We visited this much talked about place at Palo Alto on 2nd Septemberafter trying multiple reservations. Finally we got one around 9.30 pm. The decor, lighting and ambience were inviting as expected and we were waiting to try out the food. The big disappointment was the cold and rushed service . The entire staff was rushing the customers through the meal, reaching out to clear the plates multiple times even though we were eating!!This took away the pleasure of food . If they can't serve the staff at late hours, they should not give reservationAnyway, the first platter we called was edamame vadas which brought back memories of medhu vadas, minus the mess which one will get at any dharshini serving finger licking south Indian food in Tamil Nadu or Karnataka. The edamame chutney does not go well with the vadas. Please include a flowy and flavorful one.The Chicken Biryani was good. The barista onions gave it a delicious taste. The microgreens served no role in enhancing the look or flavour.The in-house salad was crunchy, fresh, bursting with sweet, sour flavours. The portions could have been larger.The Tender Coconut dessert beat all the blues of being rushed though we were constantly being nudged by the staff.It was our daughter's birthday dinner, so thanks for the complimentary lemon grass sorbet with brownie crumble.Overall the experience was good but not what you expect of a restaurant of high reviews.Vegetarian options: Good options for vegetarian eaters.
Highest quality fusion Indian fine dining in the South Bay. Have tried all the others and none come close. Every dish has been crafted with each detail accounted for. Have been here a couple of times and can’t wait to come back again. The burrata kulcha and Sesame leaf make for great starters and the seafood dishes all are exquisite. But you honestly cannot go wrong with anything on this menu. The setting with the Indigo art backdrop is also phenomenal.
Ettan is a great place to try Indian fusion cuisine with some authentic flavors. For cocktail we had kokam/smoke, woodside lemon chilli, which did not disappoint. We tried the sesame leaf, soft shell crab, octopus, Kerala fried chicken sea bass, everything was quite flavorful- sesame leaf was our least favorite. We were seated upstairs by the window, so wasn't blown away by the decor over there. But overall the space is well done and service was good.
Went for dinner mid-week. Overall, food was delicious, well presented, and seemed very high quality. I really enjoyed the flavors they were able to present with each dish and think they did a great job standing out from other restaurants. I would have liked slightly larger portions for the price, but that's just a nitpick. Overall I'd go again and recommend it.
