Tasty Indian Food, Great Service
My experience at this restaurant has consistently been positive. The food is always very tasty, and I've noticed the interior of the North Indian section has improved significantly since my last visit. While crowds in this part of downtown haven't fully returned, I'm seeing North Indian getting quite busy. The service is always fantastic and friendly. It's definitely my go-to neighborhood Indian cuisine locale.

Sweet Diwali Treat with Great Quality Food
My experience at this restaurant was quite pleasant, especially as the owner was very sweet and offered us a complimentary dessert to celebrate Diwali. While the food is a little expensive, the quality is very good. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're in Downtown SF and craving Indian food.

Tasty Indian Food with Great Atmosphere
I had a late dinner with my friends and my experience was very positive. The dishes were very tasty and authentic, and the atmosphere was great. The service was friendly, especially from our waiter. I particularly enjoyed the Vegetable Briyani, which had a good amount of vegetables and paneer. The Garlic naan was incredibly soft and fluffy, and the Tandoori roti was optimally prepared. The only area for improvement was the Fish tikka masala, as the fish cubes were a bit thick and lacked masala infusion. We were served complimentary gulab jamun, which was perfect in both sweet and texture; I will definitely try the jamuns again next time. I would recommend this place for Indian food near the Moscone center.

Flavorless Food, Waste of Money
My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The food tasted absolutely devoid of flavor. I spent ₹250 from my pocket, but the food was so bad that even that person would come. Please don't waste your money. Go to another restaurant.

Late Night Desi Gem!
Late night desi food is one of the biggest blessings of God, if one exists. I couldn't resist walking in to this establishment, just from finding it open at 10: 30 pm. The food was authentic, the service was warm and friendly, and the atmosphere was upscale and clean (rare for Desi places). The music was delightful. They even gave me a free gulab jaman dessert. 😍

Top-notch food and service!
I visited this restaurant today with my friends after attending meetings in San Francisco. My experience was absolutely fantastic. The food was top notch, and I particularly enjoyed the Rogan josh, which was simply beautiful. The service was both prompt and warm. Our server, Mahavir, was very welcoming. Additionally, the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

Delicious Food and Great Service!
My friends and I were walking around and noticed many people waiting outside the restaurant. We decided to check it out, and from the moment we walked in, we were happy with the decision! The host was extremely nice and even cracked a joke or two, happily answering our questions about ingredients, meats, and dairy, as we ordered our food to go for lunch. The environment was lively with people laughing and enjoying themselves, and there was a huge TV. While we waited, the host even offered us mango lassi, which were delicious. We're currently in our office, enjoying the food and will no doubt return! We ordered 3 plates of food, 3 naans, rice, and a Coke, and paid roughly $80.

Excellent Indian Food in San Francisco
I have visited this restaurant two times. While the entrance is ordinary and not that impressive, the inside ambience is fine. We tried the buffet once, and most of the items tasted good. The second time, we opted for the a la carte menu and ordered standard Makhani daal and Aloo Matar with salad. The taste of the Daal was okay, and the Aloo Matar was good. The hospitality is very good. Overall, an excellent experience, especially the Indian food, which I never thought I would get a home food taste in San Francisco.
