We had the best experience at Pippal Dublin! The restaurant is absolutely stunning — every detail is so elegant and thoughtfully designed, from the décor to the servers’ outfits. You can tell a lot of love went into creating this place.
Chef Munish Rana is incredibly talented. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor — you can truly taste the passion and creativity in his cooking. The menu celebrates the amazing diversity of Indian cuisine, but with a modern twist that feels fresh and elevated (and it’s all made with California’s best local ingredients).
It’s the perfect spot for a date night, celebration, or a special dinner out with family or friends. The atmosphere is warm, upscale, and welcoming — exactly what Dublin needed!
If you’re looking for the best Indian restaurant in the Tri-Valley, Pippal Dublin should be at the top of your list. Can’t wait to come back!

Pippal is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The food is absolutely outstanding,easily some of the best flavors and execution I’ve tasted recently. Every dish was prepared with care, beautifully presented, and truly a 10/10.
The vibe of the restaurant is amazing. From the moment you walk in, the elegance and interior design make it feel like one of the top-end restaurants in the area. It’s classy, modern, and welcoming all at once.
Service was excellent across the board—from the front-of-house staff to the kitchen team. Attentive, professional, and genuinely warm.
Between the food, service, ambiance, and presentation, Pippal delivers a perfect experience in every aspect. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be coming back!!

After years of searching for authentic Kashmiri Gustaba in the Bay Area, I finally followed a lead to this stunning Dublin eatery. While the interiors are undeniably fancy and the service for our group of 5 was seamless, the food journey was a bit of a rollercoaster.
The Highlights:
Pathar ka Kabab (Lucknowi): A standout. Aromatic, tender, and deeply flavorful.
Chicken Tikka Trio: Each piece had a distinct, well-marinated personality.
Naga Chicken Curry: Unexpectedly great. The infusion of lemongrass and curry leaves was unique and paired perfectly with the Lachha Paratha.
Lucknowi Chicken Biryani: A surprise presentation with a whole chicken! The rice was subtle, smooth, and the addition of craisins added a nice modern touch. Quantity was enough for at least 2 persons.
Veg Manchow Soup: This was a polarizing dish. It was heavy on the spices and sauces, deviating quite a bit from the traditional Indo-Chinese profile. In our group of five, three enjoyed the bold punch, while two found it a bit too intense.
The Letdowns:
The Gustaba Quest: Unfortunately, the search continues. Instead of the traditional, velvety meatballs made from finely pounded mutton and fat, this was more of a ground meat “mound”(check photo). It lacked the authentic texture I’ve had in Kashmir. It’s a decent dish if you don’t call it Gustaba, but for a purist, it misses the mark.
Malai Kofta: Overpowered by cardamom to the point of being inedible. However, the manager was very gracious, took our feedback seriously, and handled it well.
At $60/head (no alcohol and including a mandatory 20% gratuity), it’s a “splurge” meal. Come for the ambiance and the Naga curry, but Kashmiri traditionalists might want to keep their expectations in check.
The ambiance is top-tier and some dishes really shine, but for me to come back to this restaurant, I think I need a bit of convincing (or a friend’s treat). Ill surely update if i come back here.

Had a fantastic experience at Pippal. We’ve been to the Emeryville location before, but this one is closer to home and just as good. We came here to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and everything hit the mark.
Even on a packed weekend night, service was smooth (reservation helped). Cocktails were excellent, food was flavorful, and the hospitality really stood out. One of the owners stopped by to check on us and surprised us with a complimentary dessert, their take on payasam, which was absolutely delicious with great play of textures.
Standouts: Gurgaon Border & Hawa Mahal cocktails, Arbi Kabab, Andhra Fried Chicken, East India Butter Chicken.
Himalayan Junglee Mushrooms were fine, just not a standout.
Warm service, great drinks, and memorable food. We’ll definitely be back.

Pippal Dublin is a refreshing addition to the Tri-valley dining scene. Its menu is a curated compilation of the best dishes from each region of India and it is well executed. We tried the Arbi Kebab and the Kolkata Fish cutlet for starters. Both were delicious. For the mains we ordered the Laal Maas, the Sarson ka Saag and the Bhopali pulao. The meat in the Laal Maas was cooked to perfection with the meat sliding off the bone. The Saag was delicately spiced and tasty. Although the Makai ki roti ( traditional accompaniment to Sarson ka saag) was not on the menu, they offered to make it for us. The prices for the dishes are steep but competitive with similar upscale Indian restaurants. My main complaint would be the rotis/ breads priced at $8 a piece which is exorbitant IMHO.
The decor in muted shades is elegant and the tables spaced conveniently apart make for good conversations without neighboring diners inadvertently eavesdropping on your discussions .
The service left a lot to be desired. Our wine order was messed up and we were served a much higher priced wine than the one we ordered. We did not bring it up to them so maybe they would have fixed that. Also for this upscale a restaurant I would expect the server to box the leftovers for us. To be fair , the restaurant has been open for only two weeks now and we were informed that our server was in training. My critique is more so that they improve their service by the time we are back as we will definitely be back for the delicious food.

Pipal – Dublin, CA
The food at Pipal was incredible and delicious. The table-side chaat experience was unique and imaginative, and honestly a highlight of the meal. Everything we ordered was really, really good — especially the dessert, which stood out the most. From a food perspective alone, I would give this place a 9/10.
Unfortunately, the service and overall professionalism completely undermined what could have been a great experience.
Our waiter was initially great. When it came time to pay, he asked if I wanted to pay by card and whether it was okay for him to bring the card reader to the table, which I agreed to. The original bill was $131.89 plus tax and tip, but when he ran my card, he entered $149 plus tax, and I then added an 18% tip on top of that. I was confused but didn’t push back because the food and service had been good.
After we left, my wife realized we had been charged more than the original bill. I chose not to go back in, assuming mistakes happen and that it would work itself out.
Later that same day, the restaurant called my wife accusing us of not paying for our meal. I already had a pending charge on my Chase card, so I knew we had paid. I spoke directly to the waiter, explained the situation, and he said, “Oh yeah, now I remember,” and apologized for bothering us. They had called using the phone number we provided through OpenTable.
Despite this, the restaurant proceeded to call my wife 2–3 more times over the next two days, continuing to accuse us of not paying. I finally answered and explained — again — that not only did we pay, but we were actually charged more than our bill, and I didn’t dispute it. I told them I had a confirmed credit card transaction from Pipal for $173.66 and asked them to never contact us again.
The woman on the phone was rude, dismissive, and continued to accuse us of not paying despite clear proof.
This was one of the most unprofessional situations I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant. We were overcharged, still left an 18% tip, and then were repeatedly harassed and accused of not paying for a meal we clearly paid for.
Amazing food — but the handling of payment and customer service was unacceptable.
I will never come here again!

I stopped by Pippal in Dublin for lunch and had an amazing experience. My wife and I ordered a few drinks, appetizers, and main courses, and everything was delicious. The live chaat was a total standout! So fresh, fun, and bursting with flavor! The butter chicken was incredibly rich and creamy, and the naan had the perfect crisp.
Great food, great vibe, and great service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Pippal in Dublin is hands-down one of the best upscale Indian spots around—gorgeous vibe, killer cocktails, and flavors that actually deliver.
The Laal Maas was straight-up awesome (tender, perfectly spiced goat that fell off the bone), and the Daulat ki Chaat was amazing—light, fluffy, and such a fun Delhi-style dessert surprise.
Shoutout to Harsh for the exceptional service and to Apurva who kept checking in, genuinely asked for feedback, and offered great suggestions—made the whole night feel special

I recently visited Pipal Dublin, and it was easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The food was absolutely outstanding — every single dish was packed with flavour and cooked to perfection.
I started with the Taj Mahal cocktail, a delicious rum-based drink that was perfectly balanced and refreshing. From there, the dishes just kept impressing me. The Lamb Burrah Kebab was tender and full of rich spices, the Pathar ke Kebab had an amazing smoky, melt-in-your-mouth quality, and the Prawn Pepper Fry delivered the perfect hit of spice. The Chicken Tikka Trio was another highlight, offering different flavours that showed off the kitchen’s skill and creativity.
And honestly, there was so much more to enjoy — every single item we ordered was exceptional. The quality of the food, the flavours, and the overall experience make Pipal Dublin a place I can’t recommend highly enough.
If you’re looking for incredible Indian cuisine with thoughtful cocktails and top-tier dishes, Pipal Dublin should be at the top of your list.

Very well curated menu, great ambience, Amazing food and even better plating and presentation. Not your run of the mill indian place dishing out Garlic naan and chicken tikka masala. Blown away with their live chaat, unique Indian twist to mundane cocktails, and the assortment of desserts.. This is the Indian place for special occasions.
