  Came here for Onam sadhya and loved the whole experience. Food was delicious, the ambience, service, everything the best Onam experience in the Bay Area! Reservation in advance is must!

  We went here for lunch and ordered the Thali, and it easily ranks as the worst Thali experience we've ever had. Overwhelming and Impractical: The Thali was ridiculously overloaded with way too many options, so many that nobody could possibly finish or even figure out where to start. Disappointing Taste: Quantity completely trumped quality here. Not a single item on the platter was tasty, and honestly, every single dish somehow managed to taste worse than the last. Major Sticker Shock: To top it all off, we got hit with a shocking bill of $65 per Thali, apparently because it was an "Onam special" (though the food quality certainly didn't reflect any special care).

  The food was exceptional, and the portions were perfectly sized. I recently took my staff for lunch here, and we enjoyed the delicious food. However, I would suggest that the restaurant consider hiring more staff, as there was only one waiter to serve the entire establishment, which resulted in some delays in service.

  Had a great experience! Celebrated a birthday dinner here! The food was simply amazing! Ganesh was very welcoming, professional, and very helpful throughout. The service was excellent, everything was handled smoothly, and we were very happy with the overall experience. Really appreciate the attention to detail by Ganesh and customer-focused approach. Would definitely recommend this place to others and look forward to visiting again! A few points to consider for the owner: 1. The restaurant is very dimmed lit especially during night hours. 2. Upon entering the restaurant, on the left the access is very narrow due to a table and the plants on the left. People on that table might be bothered with the regular foot traffic. Might help if this passage is broadened.

  We had an outstanding experience here! We hosted a lunch party of 35 people here for our wedding! The entire experience was easy, stress free, and pleasant! Booking the restaurant just required a simple phone call. We looked through their menu and created a custom 3 course meal with 2 appetizers, 3 entrees, 2 sides, 2 desserts, and a drink all for about $65 per person. The restaurant was very accommodating throughout the entire process! They called in the morning to let us know that the place was ready to host us a few hours before we arrived eliminating any worries. The food was some of the best we've ever had!! The tender jack cutlets were amazingly crispy; the thattukada chicken fry was succulent, crispy, and juicy; the goat chukka tasted like a proper malayali style curry pairing perfectly with the Malabar style porotta and the kallappam; the Malabar black cod was delicious, moist, and perfectly seasoned with a delicious and unique gravy kinda like a combination between a coconut fish curry and avial; the nalli dum was beautifully presented and tasty, and also paired perfectly with the appam, porotta, and ghee rice; the chicken biriyani was delicious with plenty meat, and presented beautifully wrapped in banana leaf; the mango malai ghewar was the crowd favorite dessert with delicious mango puree and a crispy, crunchy base; the elaneer payasam in my opinion was even better with small crunchy apple pieces pairing perfectly with the sweet coconut milk. The jiggerthanda was the best thing I've had in a while. It tasted almost like an adapradhaman payasam we used to get from the nearby temple during onam!! All the staff were pleasant, patient, and the service was outstanding. At least a few of the staff whom we met are malayalees! The place is well decorated, has a bar with delicious and unique cocktails with an Indian twist, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic! The restrooms were clean and well attended although there are only two individual restrooms. This is a great place to host either a small or large party of about 45 people!!
