"The food was decent. The Shahi Paneer was creamy, salty and flavorful with slight tinge of sweetness. The garlic naan and tandoori roti were huge in size. The roti was slightly thick and bit tough to eat. I would recommend this place for good Indian comfort food"
"I paid $30 for this Chicken Tikka Masala, and I am extremely disappointed. There were only 3 small pieces of chicken, mostly sauce, and the naan bread was badly burnt. For $30, this portion and quality are completely unacceptable. I would like a full refund for this item. I have attached photos showing exactly what I received."

"The Chicken Kheema Dosa is a bit weird, but pretty good, and also a ton of food for a decent-for-SF price. It's a gigantic dosa (in an even more gigantic package), with a softer, more crepe-like texture than I've had before (but then I'm hardly an expert on South Indian food). The soft, light dosa stuffed with a ton of minced chicken is a bit messy to eat, but definitely worth it. The green (coconut?) chutney perfectly complements the dosa and chicken; the resulting combination has lots of flavor and a bit of spice. The orange (tomato?) chutney is less exciting, but still not bad. And there's two sambar, as well. Really, the only negative is that there will be a ton left over and I have no idea how to reheat dosas without destroying them…
Anyway, I'm happy I accidentally ordered from the wrong dosa place, but after this pleasant surprise, I will order from them again (and it won't be an accident). There's tons of other stuff on the menu that looks worth trying."
"It’s an ideal way to kick off your lazy weekend with a delightful South Indian Vegan Breakfast. From the meticulous attention to packaging, the fluffy texture of Idli/idly, to the harmonious balance of sambar and chutneys, I thoroughly enjoyed this nutritious and delectable breakfast (and it comes in sufficient quantity it might also cover lunch). It's a perfect blend of healthiness, flavor, savoriness, and light on calorie intake. I surely coming back to try some more."

"The Chicken Tikka Masala was disappointing, the flavour was there but it was lacking the butter and cream that makes the dish a classic. However, the tandorri chicken in the sauce was amazing!! It was moist and had a beautiful smoked flavour.
The Garlic Naan tasted a bit stale, I'm not sure why it was a little chewy and flat as though it was cooked the day prior. It also lacked garlic and the buttery flavour. It was a great portion.
The rice lacked flavour unfortunately compared to other Indian restaurants.
The Keema Nan was really nice!
Overall, this restaurant could do with investing in better quality ingredients. I can tell the cooking is fantastic however some of the dishes lacked the flavour and the quality to give it five stars. "

"Darn good...tender Chicken Tikka Masala, good sauce, light color but rich flavor in the right way, no sweet or sour overtones, just straight up.
"Extra Spicy" was mild for me but I def welcome the little bit of bite.
The tamarind sauce is thin but legit, the green chutney is thick and also not too sweet or sour, exceptional.
Nan is nan but they do that right too.
Excellent quality meal."
"I ordered the Palak Dal combo, and it turned out to be a really satisfying meal! The Palak Dal was flavorful and comforting — rich, perfectly spiced, and had that homemade taste that’s hard to find in takeout.
The Basmati rice was fluffy, aromatic, and paired beautifully with the dal. It wasn’t oily or clumpy — just clean and well-cooked. And to top it off, they included two papads instead of one — fresh, crisp, and a great crunchy side.
Everything came neatly packed and still warm. It’s simple food done right — healthy, hearty, and full of flavor. Definitely something I’d order again.

"Lamb Samosa were very small and filled either onion. More onion than lamb in each bite. Way too expensive for the little 3" triangles. Cheese naan was good. Chicken Tikka Masalatasty. Tandoo chicken leg was dry and again $10 for a chicken leg is a bit high. "
"This pizza is a decent size and has a fair amount of veggies on it, but lacks flavor. There doesn't seem to be enough sauce below the cheese. Rather, it seems like the sauce was dabbed on randomly across the pizza, which when combined with the amount of cheese and size of paneer, makes it a little dry overall. Think it could be better with more sauce and smaller pieces of paneer. "

"Everything outdid my expectations. The sagg chicken was fantastic and flavorful, I really loved the cumin rice with it. And the sauces they sent with the Momos were all distinctly different; sweet tangy herbaceous spicy. You name it this meal had it. Portions are generous, and the price was fair. Can't wait to go back and eat in person with my family so we can all try different things and share "

"The Chicken Biryani (Gluten Free) was just an oily blob of rice, and the chicken wasn't flavourful. Not sure what was "biryani" about that oily rice.
The Eggplant Pakora(Vegan) was not crispy at all, and there was barely any pakora batter on the slices. Very overpriced for what you get."

"First time and I'll be back - picked up a delicious, fresh and hot order. Garlic naan was perfectly spiced, and soft for dipping in soup and sauces. Lentil coconut soup is light yet well spiced. Coconut rice a balanced blend of spice, to accommodate any dish. Lamb Lawabdar is a very interesting spice combination, not overpowering - great to match with my other dishes. Arugula fog salad was beautiful - fresh and well blended. Easy to share 4-5 dishes among 3-5 people, depending on hunger levels. "
"You know it's bad when you have to root around your spice cabinet to find things that would make the dishes taste better. The butter chicken was sweet and lacked depth, and the saag paneer was bland as well. A waste of money. Would not order from here again."

"The thali was so good. I've rarely had Indian food in the Bay area where they try and be balanced about the nutritional value in the food. There were enough greens and salad, the curries had vegetables in them and not just the typical orange fatty curry you get at Indian restaurants.
The saag in the thali was so tasty and fresh"
"It's ok. Tikka Masala was a bit watery and same with the Mango Lassi. The food isn't bad at all, but I used to live near several Indian food places that had more flavorful and rich tasting food. Like for example, the Mango Lassi I'm used to is sweet, mildly sour and rich and has some consistency, whereas this one tastes watered down. Again, not bad, food could just be richer."

"5/5 for Chicken MoMo (10 pcs). Their momo are full of chicken, soft, flavorful, and have thin dumpling wrapper which gives a really nice texture. You get full after eating 6-7 of them because they're huge. I love their portion size and taste. It's worth it for $15. Plus they're halal too. "
"The Baigan Bharta was extremely oil. I spent 10 mins just trying to drain and scoop the oil out. The pulao was a very small quantity for the price and tastes just okay. I would not recommend. "

Despite all the amazing food in the Richmond district, this one serves a very important niche as comfort Nepalese / Indian. Would also suggest dining in."

"I had the Vegetable Tikka Masala which had a super delciou creamy orange sauce including broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, peas, and zucchini. The money is definitely from the sauce as it is one of the best curries I ever had. However I found that there could be more volume of vegetables in the dish. I didn't find it enough. It is the same price as the lamb curry on doordash which is a meat dish so more the reason to give more. So I give it four stars instead of five for this reason. Also dont forget to give me utensils since I asked for it on DoorDash. Otherwise I've come to this restaurant a couple other times and recommend the goat curry as well. "
"Trisara is my new favorite Indian spot in SF. The naan is the best I've had here and the chicken tikka masala is creamy and delicious. A welcome new addition to downtown!"
