   Great food and the place itself is quite good. We tried Dahi Kebab, Bhoot Jholakiya Chicken and Chicken Korma. All the items were great but the Dahi Kebab stood out!

   Food was terrific though, though were very distracted by a very loud fan or generator of some sort coming from the kitchen. We asked about it and were told it would end soon. Which it did halfway through our meal. Detracted from the experience and our ability to communicate across the table with friends.

   Food was as expected, amazing, as were the ambience & service. I look forward to coming here on special occasions, mainly, but also for simple pleasures.

   Showed up a little early for our reservation and was seated right away. Service was excellent - very fast. Food was also excellent! Great first time experience at Pippal.

   Maybe it was an off night but they had only one server for the entire section and the food quality was below average. They were clearly struggling and were under staffed

   Went there for dinner. We sat inside and it was too cold. Everyone seated inside were wearing their outdoor jackets. The folks sitting outside had heat laps near by and were probably warmer.

   Food was delicious and we enjoyed exploring dishes we had never had or even heard of before. The waiter was patient, friendly, and knowledgeable, and made sure we were well informed on any usual aspects of a dish (like the Litti Chokla being very dry by design). The prawn pepper fry were fantastic, and the mutton ahua was so spicy but so good. The bread under the beef rib eye really needs to be cut with kitchen shears and not a steak knife, but it's so good (soaking up all the yummy steak flavors) that I have ordered it every time I eat here. The cocktails were lovely.

   The food here is overpriced. The silverware and plates were worn out and had stains. Food taste was ok. The restaurants was extremely cold inside (Dec time) and when asked the server to turn on heat she denied claiming kitchen gets very hot in the back and we can’t have heat on. They don’t value the customer! There were mosquitoes flying inside! The naan looked deep fried and was very stretchy. It’s definitely overhyped and not worth the money. Will not recommend this to anyone.

    Best Indian food in the East Bay. Great cocktails, modern yet warm ambiance.
