"We visited this much talked about place at Palo Alto on 2nd Septemberafter trying multiple reservations. Finally we got one around 9.30 pm. The decor, lighting and ambience were inviting as expected and we were waiting to try out the food. The big disappointment was the cold and rushed service . The entire staff was rushing the customers through the meal, reaching out to clear the plates multiple times even though we were eating!!This took away the pleasure of food . If they can't serve the staff at late hours, they should not give reservationAnyway, the first platter we called was edamame vadas which brought back memories of medhu vadas, minus the mess which one will get at any dharshini serving finger licking south Indian food in Tamil Nadu or Karnataka. The edamame chutney does not go well with the vadas. Please include a flowy and flavorful one.The Chicken Biryani was good. The barista onions gave it a delicious taste. The microgreens served no role in enhancing the look or flavour.The in-house salad was crunchy, fresh, bursting with sweet, sour flavours. The portions could have been larger.The Tender Coconut dessert beat all the blues of being rushed though we were constantly being nudged by the staff.It was our daughter's birthday dinner, so thanks for the complimentary lemon grass sorbet with brownie crumble.Overall the experience was good but not what you expect of a restaurant of high reviews.Vegetarian options: Good options for vegetarian eaters."
