I was very disappointing with the food it was not fresh or tasty. The place is pretentious and over rated will not repeat.

I went here with a bunch of friends and we had a great time! I've never had Indian fusion like this before. The prawns with coconut mustard are to die for. Pros: Great food Cons: Noisy

We had been meaning to try Junnoon for quite a while and finally had a chance to celebrate. The prawns with coconut mustard and the tandoor steak and cauliflower were all fantastic. We also ordered several naan and paratha (Indian breads) and a couple of chutneys to sample the flavors. It was an unusual and very flavorful experience. We recommend this highly for special occasions. Pros: fusion dishes you can't find anywhere else Cons: dining room can get a little loud

On a recent visit, I was amazed by the restaurant??????s embarrassing inability to manage its reservation system. I had made a reservation several days in advance; our group of three arrived exactly on time and was kept waiting for precisely 52 minutes! I still cannot believe that we put up with that level of incompetence; I guess at some point it turned into a game of finding out how much longer it would take for us to be seated. No explanations or apologies were offered by the thoroughly unimpressed and aloof staff. What is worse, it took them more than half an hour even to offer us free drinks. I have never before encountered a restaurant in Palo Alto that so brazenly refuses to honor confirmed reservations. The food is fairly pleasant, although I agree with a previous reviewer that it is a far cry from Tabla??????s fare in NYC. Not recommended unless you are prepared to wait for an hour or have taken the bizarre precaution of making a parallel reservation at another place nearby. Never again!

I met a friend here late on a weeknight and it was fairly crowded, but we were seated right away. It has a nice bar area that would be a good place to meet for a drink before dinner. We tried a number of different dishes which were all tasty, but the goat cheese naan was definitely my favorite. Depending on what you order, though, the prices do add up.

Just had their Mother's day special pre-set veggie menu. Food was just great right from appetizers to dessert. Service was ok. Pros: Food Cons: Service

It was his Birth Day and I wanted to take him to a nice restaurant. I am not an Indian food expert, but he was very much craving for a good Indian restaurant, so I looked at City Search and Junnoon was the most highly rated restaurant from the Indian food section. Unfortunately, this was the worst restaurant experience we ever had!!! The service was so so so bad that they were ashamed to give us the check! The food was a weird fusion with some Indian flavoring, nothing exciting nor too tasty either. It wasn't just us suffering from terrible service but other tables around us as well. Only we were getting the worst "treatment" from all although the waitress knew it was his BD!!! I don't know how this place got a 5 star rating. Maybe it was good when it opened in 2006, but it's definitely TERRIBLE now! Save yourselves time and money and choose another place to eat.

I've been to Tabla in NYC, and the food at Junnoon is nowhere near as good or inventive as Tabla. I guess mentioning their slight association with Tabla works as a good marketing ploy, but for those who have actually been to Tabla it is just setting us up for a disappointing meal. The dining room is nice and the service is professional. The food is very overpriced. The $18 dollar lunch plate seems like a relative bargain, but the protein portions are tiny. For dinner, they charge you for everything (raita, chutney) despite the already high prices for the entrees. If the food was Tabla caliber, it may be worth it... too bad it's not.

First off, this is a beautiful restaurant. Lots of thought went into the design. The food is a delicious example of good east meets west fusion. Duck was perfectly cooked which is a rarity among asian restaurants. A little pricey, but well worth it for the total experience, though $2 for chutney and the pricey naan is a bit greedy. Pros: Ambience, Service, Food
