Food wasn’t terrible but if you’ve ever had Indian food from a prominently Indian area in the US, you’d know how mediocre this is.
If you’ve never had good Indian food, this place will probably still seem good to you.
But with Indian restaurants in America, they’re usually very expensive for the portion and what you pay for (ingredients, execution, knowledge, difficulty of cuisine, etc). Like $20 for butter chicken.
You could make better butter chicken off of a Youtube tutorial for maybe $4 and triple the portion of what you’d pay $20 for.
It lacked flavor outside of earthiness and coriander. It was very bitter and earthy, lacking balance completely. Chicken was drastically overcooked (rubbery) and was from the bad parts of the chicken meat that are high in tendon. Aka it is hard and chewy at the seams. The sauce was, also, insanely salty but still lacked any good flavor. Why? Because like I said, it was just heavily earthy with no real notes outside of that. Meaning you just over salted a dirt taste. It was so “earthy” that it was essentially feeling like mud on my tongue. The aromatic notes were nice but it lacked the actual flavor foundation of a true butter chicken or curry. The garam masala was just not enough really, barely tasted it. The coriander flavor was stronger than anything really.
Basmati rice had 0 fragrance, and was drastically overcooked.
Garlic naan was good. No complaints outside of the garlic flavor being very lacking.
Chicken samosas were likely reheated from days before. They didn’t have a fried texture at all, let alone fresh even. They were chewy and pulled like tough bread. So I don’t appreciate being charged $12 for reheated (likely frozen) samosas.
The samosas were spiced VERY WELL, which was the best part of the entire meal. However, somehow, they lacked ANY SEMBLANCE OF SALT OR FLAVOR. Aromatically they were fantastic, but flavor was just bland.
It tasted OK, not hard on the mouth or anything. But would i ever go again? No, I’d actually just think “Indian food is kinda mid” if this was my first impression. But I absolutely LOVE Indian food. Back in WA, I lived near a lot of Indian restaurants. And this place would not survive there with that competition.
Locally, there isn’t really much of any. I mean literally the most common spot to pop up on search is in a mall food court lol.

Vegan Indian food sit down and a well labeled menu. Many paneer dishes can be made with tofu. Delicious!

If definitely satisfied the craving for indian food. My boyfriend and i have nut allergies and the staff was very attentive and made sure there would be no cross contamination. The chicken vindaloo was great paired with the garlic naan and the complimentary rice they serve you. The chana masala was decent but not my favorite that i’ve tried. Overall the service was great and the food was good and comes close to my favorite indian spot in north beach. Will definitely be back!

Our party of six had dinner here w/two of us vegan and the rest omnivores. There was a good selection of different dishes for everyone and several levels of spiciness from which to choose.
We vegans ordered the Vegetable Pakora to start and the Tadka Dal and Kadai Tofu. We also ordered a side of Vegan Garlic Naan. Staff was very accommodating offering vegan options that weren't listed on the menu, so that was very nice!
I was not a fan of the consistency of the Vegetable Pakora. It had good flavor, but the texture was just a tab off-putting. I think it may have been the large clumps to which they were formed that may have left the insides a little mushier than I liked. I'm used to pakoras being more stringy, so there's more surface area for the crunchiness.
The Tadka Dal and Kadai Tofu were great! The Vegan Garlic Naan was also very good. One thing that our friends had some issue with was the fact that some dishes they wanted spicy and others not, and when they arrived, the spice levels were switched. Again, probably just an issue with a large party.
I would visit again to try other things on the menu and I highly recommend!

Had a wonderful experience at NANPOINT Indian Restaurant. The food was delicious—flavorful, fresh, and authentically prepared. The highlight was not just the meal, but the hospitality. The owner personally ensured everything was perfect and even treated us to free chai, which made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming.
Really appreciate the kindness, attention to detail, and the genuine care for customers. Highly recommend this place if you want great food paired with heartfelt hospitality.

As always, great food and excellent service. Writing this review because we tried the tandoori for the first time. We were definitely missing out not trying it sooner. I had the tandoori mixed plate that included chicken tikka, tandoori chicken, lamb seekh kebab, and prawns. My wife had the full chicken tandoori. It was by far the best meal we had there. Come with your appetite because it is a big meal. We could have shared. But lucky for us, we now have leftovers.
