We ordered prawn pepper fry, garlic naan bread, chicken momo dumpling, and Burrah Kebab | Local Lamb Chops | Mint Chili Chutney. All very delicious. Service was excellent.

The food selection is fantastic and the cocktails are amazing! By far one of the best hand crafted cocktails spots in the bay area. The food was a little spicier than I had anticipated but overall it was full of great flavor. I will definitely tell friends about this gem and will return to dine myself

We made a reservation for 9pm on a Sunday night. We made the reservation on Tuesday and it was confirmed by the restaurant. One day before our reservation, the restaurant claims to have called us, but we didn't see any calls or messages from them. Apparently the kitchen closes at 9pm. This reservation was to celebrate someone's graduation so we couldn't make it before 9pm; I called them and asked them to respect our confirmed reservation to which they agreed. We showed up, they made us order within 5 minutes and we were only allowed to stay until 10pm. We were very rudely asked to leave after that. We weren't able to finish our meal. I just don't understand why they would confirm or even have these reservation time available if they can't serve you. It sucked, very bitter sweet celebration. The bill was expensive for the treatment, for sure. We were 10 people so the tip was already in the bill, which was definitely not reflective of how we were served.

The food was excellent. Lots of flavor and filling bold textures. My son said the Mango Lassi was well crafted and reminded him of his trip to India. Pippal staff delivered attentive customer service it is a welcoming environment.

Food was good overall but the dahi vada was pretty bad. It was like an afterthought with no proper chutneys and sweet dahi - Extremely overpriced. The main waitress was ok and wish we got more attention through the evening. The guy who brought out our food was very good and asked us about how we liked the food.
