Best Authentic Restaurants in Milpitas

I meet my daughters and friend every year for Thanksgiving brunch at El Torito's in Milpitas. We almost always get great service. This year the restaurant staff did an excellent job serving us. The waitress was on top of keeping our water glasses filled and our table supplied with napkins. They made us feel welcomed and they took great care of us while we were there.

Pretty chill for a Saturday night. Service took a minute initially but once our server finally showed up everything was good

The service was exceptional. The food & drinks with excellent. I would recommend, whether you’re looking for a date night out or a nice family outing.

We initially booked a table for two, but two of our colleagues joined us later, making it a party of four. I must say, this place is phenomenal! We got there by 4:30, and the place was already quite crowded. This was my first time visiting, and I actually found out about Jaks through Forbes magazine. The ambiance was fantastic—not like your typical Indian restaurant. It was clean, simple, and very well done. Honestly, you wouldn’t even guess it was an Indian restaurant at first glance because the decor was so modern and upscale. They have a full bar, and we enjoyed a couple of cocktails, which were amazing! We also tried four sharable plates, and every single one was interesting and unique. The chef’s signature dishes, especially the sea bass, lamb shank, and lamb chops, were absolutely stunning. The flavors were so authentic, and everything was cooked to perfection. The staff was very attentive, which made the whole experience even better. I heard from one of my colleagues that the menu changes every six months, which is pretty exciting. I’m already looking forward to trying their lunch menu next time. Overall, it’s a great place for dining—whether for a casual meal or something special. This was a wonderful experience, and I’ll definitely be back soon!

The food fanatics everything was super fresh and the staff was super friendly! I would definitely come back here again!
