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
Alison H.

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

Tandoori Fish and Saag Paneer

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.
Ruby G.

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!
Winny C.

Great experience with staff and food. Busy on a Friday night. Especially loved the garlic naan bread

Chicken Tikka Masala
Nicky C.

Aslam's Rasoi has such friendly service and they go above and beyond to take care of you! My family and I came here last week to celebrate a birthday dinner. They were able to accommodate a big party and to add the restaurant is spacious. We ordered a few dishes to share family style and so many different naan breads too. We ordered: Chicken tikka masala Lamb saag gosh Whole chicken tandoori Samosa Lamb vindaloo Chicken karma Lamb biryani Garlic and basil naan, plain naan, goat cheese naan Poori Papadum All the items such as curries we ordered mild due to the young children sharing at the table. All curries had a lot of sauce to dip your naan bread into. I wish they would've added a little more protein to their curries. We had left over curries to bring home too. Naan bread was nice and warm and we had extras. The poori and papadum was a family favorite and the children wanted more. The restaurant also made some spicy sauce on the side for us to try. Thinking it would be spicy and I wouldn't handle it.. it was not spicy at all and it tasted more like a brown stew. We were appreciative that they were able to make us some spicy sauce on the side. Thank you.

We both thought this restaurant was amazing on all level in all categories. my friend literally…read moresaid " No notes" ! I tend to agree but me being a foodie of course I have notes and all positive. This food, decor and service was unique, elegant, superior then any other Indian inspired food I have ever had! It was bold, colorful and extremely flavorful! The service was definitely 5 star, the decor is absolutely next level and takes you right out if this country. Its felt like I was having an experience not just a dinner. Highly recommend!

What a bummer... Food: 4/5…read moreService: 1/5 (one star for waters being refilled) Ambiance: 4/5 (very loud) Minus a start for horrible policies and unapproachable management. Reservation for 2pm for the pre-fixe menu ($70pp) on a Sunday. We sat down and ordered at 2:15. We got the food fast but also was rushed through the meal. It was 3:00 and they were trying to take our plates. They started to remove plates we were actively eating off of within a hour of being sat. They took a FULL bowl of biryani that we hadn't even eaten from. We asked for boxes and were denied, "We don't pack up food." Excuse me? I just paid $70 for a full meal and you won't let me take the leftovers that I paid for? The server was not engaged, was not able to answer any questions about the food, cuisine or chef. Maybe they were trying to close down at 3? If so, don't take reservations at 2pm. I was SO EXCITED to try this place. What a huge disappointment. I will not be going back but I may order togo because it was quite tasty.

The paneer butter masala was finger-licking delicious, and the naans were fresh and soft--they didn't even get chewy when cold. The chaats are a delight, especially the onion kachori chaat. The absolute highlight, however, was the dessert that shares the restaurant's name: Jalebi. Fried in ghee with real saffron and made fresh to order, it is the most delicious jalebi I've tasted in the whole of the USA. The hosts are a lovely couple running a family-owned business, and they truly have a calling for hospitality. When we visited right around closing time, they were still running around for hungry customers. Even when they had to turn a group away at the door, the wife immediately offered to pack food to go, bringing smiles to everyone's faces. She always finds a way to serve her customers. We really enjoyed our meal and hope to return soon!

For food we got the following: -Dahi Sev Puri - this was my favorite dish, really fun to eat and great flavors. -Chole Bhature - this was also great! The puffy bread was sooo delicious and the chickpeas were perfectly seasoned and delicious. -Bhel Puri - this dish was unique and was a good size portion, but not as flavorful as the other two dishes. It felt like eating a savory rice crispy cereal, but not in a bad way :P -Garlic Naan - pretty decent but nothing special -Jalebi - I was really excited to try this dessert. I looooved the texture (crunchy outside, with a gooey inside) but the actual flavor was not my favorite. To me, it tasted very similar to chlorinated water, and it was hard to get past that.. There was a different jalebi with a dipping sauce, and I wonder if that would have been better. They were out of it when we went, but I would try it again with that. Overall a really great restaurant, and definitely a place to try out if you're wanting a more unique Indian dining experience!

Tried the balti chicken this time and it was just ok. It could improve on service..while waiting for our food we wanted to order more and had asked the guy working there (packing all the food) if it would be a long wait to add 1 more thing and he just said they're too busy and can't....mind you there was an hour still before closing almost so this was a little disappointing. However, their food is always delicious and packed with meat! The lamb biryani is easily shareable between 3-4 hungry adults. Can't wait to return back!

This was my first time having dosa, and I loved it! Not sure how much this is a review for Upudi…read morePalace as much as it is for dosa... but Udupi made my first dosa, so they deserve some credit! Idly ($8): I love idly. So glad to have a place in the city serving idly. That is all. Medu Vada ($8): I think this was also my first time trying vada! It was good, but not as good as idly. It was fried but not oily, which is always a win. But it was drier and denser than I hoped for. Not overly so, but I think I just wanted it to be like fried idly but in a donut shape. In that case, I should have just ordered fried idly and let go of the shape. That's on me! Podi Masala Dosa (~$15): Super yummy. I loved the crisp and chew of the dosa. Potatoes are always amazing. And the podi added a wonderful flavor. The portion was great, and I was definitely full. Service was prompt and friendly. I would definitely come back. It's a cute spot with dosa and idly, so what's not to like?
