Experience the Sophistication of Michelin-Inspired Indian Cuisine

KHAKI San Ramon: Bar & Canteen

Modern Indian Dining

Walking into KHAKI San Ramon is stepping into a dining room where Indian heritage meets modern sophistication. The buzz of the room, the clink of glasses, the glow of open kitchens, and the warmth of carefully layered spices create an atmosphere that feels alive. This isn’t just dinner. It’s an experience designed to be remembered.

The Evolution of Modern Indian Dining

Modern Indian dining is about respect for tradition, for ingredients, and for craft. At KHAKI, dishes draw from regional recipes and centuries-old techniques, reimagined with California’s produce and global precision. The result is food that feels rooted yet contemporary, familiar yet striking in its execution.

A Michelin-Inspired Approach

Sophistication here is not about complexity. It’s about restraint, balance, and clarity of flavor. A single spice is allowed to shine. A perfectly seared protein is paired with a sauce that lifts without overwhelming.

At KHAKI you’ll find:

• Slow-braised lamb, tender and finished with subtle acidity for balance.

• Paneer plated with precision, comforting at its core but presented with finesse.

• Vegetable-forward dishes that let turmeric, coriander, mustard seed, or chili speak for themselves.

It’s Indian food presented with the care and intention you’d expect from a chef-driven kitchen.

Lunch at KHAKI

KHAKI isn’t just an evening destination, it’s also one of San Ramon’s most distinctive lunch spots. Midday service highlights lighter plates and vibrant flavors, perfect for a quick business lunch, a relaxed midweek break, or a long afternoon with friends.

Favorites at lunch include:

• Street food–inspired plates that bring a burst of energy to the table.

• Seasonal thalis and bowls, balanced and satisfying without being heavy.

• Refreshing daytime cocktails and zero-proof options, built to pair with lunch dishes just as thoughtfully as the evening menu.

For guests who want modern Indian dining without the formality of dinner, lunch at KHAKI offers the same precision, flavor, and hospitality, just in a brighter, more casual rhythm.

Cocktails with Intention

The cocktail list at KHAKI is crafted with the same philosophy as the food; flavor first, balance always. A whisky sour kissed with cardamom smoke, a gin and tonic sharpened with black pepper, or a mango-forward cocktail built for California afternoons and evenings. Drinks here don’t sit on the sidelines, they complete the experience.
