    Lamb Tikka Masala
    Albert B.

    When I want to treat myself to a inexpensive and delicious meal I go to Chutney. I love ordering ahead and having it at home, eating it in the restaurant. I have always enjoyed the service. They are always courteous and friendly. The restaurant offers free tea with the meal at I never have had a problem finding an open table.

    This is a wonderful place close to the Hilton San Francisco Union Square Hotel. We ordered the tandoori chicken, lamb wrap, chicken kebab wrap, and chicken wrap. We had to wait like 10 minutes, but all food is made fresh to order. Delicious and tons of flavor. Also, owner told us that masala chai free for laying customers. Great for a quick lunch or dinner.

    Me and my brother came here for the first time after we heard good reviews (from Khabib). We ordered the chicken tikka masala and lamb vindaloo curry which we loved. The mint chutney was really good too.

    You cannot argue with the taste and utter magic that is of Chutney's Tikka Masala! The ambiance is basic, the service is hardly there. You risk your life navigating the TL if you dine in. And if you do dine in, you pay after you eat. I have been coming here & ordering takeout for well over a decade and continue to come back like it's a spiritual pilgrimage. Some things are worth all the compromises they can present. I love this place.

    You might not be impressed by the restaurant's presentation and decor, but the food here is really good. When I came here and saw no one was inside. I had a second thought whether we should try somewhere else. But, my friend insisted. We ordered two curries (one lamb and one chicken) and a chicken wrap. We loved all of them. They were all so tasty and creamy. I ate some fast, and that is how good that is. They also give out free chia milk tea. It was pretty good too. The people here are very nice. They spent time talking about their specials. I will come back or order take out next time.

    Chicken Tikka Masala Curry Garlic Naan

    Hot take, but the tenderloin is home to some of the best food in San Fransisco. I said what I said. Chutney is a halal Pakistani/ Indian restaurant that delivers. Making food for the heart and serving customers at break neck speeds, this restaurant is an essential for San Fransisco Muslims and anyone who enjoys this type of cuisine. Ordering delivery or coming in during Ramadan nights, chutney is the best in its class. The chicken is flavorful, the naan is fluffy, and the curries are to die for! The restaurant itself is a delight, and is so inviting for families and friends

    Food was so good! Portions aren't big but it's generous for the price you pay. Between my husband and I, we ordered chicken tikka masala, ground chicken and beef seikh, rice, and garlic naan. It all came to roughly $30 and it was plenty of food for us. The service was okay and the ambiance is very basic. It definitely gives off a false vibe. You walk in and order your food, sit down and eat, then go up to pay. The place is very chill. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Will be back.

    We had an outstanding meal at Diwali Indian Cuisine in San Francisco. We ordered the Vijayawada…read morechicken biryani, Gongura chicken curry, garlic naan, plain dosa, and the bone-in tandoori chicken, and every single dish was excellent. The flavors were authentic, well-balanced, and cooked perfectly. The biryani was fragrant and packed with flavor, the Gongura chicken had the perfect tangy kick, the tandoori chicken was juicy and smoky, and both the garlic naan and dosa were fresh and delicious. What made the experience even better was the exceptional service. The wonderful Indian lady who took care of us was incredibly warm, attentive, and welcoming. We enjoyed chatting with her, especially hearing that her husband hopes to retire in San Diego someday. She made us feel genuinely appreciated as guests, and her hospitality added a personal touch to an already fantastic dining experience. If you're looking for authentic Indian food with outstanding service in San Francisco, Diwali Indian Cuisine is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back!

    Visited on a Friday night around 7pm with two friends, restaurant had maybe 5-6 tables seated but…read moreplenty of open spots so was able to grab a table right when we walked in. Towards the end of our meal around 8:15 restaurant was mostly full but still a few open spots. Food: Okra Fritter - okay, solid portion size, sliced okra in a pakora like batter that added a hint of nuttiness and a touch of spice, served with tamarind and mint chutney for dipping, fried crispy, fairly dry and not oily Onion Persarattu - a thin dosa sprinkled with diced raw onions served with 3 chutneys and rasam soup, dosa was very lightly seasoned, didn't see any of the green gram mentioned in the description, dosa lacked crispness and ate a bit soggy, chutneys were okay but fairly bland Paneer Tikka Masala - minimal spice, creamy with a hint of tomato, okay portion size wish there was a bit more paneer to sauce in terms of ratio, need more seasoning and wish this was a touch saltier Service was lacking, tables were set with plates napkins silverware and two bottles of water which was nice. The rest was a pretty mixed bag, felt rushed to place our order once the group was seated they checked in twice in the span of 5min to see if we were ready. Food pacing once orders were placed was fine maybe 10-15min for dishes to be prepared and served. Once we were done eating staff did not check in to close out our bill for 10 min, when we finally did flag a server down we wanted to pay with blackbird so they told us to checkin and we waited another 5-10min before we were actually able to pay the bill. There are so many other great Indian spots in the Mission, would suggest those over this spot.Food felt under seasoned, service was lacking. I will say price point felt reasonable and maybe the kitchen and staff were off the evening I visited.

    If your baseline for Indian food is heavy curries that put you into a food coma by 9 PM, please…read moredelete your assumptions and get a reservation here immediately. Copra is an absolute masterclass in coastal South Indian cuisine that completely recalibrates your palate. The Fillmore space itself is gorgeous--dripping with lush greenery and high-end tropical energy--but the absolute culinary obsession happening on the plates is the real story. We ran through a massive spread, and honestly, the flavor profiles are loud, complex, and unapologetically bold. The Standout Drinks -Jaggery Sour It hits that perfect balance of sweet and tart, with the jaggery giving it a deep, complex molasses-like richness that pairs beautifully with the spice of the food. -Salty City: refreshing and addicting Food hits -Mysore Masala Dosa: My personal favorite of the night. The dosa itself has that elite, perfect crisp-to-chew ratio. Pair it with the tomato and coconut chutneys, a heavy dusting of podi, and that rich onion sambar, and it's pure perfection. -Thayir Vadai Chaat: A total texture bomb and another personal highlight. It's got this incredible contrast between the cool yogurt, sweet date chutney, and the crunch of the Madras mixture and cashews. -Varuval Sea Bass Collar: Absolutely phenomenal. The fish was cooked to absolute perfection under that heavily spiced varuval crust. The karavelli curry it sits in is incredibly rich, and pairing it with the clean, bright snowpea poriyal and basmati rice made it an elite main course. We also dug into the Shrimp Vennai Roast (smothered in a brown butter chili chutney that is pure crack) and the Slow-Cooked Octopus with that sharp jaffna rub and grapefruit. Dessert -Jigarthanda: You must save room for this. The frozen caramel milk bar combined with milk jam, nannari, and the crunch of candied cashews is elite-level dessert engineering. It's sweet, cooling, and the perfect antidote to the spice of the meal. Last but not least, you must try their filtered Indian coffee. It delivers a strong nutty subtle sweet flavor. Service is sharp, fast-paced, and genuinely passionate about the menu. It's vibrant, energetic, and entirely worth every bit of the hype. A shout out to Ser taking care of our group of 6. She helped us make decisions for orders as we were divided in what we want. Lol

    Beautiful restaurant, pretty good food, but the service left us confused. We ordered the truffle…read moreegg appam, rasam poori, chutney palette, shrimp vennai roast, bone marrow, dosa, and the coconut dessert. In terms of food, I loved the dosa, and coconut dessert. Loved the flavor of the rasam poori but two of them had holes in the bottom and leaked as we poured. The bone marrow and shrimp vannai roast were good as well. Unfortunately, the chutneys were very similar to each other and the truffle egg appam tasted too strongly of coconut, and I could barely taste the truffle or the egg. But still overall very good. The service was another story. We felt like the food came out at unreasonable intervals. We got the egg appam, bone marrow, poori, chutney palette, and shrimp in rapid succession one after the other. It barely fit on our table-- plates were half hanging off the side of the table. We felt rushed to eat it all because things were getting cold. It also happened to the table next to us and they had to ask the waiter to take something back to the kitchen temporarily because they couldn't fit it on their table. It was very odd and unexpected for a restaurant like this.
