"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."

"Baigan Bharta and Boti Kabab are excellent. Baigan can be difficult to cook but Royal Indian Cuisine has mastered the spice mix and the texture. The spices in the Boti Kabab are well balances and the meat tender. The portions are generous. If you're not accustomed to the heat level of South Asian cuisine, please note that "spicy" really is very spicy. It was just right for me. I've had a hard time finding good Desi food and am so happy to have finally found a winner in Royal Indian Cuisine."

"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!"

"Good Beef Brisket Curry with Rice 咖喱牛腩飯 love the spicy degree of it. Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings 椒鹽雞翼is normally good."
"The pork chop was very good. But definitely not what I expected based on the photo and description. It came breaded and fried. And very spicy. Which I love but not what I thought I was ordering. The picture and description sounds more like a roasted pork chop that's crispy from the roast not crispy from being breaded and fried. And what they mean by fresh herbs are green onion, garlic, and kung pao chili. Again I loved it. Just think people deserve transparency especially when spending $24 a plate. Not much of a fan of the price. A bit too pricy for a pork dish. I probably won't order it again based on the price alone. But if you want breaded and fried pork chops at least now you know what you're ordering. The chow mein is very basic, and so not worth $22!! The hot sour soup is very good. But I ordered it a couple nights ago and it was so good. Price is somewhat decent on this and you get a good amount. However, I ordered it tonight and it's ok but not as good two nights ago. It's different and that makes me disappointed cause when I find a place that makes a good hot sour soup I tend to return a lot for it. But now I'm apprehensive on returning cause of the inconsistencies. So all in all there is lack in consistency, transparency, and food is over priced. But still good."

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.

"I'm a regular customer of this restaurant. Their food is tasty and fresh. Portions are decent. Would order again."
"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."

Kashmiri chai, also known as "noon chai" or "pink tea," is a traditional tea from the Kashmir region. It’s uniquely brewed using green tea leaves combined with milk and a pinch of baking soda, which creates its signature creamy pink hue. This tea offers a distinctive flavor profile that balances a slight saltiness with earthy and aromatic notes. Traditionally enjoyed during colder months, Kashmiri chai is much more than a beverage, it's a cultural experience and a symbol of hospitality in Kash

"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."

"My favorite takeout Indian food in San Francisco. Don't miss the saag paneer and the butter chicken. Both are brimming with flavor. Chicken is fresh, juicy, and not at all dried out (like Rose Indian is in my experience). Incredibly fast service if you live in Castro, Glen Park, Noe, etc. Yummm!"
"Everything was delicious, fresh and beautifully spiced. Saag Paneer is perfect, not too rich and really well balanced; Samosas stayed crispy even after a few hours in the fridge! Only complaint is the pieces of chicken in the Butter Chicken Masala were tiny, more like shreds. Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants available on DD."

"It's been too long since I've been in person, glad Chutney still has great food. The Bengan Bharta had larger pieces of eggplant than I'm used to, I liked it, and was the best seasoned example I've had lately. The Paneer Tikka Masala was not disappointing either. Need to visit in person again as I'm sure it'd taste even better. Thank you, Chutney "
"I love Chutney. It is the only thing I order on Door Dash. I crave their Samosas, Paneer Naan, and chicken tikka masala which is best in Bay Area including that lovely place in Marin. I recently tried the lamb biryani and I was amazed at how tender the lamb was. It was delicious. I dont know how they can make rice so fluffy but it is. Thank you for your great food and quick delivery."

"Chicken Makhani was amazing, mixed with the Basmati White Rice there was enough for leftovers! the Garlic Naan was wonderful (a little burnt but still delicious) and the Cheese Naan was also very good."
"The first time I ordered the Paneer Tikka Masala, it was so good. The best tikka masala sauce I'd had in a long time. But this time it wasn't quite as flavorful. At least it wasn't too sweet like most that I've been getting the past few years, but it lacked a robust flavor. The Veg Samosa(2 pieces) have been great both times. The Kabuli Naan was good, it makes a great not too sweet dessert!"

"We've ordered from here for many years and it's always great. I love the Vegetable Korma and Garlic Naan. Their Tandoori Sampler is also excellent, though sometimes we get the chicken boti instead. Their chicken tikka masala has a great smoky flavor and my huband loves their lamb dishes. We ordered tonight and had planned to get their chicken wings, which are also a favorite, but they weren't on the menu. Hopefully they will be again soon. They have some of the best wings in SF!"
"Ordered the chicken tikamasala and it was very flavorful with a good amount of chicken. Also the spicy goat with lentils really packed the punch so beware as they don't hold back on the heat! Garlic naan was definitely on point too. Takeout took less than 15 minutes to be ready!"
