the price of this Biryani compared to other Bay Area awesome Biryani restaurants, they need to buckle up!

    Wow. Could not have been happier with the food!…read more Will present the food in the order I would recommend: Banana fritters- soft clouds of fried dough, over some rum dark chocolate sauce. Divine! 7/5 Curry cauliflower over a red non spicy sauce. Refreshing! The flavors blended together with the flavorful but not overpowering flavor, with the well balanced sauce underneath. Could not stop eating it. $17 8/5 Mezze plate - the coconut feta was very creamy and good, I really enjoyed the pomegranate arugula salad with pickled onion and with the pieces of falafel inside. The flatbread was a little hard, but good. The eggplant was good and hummus also good. $32 price a little steep for the platter 6/5 Impossible cheeseburger - classic impossible burger. The standout item was the fries, quite good! Crisp outside and soft inside. 5/5 French toast - ok, a little dry, the berry sauce was good but lacking a little dynamic flavor maybe some citrus? 3/5 Cookie with vegan ice cream.

Everyone ordered different dishes so we could try a lot of things from the menu. 1/5 Athenian Eggplant - Far too sour and the flat bread was SO HARD. Even carb lovers didn't want to finish it. 4/5 Green Falafel - Came warm and the tzatziki sauce was pretty good. 4/5 French fries - Sauces were interesting. 1/5 Mushroom bao - ONE small piece of fried mushroom in each of the two baos that came out. It was stuffed with sour lettuce instead. 2/5 Corn pizza - That coconut mozz was not it for me. 3/5 Chicken sandwich - Solid. Drinks were good! What's up Doc was my fave. Located in the corner of the plaza next to CVS. Good service.

My husband's favorite was the sesame leaf as it was a blend of mango, yogurt, and chaat on a crispy sesame leaf. I particularly liked the kale chutney and the pani puri. My husband said the lamb loin was tough in some areas because of the cut. The menu was confusing as it labeled "g" as in containing gluten instead of "gf" for gluten-free as most menus do.

It is one of the best salads I've ever had, and it's visually stunning. All the textures of each item complement each other, and it was such a delicious, refreshing dish among all the other rich, heavier dishes. The drinks here are pre-batched, which I dislike because I can't have certain alcohols, so I couldn't order the drink I wanted from their current seasonal menu. I did order a mezcal cocktail, and it was very strong, smoky, and had beautiful ice that said "Ettan". The fried chicken was very good, and I loved the dip that came with it. I would have preferred the chicken tikka in smaller pieces, but it was also very good with some of their homemade butter in the center that was delicious. The chicken was small and came with only a few pieces, given the amount of sauce. I would have either had the sauce in a small pouring container on the side, like the curry accompanying the black cod, or used a different dish because there was so much more sauce than the chicken. The entrees came with 2 half pieces of whey naan and coconut rice. I think it should come with 4 pieces of naan, especially with dishes that come with a lot of sauce. The black cod was tender and delicious- it came wrapped in a banana leaf and a side of really delicious curry sauce. The service is great here and I had a good time and a good experience. I do think it is pricey for Indian food, though they do a great job of plating each dish and making it is visually appealing, but it didn't feel like traditional indian food I've had at other places. Its just more colorful and a little fancier and more done up for like a "fine dining restaurant". I wish they had other options of naan to order like other indian places I've visited- I was really looking forward to that, so I was disappointed I didn't see a butter or garlic or cheese naan on the menu to order. The whey naan was good but not as soft and chewy as other naan I've had. it was more crunchy.

Universally, we found the food to be lacking in salt this time. We were able to add salt to the General's Chicken and to the soup, but how do you add it to cooked pancakes?! The fries too seem to be undercooked. Had high expectations when we came in given our last visit but was underwhelmed today. I hope to give it one more chance in the future, and I do hope the blow it out of the park on flavor, like they did the first time I visited
