Excellent food - best Indian in the bay. Service / front desk very rude however.

The food is so salty and overpriced. And they charge so many fees over fees. Worst place in SF.

Went here for Valentine’s day! They have more spaces if you call than are shown online. The venue is slightly cramped, but we got a seat right by the kitchen, and you can see them making the food right there! Chef Heena was also there, vetting every plate. It was awesome to see the level of perfection and detail she puts into her craft.
The food we got was a prix fixe, and came out to 240 for 2 people since a 22% gratuity was added, so be wary! The food was filling and they gave enough to have leftovers, which is rare for a bougier place like this. My favorite dish was the shreekhand cheesecake, but the kofta was also good! Overall solid menu that does Guju food well (as approved by my date)

I've been to Besharam several times now and always enjoy getting the price fix menu. I normally don't go for those sorts of bougie/omakase restaurants in SF, but I think this one is always worth the price. The presentation is gorgeous and the dishes are always interesting iterations of authentic dishes or unique fusions. I loved the Kulchas with mole sauce and the Chole from their a la carte menu. The most recent visit I had the Serradura parfait and it was amazing!

Not good food. I know people are writing good reviews but authentic flavor of Dal Makhani is missing. You can call it a dal but not Dal Makhani. Chef has done efforts in presentation. Which is good. This place could be your experiment to try different things but don’t expect authentic flavor in main dishes. Lastly, manager was not acknowledging feedback about food instead being stubborn.

Being a Gujarati - I came here to try Gujarati food in SF and saw its a vegetarian restaurant. However I ordered Pav Bhaji and ended up realizing it has scallion bread instead of Pav which is made from egg.
Amazing food & service with very authentic Gujarati dishes.

the service was amazing and every dish was great, but the mango chutney and pakoras (fried brussels sprouts with onion and hot honey drizzle) are both heavenly. would recommend to literally anyone. very gluten free accommodating in options and waiter's knowledge of each dish.

The undhiyo pie here was the highlight - right balance of spices and really delicious. We enjoyed the unique combinations and the service but for us it’s a one time visit as we can get authentic gujrati food in the Bay Area at more affordable prices. I would still recommend this restaurant for a more modern take on indian food and for an occasion/date.

My parents were in town for the weekend of Diwali and we figured we would finally try out Besharam after months of wanting to. They had a special menu which we didn't order from BUT even with a smaller a la cart menu, we had an amazing time.
The service is great, with the right amount of both follow-up and space. Its a little bit pricey but honestly, some of the uniqueness is worth it. The vibe is also very new yet old at the same time, and I found myself picking out plenty of pieces of decor that I know my grandma has, or that I know we used growing up which was a nice touch. Plus, plenty of parking.
Now the food. They have a decent wine selection and we had a few cocktails that were very tasty but back to the food.
The drunken pani puri is a refreshing start and the puris were SO crunchy! I also added on the candy Karela which somehow is my dad's favorite vegetable and if it was made like this growing up, I also would agree, another winner.
We also had the Vindaloo Koftas, Dal Makhani, Maska Paneer and a cheesy garlic naan. Everything was very tasty and had a slightly different approach to dishes you've eaten before.
I know the menu changes so I cannot wait to go back and try more food that as a fellow Gujju, brings back memories and also let's me make new ones!
