    We went with a little higher expectations and were disappointed. The menue was short as expected. The food was of average quality. The staff was less attentive than expected. There was not much to choose from for desert. Overall the experience was underwhelming. I think the restaurant can de better.

    I had made dinner reservation for last Friday at Palo Alto Khazana indicating that the occasion was my birthday. When we dined, neither was this acknowledged with wishes not was I offered a complimentary treat that is typically done in other restaurants. For a high-end and pricey restaurant I would have expected this basic courtesy. It was my special day and I had many other options to celebrated but I chose them. When I brought this up with the lady at the reception after dinner and while leaving, she seemed apologetic and offered to make amends and do better next time. The manager though didn't demonstrate any remorse. She had a 'yes-it-happened-but-can-we-move-on attitude offering a discount next time. When I said I may not be back, she just sighed and left. The service and hospitality lacked warmth. Food was okay but not matching the price. Definitely it was many levels lower than their other Bay Area one, Santa Clara Yellow Chilli. I was reviewing the reviews of last week and observed ratings had gone down drastically with many negative feedback. So there's something to be analyzed and attended by the management. I'm a big fan of Chef Kapoor's cheerful shows and delectable recipes and this experience was disappointing and left a sour taste.

    Excellent Indian food. All the dishes we ordered were lovely both in taste and to look at. Closer to authentic Indian food than other restaurants in the neighborhood.

    We were really enjoyed the decor and ambience of Khazana. The food was good for the most part, some items better than others, however, the main items were good. It lacked a bit of depth or flavors and didn't feel unique or special, as I would expect at that price point. There was plenty of waitstaff, however, very little interaction with us. A few dishes needed some explanation, as we didn't know what they were and there was no offering or concern for us other than taking an order and delivering. Not a great overall experience with regard to overall feel. This is a restaurant that needs someone to asking if there are questions about the menu, etc. Otherwise, lovely atmosphere and good food.

    Standard Indian food that was cooked well, but lacked the special twist I would expect from a chef of this caliber.
