Noise level is important to me as I'm fairly deaf. At Ajanta, I always help finding a table that is most likely to be quiet. It's hard to express how much I appreciate this. Staff are friendly, courteous and accommodating. And of course the food is always wonderful! This is by far my favorite restaurant in the East Bay.
Simply the best Indian food in the bay.
My family and I have been to AJANTA perhaps 15 x's the past few decades, but this was the first time the past five years with pandemic and more... COVID has clearly impacted all restaurants... However the welcome greeting, table waitstaff services from start to finish.. the overall quality of food... cleanliness of the restaurant, utensils, and restrooms etc... continues to be 4.5 to 5 star! My only complaint is that the: COOK BOOK and the SPICE BOX is not available LOL ... since it was the previous owner/chef's proprietary property. It's time to support fine local restaurants again like: AJANTA and local N. Berkeley/Albany establishments again! We will definitely be back to AJANTA.. we still enjoy eating the> Samosa, garlic naan, lamb chops, and soup!
Fantastic meals. They were super friendly and accommodated a last minute change in party size.
Wonderful meal, and friendly attentive staff! Delicious skillfully crafted food. Good wine selection. Ate every bite. Only disappointment was the they seem to be cranking out the pick-up/delivery meals, and thus the restaurant dining was nearly empty, no table linens, etc. It felt a bit post-Covid apocalyptic. Looking forward to the return of a romantic indoor dining experience. The meal was excellent though. Would order for pickup anytime.
Very friendly family feeling staff. Food was excellent and a good value - waiter recommended an excellent entree (Laal Masala Murgi). Casual atmosphere made for a great dinner - the neighborhood is great too. Parked right in front of restaurant
My regular favorite restaurant all around. The food is magnificent! Lovely atmosphere with courteous and attentive staff. I love this place!
Ajanta continues to shine as our favorite neighborhood restaurant. The food is excellent and they use only organic, premium quality ingredients. The Tandori lamb chops are still my all time favorite.
Great options for vegetarians. Slightly fewer for vegans but it was delicious
I love Ajanta, from the super friendly staff to the wonderful food. I’ve gone many times and certainly plan to return.
