One of my favorite Indian restaurants in San Francisco!! The food is very delicious, the plating is beautiful, the decorations and ambiance are very good. The cocktails are also amazing. They have the best mango lassi as well.

This is the best Indian food I think I’ve ever had. The server was very nice and suggested delicious drinks and sides. Would highly recommend it to anyone who likes Indian food or to people looking to try it for the first time. I will be coming back here many times in the future. I cannot stress enough how absolutely lovely the food is.

I had really high hopes for this place given their extensive menu, great location, and service. The only thing that held me back from the 5th star was that even though I asked for mild, all the dishes were very spicy. I can handle it, but many others can’t and it’s disappointing to have the option and it not be followed.

Dave Karraker
Whoa! After two restaurants came and went in this space relatively quickly, this one comes out of nowhere and knocked our socks off. Much more affordable than the two previous iterations and the food is damn good. Got my traditional “let’s see if this place is any good” dish of simple tikka masala and it was spot on. Perfect tanginess, rich, great spice. Husband got coconut curry and equally as good. Samosas were huge and stuffed full. Great rice dessert and even the beer brewed onsite was tasty. Staff was adorable. What an improvement and exactly what the Castro needed!

We came here with a small group on a Saturday night for dinner around 8:30, and I’m shocked this place is not packed to the brim. The food is absolutely amazing and the cocktails are creative and delicious! We tried several dishes and cocktails, and there was nothing we didn’t like. My favorite things were the chicken wings and the eggplant dip, which were both recommended to us, and I otherwise would have missed them! Every dish had beautiful flavors and was perfectly cooked. We had a great time!

Finally found an amazing Indian spot in SF! Paneer tikka masala was fantastic – nice ambiance too. Highly recommend as well as the rice and naan!

Galen Workman
The current incarnation of this restaurant is excellent – much improved over the previous version. My Korma was flavorful and rich, and the add-in salmon was plentiful and top quality. The atmosphere is low-key and the service is friendly. The fact that they’re open for lunch greatly increases a reason to go to the Castro middays.
