I was at Masala Jack’s on a late Saturday afternoon about 2 months ago and they did have dancers! Great fun!
Also, we arrived quite a bit early for dinner one time to find the doors locked. The owner ran out to let us in and started making us goodies until the chef arrived. Great customer service.
My college kids adore this place…

WTF?!?!?! I can’t believe they failed to mention Namaste, who in my opinion has some of the best Tikka, not to mention service in Sonoma County!!

Best Indian food, hands down, Mogul Mahal in Kuwait City, Kuwait. Yes, if I won the lottery I’d rent a jet and go there again just for their Indian food. I crave it still, and it’s been 10 years!

Bummer- I’m heartbroken to hear Taj has closed. Did you find out why?

Tip: Avoid the places that have belly dancing. About as ridiculous as an Italian or Chinese restaurant having belly dancing. Like Dan said, not Indian at all.
Also think Namaste in Petaluma (not on this Bite Club list) and Shangri-La (on list, near SSU) are tops in our area.

Namaste Cafe in Petaluma is real deal, excellent nan and authentic Nepalis dishes.

If I remember correctly the Sizzling Tandoor in Bridgehaven/Jenner uses the garbanzo flour as well for their pakora.

Yeti – hard to find and hidden away?!?!
What county do you live in. It’s on the very main street of Glen Ellen and most of the Sonoma Valley. Sheesh.

Taj in Windsor used garbanzo bean flour which is the authentic flour to use for several dishes. It is the only place that I found that used it for its vegetable pakhoras and for the crisp flatbread, which they would make special for me when I came for the buffet, since I am allergic to gluten. I am really sorry to see them close. Do you know any other restaurant that does this? Please remove the belly dancing column, and replace with whether they use authentic ghee, or whether they use garbanzo flour for any of their dishes.
Thanks
