"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. "

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.

"Honestly this might have been one of the best chicken tikka masala's that I've tried, the sauce was super flavorful, and the amount of naan you get for 4.25 is crazy. "
"I usually don't leave reviews, but Ocean Indian Cuisine is by far my favorite restaurant!!! It is so delicious and the staff is so friendly. I find that their portions are super large and you always get your moneys worth. The food is so flavorful you can tell they cook each dish with love <3"

"Shalimar is my all time favorite restaurant; great prices and even better food -- they have the best nihari, the best kebab (beef) and best chicken tandoori; naan is always fresh and fluffy. Overall truly can never go wrong with this place"
"I have tried all the Desi restaurants in the area the 31. Daal Masala is not as flavorful as it should be. Also the 10. Seekh Kabab Murgh in the picture shows three kababs however upon ordering they only provide a single one. However these two items are not very popular even within the restaurant I would recommend trying something else they offer instead. They are very nice people though"

"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."

"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 "

"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."

"Delicious food and easy, quick pickup! The paneer tikka masala had great flavor and plenty of paneer. The vegetarian biryani came in a very generous portion and was perfectly spicy. The vegetarian momos were plentiful and came with a delicious sauce, too. Overall, great portions and great food!"

"Top notch - I love any of their kormas, and the Momos are exceptional. their sauces, curries and dips are so fragrant and authentic - tastes like mom's cooking but slightly more elevated. 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."
"Excellent food at this new spot. The sauce on the chicken tikka was so balanced and delicious. The spinach with paneer was perfect, and even better with the mint chutney. We will definitely be back for dine-in."

"The flavors are so rich and aromatic, with tender pieces of meat perfectly infused with spices. The rice is fluffy and fragrant, and the portion sizes are generous. A must-visit for any biryani enthusiast!"
"The Chicken Biryani is well spiced and flavorful. And it's a large portion with a decent amount of chicken. Honestly, not much different from the dozens of other biryani-specialty places that have popped up recently—but cheap, and then there's a 50% coupon on top of that, so I'd definitely consider ordering it again (or, more likely, trying one of the other biryanis next time).
The Garlic Naan, on the other hand, is weirdly-textured, almost as if it weren't quite cooked all the way. If I do order from these guys again, I will skip the naan."
