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.
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...
Tilak serves a really nice dahi puri chaat that’s a perfect blend of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors. The crisp puris are filled with yogurt, chutneys, and spices, creating a burst of freshness in every bite. It’s a must-try for chaat lovers and a great way to experience the vibrant flavors of Indian street food!
