Probably the best and most popular restaurant in Sunnyvale downtown. Also try their fast food version, "Dish n Dash" (closer to my place in the opposite direction, on Mathilda).

Great Japanese food at unbelievable prices. Get the hot sake to go with your Sashimi. (Walk over after dinner/lunch to Philz - before 8:30pm - for some awesome coffee and people energy.)

Tell them Krishna sent you. My favorite drinks *: 1. Manhattan-Turkish (2:1 ratio) for a balanced caffeine+flavor. 2. Or get SoGood-Manhattan (1:2 ratio), for max caffeine. I highly recommend all black (no sugar, no cream, get the mint, and ask them not to aerate). * If you don't like strong, black coffee, you may not like it. Else ... you're welcome!

Get the Mutton Biryani here. Seriously. This is the World-famous Hyderabadi Biryani from the #1 biryani place in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Ask for extra "saalan" - it's the gravy you mix with your rice - after they bring you your food.
