“I loved the variety of flavours at this restaurant. It’s a great place for people who don’t typically eat Indian food, but want to try it. Highlights were the dosa and bone marrow. Only thing is some dishes were a bit dry/tough (the large beef dish and the fried chicken)“

“Highly highly recommend. It’s hard for us to go to the city without stopping here to eat, we love bringing new friends here as well. If you love Indian food, this is a great place.

Vegetarian options: There’s a large vegetarian section and they are familiar with vegan and we’re even careful to warn me that one of the items I ordered is not vegan“

DB is one of the nicest servers, making sure that the spice level and food suites your needs. Highly recommend for solid Indian food in the city.“

“Noe Indian Cuisine is top notch in every way! We stopped here for our lunch during our bachelorette weekend with six of us, and we were in a hurry to get to our next activity. They took our orders right away, brought the drinks and food quickly, and all of it tasted incredibly delicious, hot, and fresh. Not only that, but they brought all the boxes we needed too. Honestly, this is the best and speediest service I have ever seen at a sit down restaurant. If I'm ever back in San Francisco, I will be coming back!“

“One of the best Indian places in SF. Food is so good, and easy on stomach. Dishes are curated, Jackfruit tacos are a must. Never had something like this, Dal was also very good. We had a great time enjoying our meal. Servers were amazing, special shout out to Pooja, she was amazing and gave us great recommendations. We also spoke to Chef, who was very friendly and shared the same“

“extremely bad tasting food and bizzare combinations....miffed at kichadi like biryani with no flavour and being served with aam ka achar....god knows how this restaurant got Michelin star rating ....Shame on the chefs and the owners for ripping off the customers with overpricing of the food for poor service, absence of any ambience or decor“

“We stopped there on our way to catch our flight at SF airport. We were short on time and we placed our order. Our server was fantastic helping us to order and we were served our dinner promptly. There was a feeling that all the staff worked together as a team, looking after all the tables not just their own station. That is a sign of true teamwork. We really enjoyed our dinner there. Food and service~ EXCELLENT!“

“Really good Nepalese momo and chwomin there. Recommend everyone to give this a try“

“Rose Indian is super delicious. Everything was really tasty and well done. Papadam and chutneys came with the meal and I ordered Mixed Pickles, Coconut Vegetable Curry and Roti. The Curry was complex and very flavorful and paired wonderfully with the Roti, which was also fantastic. Loved the Mixed Pickle and Chutneys and the Papadam was light and crispy without being too oily. Really impressed by everything here. Menu is very clearly labeled with vegan entrees and there are a lot of them. Great service as well. Definitely going back soon.“

“Chaska Restaurant serves a really nice paneer naan that’s soft, fluffy, and stuffed with flavorful, spiced paneer. The combination of buttery naan and rich paneer makes it a delicious and indulgent treat that pairs perfectly with their curries. A must-try for paneer lovers and anyone looking to elevate their Indian meal!“

“We live in the neighborhood and there are many, many Indian restaurants but this one is a standout. The ingredients are fresh, the atmosphere is more elevated, the prices are more affordable, and the recipes are wonderful particularly the tikka masala and saag.
Lots of places substitute quality for heavy oil and salt. This place just knows how to cook! It’s the real deal.“

“Fast, friendly service. Good for families with kids. Everything we tried was delicious! The Tandoori Fish was a standout. Moist, charred, spicy… Amazing! All their food is halal. They have vegan options as well. There’s something for everyone. We’ll definitely be back!“

“This is a very cozy place with good ambiance, good food and great service.
I had madrasi chicken and it was very creamy and spicy. My spouse had malai kofta, it had a flavor of sweet and spice. For breads we had Naans, garlic and chilly cheese, they were very soft!“

“I attended a birthday dinner here and had the most delicious Indian food ever in my life. everything I tried was amazing, including the mango lassi. the staff was super nice even though we stayed for almost 3 hours talking loudly. they even gave us mango ice cream at the end!“

Really nice place to enjoy indian food in the city. Excellent service staff is doing a great job especially for the service. Hope that they will make the same delicious food in the future its my favorite place to visit if i wanna taste the indian specially their lunch combos are the best in the city love it.

“I had their lamb roganjosh, aloo Gobi, and chicken chettinand. People might say Pakwan is the place to go for good Indian food in the city, but I was thoroughly impressed with what I ate at Keeva. This is not watered down gringofied Indian food. Absolutely loved the lamb roganjosh, the cauliflower and potatoes were very well spiced, and while I personally didn't like the chettinand, I understand the flavor profile and what that dish is. You're missing out on really delicious Indian food if you're not eating here.“

“I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and Aloo Naan. It was very good I recommend this restaurant.“

“The staff are friendly, polite and professional. The food is good, delicious and tasty. Big portions.“

“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.“

“It’s was aww❤️ delicious food 🍲“

“Great and delicious food awsome service and great quantinty and quality with desi taste its a place to had a food blast....... ...“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! It’s a bit on the pricey side, but totally worth it for the amazing flavors and the amount of food. The saag paneer and cheese naan are my absolute favorites — I can’t get enough! I’ve been three times now, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food and friendly service!!!“

“Su personal y su comida está deliciosa y accesible sus precios están bastante cómodos está muy rica su comida“

“The people that work here are super friendly and hospitable. They knew me by name after the first visit and were extremely accommodating, even when ordering food like 15 min to closing. The food is also very good. We picked up food from here 3x in one week. ? The "mild" is definitely more like white people medium, but the flavor is very good. The stand out dishes we've had so far are the masala fries, butter chicken, and chicken biryani. It's also a good amount of food for the price in my opinion. Highly recommend this place!“

“The food! The spinach paneer was delicious & the chicken Tikka Masada had a nuanced spicing that was scrumptious! The mint sauce had a nice bite and the tamarind sauce was yummy. The clayoven thali for two is an incredible value.“

“i am so grateful for Udupi Palace it’s one of my favorite restaurants in the Bay Area everything is so delicious!!! ���South Indian People, Food & Culture ���“

“Very nice decor Pleasantly surprised The food was flavorful And they gave good portions We will eat there again“

“I Definitely recommend their momos. its super tasty and juicy.“

“I ordered takeout from NEWA. The food was excellent! The paneer tikka masala was super good. We ordered the spicy, and were humbled but honestly that’s what you’re looking for from an Indian/nepalese restaurant. The vegetable momos were unlike any momos I’ve had before but were super flavorful, with great texture & came with a punchy dipping sauce. Definitely have to order from them again!!“

“Support excellent food and a longtime San Francisco tradition!“

“This was my second time bringing friends here and my second time interacting with Gobi. I really absolutely recommend making this place a part of your visit to the Bay and if you live here and haven't eaten here yet, hurry up and try it!“
