I went here for my friends' baby shower last weekend. We ate in the party hall/private space upstairs. There was an exquisite buffet with plenty of food. Everything I had tasted authentic, and good. It was very flavorful. The soy malai kofta and the pani puri were my favorites. They have a vegan biryani with jackfruit. It was also very flavorful. I will be back, loved this place!

We hosted an event recently at Pippali and received personalized attention every step of the way. The owner and his staff are friendly, accommodating and communicative. The food at the event was exceptional and the variety of options we received was remarkable. Would highly recommend Pippali for anyone planning a gathering!

Came here for a lunch birthday celebration. Service and food were great! We were very happy with the everything we ordered, especially the lamb biryani. Lunch thali was a hit too.

We had a party of 30 people. The staff went above and behind. The appetizers were brilliant- lamb chops, tandoori chicken, kebabs and paneer were fresh and hot and brought out in demand readily. The main dishes were also very flavourful. They replaced the fish curry with the shrimp curry and this was a hit. There was a fine selection of all the bar drinks with no hesitation of limiting the type of drink available. Overall Dinesh and his team at Pippli catered to us and we thank him for his patienceVegetarian options: Excellent tasting options. We choose the paneer option and two dhals(lentils). None were floating in oil and none were to heavy to digest- perfectly spicedDietary restrictions: We had people with true celiac(gluten). They worked with us, especially Dinesh, to ensure that there was no hidden gluten in the food. The individuals avoided the Naans/rotis which were made in a separate Tandoor to avoid cross contaminationKid-friendliness: Accommodated all the kids numbering 6.

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile, so I finally went with a friend for dinner. The interior was simple, but nice, complete with white table cloths. There was a calm, peaceful ambiance. Of course I ordered the Mango Lassi, which was refreshing, sweet, and creamy. In terms of food, my friend and I shared the Mixed Grill ($35), Shrimp served with Coconut Rice ($33), as well as Garlic Naan ($6). The Mixed Grill consisted of Lamb Chops, Salmon, Ground Lamb, Tandoori Chicken, and Chicken Chop. All of the meat was perfectly charred, slightly crispy, delightfully tender, and wonderfully well seasoned with bold spices. The Garlic Naan was buttery with plenty of pieces of garlic, making it have a strong taste of it. I wasn't a huge fan of the Jhinga, which were shrimps in mustard seeds, curry leafs and coconut milk, but the accompanying coconut rice was aromatic and cooked well. Service was good. Prices were mid range. I would love to return to try the Kerala Moilee (Fish) Weekend Lunch Thali.

This place is amazing. Everything I have eaten there is delicious, malai kofta, chana saag, tandoori chicken, tikka masala. I was talking about the samosas for days afterwards. My kiddo who doesn't even like Indian food, asked to go back there when we were in the neighborhood a week after we went there the first time. I wouldn't hesitate to go back again and again.

Absolutely delicious Indian food. Attentive service and quiet atmosphere. I had the lamb curry and I'm still thinking about how perfect the spices and sauces were. Highly recommend

The food was okay but lacked depth and didn't have much flavor. When we were offered to have our food boxed, they didn't give us back everything we had ordered and gave us each the wrong bagged entrees. I feel ripped off and don't plan on returning.

Small cozy restaurant. Full bar and good selection of cocktails. Chose the Smoky Delhi and the Punch. The Smokey Delhi was really smokey so if you like that it’s a good choice. The rum punch was flavorful but not overly sweet which was good. The food was amazing. Some of the best Indian food we’ve ever had. Highly recommend the aloo samosa chat. If you like samosa (which I do) it was a great way to have them but in a different form. Full of chickpeas with pomegranate to add some sweetness topped with yogurt sauce. I could have eaten more as an entree and left with a smoke on my face. We also had the chilli paneer. It was also outstanding. The peppers in the fish were a tasty compliment. For the main course we had the chicken tikki masala. Also very good. We did not specify a heat level and wasn’t asked but would have liked the tiki masala to have been a bit spicier. We dined in but there weren’t many customers in the restaurant, however, there seemed to be an abundance of take out orders while we were there. Staff was attentive and friendly.
