Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Palo Alto

Nathan J. • July 22, 2020Some of the best chicken and paneer tikka masala in the Bay Area. They grill the chicken perfectly. Juicy, tender, and with the right amount of flavor and spice. Delightful.

Elisa • October 13, 2017Get the branzino (sea bass), so good! Nice, cozy ambience but try to get a table farther from the door.

Hamish B. • December 23, 2015Great coffee! One of the few places in the US that know how to roast beans and steam milk!

Karolina 🦖 • December 31, 2015Amazing! Huge cupcakes, and they look so pretty... Red velvet cupcake is a must.

Gnat B. • August 20, 2015Great use of space. Sit outdoors if you can. Food is as reliable and delicious as their other outposts. Bonus: They serve cocktails here.

Yas A. • September 5, 2018Delicious, lots of variety, healthy, you'll never be bored. I wish every restaurant was like this.

Raj • March 30, 2023The Red King is my favorite- a little spicy, brimming with flavor and broth. Love the pork belly version with egg

Michael C. • April 22, 2013Pita bread is fresh and fluffy; perfect for devouring with green Harissa sauce and hummus!

Casey C. • December 15, 2010Amazing wine selection for a diner! Get some flowers Chardonnay to go with the kickass buffalo wings!

Marc K. • January 24, 2019Loved, love, loved the food here! One of the more ‘upmarket’ Greek tavernas I’ve eaten at and each dish (shared plates) did not disappoint! Opa!! Get the Octopus and the sautéed greens.

Douglas G. • August 17, 2019They make the waffle cones fresh behind the counter. Get one in a cup (like a tortilla) if you don’t normally like cones.

Caroline D. • January 20, 2017Great atmosphere, friendly servers, free wifi, and amazing coffee options. Try the classic Mint Mojito, Mocha Tesora, or the mint teas. They also serve pastries, bagels, and toast!

Julian F. • August 24, 2017Really cool open air coffee shop. Haven't tried the coffee but the mint lemonade is great for a hot summer day

Suzy C. • June 15, 2017This isn't a winery, but when you need wine, you need wine! It's super cute and right off University. Perfect place to go before dinner, and why not...after dinner too. Small inside, so best for 2.

Anna J. • May 6, 2016Desserts to die for--toffee date pudding with caramel sauce and ice-cream, lemon tart, and pavlova. Excellent!
