Southern Indian food that was absolutely amazing. The menu is small and simple and the food is large and great. Shareable portions but beware the spiciness if you’re not into that. I have a low spicy tolerance but handled it well and the spicy doesn’t linger long...at least not with what we got. It was fab. Goat curry, goat basmati rice in bam, cauliflower fried with spices, and masala fries. Yummmmmmy!

Best South Indian food in Bay Area.
