Great chill quiet indian food spot in the lower part of haight

Delicious vegetarian options. Great friendly staff every time I have gone. Recommend the aloo gobi and the biryani rice. The food came out cool once and they had no issues with reheating it for us so we could enjoy it. Give them a chance, they have always come through for me

• Pros: well priced, not greasy, easy to get a table
• Cons: slow kitchen, uncomfortable seating (hard wooden benches)

YUCK!

by silentdiner at Citysearch

I love Indian food and was excited to eat here after viewing it on a local restaurant review tv show. I left feeling like a rube for eating there.

I didn't mind that the portions were ridiculously small because we couldn't eat what was delivered to our table. It was inedible.

Curry Grant/ chicken curry = 3 small pieces of RAW (pink/red) CHICKEN in a soup of boring curry sauce.

Nan = 1 cold & dry piece - no chewiness

tamarind & mint chutneys were watery & bland

The vegetable pakora was greasy and small

We ordered the Chopra okra mild b/c I'm pregnant & keeping it mild to medium for now- it came spicy - so spicy that it tasted flat.

The waitress noticed that we didn't eat much of the little food that was delivered to our table so asked sheepishly if we wanted to order more dishes - "how about desert?" We thanked her & asked for the bill.

The service was ok.

• Pros: the place was empty, so we didn't have to wait
• Cons: raw chicken, small portions, boring use of spices

Avoid this place

Not the best Indian place in town! What a place not to dine on a Friday nite, Saturday nite or any other nite. We waited 20 minutes for the menu's, waited 25 minutes for them to take the order and then waited a full 60 minutes before our food arrived. The chicken tika masala, was all sauce with 3 pieces of chicken, the price $10.00! We ordered Aloo Gobi, they had run out, they sent out masala pumpkin...? Chicken Kariahi was all masala again with 3 pieces of chicken, the price 10! We ordered Lamb Birayani, they served us Chicken, the rice was white rice with chicken masala sauce and the rice was half cooked. I'm sorry to say, we will never visit this place again or recommend to our friends. PAKWAN on 16th & Valencia has more VALUE for your money and the FOOD is fantastic!!!

• Pros: No pros's
• Cons: Bad Indian Food and Poor Service

Favorite Indian Resturant

This is my favorite Indian resturant in the city. You can actually taste the difference in each dish. The best part is that" it NOT greasy" when compared to other indian resturants. we order atleast once a week and each time the taste is consistent. I really really like thier samosas and thier vegetarian dishes and Aloo naan. SSSSSoooooo Good. oh don't forget the chai...it's complimentary.

I wish they had more ventilation in the dining area, it gets a bit smokey and congested.

• Pros: Awesome Food

Good Indian

This place has good Indian food - nothing spectacular service or food wise but it is a solid effort. Food is not too spicy which suits me just fine

• Pros: Good Indian
• Cons: OK Service
