A great romantic dinner is about more than just food; it’s about a shared sensory experience. At Desi Dhaba, the glow of the tandoor and the aroma of freshly ground cardamom set the stage for a night that stands out. If you’re tired of the same old bistros, a North Indian feast is the perfect way to spice up your date night.
Romantic Indian Dinner Sunnyvale – A Shared Feast for Two
Authentic Indian dining is communal by nature. Our menu on N Mary Ave encourages couples to step away from “individual plates” and instead share a variety of bold, complex flavors.
- Sizzling Tandoori Platter: Nothing says “dinner is served” like the hiss of a hot iron platter. Our mixed grill features succulent kebabs charred in our clay oven, designed for sharing.
- Lamb Seekh Kabab: For those who prefer the sear of the tandoor, our Lamb Seekh Kababs are prepared with lean ground lamb, infused with herbs and skewered for a smoky, charred finish.
