The story
Eylan, located at 500 El Camino Real in Menlo Park, California, has earned recognition from Wine Spectator with its 2025 Award of Excellence — a distinction that signals a wine list carefully curated to complement the restaurant's Asian and Indian cooking.
The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly. It reflects a commitment to building a cellar that genuinely serves the food on the table, and at Eylan, that means finding bottles that hold their own alongside the bold spices, layered sauces, and aromatic depth that define Indian and broader Asian cuisines. That pairing challenge, when done well, elevates both the food and the glass.
Eylan sits in the heart of Menlo Park, making it a natural choice for the Peninsula's discerning diners seeking something beyond the expected. The address on El Camino Real places it at the center of one of the Bay Area's most dynamic dining corridors, where the standard for quality is high and guests arrive with genuine expectations.
For those drawn to the complexity of Asian and Indian cooking — and who want a wine program serious enough to match it — Eylan delivers on both counts.
