best indian restaurant of bay area. i am not a huge fan of indian food, but i have to say that sakoon has won me over! after dining there last night, i can say that it is, without a doubt, the best indian restaurant that i have ever dined in! although i also love amber india, sakoon is probably a notch above in terms of ambiance, food, and service. it may have helped that we were some of the first diners to arrive last night, but the waiters and management made us feel like we were celebrities! first the manager came over to talk to us, and then she brought the owner over! the waiter was very attentive, but not hovering.
menu items
1.samosa. ( 2 thumbs up! 10 out of 10)
2. scallops ( 2 thumbs up! 10 out of 10) all the flavors are just perfect in your mouth!
3. paneer kundan kalai ( i give it 8/10) it was good, but i thought it could be a bit spicer.
buffett items
1.kashmiri roganjosh ( 2 thumbs up! 10/10) nice chunkey pieces of meat cooked to perfect tenderness melting in your mouth! mmmm
2. peppered fish curry (11 out of 10 on this one!) i loved this one. nice tender pieces of fish mixed in pepper and indian masala with hints of coconut milk in it. this dish wentgreatwith the coconut rice!!
3. coconut rice (11 out of 10) goes we'll with almost everything!
4. raita (12 out of 10) lets just say i never had grapes mixed in with raita. oh my god, i love yogurt, and this dish i can eat all day. just give me the coconut rice or their naan and i will just sit there and enjoy eating something as simple as this. wow!
5. naan (9/10) not bad soft and chewy.
6. pani puri (7/10) big fan of it, but they are okay on it! still a hell of a deal in this buffect.
dessert from buffett.
you do have alot to choose from.
i had the gulab jamun and the rice semia
1. gulab jamun 10/10 just melts in your mouth and not over sweet.
2. rice semia. looks like pearl bubbles in this dish. but the texture is very soft and this is a very refreshing dish, and also not too sweet, but just right.
in all i ate alot today. i don't feel sick. i feel happy. the buffett costed us $21 bucks each. and about 35 bucks for the other items. with tip and everything on this father's day i spent just $100.00 for all this lovely food. it was an awesome deal. i found the website and i want to go back and try all the food on this menu. very exotic types of dishes. different from your gaylord's and amber's. shiva's across the street doesn't even compare.
