I cannot recommend this place enough, whether you're looking for something for yourself or to share the city's great cuisine with visitors.

The garlic naan was the best I've ever had. Crispy at the end and edges and soft and light at the outer rim layered with salted butter on both sides of the bread with fresh garlic slices on top paired with fried garlic bits and cilantro bits. Would come again just for this appetizer 2.99$ 10/10. Momo chicken dumplings - not bad but both sauces provided are spicy. I can't eat spicy so I didn't get to dip my dumplings otherwise these may have tasted a lot better. Meat inside wasn't dry and had a light taste of curry with slight spice. Not a hit for me but could be if you like spicy. Chai was not my cup of tea but my friend liked it. Strong tea flavor but not sweet or creamy enough for what I like. Get if you like a more natural water based chai flavor.

It's Himalayan/Nepalese food, and it's got plenty of gluten free options (a must, and always looking for tasty places with gf items). They are labeled as such on the menu, making ordering a breeze. We ordered the kale chaat, as recommended by many Yelpers. I'd agree that it's worth an order. It's a powerful punch of flavor along with a mixture of textures, really lovely! We also ordered the okra, daal bhat, and momos (partner said these were just okay). Atmosphere is like a club/lounge, but don't let that deter you, it didn't feel shady or anything, just a little dark in lighting, cozy booths and tables, etc. Service was also great, and overall, we had a worthwhile experience here!

It was surprising that we were able to get served so quickly on a weekend night, but actually about an hour later, the entire restaurant was packed so we got lucky. I actually couldn't believe that I hadn't tried this restaurant until recently given how many reviews it has. Between the six of us, we ordered a variety of dishes to share for the table. Some of the things that we ordered included the butter chicken, the garlic naan, the coconut naan, plain naan, along with the chow mein with shrimp, pork belly small plate, the kale chaat, the daal bhat, and the chicken momos. From this list, my favorites were the garlic naan, the chow mein, and the kale chaat. Next time, I'd skip over the pork belly as it wasn't anything special. The coconut naan wasn't my favorite either but was nice to try something new. I also didn't really enjoy the daal bhat though I know it's a popular dish of theirs. To each their own. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back. I don't crave this type of cuisine too often, but when I do, this will definitely be the spot to hit up.

Yarsa Napalese Cuisine in San Francisco offers an authentic and delightful journey for the taste…read morebuds, making it a must-visit for anyone craving high-quality South Asian flavors. Based on my recent order, everything was executed beautifully, from the rich curries to the fresh sides. ​The Stars of the Show ​Chicken Tikka Masala: This classic dish was a creamy revelation. The chicken was incredibly tender, and the sauce struck a perfect balance--rich and flavorful without being overly heavy or sweet. It's easily one of the best versions I've had in the city. ​Saag Curry Lamb: A true highlight! The lamb was cooked to perfection, falling apart with gentle pressure. The Saag (spinach) curry itself was deeply savory and earthy, seasoned masterfully to complement the meat. It had a wonderful, comforting depth of flavor. ​Sides & Bread Perfection ​Yellow Rice with Vegetables: This was a vibrant and flavorful accompaniment. The rice was perfectly cooked--fluffy and separate--and the inclusion of fresh, tender vegetables (carrots, peas, etc.) made it a substantive and refreshing side dish. ​Garlic Cheese Naan: Absolutely essential! The naan was warm, pillowy, and generously stuffed with melted cheese and fresh garlic. It wasn't greasy, and the balance of savory garlic and gooey cheese made it irresistible for dipping into the curry sauces. ​Overall Verdict ​Yarsa Napalese Cuisine delivers an exceptional dining experience. The ingredients taste fresh, the spices are complex and aromatic, and the preparation shows genuine care and expertise. If you're looking for fantastic Nepalese and Indian classics in San Francisco, look no further. This place is a gem! The service was great ! The waiter was very friendly and it was a nice vibe in. The restaurant. ​Highly Recommended Dishes: Chicken Tikka Masala and Saag Curry Lamb.

The ambience and service is nice. However now I am wondering if Jhol Momo is a difficult recipe. While the dumplings were great I didn't feel the same about the Jhol broth. It didn't had the flavours - maybe needed more salting but was definitely lacking something which I can't pinpoint. I still have to give it to Seattle for having best Nepali Place so far when compared to SF, Vancouver and Seattle. On the othe hand - I really enjoyed their Mango Lassi - I wonder if they make it by themselves!

From the start we were impressed with the incredibly friendly service. To start, we got the fish pakora. Although deep fried, the pakora were crispy without being greasy or heavy, and had a nice fresh flavor when dipped in the accompanying mint sauce. For our entrees, we got the daal makhani and the mixed vegetable curry. Both entrees were very tasty, but our favorite was the daal makhani, which had a nice smoky flavor. We also got a side of garlic naan and Peshwari naan. Although I hadn't had Peshwari naan before and was skeptical about whether it would go with the meal with its sweet flavors, the filling of coconut, almonds, and sultanas was so delicious that it was my favorite part of the meal. Also, although it was sweet, it didn't have too much sweetness to create an imbalance against the rest of the things we ordered. Highly recommend this place for great food and impeccable service!
