San Jose Restaurant Guide - Sunnyvale, CA Restaurants

Sunnyvale's Murphy Street has become one of Silicon Valley's great restaurant rows. The diversity and quality of eateries all within walking distance make it a top stop. But that diversity and quality extends citywide with great Indian restaurants like Udupi Palace, Japanese pub food at Saizo and even a great bakery at Sugar Butter Flour.

Faz Sunnyvale

1108 N. Mathilda Ave., Sunnyvale, CA
Mediterranean, California grill. The reasonably priced menu offers foods long on Riviera/Middle Eastern and rotisserie concepts, ranging from a Mediterranean platter to pizza, pasta and spit-roasted dishes. Dressy. Full bar.

Lion and Compass

1023 North Fair Oaks Ave., Sunnyvale CA 94089
California fusion cuisine incorporating Asian, European and Latin influences in an elegant setting. Try the Skirt Steak for lunch, or one of Lion and Compass's daily fish specials for dinner.

Turmerik

141 S. Murphy Ave, Sunnyvale, CA; Tel. 408.617.9100.
Indian restaurant; tandoori and curry specialties. Turmeric, the magic spice that lends the yellow tinge to many Indian sauces, is an apt name for this spicy dining spot. The curries here are masterful.

P.F. Chang's China Bistro

390 W. El Camino Real, Sunnyvale; Tel. 408.991.9078
Chinese. With atmosphere to spare--enormous stone horses frame the entrance, alongside hand-painted murals depicting life in the Ming Dynasty--Chang's doesn't neglect taste. Vibrant Szechuan flavors in dishes like chicken chow fun, orange peel shrimp, and Ma Po tofu mix surprisingly well with rich Western-style desserts. Full bar. Daily 11-11; until midnight Fri & Sat.

Seto Deli

155 E. Maude Ave., Sunnyvale; Tel. 408.735.7777.
Japanese. Folksy country deli that offers hot and cold, takeout, eat-in and made to order food in a vibrant array of familiar and not-so-familiar Japanese dishes at prices that beat just about any restaurant's. Closed Sun.
