Stumbled across Viva Goa while we were looking for affordable eats before a movie at Presidio Theater. What a great surprise!! This was easily the best Indian food I’ve had in the city – their okra masala was tangy and perfectly cooked, and every dish had incredible depth. We will be back!

Viva Goa is head and shoulders the best Indian food in the city. We order from here (take out or dine in) a couple times a month – it never disappoints. Every dish just has more flavor than pretty much any other Indian spot I’ve been to, and the flavors themselves are delicious. Food is super high quality, service is so friendly, and the whole team here has a lot to be proud of — place is the best.

Excellent restaurant! The food was the best I’ve had in a long time. I’m not native to San Francisco, but I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and anywhere.

Delicious, relaxed environment, great service, very VERY reasonably priced. My boyfriend and I got an appetizer, three sides, two entrees, and a large beer to split – it all came out to ~$68 total, including tax (but not tip). That is unheard-of pricing in this part of SF! My boyfriend loves spicy curry and they delivered a deliciously spicy vindaloo – it had the type of spiciness that grows instead of being so spicy that you can’t taste anything else. The service was very attentive and kind, and all of our dishes were excellent. The environment was very laid-back and relaxing. We will definitely be back!

Head to Viva Goa if you’re looking to try flavors and dishes from Goa, a small coastal state in Western India. Goan food is spicy, often a bit tart but nonetheless unique and very tasty. Viva Goa does a great job in highlighting some classic Goan dishes like Xacuti and Vindaloo. The Whole Pomfret fry was great; and definitely ask for Pork Sorpotel; it’s off-menu but they will happily make it. The food is fairly priced and the staff friendly.

We eat 3 times here throughout our vacation. Their briyani was superb. Paratha is not good they burnt it. Soft drink best ask to give 1 can instead glass since felt charged for 1 can but the volume is almost half only. Mango lassi also terrible too thick. We add on water to drink it.

Excellent cuisine: light on fat, heavy on spices and vegetables. The tandoori dishes have some smoke flavors. The Masala chicken and lamb were both excellent. Decent wine and beer selection. We didn’t have dessert. Service was impeccable as was the cleanliness.

One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve visited in the US! I’ve lived in Goa for 4 years time and can definitely vouch for the authenticity of flavors. I got the Recardo Pomfret and Prawn Vindaloo with rice both were delicious. I had asked for very spicy and the food rose to it beautifully, not being just hot but also very flavorful. The servers were very attentive and polite. We had a wonderful time here!
