Don’t remember if I’ve written about Junoon – by far my favorite special occasion restaurant on the peninsula!
Excellent food, eclectic menu – they change it 4-5 times a year, so you get seasonal flavors. Their virgin drinks are *very* good.
Entrees can get expensive, so the trick is to order the sides as they are quite filling and more reasonably priced. They’ll make their kaathi-roll without egg (highly recommended!) and have interesting raita flavors – avocado, spinach, apple & walnut. The bakaharkhani bread is worth a try as well.
The one downside is that the service can be spotty at times. They are busy 7 days a week, so reservations are recommended.
Its in downtown Palo Alto, at the corner of University and High.
Junoon is definitely good, but I personally prefer Mantra any day. They have better veggie options, great desserts and awesome live music sometimes
GO TO CHAT PARADISE!!! 🙂
We want to check out this place. We haven’t heard good things about service.
Mantra was also voted the best place for ‘singles dining’ on the peninsula 🙂
Deep,
Looking forward to an invitation for an occasion to dine @Junoon 🙂
