Ettan

The 24 Best Restaurants In Palo Alto - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"One step into this two-floor Indian restaurant will make you forget about the alley you walk through to get here. The domed skylight looks like it could belong in a cathedral, and intricate blue flowers line the walls. Ettan (from the same folks as Copra) serves dishes from across the subcontinent like a maa ki dal with slow-cooked black lentils, a wonderfully crispy Kerala fried chicken, and a paratha with enough paper-thin layers to qualify as a book. Expect every plate to be as elaborate as the space, filled with pops of color like an intensely maroon beetroot with the shrimp." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, gabi moskowitz
