Not withstanding any outstanding indictments against the owner, I stopped eating at Pasand after two visits because it is quite possibly the worst Indian food I've ever been served.

Bland, greasy and lukewarm are just three of the better points of it.

I went to the Santa Clara Pasand last week and thought it was OK.   There are other better Indian restaurants nearby:  Amber, Sarovar, Banjara, and the Bombay Oven.

I first tried Banjara a few weeks ago and was favorably impressed. It's located in the Town and Country shopping center in downtown Sunnyvale.
