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.

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.

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.

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.

I was really excited to try this place, having passed it several times. It's spacious on the inside, and the atmosphere is nice- a good place to have a quiet discussion. I wasn't blown away by the food. It was good, not great. Just missing that "special something." I would go back given the convenience (not far from 280 or 101).

I love Indian food, curry, naan, and tandoori. While this place has very good service and environment, its food quality is below par.
