"The best dosa in SF. They give 3 flavorful chutneys and Sambar. The dosa tastes fresh in their special packaging. The signature dosas are packed. Already ordered again "
"!!!!! IMPORTANT TO NOTE !!!!!
THIS IS AN ORDER ONLY PLACE WITH NO SEATING AT ALL. THERE IS NO DINE IN. YOU CAN ONLY ORDER ONLINE OR FOR PICKUP.
My husband and I have been on a serious dosa kick lately because we love dosa, and we ordered from ID Cafe the other day because it is just that amazing.
The food absolutely hit. Our favorite was the Vijayawada chicken dosa. It was packed with flavor, perfectly spiced, and incredibly satisfying. Everything tasted fresh and well made, and you can tell they really know how to do dosa right.
As long as you go in knowing it is takeout only, it is 100 percent worth it. If you are a dosa lover or craving solid South Indian food, this place is a great choice. We will definitely be ordering from here again."

"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 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."

I've ordered from this place 5+ times now in the last 2 months, and every time the quantity of biryani is plenty.
The taste is authentic and it's just consistent, which is perfect. I've tried 15-20 different places for biryani in SF, and this, I think, is the best one right now."
"Ordered Non-Veg Platter and butter Naan.
The platter had:
Chicken Manchurian – Really tasty and reminiscent of General Tso’s chicken, but less sweet.
Chili Momos – I had no idea what to expect, but these were excellent. The dumplings seemed fried, then tossed in a peppery, savory sauce with bell peppers and onions. The sauce wasn’t runny—it coated each momo evenly. It reminded me of a Chinese stir-fry, but lighter and less greasy.
Chicken Tikka – Tender, juicy, and full of savory flavor. Perfect with the butter naan.
Fish Fry (Swai) – This one surprised me the most. The minced onion sauce on the crispy fish was delicious! It’s more of a paste than a liquid, but the flavor was incredible. It even reminded me of fermented black bean sauces used in Chinese stir-fries.
Highly recommend this place. Will try other dishes next time."

"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 Dal Kachori (3 Pieces) and Fresh Jalebi were fresh and flavorful. The only Indian restaurant in San Francisco that i know which serves Fresh Jalebi, delicious!!"
"Excellent representation of authentic Indian food. I have visited them in person and also ordered on doordash multiple times. SF generally doesn't have great Indian food (great fine dining like Tiya and Copra), so Jalebi street perfectly fills that void. Highly recommend.
I just wish that their quantities are improved. It is slightly on the smaller side.

"This Kadhai Paneer is the closest that I have had to what we get in India. Has a nice tangy kick and is not overly topped with cream. I love how they do not skimp on the amount of filling in the Amritsari Kulcha. Would a 100% recommend!"
"I eat a lot of Indian food in SF, and I think Amber is the best - and has been for the last decade+! Their saag paneer and dal makhani (Amber) is the best ever!! Pricey but worth it for a special treat or if you're feeling like some great food!"

"Everything here is always delicious. Basmati Rice is nice and fluffy; Gluten free naan is airy and tender; Masala Chai is deep, rich, and warming; and the Mango Lassi is refreshing and evens out the spice. The Chicken Tikka Kebab is a great value and so much simply prepared healthy protein. I could eat a double serving each time; it's so good."
"We ordered 6 different things, including the chicken coconut curry, momos, and samosas and they were all delicious. The Coconut Chicken Curry was creamy and absolutely phenomenal with a good amount of chicken. The Momos were my favorite, definitely wothit, as they are big, well filled, and you get 6 of them for only $11! Also ordered the best roti I've ever had. Definitely coming back often. "

"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"

"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."
