Was JaneDough at The Third Eye a mag?
Enjoyed dinner here. Staff was friendly and professional. Food was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Cocktail menu could use an overhaul and be a little more upscale and creative to match the food. The bar and dining room are far enough apart that it's not disruptive in any way. Will be back to try more of the abundant and varied menu. View all feedback.
What francesca coppa dislikes about The Third Eye:
We dined here based on previous reviews. It was a Sunday evening and virtually empty. We were told it was the end of happy hour so I ordered a rum and tonic; couldn't drink it as the tonic was flat. We ordered a braised lamb shank, lamb saag, and eggplant in tomato sauce. The eggplant was good, the saag was just ok, not very flavorful. The lamb shank was a real disappointment; it should have been falling off the bone... View all feedback.

Very Good Food, mediocre service
We dined here based on previous reviews. It was a Sunday evening and virtually empty. We were told it was the end of happy hour so I ordered a rum and tonic; couldn't drink it as the tonic was flat. We ordered a braised lamb shank, lamb saag, and eggplant in tomato sauce. The eggplant was good, the saag was just ok, not very flavorful. The lamb shank was a real disappointment; it should have been falling off the bone and instead it was very tough, we sort of had to hack it off the bone. When we mentioned this to the server he looked completely shocked, muttered something and then disappeared. We never saw him again. The accompaniments were basmati rice and naan. The naan was good but the rice was dry as dust. I would say this restaurant has been overrated. We would not come back.
Recently we were looking for a place to meet our son for dinner. I checked out Millbrae as it was about halfway between where we each live. We all love Indian food and the Himalayan twist was a nice surprise. The food was delicious, the staff very friendly and even the chairs were comfortable! From the standard chicken tikka masala to the goat curry everything was amazing. Our waiter was great about suggesting new items to try and there wasn't a bad choice among our dishes. Get several items and share for the full experience.
We went to the Third Eye because it was near the hotel where we were staying, and we love Indian food. We were extremely pleasantly surprised. The food was great; the portions, generous; and the servers were friendly, helpful and efficient. The decor isn't the high point, but with food and service this good, who cares? Great place! I would definitely go again.

Beautiful eating and best Indians in the cities around!
I ate here in the evening. the personal was friendly and professional. Eat was tasteful and perfectly cooked. Cocktail menu could be a overhaul and a little raised and creatiw to fit the food. the bar and the dining room are far enough apart that it is not wisely disturbing. will be back to try more of the rich and varied menus.
We have been dining here on the basis of previous reviews. it was a Sunday night and practically empty. we said that it was the end of the happy hour, so I ordered one and tonic; could not drink it, because the tonic was flat. we ordered a braided lamb, lambsaag and aubergine in tomato sauce. the aubergine was good, the saag was just ok, not very tasteful. the Lamb was a real disappointment; it should have been liked by the bone and instead it was very hard, we had to hack it somehow from the bone. when we mentioned this on the server, he looked completely shocked, murmured and disappeared. we never saw him again. the commands were basmati reis and naan. the naan was good, but the rice was dry like dust. I would say this restaurant was overrated. we wouldn't come back.

If you're craving Indian food and you're near Millbrae, try out Thurd Eye. I had a coupon from Valpak for 15% dinner bill. They have happy hour from 4-7 on weekdays, I think. The restaurant itself is pretty big, with the bar area separate from dining area. Food was flavorful and delicious. Ambience was nice, as well. We saw a good number of families eating there on a Tuesday night, some couples as well. Will most likely return.
