Came with a group so we were able to try a fair amount of food. The first thing you notice when you step inside past the heavy door is how beautiful the neutral decor is. We were seated upstairs. Cocktails were only okay. The sauces were a tad on the saltier side for me. I liked the vegetable options. Overall, we left full.

First time dining at copra . Great experience. Amazing ambience. Overpriced but worth the experience. Celebrated moms birthday and they gave a mango sorbet for the occasion which was a good touch to hospitality. Worth a try but cannot be a go to South Indian restaurant.

It was REALLY loud. Service was fantastic. Dishes were really good, though all 3 at our table can’t eat cilantro (tastes like soap) and that left few dishes for us to eat. We ordered every one that didn’t have cilantro. Drinks were all amazing

A friend and I wandered into Copra last evening. We got a table on the second floor and ordered martinis. They were good, as was the Pisco Sour I scored later. The decor in Copra is amazing, imaginative and enticing. I attach a couple of photos. Do be warned that most of the food at Copra is hot with spicy South Indian chili. All four of the chutneys pictured were hot. Only the green one worked for us, because as it turned out, we are both wimps where hot and spicy is concerned. The raw oysters we got were flavorful and fresh (the sauce was just right spice-wise). The little popover thingies were delicious as was the pear salad I ordered as my entry. My friend had the fish cooked in banana leaves which he said was moist and rich tasting. The dessert, close to a flan, was melt in your mouth delicious. The restaurant got very noisy unfortunately. The wait staff was attentive without being intrusive and the food arrived in a timely fashion. So, thumbs up!

Best Indian restaurant in SF We’re partial to southern Indian food, like copra, because it’s lighter and uses more coconut milk (versus ghee). While the apps were delicious (esp the brown butter shrimp and fried chicken) try not to fill up because the mains were next level. The hamachi collar was excellent, accompanied with local snap peas and coconut rice. The duck was tender and fell right off the bone. If you can handle heat (and enjoy it) then order your dishes with extra kick and get a side of their 90 day chili sauce ️

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was top-notch. The filter coffee was excellent and really hit the spot.

Going to begin by saying the interior absolutely blew me away. The details of the decor were so intricate and really added to the experience. In terms of food, everything was very flavourful and had just the right amount of spice to compliment the dishes. Highlights of the night were definitely the bone marrow and semi frozen bay leaf dessert. The pineapple dessert and rasam poori were a bit weird for my palette.

This is among the best Indian restaurant I’ve been to in SF. One of our favorite was their white corn thathai with corn ember and sweet peach chutney, which gave a burst of flavors in your mouth. We ordered three entrees to share – the black cod, hamachi and lamb shoulder were all incredibly tender and flavorful. They also have an interesting and creative selection of desserts. We loved the nannari sorbet (which was refreshing with a flavor profile slightly similar to honeydew) and kavuni & mango, which was a mix of purple rice ice cream and exceedingly fresh and sweet mangos.

We pretty much ordered all the small plates and went straight to dessert. Some hits and some misses but overall incredible.

Very good high end South Indian fusion cuisine. There are a lot of interesting dishes to try on the menu. I was blown away by the rice flower and coconut “bread” that came with the duck – it was delicious, slightly sweet, and chewy, and it paired amazingly well with the slightly spicy gravy. I look forward to returning.
