“Good drinks and great food. The cheese board and shrimp tacos are my personal favorites”

431 Kipling St, Palo Alto, CA 94301, United States

“Recently went here for early dinner and we were able to avail of happy hour appetizers in addition to dinner. Food was very good, especially the spanakopita! So flakey and scrumptious. We also ordered the mini cheese board, chicken Skewers, and swordfish Skewers. The chicken was better than the swordfish, but the veggies and sauce served with the fish were incredible compared to the hard rice served with the chicken. Everything was flavorful though. We actually had our rehearsal dinner here right before my husband and I got married in 2019. We had the dinner at the back garden and everything was tasty. Staff was very accommodating and nice then and still nice now. I am giving 5 stars coz my first experience was really good. Willing to go back and maybe order other food.”

“This place is a 5star all around! Rather you’re on a date or eating with a friend or family keep in mind this place is not very kid friendly… kids are welcomed but it’s just not a kid friendly environment. the food and service is always outstanding. Everything is made in-house with super fresh ingredients, From the bread to pasta to desserts. Wine selection is also great and the service… they are super awesome :) I love it love it love it 😍 keep it in mind that their menu is constantly changing very seasonal!!”

“My friend found this spot via IG. It was around 10 pm when we arrived. Street parking only! We got some passion fruit juice, quesa berria tacos, berria ramen, and mini pancakes. I've tried a few berria trucks before, and the soup has always been light. This one, though, was dark and so flavorful! It was soo good and the ramen as well. Never thought I'd try the ramen berria but my friend got it. I'm glad we found this spot. It wasn't too busy at all but there were people around and trickingling still.”

“Great stop on our exploratory cocktail trip of SF. We went at a fairly quiet time of day, just after opening on Saturday, and it was pretty empty. We had several drinks, all of which were pretty good. The setting and ambiance make this place pretty cool, and the drinks for well with the African/“jungle” theme - quite different from the average bar. We had several dishes off the food menu and they were all very good!”

“We made reservations and came with a group of 8. The drinks came out quick and were definitely a step above your average cocktail. The highlight of the drinks here are the fun and wacky containers that they may come in! You don’t have to order from the indoor only menu to have a great and fun experience! It’s a fun place to experience with a group of friends or even a date/friend at the bar or outside.”

“Came here for a dinner with some friends after looking at the menu and all being very impressed with it. Definitely love the food here and come again! D6 Chicken Tikka Fries - So so good!! I was actually surprised but this ended up being my favorite dish of them all. Good amount of fries and the chicken tikka Masala on top had so much flavor. It went really well with the fries as well. Street Side Chow Mein - really good portion size and the noodles were so good even on their own. Szechwan Chicken - I asked for no mushrooms and extra vegetables on this but they did not deliver on that aspect. A bit too much gravy and they weren't as many vegetables as expected. Chicken was flavorful though. Cauliflower Manchurian Wings - And I was surprised by this one as well! So much flavor and it was hard to actually share this one because I could have eaten it all myself, haha. Butter Makhni Rigatoni - What a funky mashup dish. This actually came through with the Flavor of the butter chicken. And it actually went so well with the pasta! Italian Pav Bhaji Pizza - A little bit of a disappointment here. I was really expecting so much more in terms of the flavor of the actual bhaji that goes in the pav bhaji, but it just tasted like a bunch of things thrown onto the pizza base. Veggie California Love - was delicious! Just the right amount of toppings to crust ratio and a good flavor to the droppings and the crust as well. Everyone loved the drinks too! The mojito and”
