Delicious food and excellent ambience. Service is great and this is easily one of the two fine dining restaurants for Indian cuisine in Pleasanton, Dublin and Livermore area. Menu is short and a little expensive as you would expect from a fine dining restaurant they have a separate banquet area For about 300 people. Went on the first day of their opening but by the look and feel of it this restaurant is a Moscow for delicious Indian fare and a fine dining setting.

The culinary experience at this restaurant is truly exceptional – from the exquisite presentation to the delightful flavors, every aspect of the food is remarkable. The staff is not only pleasant and gracious but also exhibits outstanding hospitality. The restaurant boasts an elegant and family-friendly ambiance, creating a serene and untroubled atmosphere. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit, as the overall experience is undoubtedly worth it.

Karara Sabz roll felt more like a normal spring roll from Costco, Tandoori chicken felt more like rotisserie chicken from Costco, Old Fashioned was missing ice and the orange was just floating in it. Ambiance is good but the staff seemed very inexperienced and food was not something Sanjeev Kapoor can brag about. 43 dollars per person was not worth at all.

My family and I discovered this gem by accident and we were so happy we did. The atmosphere and the staff were so welcoming and the aromas had us excited to begin our taste journey. There were only three of us so we ordered two appetizers. The Chili Paneer was delicious. The right balance of heat and sweet. The Samosa Chaat was another favorite. We ordered papadam, rice, and Naan, we all agreed it was the best Naan we’d ever had. We tried two curries, the Ambala Chicken Curry and the Desi Goat curry. The chicken curry had pieces on and off the bone the heat slowly built but in a pleasant way that allowed you to taste everything. There was a delay in the goat curry because they had run out, but they made some fresh, I was told were great, especially as they got to the bottom of the bowl. At this point, although full, we couldn’t not try a dessert. Not knowing what we were ordering we ordered the Rasmali. Four little round white cakes arrived at the table with a milky saffron topping and some chopped pistachios. I’m not sure how to describe the cake texture, but it was delicious. We can’t wait to go back!

One of the best Indian curries I have tasted in restaurants I have frequented in many countries of the world - London, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Portugal and California, USA. The curry dishes and appetizers were definitely delicious, and to my surprise, a new experience in Indian cuisine.

This is truly a great experience for fine Indian dining in the Bay Area. Delectable food, quick service, and eye-popping ambience makes it a place you wouldn’t want to miss. Try out the paneer tikka and gobi manchurian.
