Prabh Indian Kitchen — Restaurant in Mill Valley

My mother chose Prabh Indian Kitchen for her 68th birthday dinner celebration. She's originally from Fort Wayne, Indiana, but you'd never know it. The restaurant appears to have originally been a house–and it's charming AF. Inside, it's dimly lit with the warm, romantic glow of candles and decorative stringed lights. Fish and Vegetable Pakora was ordered for the table–both gluten free–and came with a trio of dipping sauces: tamarind/date, mint, and what they call "911" sauce, which wasn't that hot to me. The Pakora batter is deliciously seasoned with a satisfying crispity-crunch. I ordered the Goan Fish Curry (hot spiciness) and Mulligatawny Soup. The curry itself was very, very hot. I'm someone who always ordes my food with added heat and this had my mouth on fire with tears rolling down my cheeks. However, the flavor and perfectly cooked texture of the fish are undeniably good, very good. The soup is lentil-based with tiny "bits" of chicken. I didn't care for the taste or texture, but after adding some 911 sauce it was more palatable. My mother ordered the Butter Chicken–the scent of which should be made into a Glade plug-in or candle, it was so yummy and rich–and my father ordered the Lamb Vindaloo. The meat was tender and again, the flavor was complex, rich, and fragrant. My boyfriend ordered the Karahi Lamb (hot spiciness) but didn't experience the tears and flaming throat-on-fire that I did. The service was curteous, thoughtful, and kind. Overall, this Indian meal was the most delicious and delightful I've ever had. I recommend you treat yourself, especially this winter –prime...

We have been to this place once a few years ago after our hiking sessions in Mill Valley, looking forward to the good food. Unfortunately, our recent visit was terribly disappointing.

Firstly, the beverages were served late, despite our request to have them before the main course. The coffee was extremely weak, barely tasting like coffee, and the milk used was of low quality. The mango lassi was overly sour, almost undrinkable. It took a while before they could serve our main course and that after a couple of reminders.

As for the main course which was a few sabzi and naans, both the quality and quantity were not up to the mark, especially considering the prices. The mutter paneer tasted like it was mixed with tomato ketchup, which was quite off-putting. The kadai paneer lacked any salt, making it bland. The only dish that was somewhat decent was the dal makhani, but it was not enough to make up for the shortcomings of the other dishes.

Overall, this experience was very disappointing compared to our previous visit. We hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves the quality of their food...

Tried this place on my way back from Santa Rosa , beautiful location in the hilly Mill Valley , with very limited parking space , first I thought it was a North Indian restaurant but after eating there I can surely say that the chef isn’t North Indian . The place was quite clean including the restroom. Food was average , slightly overpriced for the small portion size , ordered paneer tikka , it was ok , chutney came in a really tiny container. Their Daal makhani and Kadhai paneer were okay but not authentic , aloo paratha had turmeric in it and the basil garlic naan looked more like a tandoori roti with a sprinkle of basil herb not the fresh basil …. The masala chai was not fully cooked and was so bad for 4$ per cup …. The worst thing was he gave us basmati rice which were not fully cooked , we thought it was complimentary but later saw that he charged us for it , he also charged us for the onions and green chillies which is complimentary at most places … and they took a long time to bring in the food …. Don’t think I ll be ever...
