"We showed up for a late Sunday brunch. The service was a little slow, but it was Sunday, and we weren't in a hurry. The food was good enough, but I feel for me to get the authentic experience, I'll have to return for dinner and try the Indian food. Well, I returned, and I have to say brunch is not their thing. There are plenty of average brunch places you can go to in the East Bay and be completely satisfied. Anyone reviewing Venus as a brunch place is missing out on outstanding Indian cuisine. The food is excellent, and Deepak the same guy that served us brunch was also working the dinner shift when does this guy sleep?? Deepak is a great server and host, making everyone feel welcome. I'm not sure if he's part-owner of this place, but there's passion in his voice when he talks about the restaurant and its food; it's the voice of a representative, not a server. All of the food was delicious, but I particularly liked the gulab jamun for dessert; it was the best version of that dish I've ever had. I believe I found my Indian restaurant for the East Bay! BB"
