"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.

"This is my go to Indian spot - it leans more North Indian / Pakistani. The chicken korma is my favorite here - other restaurants it's less orange and more yellow and the flavor profile is different. The amount of pulao you get is awesome along with the garlic naan. This has been my spot for almost 15 years and the quality hasnt gone down. Nicest people too!"
"I LOVE Aslam's! Aslam's Rasoi has been my go-to for North Indian/Pakistani cuisine. Their murgh makhani is one of my favorites. I've recently become a big fan of the navrattan korma as well for a savory-sweet and creamy vegetable korma. So delicious. Keep up the good work Aslam and family!"

"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. "

"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. "

"Awesome, great addition to the neighborhood. Really good chicken tikka masala, but highlight is the Biryani. Huge, and superb, a great meal by itself. Should add chutney to menu. Note that the app misspells "indian" as "Indani" in name. "
"Everything was super tasty! The chicken tikka masala and mango lamb curry were full of flavor, and the malai kebab was really tender. Loved the garlic naan and coconut fish curry too. Kheer was a nice sweet finish. Great portions and packed well—will definitely order again!"

"I have been ordering from the place for years and the food has been consistently amazing. My favorite dishes are the vegetable biryani, the chicken boti, the lamb, and the Chicken Roll. However, the Chicken Roll and Mix veggie Roll are *packed* with raw onions, both red and white, to the point of insanity and the restaurant has removed the option to request no onions. So be warned if you get them. Amazing food regardless. Will order again and again. "
"HUGE portion of lamb biryani! It fed me for 3 days. Just a little too spicy for my taste. If you're looking for a lot of bang for your buck this is your place. "

"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!"

"The Naan Kati Roll was exquisite, just the right level of spice and just enough sauce without being too saucy. The paneer was fresh. The roll was enough food for a solid meal, definitely a new go-to lunch order for me."
"This is my second time ordering from Kasa because I love it so much!
Their Thali Plate is an absolute value for money. I love their chicken tikka (grilled), the gobi aloo and also the chicken tikka masala. The flavor is just like home!
Will keep ordering from here and will recommend it to everyone!"
