Recent Reviews
Food is great. Would like to be able to call the restaurant and order directly instead of paying/supporting Uber, Grub Hub, Cavier, Postmates..., but they don't take orders over the phone.

This place has awesome food at very reasonable prices! The staff is very friendly and they have complimentary tea while you wait. There is almost always a line if you don't get there within an hour of opening so get there early or be prepared to wait. The platha and dip appetizer is one of my favorite dishes ever, a must try!

This is one of my all time favorite restuarants! And that says a lot having been a SF resident for 20+ years. I have regular cravings for the chicken dahl with coconut rice, and the tea salad. I suggest going for lunch on a weekday to avoid the extremely long wait for dinner. Although they will call your cell phone if you want to wander down the street to Green Apple Books while you are waiting.
