I have been eating at Tilak for years. So, at this point the staff and the whole team have become friends. However, I can still objectively that the food here is wonderful. Around the corner from the restaurant, my uncle and I run a bookstore and we are always delighted to be able to smell the cooking from across the street—scents of Nepal and India that suggest the cuisine that is as delicious as it is nourishing. I love the momos personally (vegetarian or chicken) but also the daal and the dishes with eggplant and of course their chicken tikka masala—a favorite. Come for the food but stay for the community and the wonderful people. PS—they also serve Taj Mahal beer—have a cold one

The food here was great, and our waiter was incredibly kind and friendly! We loved the lamb biryani, dahi puri chaat, and chicken saag—all were delicious. The medium spice level was quite mild, so if you enjoy heat, I’d recommend going for spicy. The only area for improvement was the sauce for the momo, which was ice cold

Tilak Indian/ Nepali Cuisine in Menlo Park is hands-down one of the best spots for Nepali and Indian food. The moment you walk in, it feels cozy and welcoming nice décor, chill atmosphere, and super friendly staff who actually seem happy you’re there. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, talk, and really enjoy your meal. The food is the real obsession-level part. Their momos are insanely good juicy, flavorful, and addictive. The Nepali dishes taste like real home cooking, and the Indian curries are rich, balanced, and never one-note. Fresh naan, generous portions, and fair prices seal the deal. Every time I leave Tilak, I’m full, satisfied, and already planning my next visit.

We stopped by this place recently and had such a great experience. The service was super quick, which I really appreciated, and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the tikka masala, chicken biryani, tandoori chicken, samosa chaat, and dahi puri and honestly, everything was packed with flavor. The chicken in both the tikka masala and biryani was juicy and tender, and the spices were spot on. One thing you have to try is their coconut naan! It's so soft, slightly sweet, and perfect for scooping up that tikka masala sauce. The samosa chaat and dahi puri were both fresh and full of flavor too, crispy, tangy, and just the right amount of spice. I finished off with a cup of chai, and it was warm, comforting, and a great way to end the meal. Definitely recommend if you're craving some good Indian/ Nepalese food with fast service!
