Great. They're not lying with they said Great India. It is really great food. They used to have flyers with buy one get one free but now they changed owners and it's buy one get half off. As soon as you sit down they bring you free papadum with 4 sauces that are excellent. Great veggie dishes, dum aloo is very good. Very laid back restaurant and buffet is really good too. They have mango ice cream that really soothes your palat after a spicy meal. Highly recommended for some good Indian food in a very hospitable restaurant. Nice, nice owners.

User review by amorg. I've staked out a lot of Indian restaurants in the Richmond, and this one's my favorite. Cheap prices (rice included in meal), excellent food (the naan is fresh and soft) and the service is friendly. They're careful to inquire about all your tastes: level of spicyness, side orders, glass with your beer? It's true, deliveries take awhile - but there are no pretenses; they tell you to expect your food in 45 minutes when you call in.

A restaurant that asks you to go fly a kite .... I ordered at 9pm, waited until 11pm, and then got a call from a Mongolian driver whose English was impossible to understand that he was lost. I then called the restaurant, and the guy started yelling at me. He said, I am going to cancel your order, this is too much trouble for a 10$ order. GREAT! AT 11pm, after waiting for 2 hours, he has the guts to tell me that my order is too much trouble. I strongly recommend you NEVER order from this restaurant, although, in the Pacific Heights / Fillmore / Presidio area, they are one of the heaviest advertisers for delivery of Indian food. I have ALWAYS had trouble with their delivery drivers. They are almost always new, almost always don't speak English, don't know San Francisco, which tells me that they have horrible pay structures ...

Great Food At Great India. Great India is a cozy restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. Krishna the waiter is so attentive and makes you feel right at home. The service is outstanding and the food is very good. I like the Prawn Masala and their rice is perfect. Complimentary papadum with four sauces and prices are extremely reasonable. They also have a very good buffet. The food and service is always consistent. Great service, great food...=Great India!

Editorial Review. Stop in for the expansive, all-you-can-eat lunch buffet, or order delivery. Traditional Indian menu ranges from curries to tandoori chicken.

Good food - reasonably priced.. I ate a LOT of Indian food in London and the chicken tikka masala at Great India tastes the closest to the food I had in the UK - which I happen to think was delicious. The food is very reasonably priced - the staff is friendly and quick.

Parking can be a pain - as can the drive out to 25th...

When You Think Great India Try Clay Pot. Not bad Indian food, but not great either. The samosas are good, the curry ok. Portions are tiny, and delivery takes forever.

Clay Pot on Clement is better, although the staff there are a bit rude.

Free, fast delivery, fantastic Indian!. This is a great place for Indian food, whether you dine in, or have the food delivered. They actually give you a discount for deliveries!! Incredible tandoori chicken, great raita and naan...I love everything here. And they're cheap...the buffet costs less than $7. Go here or get food delivered; you wont be dissapointed!!!
