Was Frank A at Venus a mag?
Their vindaloo and tikka masala were really tasty, we loved their spice flavor combinations. We had the lamb versions, and the meat was tender, juicy, and succulent. It came with generous helpings of brown or basmati rice, and roasted broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and sweet yams. I would happily go back to this restaurant and try out their other dishes!

What Bolo B dislikes about Venus:
The space is charming--colorful and warm. There even semi-private booths in the back for slightly larger parties. But the food is entirely without flavor. There were four different things on my Indian Breakfast plate and not one was sufficiently seasoned, and no amount of added salt or pepper seemed to help.

We showed up for a late Sunday brunch. The service was a little slow, but it was Sunday, and we weren't in a hurry. The food was good enough, but I feel for me to get the authentic experience, I'll have to return for dinner and try the Indian food. Well, I returned, and I have to say brunch is not their thing. There are plenty of average brunch places you can go to in the East Bay and be completely satisfied. Anyone reviewing Venus as a brunch place is missing out on outstanding Indian cuisine. The food is excellent, and Deepak the same guy that served us brunch was also working the dinner shift when does this guy sleep?? Deepak is a great server and host, making everyone feel welcome. I'm not sure if he's part-owner of this place, but there's passion in his voice when he talks about the restaurant and its food; it's the voice of a representative, not a server. All of the food was delicious, but I particularly liked the gulab jamun for dessert; it was the best version of that dish I've ever had. I believe I found my Indian restaurant for the East Bay! BB
The brussels sprouts here are one of the best things I have ever eaten. Their naan is amazing too! I also really like the tamarind ribs that come with deviled eggs. The server (maybe it is the owner? who has served us both times we have eaten here is also very kind and helpful to help us decide what to order! I love this place. Great location to watch people and dogs pass by outside as you enjoy your dinner or lunch. 5 stars :

I had the biscuit off my friend's Country Breakfast and unfortunately it was dry (not served with any butter or jam. Potatoes were not cooked enough either. Breakfast for four people with one coffee, one tea, one juice and tip cost over$100.
We had a lovely date night here! The atmosphere is really nice and I love the new decorations. All the food we ordered was delicious! We had the coconut chicken curry dinner and the karahi chicken dinner! The chicken was juicy, the sauces were so flavorful, and the naan was fresh! Be prepared for large serving sizes for the dinner! My only recommendations for the restaurant would be for them to serve the water cold, and I also think they should play music from Indian as the background music.
Wasn't friendly lack warmth and personality.. we left after 3mins Places looked close we was the only guest which seem wire being Saturday..
