Methi Walnut Creek

The lunch buffet is reasonably priced and kids under 12 are 1/2 off. The music sets the mood and doesn’t interfere with conversation. The decor is tastefully done. The marigold canopy is a show stopper and also dampens any dining room clatter or reverberation. Perfect for a casual date or meal with the in-laws.

Methi located at Walnut Creek California is a popular restaurant serving varied types of Indian cuisine. We went there as a group of family and friends on a weekend for dinner. We ordered Vegetable Pakora, Paneer Pakora, Pani Poori, Hot Tea, Mango Lassi, Dosa, Idly, Dal Tadka, Dal Makhni, Chicken Masala, Fish Curry, Chana Bhatura, Naan and Tandoori Roti. The dishes were fresh with good helpings but average. Their ambiance and decor are unique. The staff are helpful and good.

Provided 4 stars for overall experience, great service & atmosphere. Ambiance is pretty decent. Food: Butter Roti & Naans are very big size as it should be. 5 stars for size and quality of breads. Daal Makhani - great tasting. Malai Kofta - not creamy (which it should be and we asked for it) but overall taste was not of our liking. There were only 3 kofta in entire dish. Shahi Paneer - creamy and not spicy at all. Best thing I like in shahi paneer was the paneer cubes were small diced as compared to other places with huge chunks. Gobi Manchurian (Appetizer): very very sweet and there were only 4 Manchurian balls rest of it was gravy. Samosa Chaat (Appetizer): samosas were tasty but dry and the chaat was missing one of the main ingredients (sweet yogurt). Chole was ok tasting per our

I had the lamb vindaloo and shrimp korma because I was in the mood for something new. Beautiful atmosphere and excellent service. Food is overpriced (around $20 per dish), portions are very small (small bowl, about 1 cup). The food is also very fresh and so many flavorful herbs. However, the dishes lack salt. Although the herbs are flavorful, the lack of salt makes the food plain. I added so much salt to both the lamb and shrimp korma and it still wasn’t salty enough! The meat and potatoes are particularly plain as they take time to absorb salt.

Ok I don’t think I’ve ever written a review while I’m eating. Moment I walked in I was greeted warmly and seated. Was shown lunch specials and asked if it was my first time in. Food came fast and is aweeesome. Great deal for the lunch special. I’ll definitely have leftovers. And it’s gorgeous in here. Can’t wait to come back and support.
