- OOliviaGoldSan Francisco Bay Area •23 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI came with a group of girlfriends for our second year to celebrate Diwali at Ettan. Food and presentation were even better this year than last. It was a beautifully crafted and delicious set meal. Our group ordered the vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The sesame leaf and lamb kofti were the standouts on the non-veg offering, and the squash cutlet and paneer were the standouts on the veg offering. We already look forward to next year's celebration. The absolute standout though was the saffron ricotta dessert topped with pistachio ice cream - complex and unique flavors and so beautifully presented. I compared offerings for Diwali from various restaurants and chose Ettan. We're so glad as it was a satisfying meal with a convivial atmosphere. I should note that we were seated in the patio. I initially thought sitting indoors in the beautiful space would have been better, but we ended up preferring the patio as the music indoors was too loud for us and it would have been hard to hold a conversation.More infoEttan - Palo Alto$$$$• Indian• Palo Alto•4.4
