Unacceptable Food and Service
My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The chicken and meat dishes were served completely raw, even to the children, which was unacceptable. When we brought this to the attention of our server, MD, he insisted the food was fine despite being clearly undercooked. The food was inedible. Upon requesting to speak with the manager, there was a complete lack of accountability and unwillingness to listen. None of the staff acknowledged our concerns, and the entire situation was handled very poorly. We ended up leaving because both the food and service were unacceptable. I rarely write negative reviews, but this was one of the worst experiences I've had. Unless significant improvements are made in food preparation and management's attitude, I cannot recommend this place.

Excellent Bengali Food and Atmosphere
I had a very good experience at this restaurant. The stuffs and owners are Bengali, which adds a unique touch. The food is very good, and the old Kolkata interior creates a wonderful atmosphere.

Stale Food, Poor Quality, Waste of Money
My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The taste of the food was completely lacking, and the presentation was poor. Everything tasted like it was made just a few days ago and wasn't fresh. I've had much better food here previously. Please don't serve frozen or stale food. The food is very expensive compared to the taste, and the spoons provided are of very poor quality. Eating such stale food would make people sick. Visiting this restaurant would be a waste of money, and eating such food would be very harmful to your body. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Worst North Indian Food Experience
My experience at this restaurant was likely the worst North Indian food I have had in San Francisco. I strongly advise against eating here; you would be better off eating anything you find outside. I tried the daal makhni, mix veg, and paneer, and unfortunately, everything was bad.

Terrible food, high price, low quality
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly negative. The food looked stale and was of low quality, making me question its healthiness. To add to the disappointment, the price was high, which is unacceptable given the poor quality. I have never encountered such bad food in any Indian cuisine before.

Good food, but loud and parking is tough
My experience at the restaurant was generally good. The food was enjoyable, and the service was excellent, receiving a perfect score. However, there were a couple of minor issues. Finding parking was difficult, and the atmosphere was quite loud. Despite these points, everything else was good.

Mixed Experience: Great Ambiance, Poor Food
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of highs and lows. The atmosphere was truly great, with good lighting and great interiors. The service was also really good, and the staff were great. I ordered the mixed grilled plate and Chai. The Chai was so good that I ended up ordering two! However, the grilled plate was under cooked, which unfortunately led to an upset tummy for 1. 5 days.

Disappointing Experience, Not Worth the Money
My experience at this restaurant was not worth the money. The portion size was extremely small. The dal was bland, the naan was half baked, the mix veg was horrible, and the aloo tikki was just plain. There are much better options on Geary Street, so I would advise others to stay away!

Salty Food, Poor Service
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to the food quality and service. The food was excessively salty, and when I brought this to the waiter's attention, they became defensive and started correcting me. This attitude reflects a poor service mindset. I cannot recommend this place to anyone seeking good food.

Authentic Tastes, Great Service & Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was truly authentic and enjoyable. The food tasted just as good as it did when I first started dining here in 2012. The service was nice, and the atmosphere was a perfect 5/5. I'm already planning to bring my little one back for the ras malai😁.
