From the same people that brought you Ettan, this place is another fantastic restaurant. The interiors are beautiful, there is covered parking in the building, and the service was great.
The drink was pretty good and stiff. I had the fried chicken as an appetizer and was sold – it looked simple but the taste was fantastic – and the aioli went well with it.
The lamb chops were succulent, with a good portion of ghee rice (ney choru) that reminded me of fresh home made ghee rice.
The frozen Shrikand was sweet but ok otherwise – because the freezing took away from both the taste and joy of eating soft Shrikand.
Fantastic experience overall.

This Michelin-star restaurant is truly worth the visit and delivers an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance is perfectly curated, with beautiful décor that feels elegant yet welcoming, making it ideal for both intimate dinners and special celebrations. Every detail of the space adds to the overall charm and sets the tone for a memorable meal.
The food is outstanding, with each dish thoughtfully crafted and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the desserts, everything is packed with flavor and executed to perfection. The appetizers are delicious and set the stage for what’s to come, while the main courses are rich, balanced, and deeply satisfying. The desserts are equally impressive—mouthwatering, refined, and a perfect way to end the meal.
What truly stands out is the consistency in quality across the entire menu. Every plate looks like a work of art and tastes just as amazing, reflecting the care and creativity behind each preparation. This restaurant is truly a gem in the Bay Area and lives up to its Michelin recognition. It’s a must-visit spot, especially if you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to treat yourself to an elevated and unforgettable dining experience.

Excellent spot for a relaxed yet elevated dining experience. The space is warm and inviting, making it great for both a casual night out and a special occasion.
The branzino was generous enough for two people and arrived beautifully presented without the main bone, though there were still quite a few smaller bones left, so it’s something to be mindful of while eating. The lamb chops came as two pieces, which made them perfect for sharing and nicely portioned. The snack dishes are very small but flavorful and meant to be shared; the standout was the raw fish dish, similar to a ceviche, which was fresh, bright, and especially tasty.
Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience felt comfortable and well-paced. Eylan is a solid addition to Menlo Park’s dining scene and worth visiting if you enjoy thoughtfully prepared dishes in a stylish, welcoming setting.

Went here for a special dinner date and had booked in advance. There is ample parking and the ambience is dark and chic. However, the tables are so close to one another that I could hear everything the other tables were saying. It was loud and not an intimate vibe…
The server was cordial not warm. He explained the dishes as they were bought….
Cocktails were okayish for $20….they were average for an upscale restaurant.
We started off with Taro root chat and the puchkas – really good…the chef elevated the dishes with taste as well. The crab bread was a let down. The canbage dish was highly rated but I personally did not like it. I think paneer, mushroom, or any meat would have been much better instead of that. We really wanted to try lamb chops but they were crazy expensive to experiment with…
The gulf shrimps were decent and chicken anar was juicy.
We ordered the frozen shrikhand and that was good….not sure about other desserts.
Might come back maybe once to splurge but not on my fav list.
Food – 7/10
Ambience – 9/10
Drinks. – 8/10

Eylan is a total stunner—the decor is beautiful and sets the perfect vibe for a high-end night out. It’s definitely a fine-dining experience on the pricier side, but the service makes it feel worth it. The servers were incredibly welcoming and took the time to explain the nuances of each dish, which really added to the meal.
The food itself is where things get really interesting. Their take on vegetarian Indian cuisine is a major departure from what you’ll find at almost any other spot; it’s the kind of creative approach that people will either absolutely love or find a bit polarizing, but it’s undeniably unique. The Bellwether Farm ricotta dish was a standout—essentially a “dahi ke kebab” reimagined with ricotta—and the taro root chaat was lovely. While the flaxseed poe itself was just okay, the eggplant choka served with it was “too good,” and the squash blossom was absolutely amazing.
To round out the meal, the rumali roti and kulcha were both solid, though the hispi cabbage was just okay for me. Even with a few hits and misses on the specific textures, the flavors were consistently tasty and thought-provoking. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something more adventurous than normal indian restaurants.

Such a feast for eyes and mouth! So delicate, fresh and very comforting food. We were there to celebrate a birthday, it will be very memorable. The service is very courteous, friendly and helpful. We had Ayesha for our table and she was amazing suggesting vegetarian option for us and our special needs child for whom we prefer soft and gluten free food. 3 of us went with the vegetarian tasting menu which was a perfect choice. We had requested for no mushroom and alcohol and the replacement pineapple grilled in ghee with chilly powder was surprisingly delicious as we don’t like sweet entrees. Each and every dish was perfectly seasoned/spiced almost like they knew what we like
We booked through open table and it said a standard table which we mistook for indoor seating. It just means it’s a table for four, so if you want to be seated indoors call the restaurant. Patio seating is good but it felt cold on a rainy night even with the heaters. There is plenty parking in the basement.

Lovely ambiance and excellent service. The food was very good, though I have a couple of minor suggestions. It would be great to see a few more subtle cocktail options, as some of the existing drinks have quite bold spice profiles that can sometimes clash with other flavors. Also, adding one or two more vegetarian options to the large plates would be appreciated.

Went to Eylan three times, so finally writing this. It’s a Michelin Guide spot and overall a very solid place. The menu is creative and you can feel the “chef touch” in most dishes. 
Appetizers are the move here.
• Chaas Puchkas were tasty, just don’t go in expecting classic puchkas. It’s different, but I liked it.
• Taro root chaat was also good, and I appreciated the server asking if we wanted 4 pieces since it comes with 2 by default.
• Fried chicken with spicy aioli is the star dish for me. I’ve honestly never had fried chicken like this. I went back twice mainly because of this one dish.
Some misses for me:
• Crab Mutbar was average, nothing stood out. I’d skip.
• Flaked poee also felt average. The spinach avocado dip is a different touch, but still not memorable.
• Butter chicken was average here (not the thing to order).
Mains:
I’d honestly skip mains unless you’re super hungry. We tried hispi cabbage and it was average. Roasted Cornish hen and chicken yakhani were tasty if you like chicken dishes. Charred black cod was the weakest for me: average taste and very small portion.
Dessert:
• Indian milk cake ice cream was tasty.
• Eylan Celebration Treat was a bit too dark and had a cinnamon note I didn’t love. If you’re getting both, eat this one first, then the milk cake ice cream.
Service is nice and they explain each dish well, but it can be slow when they’re busy. Ambience is well done with dim lights, but it can get very noisy and tables are tight. Still a great spot for family, friends, or even an office dinner.
