Dishes notable for their careful preparation and expertly balanced seasoning…
Dishes are in tune with Northern California palates, thanks to the careful execution of the chef… what really gets my taste buds going is the wealth of vegetarian dishes that, to my mind, are the glory of Indian cuisine… blends sweet, savory and hauntingly smoky flavors and is absolutely impossible to stop eating… I’ve certainly acquired a taste for Lotus!

The food at Lotus is simply wonderful.
It shines with clean, bright flavors… a generous selection of sauces and condiments that add layers of flavor and/or heat to any of the dishes…How can something as humble and unassuming as a lentil taste so good? …Kashimi pilau was light, tender, and seductively aromatic… Vegetable curry that practically made us swoon… Service was very attentive throughout our meal.

Lotus is full of warmth and welcoming hospitality…
Lotus’ lengthy menu offers more than three dozen curries…Tandoori selections – meats and seafood cooked in a clay pit oven – come to the table sizzling and steaming on hot cast-iron platters…delectable deserts…the sort of thing that is so good, I find myself thinking about it in the middle of the night.
