Khaki: San Ramon Mall a New Destination for Indian Cuisine in the East Bay’s Bishop Ranch | Eater SF

"Set in City Center Bishop Ranch at a former Curry Up Now address, this Indian bar and canteen from the teams behind Curry Up Now and Michelin Guide–approved Tiya pairs co-owner Akash Kapoor with chefs and brothers Sujan and Pujan Sarkar (Sujan took Chicago’s Indienne to a Michelin star) to deliver comfort food with fine-dining technique and personal memories of eating and living in India. A seasonally rotating menu aims to survey the country, with opening dishes like a Calcutta-style jackfruit cutlet, dry-aged beef nodding to coastal Karnataka, clay-pot Champaran mutton from Bihar, Bengali fish paturi steamed in banana leaf with assertive mustard, plus chaat and other street snacks. The name reclaims “khaki” (from the Urdu word for soil), and the look and feel channel the ’60s–’70s era of post-colonial India’s bright, zany colors; a 14-seat bar follows suit with a truffle-and-goat-cheese Negroni served with a cracker, a grapefruit–tequila paloma riff built on Bengal’s panch phoron, and a cocktail relying on clarified vanilla ice cream, basil, yuzu, and elderflower. The goal is a familiar community hangout serving “honest” food rather than a special-occasion classroom; dinner runs 4–9 p.m. Monday–Friday and until 10 p.m. on weekends, with lunch to follow, and opening night is Thursday, July 31." - Paolo Bicchieri

Sometimes the hype gets the better of you. Walked in without reservation on a Friday evening and the hostess asks if we can be done by 7:30 PM. We were done on time and there were a whole bunch of empty tables. The bill was wrong, a dish that we did not order was added. That was corrected promptly. Now for the food, average to say the least when you expect magic knowing the lineage of the chef et al. I have had better champaran mutton elsewhere, flavor wise. The quality of the mutton matters too. The Parsi chicken keema was pretty good. Overall portion sizes are pretty small but I can live with that. My highlight was the gulab jumon creme brûlée. I was excited to see the owner in person and excitedly greeted him and shook his hand. For the background of the ownership and upscale price etc, I think they can do much better. Edited as of 10/30/25 - the wife went back for lunch today and had a superior meal and she got me some champaran mutton which was delicious.

RAVE: Difficult not to write a story about this delightful new restaurant. -Immediate smiles upon arrival by Bria and a young lad with glasses. Wish I caught his name. -Owner Akash did a great job mediating between kitchen and front house staff -Most welcoming environment with a lovely tropical feel. Soft music in background allowing you to continue conversations -Staff was experiencing slight challenges with order placement system as kitchen quickly recovered delay getting food to tables -Bria was helpful with understanding menu items while Sarah maintained a super clean bar as she made delicious cocktails -Beef Lovers: Mangalorean was made to perfection! Tender meat bites in the most perfect salan with minimal oil. Flavors did not overwhelm the dish. Every bite allowed you to understand a simple yet complex profile. The aroma drew your heart to another place. My highest compliments to the ever so talented Chef Krishna and competent kitchen staff -True Vegetarians are not forgotten here. Tandoori Cauliflower again cooked to perfection. My only note is to serve with chutney -Between dishes Mr.Will, Bria and Sarah as well as Mr. Akash routinely observed each guest to determine how they can improve any little detail for the perfect experience. -Each dish we were presented with was so beautiful we took a few minutes to admire. Please be patient as this is a new restaurant. Relax, enjoy a drink or tea with my new favorite dessert Golab Jamun Crème Brûlée with a delicious custard. This too is an experience. Hope you enjoyed as much as we did.

Absolutely delightful experience! This Indian restaurant captures the authentic flavors of Bengal perfectly — from the subtle spices in the mustard Dak Bangla curry to the comforting taste of Gulab Jamun Creame Brulee. Every dish felt home-cooked yet refined, with just the right balance of spice and sweetness. The ambience was warm and welcoming, and the staff were attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommend it to anyone craving for not-so-routine Indian comfort food done right!

Went in for lunch. The staff was polite and there was no wait on a Sunday. We ordered Chicken Keema and butter chicken with plain naan. Chicken keema with buttery Pav was yummy. Good portion size, buttery and spiced. The highlight was definitely the Butter chicken, the soft chicken tikka with the perfectly paired curry. Overall the two items we ordered lived up to the expectations. Some items are priced a little too high which we wanted to try but saw that the portion size was too small, ie biryani. The restaurant is fairly new so the ambience was nice.

I had high hopes, but the experience was very disappointing. There was a wait, and they don’t have any electronic system to manage the queue, so you can’t even tell if they honor it. Ordered dahi puri, and honestly, I couldn’t tell if it was actual dahi or whipped cream. Then came the keema chicken, felt like a generic street-level butter mix without any authentic Indian flavor. The portion size was a joke, and the mutton was half-cooked and rubbery. To make things worse, the order was wrong, and the server didn’t seem familiar with the menu, which is surprisingly very short. They’re trying hard to look fancy with drink names and stylish cutlery, but the taste doesn’t match the presentation at all. Personally, I doubt this place will last two years—let’s see if it does, and I’ll review again. Ordered the mutton Champaran expecting something traditional, but they served it with a thick gravy base, which is not how it’s supposed to be. It feels like the chef is confused about which audience they’re trying to please. If you really crave authentic Indian food, this is not the place. Also, it’s clear they are paying Instagram influencers for fake positive reviews. I’ve even unfollowed one influencer after seeing their paid promotion because it was completely misleading. Lastly, I didn’t dare to order desserts. Just clicked a picture of the dessert menu and left.

We sat at the bar for an early evening drinks and appetizers and had an absolute fantastic time! Food was delicious with a beautiful presentation. Cocktails had unique flavors which just blew us away... so good! Service wise, I was very impressed... staff was super attentive! We'll be back for dinner soon! 😃

This is by far one my worst experience eating at a so called “fine dining “ Indian place. We ordered saag panner , dal makhani , pin wheel panner for the entree. The appetizers were pathetic and we had to return the cauliflower koliwada since it was under cooked. The only good thing about this place was “Jacob”who was our host and was super helpful and took care of our group.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Khaki new restaurant and I must say it was a fantastic experience. The food is bursting with rich well balanced flavors definitely deserving a 5 out of 5. It’s clear the chef knows exactly what they are doing as every dish was thoughtfully prepared and truly delicious. The service was warm and attentive making us feel welcomed throughout our meal. The ambiance is lovely cozy and inviting perfect for a relaxed dining experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to discover a new favorite spot. You won’t be disappointed. Make sure to try the butter chicken, Andhra chicken, prawn moilee, panipuri, and the desserts.

Food was exceptional. We had cauliflower koliwada and chicken malai tikka for appetizer along with tequila drink and passion fruit drink. The chicken was excellent but Cauli was a good appetizer too. We ended our main course with mangalorean beef sukka. I'm a born mangalorean so little critical here, growing up we used lot of coconut flake for the sukka and this modernized version is more catered to Indian american version! It's just me being critical. We had butter Pao and naan, my advise is take the Pao. Later we had the tres leches for desert. It's good! Overall service was great . People constantly attended and asked us if we needed anything. Ambiance is very good! It's good for a date night. Parking is excellent at bishop ridge

What an amazing place, with an absolutely amazing staff to compliment . We went without reservations and since we were there @6.30pm we did manage to get a table. The managers Amar and Anuj were hospitable and moved us to a table of our choice, we tried the Avocado edamame bhel & sweet potato Papdi chaat, which were yummmm, the drinks - khaki 2601, Sept 26, 1949 and A night in a 2BHK were amazing as well (As interesting as their names ) I made it a point to meet - Chef Krishna, one of the most humble chefs I have met recently. He recommended the fish (branzino) with coconut rice and boy that was absolutely wonderful. Our server - William was very polite and pretty knowledgeable too about the Menu. I tried the Sharbat too which interesting as well as refreshing.. Highly recommend it and will definitely visit again with some more friends and family...

Visited a 2nd time to give it another chance and the service was much better and food came out reasonably fast but I also came around 4 pm when very few guests were there. Unfortunately, this time I had a dish that caused me to have an upset stomach (without giving too much detail) and I did reach out to the team, but haven't heard a response yet. I'm disappointed at these experiences given this is a high-end restaurant. I expected a better experience from this brand.

Loved the food. Parsian keema pav is delicious. Chicken malai tandoori was just wow. The service was quick however the server missed my to-go order which shows a lack of experience and communication. The ambiance was great.

We dined here for the Diwali Fix Prix Menu. Upon being seated we were brought our regular menus. I would assume they would inform the guests or place the special menu along with the regular menu. Luckily I had seen on social media that they had a special menu and requested that menu. We ordered our drinks and our food. Appetizers came out fairly quickly and we were impressed with the quality and taste of the chicken and shrimp. Now there were about 5 other tables that had been seated and food was ordered. The kitchen seemed to be overwhelmed along with the waiters. Food going to wrong tables and long wait. 80% of the restaurant was empty so I don't know how they would handle a full house. We waited for 1.5 hours for our main course to come out after the appetizers! At this point our baby lost his patience and we had to ask for the dinner to be packed up. During this time no chai was offered even though it was a part of the fix prixe menu. We asked for the dessert to be packed to go as well and the waiter handed us a menu and was confused when we asked if it was not included because the menu we ordered from states dessert was included. Food was decent but service needs improvement. Will come back to give it another shot and see if there is improvement.

Came here for lunch with the boo. We sat outside, since it was a beautiful day. The meal itself was stellar. The sweet potato chaat was very flavorful, and the acidity really whet my appetite. The zucchini and ricotta kofta was also a star dish. We basically licked the creamy sauce from the bowl. The butter chicken was delicious. My only gripe is that our dessert took 30 minutes to come out. We also had difficult flagging down someone since we were seated outside.

Great ambience. We tried most of the appetizers and loved all of them-taste and presentation. The gulab jamun creme brûlée was very good. The cocktails were also good. Our server was friendly and we had a great time. Definitely plan to come back to try the entrees.

Made a reservation in advance. The inside is pretty nice and there is bar seating as well. Some of the tables are right near the window and it can get a tiny bit warm if there is direct sun (although there are shades on the windows). Service was good and attentive. The menu we received in person had less items than the menu online on their website - not sure why. We started off with two starters: Sweet potato - nice fresh starter that had a nice crunch due to the fried spinach and kale. The sweet and sour taste meshed well. I wish there were more pieces of sweet potato as there were maybe 4-5 chunks at the bottom. Malai mushrooms - nice chew to the mushroom that made it seem like meat. Good umami and a good amount of sauce. Main courses: butter chicken - there was a good amount of chicken in this dish. They were all very soft as well. The chicken went well with the garlic naan, which is on the thinner side but are still crispy and slightly chewy. There was a good amount of garlic on it. Beef sukka - has a bit of a kick! I think this would pair better with rice instead of naan. The beef is really tender and spiced fairly well. We opted for the crème brûlée for dessert, which was very good. It didn't have an overly caramelized top, which I actually prefer. The inside contains gulab jamun, which I've never had before. It made the dish more spongy instead of overly creamy. All in all, a good restaurant that I wouldn't mind returning to and trying some of the other dishes.

Please make a reservation before coming here and note they open at 5pm, NOT 4pm! So, we visited Khaki today for an early dinner. The hours here on Yelp show opening at 4pm however when we got here at 4:15 pm we were told by the manager there that they actually open at 5pm. So we walked around in the shopping center and came back at 5pm when we were told by the same person that they need 5 more mins to open. We were fine with that and waited patiently outside. At 5:05pm he comes to us and says they're ready to open now and asked if we have a reservation. We didn't have a reservation but we were taken aback that he hadn't mentioned anything about making a reservation when he spoke to us 4:15pm or 5pm. Anyway, he said he may be able to give us a table but he would need to check and get back to us in a couple of minutes because they get completely booked out since it's their second day since opening. Thankfully he comes back saying he could seat us four. Phew! Our server was friendly, courteous and very attentive. Ambience was good. It was quiet, no one was around besides another couple. It remained slow for the next hour or so. Drinks menu looks unique and they have a full bar with bar seating. Food was presented well. Everything we tried here tasted good without being excellent so to say. We had a bunch of appetizers- Ragda pani puri, sweet potato patta chaat, jackfruit cutlets, Chicken Kheema that came with two dinner rolls, Tandoori Malai Mushrooms and the BBQ pork ribs. They had two desserts on their menu- Rasmalai Mango Tiramisu and Gulab Jamun Creme Brulee, both sounded unique. We decided to try the Gulab Jamun Creme Brulee which was delicious! Creamy vanilla custard with Gulab Jamun pieces topped with crunchy caramelized sugar. The kids in our party really enjoyed it. All in all, this place is on the price side. We may come back for the drinks and desserts.

Taking the place of Curry Up Now in Bishop Ranch, Khaki is a new high-end Indian restaurant offering a creative, eclectic menu of dishes from all over India. We started with the Sweet Potato & Patta Chaat, a creative take on Indian street food made of charred sweet potato topped with crisp, chickpea flour-battered leaves of spinach and kale, along with mint & tamarind chutneys, yogurt, pomegranate arils, and sev. The chaat was crispy, earthy, sweet, sour, spicy, and savory all at once, but the part that stood out was the shatteringly crispy leaves of battered greens! From the selection of non-veg appetizers, the Prawn Koliwada was a plate of five tiger shrimp covered in a crunchy shell of semolina, topped with chili mayo and garlic thecha; and the Parsi Chicken Keema was ground chicken in a spiced tomato sauce, topped with crispy potato straws, and served with toasted pao on the side. Moving on to the entrees, the Mangalorean Beef Sukka was made of chunks of semi-dried beef cooked with spices, onion-tomato masala, black pepper, and ghee, creating a strong, hearty, meaty combination of flavors. But my favorite dish was the Zucchini and Ricotta Kofta, which were deep-fried dumplings made of a soft mixture of grated zucchini and ricotta cheese, served over a lusciously creamy, slightly spicy yogurt gravy that was perfect for dipping with naan bread! Overall, the food here was delicious, and the service was even more memorable--every staff member we interacted with was super attentive and hospitable!

The menu is small, but the dinner and dining experience were fantastic. I ordered the prawn moilee with rice. The rice was super fragrant and the prawns were perfectly cooked. The coconut broth was creamy but felt surprisingly light to eat. Our waitress was super sweet and made sure to let us know about any possible dishes that might be best for the unique dietary needs in our party. The decor is fresh, clean and modern. Be careful when sliding in and out from the table though - the benches move easily and I was definitely not graceful when I tried to get up from the table. I would definitely return.

We had high expectations with all the hype. We came for the resturant week menu and were told that it ended yesterday the 25th, however, the couple next to us were offered the resturant week menus. We were lied to from the beginning. Drinks were better than the food. The food lacked so many elements. One of the dishes was bland. Another dish was so sweet and it lack depth and flavor. You can find better naan and rice at other Indian restaurants in the area. The prices here are pretty high for the portions you receive. Save your money, go elsewhere. Service on the other hand was great. Will not be returning

Quantity is a JOKE! What a joke! Paid $100 for 4 items - super disappointed. Each item, barely enough for 1 person as you can see in photos. Tastes really good. Avocado Edamame chaat was surprisingly good, but first time in a long time we were disappointed and had to resort to "maggi" to fill up our appetite. Not wearing this Khaki again!

SERVICE Had dinner today and I must say it was a 10/10. Phenomenal service and delicious food. I highly recommend! We had a lovely welcome, as we were welcomed with open doors as we walked in and as we walked out. We didn't have to ask for anything (e.g water refill, clearing the table (removing finished plates), and changing out our plates and utensils for new ones for our upcoming meals after our appetizers, going as far as opening our doors, it's like they read our minds, which I absolutely LOVED! They were also so nice and professional! My new favorite restaurant at the lot! FOOD We had Dak Bungalow Chicken which was okay, but the butter chicken was absolutely delicious, we ordered garlic naan and basmati rice. Shoutout to the chef! We also had Parsi Chicken Keema for appetizers and it was wonderful. Presentation was beautiful. Spice level was just right. The flavors were absolutely delicious. OVERALL The place looked amazing. Fancy, elegant, and clean. The service, food, professionalism, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant went above and beyond our expectations. 10/10.

A great new addition to bishop ranch, and to San Ramon area. The ambiance is great and very soothing. The food was also great we had the beef sukka and lamb shank Biryani were stellar. We also had the garlic nan. It was average The butter chicken was also good. The service was decent but It needs to get better. Overall it was a good experience and I would go back to try other items.

Let's start off with the important ones - food and service. Both were exceptional. Service - I personally loved that everyone was dressed well. The staff that took our order was dressed in a simple clean suit. Nice. This was a good start to the evening. Our guy (sorry, missed this name, but white guy) was wonderfully polite and efficient. The waiters were also properly dressed. This shows that the management cares about their impression and appearance. Nice. Food - delicious. Kheema was very good. Naan (esp garlic) as delicious. OK, so why only 4 stars? The cost! For 5 of us, the cost was almost $300!! We did not eat a huge amount. So, yes, I was surprised by the cost. I would have expected this at an upscale place, not a restaurant in a mall. Either way, great place. Just watch your bill as you order!

I know this restaurant is new, so I really tried to show some grace -- the food itself was good -- but the overall service and organization definitely need work. When we arrived for dinner, the maitre'd seated us but forgot to give us menus, which she brought back a few minutes later. Our server never introduced himself, and throughout the meal checked on us maybe twice. After our appetizers came out, there was a long gap before anything else arrived. We later noticed our server sitting in a booth behind us, seemingly on break -- without letting us know or arranging for coverage. Even at a casual chain restaurant (Applebees and Chilis), that sort of thing is handled better. I asked two different staff members for yogurt, and the wait for that was so long that I eventually just asked for the check and had our food packed to go. When I paid, there was no "thank you for coming in tonight!" or "have a nice evening" from the server- bro had me tap and that's it's . The maitre'd was polite enough to say goodbye on the way out, which I appreciated. There were also a few odd moments during dinner -- the entire staff disappeared for a few minutes for what seemed to be a team meeting (complete with a loud cheer in the kitchen), leaving guests looking around wondering where everyone went. A delivery came through the dining area mid-service, and I was asked to move my baby's high chair so boxes could be brought through. It felt very disorganized. A few other things: only two bottled beers were available, and the taps seem to be for decoration. The chefs walked around the restaurant a few times but didn't greet anyone or smile -- it all just felt cold and awkward. Also no baby changing stations in the bathrooms, FYI! The food had potential, but service and management issues really overshadowed it. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return based on this experience.

Really enjoyed the food & flavors at Khaki! The reviews are a bit harsh although somewhat understandable considering it's definitely on the more expensive end of "semi-casual dining". BUT most restaurants in Bishop Ranch are, so this shouldn't be a surprise. While the flavors may come off as slightly muted compared to more traditional Indian restaurants, I think this was done intentionally to be able to appeal and satisfy a broader audience. We only tried a couple dishes but we were very impressed by the lamb shank purdah biryani! The meat was soooo tender. One of the best lamb dishes I've had in a long time. Not pictured: complimentary mini samosas, garlic naan, and mango lassi - all delicious! Overall Khaki exceeded expectations and provided a delightful experience. Will definitely be back to try other dishes, but will be hard to resist ordering the lamb shank biryani again.

You can feel all the impact of inflation and tariffs at this place. They charged $2 for cube of each ice 5% mandate - said everything is expensive these days, hello .. did you not already factor that in highly priced food 20% gratuity for 3+ .. very soon they will do this on solo dinners.. when did gratuity become 20% for 3 Food was okay, service was better Totally not worth the spend

Overpriced & Poor Service Despite Nice Location I visited Khaki recently and was quite disappointed. The location is great, and we chose to sit outside, but the experience overall was not pleasant. The food was very expensive for the portion sizes--definitely not worth the price. The service was unsatisfactory: the staff forgot to bring our appetizer, and even water had to be asked for multiple times. To add to this, the tea plate served was chipped/broken, which made the experience feel careless. For the reputation and pricing, I expected a much better dining experience.

Walked into Khaki: Bar and Indian Canteen expecting at least one thing to match its name. The décor? Not canteen-like. The setup? Sort of canteen. The prices? Absolutely five-star-hotel. The food? Just okay. Not bad, not memorable. The portions? So small you'll start wondering if they're running a tasting-menu experiment. And then comes the real magic trick: on top of the already high prices, there's a 5% surcharge plus a 20% automatic gratuity for parties of four or more. It's called a "canteen," but it's priced like a luxury tasting room. So dont get fooled by the word canteen because the décor isn't canteen, the vibe isn't canteen, and the prices? Definitely not canteen.

This is my 3rd visit. It's such a beautiful culinary experience. The flavors are amazing. Authentic spices from India with a fantastic Michelin star chef creating the perfect combination to awaken your taste buds. So many choices make it hard to choose and easy to return to try a new recipe. A must go!

As a Californian I was late to my love of Indian food. This place brings both locations together in such a beautiful way and it's my new favorite spot. Jacob (I think was his name, from Michigan) gave absolutely amazing and charming service. The SWEET POTATO & PATTA CHAT and ZUCCHINI AND RICOTTA KOFTA were quick favorites and their BUTTER CHICKEN is everything you want it to be. I do wish they would turn down the lighting as it's not conducive to a date night, it is like an operating room in there, but that's the least of my worries there. (Curry Up Now had the same problem) Liquor selection and cocktails were right on. Surprised this place is doing so well right at the start. We'll be back soon.

I've eaten at a number of Indian places but this one takes the cake for taste. The food was exceptional and the drinks were great. Their prawn Koliwada and Mangalorean Beef Sukka are the standouts for sure. They're still working out the kinks on service a bit but the menu is a home run. And shoutout to our amazing server Eleanor!

Just opened where the old Curry Up Now used to be at Bishop Ranch. Rave on the Ragda Pani Puri, butter chicken, garlic Naan and the chili cheese naan. All were delicious and rich in flavor. Sat at the bar. Very good vibe. Good for families or date night. They just opened. Try it out!

Excellent service, delicious vegetarian options. This is a modern take on Indian food, not a traditional Indian restaurant. Expect delicious flavors, not big portions. Quality over quantity. The cocktails were outstanding. Easily the best restaurant in the San Ramon area. Want better? Go to Oakland or SF. Want better deal for food? Go to one of the Dhabas around town. If you want great food, great service, and great atmosphere, come here.

Khaki was a great experience. We went with a group of 9, so we were able to try a lot of the menu. My favorite menu items were the rich and creamy Butter Chicken, the Andhra Chili Chicken, and the Chili Cheese Naan which was delicious. Service was great as well, all the servers were quick and attentive, and the owner of the restaurant as well as the Chef are very present and go around to each table to ask about their experience, which gives a very personal and unique vibe, since a lot of restaurant owners/chefs do not do that.

I had to download this app just to write a review for this server named Jacob. His service and charisma were phenomenal!! The butter chicken he brought to my table was absolutely delicious and definitely a 10/10 would recommend. I would say to add just a hint of salt though.

We tried Khaki on Oct 4th for dinner. Was pleasantly surprised to find out that this place was from the group that owns Tiya in SF. Chef Sujan is associated. We had tried Tiya and were pleased. We ordered Ragada Pani Puri (2), Khaki kabab, and Sweet Potato and Patta chaat for starters. Got one pani puri and the second one did not come until our mains were getting ready to be served. We had to cancel it as it was quite delayed. On the mains Chicken Butter Masala took forever to get served. Breads went cold by the time it was served. Food quality was good not great. Service was poor and what sucks is they charge by default 20% gratuity even though their service was below par. The manager had a stubborn attitude. She was not apologetic for the delay. I am not sure if I would visit again.

Butter chicken is phenomenal. So good we ordered two. Food is elevated, but simple. We will definitely put Khaki on the regular rotation.

Let's start with the staff and lack of personality. We ordered and I asked for a Ginger beer and got ginger ale, there is a difference. The mango lassi you see below is how it was originally served to us, half full that costs $9. Really! The food was tasty but it took thirty minutes not during peak hours to get our main dish. Would we come back? The wife and I agreed...No. We still like Paradise as our favorite Indian place to eat. Check it out.

Too expensive for the quality and quantity of the food they serve. There are lot of pretentious Indian restaurants in Bay area and this is one of them.

Sometimes, we like to eat at San Ramon City center because parking is easy and free. For dinner, we decided to try Khaki. At 6, we were seated right away at one of the outdoor tables. Thanks for the pictures from fellow Yelps reviewers, we decided to have the lamb shank which was enough for two of us. We also tried an appetizer, Ragda Pani Puri, as well as their cocktail, Khaki 2601. The foods came pretty fast and were delicious.

I ordered takeout here and it was a very disappointing experience. * Chicken Butter Masala - just average, nothing special. Honestly tasted like the same generic version you can get at any other Indian spot. * Champaran Mutton - absolutely terrible. It tasted stale, as if it had been cooked weeks or even months ago. The flavor was so bad it made us feel sick. I specifically told the staff not to give me anything stale, and they still did. And for $30, this was a complete rip-off. When you pay premium prices, you expect fresh food and at least some care in preparation. Instead, what I got was unacceptable. Never again.

This is definitely a 5-star place, but the sever/waitress that was assisting us really brought the whole experience down a star. Everyone knew the assignment but her; giving a great Michelin star quality service, but you have someone with probably a lot of sever experience in chain restaurants bringing it all down. Just a few more critiques then I'll move on. Very open concept so you see everyone working, she was literally just going around talking to everyone of her co-workers. She came around a few times to check up on us, but once we finished eating we were invisible. Another sever came by and said they would get her over. (He was great btw, even just filling water glasses) Also probably not the best to tell customers you don't know what the food you're serving looks like. Came with the bf at 6PM with a reseavtion on a Friday. Not really busy so not sure why having a reservation was strongly suggested. We got the dahi puri, parsi chicken keema, chicken butter masala, zucchini and ricotta kofta and the garlic naan. YUM!! Everything was amazing. The dahi puri was really good. I've gotten pani puri before from a hole in the wall restaurant and it wasn't for me. So very happy we their preparation. The yougrt and raspberry on it was amazing, tart and sweet. Yum, the chicken keema was hella good too. It was a delicious homey ragu with a kick and I loved the bread it came with. The butter chicken was really good too. It's the bf's go to item. The chicken was moist and the masala was great. Yum, the kofta was the show stopper. I have never had kofta before, but it sounded delicious and man that crunch on the kofta! I don't know what was in the gravy, but it was heavenly I could have just eaten that and been satisfied. I felt jipped on the naan. It was like one whole naan cut into fours. I was hoping to try their desserts (if they had some) but our sever just took so long to get back to us, we probably would have just said no. Located in the Bishop Ranch City Center. There is free garage parking. On the pricer side, but I think 90% worth it. I do feel like with these dishes, plain rice should just always accompany them free on charge and/or option of unlimited naan. But I get they wanna be fancy with it. Definitely a great place to try and put in the go to bank. The bf wasn't into it but we'll see; I definitely wanna go back.

Totally disappointing experience. Food was heavy with cream and sugar, lacked authentic flavors, and on top of that it took almost one hour to get two dishes only while the restaurant was not even half occupied. I would not recommend this place at all. It reminded me of old time Indian buffet places where they used to service super heavy Indian food so people will not each much.. Only saving grace was the naan and masala chai which eventually became cold drink by the time food came to the table.

We had reservations at Khaki and arrived a bit earlier than our time. Thankfully, they were able to accommodate us, but there was noticeable confusion between the two people at the front desk. I got the classic "Gen Z stare," with no real communication until the hostess finally grabbed menus and asked us to follow her. Once seated, things didn't improve. Our server seemed like it was his first time seeing the menu. When we asked about popular dishes or recommendations, he had no insight. Since our kids were hungry (we had just come from a Garba event), we asked him to bring out food as soon as it was ready. The chicken kebabs arrived first--just five small pieces--and then nothing else came for another 30-40 minutes, despite us flagging him down. Eventually, we told him enough is enough, we'd like to checkout and leave so he brought over the manager. Unfortunately, the manager didn't connect with the server at all. Instead of clarifying with him, she started asking us what we had ordered, which was frustrating after such a long wait. My husband emphasized the kids needed food quickly. Her response? "I'm a mother too, and it's Saturday night." I couldn't help but think--yes, thank you for emphasizing on being a mother but you're not a good manager at all, isn't Saturday night exactly when a restaurant should be running at its sharpest for both customer experience and revenue? She admitted the server likely mixed up the sequence of orders, which wasn't surprising given his struggles with English. When the rest of the food finally came, it was overly spicy despite us clearly asking for mild. Water refills were rare, directions were often missed, and by the time we complained, two other tables nearby were also voicing concerns. The manager repeatedly tried to smooth things over by offering free dessert, but by then we were completely over the experience. Bottom line: I won't be coming back. The execution and service were such a mess that I cannot imagine bringing clients here (I work nearby). I'd love to have a reliable spot close to the office, but I won't risk embarrassing myself--or starving my kids--for a second round.

Fantastic dinner experience. Everything was delicious, especially the appetizers. You have to try at least one of the amazingly inventive cocktails they have, some of the best drinks I've had in the bay. Cannot recommend this place enough!
