Been eating here basically since it opened. Used to be another Indian place that I frequented but when Tilak took over, the food took a leap up.
It's still one of the best Indian restaurants in the city. Easily. Everything is so good and flavorful... from basics like dahl and butter chicken to more unusual dishes like masala lamb racks and goan prawns. If something on the menu looks a bit unusual, that you don't recognize from other Indian places, I recommend going for it.
Tilak himself and the rest of the staff are friendly and awesome, but the food... Just great stuff all the way down the menu.
So, yeah, easily my favorite Indian place in SF and the place we've been doing our company holiday dinner for the last five or six years.

It’s quite affordable and server did a good job that I can definitely reflect. The food itself is stale. Doesn’t have the greatest flavor at all.
The big problem is that both of me and my friend had diarrhea right after this dinner We got super sick I am not sure if they’re using holding ingredients or they are just not sanitized But it’s a very serious concern

Nothing crazy, but just really good

Failed food inspection and follow up. Rat poop everywhere.
I loved this restaurant, but this food safety report was a flagrant violation of our trust as consumers.

A friend of mine who moved to Santa Rosa said that when she’s back in SF the first place she goes is Tilak’s. And I can see why. Super tasty food, good service and price. Not a flashy place just real good food and vibes.

We’ve moved to different parts of SF and have searched high and low for Indian restaurants that could live up to Tilak. We’ve come close but Tilak is really in a league of its own. The butter chicken is so rich and flavorful, hands down the best in SF. Our favorites are the butter chicken and the biryani, which comes topped with strings of sweet caramelized onions. We alwayslook forward to going back.

The food is great. Nothing i haven't liked. My personal favorite is the butter chicken.
This place will soon turn into a template for the glorious days of 'the old' guard of Indian restaurants in the bay. In an unassuming interior painted bright with turmeric yellow you will find conventional north Indian food that you may soon long for, given the rapid evolution of the Indian food scene in the country.
I got the dahi papdi chaat and it needn't have come with the edible flowers. The chaat was good, though the tamarind date chutney could be better. I also ordered the saag channa and bature. The saag was delicious and creamy and the bature were not giant balls of dough, but a pair of oval shaped bread. They had been well leavened and were stretchy and paired great with the channa.
Overall I'd come here for comfort food on a cool night seeking warm home fare.
