Regional Indian dishes, cocktails, and beer in airy space

























"Pippal is an Indian restaurant operated by AVB Hospitality, known for its modern and refined Indian dishes. It emphasizes high-quality ingredients and a sophisticated dining experience." - Mona Holmes
"Past the artisan candy and Scandinavian furniture on Bay Street is Pippal, a fancy Indian spot by the Rooh team. It’s our go-to in Emeryville for a group birthday dinner or a date night that requires changing out of sweats that may have a hole in the leg. The indoor-outdoor dining room has a huge rose pink chandelier and plush booths where people do celebratory toasts with brightly colored cocktails named after Indian landmarks. But the space doesn’t upstage the food. Chili garlic naan is fluffy and has a kick, the chicken momos are rotund and juicy, and we’d willingly drink the velvety fish and prawn curry via ice luge." - Julia Chen

"In November, the team behind Michelin-recognized Rooh in San Francisco opened Pippal, an upscale Indian restaurant serving Dungeness crab masala and composed cocktails." - Dianne de Guzman

"Recently opened as the Bhambris’ first East Bay restaurant, Pippal is located in Emeryville and represents the group’s regional expansion beyond San Francisco." - Dianne de Guzman
"Pippal is the newest project from the team over at Rooh. Their Emeryville Bay Street edition is just a tad more casual than Rooh, but the interior is still nice enough to work for a first date. Expect a wide-ranging menu of Indian dishes from various regions, like a Goan chorizo pulao, Kerala dungeness crab masala, and a Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani. Rounding it out is a selection of 12 cocktails and beers from all around India. " - Ricky Rodriguez
