“Amazing!! Enjoyed our dinner very much! Chicken was so tender. The flavor was amazing. Definitely will eat here again!“

“Tried Curry Pizza House in Kent, WA for the first time. Great flavors! Wonderful wings, Desi bread, and pizza! The mango lassis are yummy. Definitely check it out!“

“Excellent pizza, will try again. Pizza crust is authentic, masala is fresh.“

“Gitesh was the most thoughtful server, service was top notch - no complaints. The food tastes amazing and my friend concurred that it was authentic. There is plenty of space to sit, and everything is clean. Will definitely be coming back to eat more tasty food.“

“i go to nepa indian cuisine today food taste very good like home. curry is nice and naan very soft and fresh too. staff people polite and service is fast i not wait long. place is little bit small but clean i like it. i think i will come back soon with friends because price also fair. good honest food.“

“Amazing food at a reasonable price. The sun room is beautiful with tall ceilings and large windows. Norman, the owner, was very kind. Great variety of vegan and vegetarian food with offerings outside of what you find at other places. They also have lunch buffet menu! You can tell this is an authentic place and an old SF staple. Highly recommended and will come back next time I’m in town :)“

“I was driving by Sunset Indian Cuisine, and stopped by to check the restaurant out. To say everything exceeded my expectations is understatement, Food was delicious and generous portion, and ate all of it ( usually I would not eat full but it was impossible to stop eating). Inside is very cozy and warm, and this will be my place from now on to eat. 12 out of 10 would recommend this gem“

“A rather odd place. First of all, the tandoori chicken and the palak paneer were fantastic – the best I’ve ever had, I think. However, the naan (we got plain and garlic) was the worst I have ever had. Think thin, bad pizza dough. The basmati rice was alright. Service was friendly but a bit slow and scattered. The women’s bathroom was dirty enough that I decided to wait until I got back home. The tension on the door to the women’s bathroom was set so high that the door slammed into me quite hard.“

“The food was excellent and mouth watering! The staff, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend.“

“Food was so good and servic was very fast🥰“

“Our daughter found Rose Indian Cuisine on Google Reviews and we were so glad that she did! Great location near the Golden Gate Botanical Gardens. This place was one of the best meals we had during our vacation. We had a cauliflower dish, Gobi Manchurian. Honestly the most delicious cauliflower dish eaten; it was gone before the other appetizers arrived!!! The entrees were also tasty and the naan beyond fabulous. The meal ended with chai tea. Highly recommend dining here for delicious food and spectacular service!!“

“I had the buffet and it was delicious! I came near the end of the buffet on a Sunday, but the food was still hot with many entree, appetizer, and dessert options. It also comes with naan which is a plus. My server was also nice and gave a run down of the buffet.“

“Our experience at Copra was memorable due to the high quality and creativity of the food and excellent personal service. Everything we ordered felt like a labor of love from the kitchen, and our server Antonio was warm, helpful, and a true professional. The dosa and accompaniments and the rasam poori were just so much fun to eat, so flavorful and surprising. We especially loved the bone marrow, with plenty of parotta to dredge in the gravy - decadent and delicious. "VOD" vegetables of the day and beet salad were excellent. The flavors and textures of "Gods Own" Coconut Variation were a delightful cap to our meal.“

“Hey there foodie friends, Guess what? I just had the most delicious and authentic North Indian food during my visit to San Francisco! I never expected to find such yummy flavors in the USA. From buttery naan to spicy curries, my taste buds were dancing with joy! If you ever get the chance, you HAVE to try it out. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Keep on adventuring and trying new things!“

“It’s a good restaurant with good food; however, the service could be better. We were celebrating a birthday and had requested whether the complimentary celebration dessert could be changed from ice cream to something else, as the birthday person was dealing with a sore throat. Unfortunately, they declined the request. I believe they could have handled the situation with a little more thoughtfulness and flexibility, especially given that it was a birthday celebration and we are anyway paying super high prices for super small portions. Their dahi puri and paneer pinwheel were good.“

“Seriously underrated. The owner wanted me to eat the panipuri in the restraunt when it was takeout order saying it would get soggy. I was like nah I'm still going to have that that takeout and he literally poured a bunch of the tamarind water into a Togo coffee cup with lid. The service is second to none. Also the lamb biryani is so good. Cost wise its not overly expensive. Taste wise its rlly good“

“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.“

“It’s my first time getting Indian food in San Francisco, and I was very satisfied with eating at Noe Indian Cuisine.

Our server Subi was very friendly, kind, and sweet. The food (samosa, chicken tikka masala, chicken biriyani, naan) was all delicious and freshly cooked. The two of us really enjoyed all of the food and had nothing left on our plates.

We will definitely come back soon in the future.“

“Delicious Food and Great Service! Had the Samosas and the Momos to eat and paired with the ABCD and Rose Water cocktails and the flavors really complimented themselves. Didn’t take any photos cause I devoured everything too quickly. Go in and try it for yourself“

“Came here for dinner yesterday and honestly had such a great time. The vibe is really chill but still feels upscale, love that combo. Great place to catch up with friends or a date night with your special one.

Everything we ordered was delicious, but here are the highlights:
Fried chicken - crispy, juicy, great flavor. Simple but done really well.
Rasa sliders - these are a MUST. So buttery and perfectly seasoned, we were obsessed.
White elephant butter paper dosa - another must-get! Super fun to eat and the dosa itself is perfectly crispy. The real move is trying it with all the different sauces, each one hits differently.
Duck - loved the balance of rice, meat and veggies. Nothing overdone, just really well put together.

Finished with the coconut puma for dessert and it was such a good call. Perfect way to end the meal. Would def come back to this hidden gem​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

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

“$120 for 3 people including tax+tip, this is a very nice spot and great location, don't come here if you're in a hurry though the service and food was a little slow haha. The smashed samosas were so good! Also really liked the chicken dumpling tikka masala“

“I recently visited Taj Indian Cuisine with some friends, and it was an absolutely incredible dining experience. Hands down, the food here is the best among all the places I usually visit! We ordered a variety of dishes to share: Paneer Pakoda: Crispy, perfectly seasoned, and a great way to start the meal. Mix Grill: Packed with flavor, perfectly charred, and incredibly juicy. Dal Makhani: Rich, creamy, and slow-cooked to absolute perfection. Mint Lachha Paratha & Garlic Naan: Both breads were fresh, warm, and the perfect complement to the rich curries. The mint flavor on the paratha was a stando! If you are looking for authentic, high-quality flavors, this is easily one of the best places in California for Indian and Nepali cuisine. I will definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommended!“

“First time here and we absolutely loved it! The food was so delicious, and our server Navi was incredibly nice, friendly, and attentive. She made our experience even better. Everything was great, and we’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Star India! We were visiting San Francisco with family and craving authentic Indian food, and we enjoyed the meal so much that we ended up coming back a second time on the same day. The food had a truly authentic Indian taste, and the pakoras were especially crispy and delicious.

What stood out even more was their hospitality. We were freezing that night, and although it was already closing time, they specially made chai for us and even offered us extra. We loved both the food and the customer service, and we’ll definitely return on our next trip to San Francisco!“

“honestly this place is such a find. i got the butter chicken and garlic naan and it was so good im still thinking about it a day later.

the flavors were super authentic and the service was really friendly. definitely coming back to try more stuff on the menu.“

“Very nice place, my family came here for late night cravings and did not leave disappointed. Such amazing food everything looked great, I had the vegetarian malifa kalfi, to mention they also had a great amount of vegetarian options, I couldn't get enough of my food it was delicious, the Britain looked great, and the Haan wasn't to soft to be chewy and weird and not so hard to be burnt and unjoyable but it was perfectly cooked to pair with rice and curry. Dont know how to share pictures but if I did you would be blessed by how good it looked, tasted so so good, again the malai kofta was MIND BLOWING, great food and even better service, the owner and server was so kind and giving,“

“Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had! The vindaloo, tikka masala, and butter chicken are spiced to perfection and the sauces are a beautiful consistency. The space is always clean and quiet, with a big window. Service is quick and attentive.“

“All is good Food and Service“

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

“Obsessed with this place I think about their dosas everyday. Don’t go you might end up eating here 3 times a day for the next 5 years because it’s sooooo good. But for real such a homey restaurant with amazing food and service. Would recommend this 1000000x“

“Very inviting and friendly place. Food is done well and at a good price point. Service a tad slow but it was a quiet Sunday afternoon. Check it out.“

“Excellent food and friendly service!!!“

“First of all, the catchy name caught my attention, but the menu is what truly impressed me. They offer fresh, innovative dishes you don't typically find at regular Indian restaurants. The paneer butter masala was finger-licking delicious, and the naans were fresh and soft—they didn't even get chewy when cold. The chaats are a delight, especially the onion kachori chaat.
The absolute highlight, however, was the dessert that shares the restaurant's name: Jalebi. Fried in ghee with real saffron and made fresh to order, it is the most delicious jalebi I’ve tasted in the whole of the USA.
The hosts are a lovely couple running a family-owned business, and they truly have a calling for hospitality. When we visited right around closing time, they were still running around for hungry customers. Even when they had to turn a group away at the door, the wife immediately offered to pack food to go, bringing smiles to everyone's faces. She always finds a way to serve her customers. We really enjoyed our meal and hope to return soon!“

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

“We have visited this establishment many times. We appreciated the chicken tikka masala, garlic cheese naan, and tandoori chicken. Their chai is also exceptional. The service is excellent, and the staff are welcoming. I am very pleased to have discovered an Indian restaurant that meets our preferences.“

“A cozy authentic and homey environment with wonderfully fresh food. The best tofu ever!“

“The momo jhol is the absolute star. The tikka pizza is also good, but the momo has been my lunch the past 7 times I have been there. Creamy, rich, and supple soup, with incredibly spiced dumplings. When I have this and a napali beer I can work all day feeling fueled. Slightly barebones in the seating, but the food outshines that“

“Curry corner Indian pizza is one of the best Pizza I ever had, best price n great pizza 🍕.“

“We came to San Francisco from the UK and were looking for authentic Nepali food. Among the many Nepali restaurants, we chose Gurung Kitchen, and it turned out to be a great decision. The hospitality and service from Tamang baini were excellent, making us feel very welcome. The food was truly authentic Nepali style—especially the pork jhir, jhol momo, and all the curries, which were cooked just like back home in Nepal. Thank you for the wonderful food and warm hospitality. We highly recommend Gurung Kitchen to anyone looking for genuine Nepali cuisine in San Francisco! KUDOS“

“Three food, really liked the lamb curry and chicken tea masala and the friendly staff“

“Probably my favorite pizza place.

I have been coming here since I was a kid, and I have never been disappointed.
One of the most unique things you can do with this pizza is order curry (or my favorite Chicken Masala) and use it as a dip or extra topping on their pizzas, you will not be disappointed.

Their Pizza is really good on its own too so if you want the classics don't be afraid to get them.“

“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!“

“If you really need a true north Indian food flavor, taste and balance of spices, that crispy, slightly charred naan, just try it here once, you will never go back to any other restaurant. It’s a big statement to make but this could be very best of Indian food I may have tasted in here so far. I just pray and wish these guys to plz plz maintain same taste, standards and service. If possible please come to NC, Raleigh. Anyone who have not tasted a real makkhan with alloo kulcha ( the one with curd and cholay in picture), your life will change its course, after tasting this combo. You will remember your life before and after this experience. I am full but cant stop eating. Have a flight to catch, else will eat everyday here. I just pray we meet again. Plz pass my blessings to kitchen staff and chef. I dont care if anyone says otherwise, but for me you guys are the best.“

“Tabla in Atlanta serves amazing Indian flavor in a chic, modern setting. Don't miss their Handi Gosht and Kurkuri Bhindi perfect for both meat lovers and vegetarians!“

“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 ���“

“I had a fantastic dinner at Curry and Kabab in San Mateo tonight! The **Soya Chaap** was incredibly flavorful and well-textured, and the **Aloo Gobi** was cooked to perfection with just the right balance of spices. Pairing them with their fresh, warm **Naan** made for a truly satisfying meal.

If you're looking for authentic flavors and great service in San Mateo, this spot is a must-visit. Five stars all the way!

Really liked their wall paintings though“
