I 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.

Very special take on Indian cooking. Flavors remain within the range accepted as Indian, but with quite unique perspectives. Really wonderful. Excellent service and nice setting.

Really enjoyed the meal. Vegetarian was good, was nice to see different recipes that what we see at other Indian restaurants. The Tandoori Paneer and the Chole Bhatura were our favorites, but to be honest we like everything we ordered.

    The folks at Favorite make a real effort to let you taste an overview of Indian cuisine. From the tandoori chicken and palak paneer (spinach with homemade cheese) to fhe gulab jamun and gajar halwa (desserts), the food preparation and flavor is excellent. The food is not overly spicey, and they keep the buffet well stocked. They even have cones for their mango ice cream (kid friendly). Give Favorite a try (especially on their weekend buffet). They're sure to become a favorite with you too.
