    Butter Chicken
    Chad M.

    Amazing service. Our waitress was very helpful and accommodating. We had a party of 8. We ordered several dishes extra spicy. Food was good. The chili pakora was fantastic. Butter chicken was my favorite. A few others preferred the Korma. It's not my favorite Indian food in the Bay Area but it is good. Worth a visit if you are craving Indian in the mission.

    Saag Paneer Lamb Biryani

    Omg yum, I think this is my new favorite Indian/Pakistani restaurant. Service is fantastic and space is clean, spacious, and quiet enough to have a conversation. We ordered a rose, appetizer platter, paneer saagwala, lamb biryani, and a paratha. Everything was so incredibly fresh and the saagwala in particular tasted incredible. The plates look average size, but they're actually really filling because the chef is so generous with the proteins. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and clean as well. Not oily whatsoever. Really loved being able to taste all the spices and ingredients so distinctly. We were blown away. Everyone here is so kind and friendly and the food spectacular. We truly had a wonderful experience from the moment we set foot into the restaurant. Thank you for a wonderful date night!! We'll be back very soon :)

    Chicken Tikka Masala

    tldr amazing indian/pakistani food in the heart of the mission with standout fusion-y dishes like the paneer tikka masala biryani and samosa chaat one of my Pakistani friend's favorite spots in the city and justifyingly so! We ordered the samosa chaat, paneer tikka masala biryani (secret menu item/delivery menu), and chicken tikka masala! All dishes were amazing and had great flavor. samosa chaat was a fun play on samosa and had a great spicy chutney on top and a great way to kick off the meal chicken tikka masala had some dark meat and lots of sauce that could soak up in the buttery fresh naan paneer tikka masala biryani is definitely the stand out dish as it combines the best of two dishes - biryani and tikka masala! paneer was nicely seared and flavors were decadent and flavorful staff is great there and attentive for the most part! the restaurant is huge and has a lot of tables perhaps why they are considering shutting down but hopefully have the funds to open in a smaller place. wishing them well as the food is great!!! food 5/5 for creativity service 4/5 ambiance 4/5 value 5/5

    After almost 20 years, this San Francisco staple was on the verge of closing for good but has thankfully managed to keep their doors open so they can keep serving up the tastiest Indian/Pakistani food in the city. Stop by Aslam's Rasoi the next time you're in the mood for a fresh and flavor packed dinner. And don't forget to ask for their new mango lychee drink - it's one of the tastiest new items on their menu.

    Chicken Biryani
    Rahul A.

    Some of the best Pakistani/indian food in the bay! The pakoras were my favorite part of the meal. They were breaded lightly, and yet were unbelievably crispy! The chicken and lamb are juicy and full of flavor with an enjoyable level of spice. The biryani is not real dum biryani, but the rice is still flavorful and quite good considering. The servers are attentive and friendly and their interior space is huge. If you love dhaba style food (pakwan, shalimar, karimi) but want to go a step up in flavor and service, this is the place to go!

    So happy to be back here at one of my favorite restaurant in the city. Aslam Rasoi is always a hit if you're craving for some North Indian paki food. The service is great here especially the waiter and waitress that works here. Ambiance is awesome! And we got so lucky today with VIP parking in front. Chicken tandoori and Tikka masala is always a must here!

    The food is delicious. Best tiki masala I've ever tasted. The employees are great and have a very positive and pleasant attitude. The restaurant is very nice. From the bar to the table setting. I have recommended this place to a few people and they love it.

    They now have Tikka masala fries!!! And they are the best I've taste!! Staff is super friendly and it's a big space so I didn't feel cramped eating my food.

    Garlic and Plain Naan, Chicken and Fish Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chixken, and Chicke Briani Rice.

    Great service, great food, great ambiance! Everything was on point. We were greeted immediately with a smile and escorted to a table right away. We ordered the Garlic and Plain Naan, Chicken Briani Rice Chicken and Fish Tikka Masala, Lamb Vindaloo, and Tondoori Chicken. You have to come check them out. You will not be disappointed.

    The garlic naan, seafood tandoori along with the lamb was so great! Fun atmosphere!

Their Daal is rich, spicy (in the best way) and the sliced jalapeños really make it. Pro tip: You get enough for at least 3 meals - so get it for dinner and enjoy it for a couple lunches!

The plate came with lamb korma, rice, and garbanzo bean (chana dal), naan, and a regular soda/drink. OMG it was delicious! I haven't had good Pakistani food in a long time. The lamb korma had so much flavor, a little spice kick (loved it), and the chana dal was surprisingly good too. I hate any kind of beans but this was so good. My picky toddler even ate the lamb and rice! It was that good. My husband lamb wrap was a treat too. They had this sort of sweat relish, it went so well with the lamb. The lady who was at the front was SUPER nice, super accommodating. We had a crazy toddler. She brought over water and eventually came over and dropped our food off. We sat in the back patio. The guy who took our order came around and checked up on us too. Super friendly people! Definitely on our list when we do our annual SF visit now.

And the chicken meat inside didn't seem marinated and tasted bland. It probably would be better if they added lemon juice after it was cooked or had given us some lemons to squeeze over the chicken before we dug in. 3.5/5 MANGO HABANERO CHICKEN WINGS ~ the sauce was spicy and tangy sweet, but it doesn't seem like they marinate their wings. It's only the sauce that gives the chicken flavor. 3.5/5 The wings aren't at all crispy. And flavor was ok and could have been better. But what was off-putting was the smell of the wings after we boxed it up and took it home! It had this gamey chicken smell as if it was old chicken. At least none of us got sick, but I'll think twice about revisiting.
