While the food was amazing, the service was beyond extraordinary. They were very welcoming and also showed us how they make tandoori roti. We got a free chai sample too. We love the staff and the owner here

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! Staff were beyond warm and welcoming; they shared their culture with us alongside their cuisine. The butter chicken, mango lassi, gol gappa, chai, and everything else was perfect and in great portion sizes. 10/10, will eat again

Second time to Apna Chulha and first time to try out their lunch buffet. Took my parents here and we all had a great time and rolled out of there very full. For about $20 (plus tip and tax) a person, it's a very hard deal to beat and a great affordable lunch in SF. There were plenty of options for both veg and non-veg and the naan came out fresh and hot to the table. The staff member who helped us, Babu, was very friendly and attentive. Some kids from a local daycare came by to do trick-or-treating and he passed out candy to them. It was really sweet to see local businesses support the community. Highly recommend folks to come try their lunch buffet! Last time we went, dinner was also fantastic!

Very pleasant and attentive staff - genuine warmth, not scripted courtesy. The chef personally adjusted dishes to our preferences, and every item delivered balanced flavor and precision. Excellent value for the quality, refined without pretension. Special thanks to Babu for making my wife’s and my experience exceptional. We’ll definitely be returning.

Dropped by for a Sunday buffet. The restaurant is spacious and well lit, well decorated. There was one waiter who was very courteous and welcoming, and gave us free masala chai! The buffet overall has several good vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. My favorites were the chicken curry, potato-vegetable curry and naan. There are not a ton of options, but certainly enough to sample a variety. Dessert was on point - gulab jamun and kheer were fantastic. Would recommend. Price point is very reasonable $18-19

Loud music on the street so you can't hear another person. Backyard is where they clean the pots on the floor. Outch

I was not satisfied with the Daal Makhni. It didn't taste or look like daal Makhni served anywhere else in the world. The tea wasn't good either.
Excellent service, especially from Babu. Friendly atmosphere. The butter chicken, garlic naan, and biriyani were great. Will definitely come back! Highly recommend.

One of the best Indian food restaurants in all of SF. Great food, great vibe, extremely clean, servers are very pleasant and really take care of your meal deeply. Very large seating area. If you are looking for space to decompress, eat a pleasant meal, celebrate - great place. Pretty good portion sizes. Have eaten multiple times here.

The owner is very friendly. My friend and I came to the place for the 1st time. He welcomed us. And we ordered some rice to share. It was a bit different from what I have tried before. They cook it in a different way but in a good way 😇 I like it. He’s like the grandfather in the house 🏡
