Pippal - Dublin

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 be

We dined here on a weeknight and the restaurant was bustling with people by 7pm. The hostess and the host , Apoorva , were very welcoming and situated us at a table in less than 5 minutes. The ambience was very contemporary and chic , perfect for date nights and family gatherings. Very kid friendly too. The waiter was very helpful and gave us recommendations on entree -bread pairings . Our specialty cocktails (Kashmiri Barrack and another spice based one) were top notch . Kashmiri salad was very average as flavors didn’t come together. The chakri paneer made up for it , very flavorful and burst with flavors . We had daal jhakiya with beet roti and maki ki roti , 10/10 in all , good quality, non greasy fresh food . The daal was the best ever .Indori pulao was perfectly cooked and seasoned.

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:

Went in with set expectations and were not disappointed at all. Pippal’s pretentious entry into the Indian fine dining scene in East Bay was much needed for the neighbourhood food bougie. This hip new place has quickly become a must go to savor well chosen dishes from all parts of India. The eclectic menu includes many hidden gems like patthar k kebab, litti chhoka, Laal maas and Payasam covering 4 corners of the country. Each dish is a gastronomical delight and their presentation and taste is incomparable to anything nearby. This restaurant replaces coco cabana which was here previously. The ambiance is chic and the seating arrangement is bit crowded with patrons staring at food on other tables while their’s arrives. Service is a tad slow because each dish is a unique presentation and tak

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.
