    Tikka Masala Slice
    Ina N.

    Fast, convenient, good price! Service is nice. They currently dont take cards- online order or cash only.

    Ron G.

    I've been meaning to use this place for you but completely forgot. I went 3 weeks back almost 20 minutes before closing the guy's there were super nice and I asked for some different sauces on the side and also could they whip me up? Maybe tinderi chicken sandwich which was another menu but they had tendery chicken and they had sandwiches and they're like hell. Yeah, we'll try it out and try some sauces and then give a ton of fries Given that it was like I want to say 11:30 a.m. and it's not too far from the tenderloin there only was two other people in the restaurant and then four doordash drivers came in the 20 minutes that I was there to get other orders. These guys gave a ton of food and researching and mentioned that they were even working till 1:00 a.m. sometimes before, but they were having trouble recruiting people. Loved coming here and definitely we're dropping again for a late night bite, they really loaded up my food and nowhere else in the city have I gotten such a big sandwich and a ton of fries that was basically two meals for me for $15 and especially not at 1130 where nowadays one burrito is $16 cash.

    Personal pan combination Pizza for $7.60 (Delicious)
    Sam V.

    I found this pizza place late night, I loved their pizza, so delicious and good prices also they have Indian food, I will try out next time. There is only one pepperoni left in food warmer and almost closing time, I told one of the front employee, I guess he's the owner, I wanted other combination slice but don't want him to make the whole pizza, he said he can make me a slice combination for me no problem. Came out is like personal pan pizza, I didn't expected that bigger than a slice pizza usual and it's cost only $7.60 included tax, good price, good customer service and quality pizza. I ended up ordered to go for my Sons tor the whole Himalayan Pizza chicken which is their specialty pizza only chicken but he added Beef for me, so delicious. Highly recommended for anyone.

    I'm in my room on Golden Gate Avenue very good, fresh food and I think they accept food stamps too.

    Friendly staff good food and they take EBT cards! I've had their Hawaiian pizza, tiramisu cake, garlic cheese bread and Philly cheese steak sandwich. All were very good and reasonably priced.

    Chicken Tika Masala
    Ricky E.

    I really enjoyed this meal! The chicken tika masala was packed with flavor and spice. I ordered the medium spice and it had some kick to it. If you're sensitive, ask for the least amount. The meal came with basmati rice and the chicken separately. Great price too. I really loved the rich flavor of the chicken and creamy texture. The color was a rich deep orange. Smelled amazing. Tasted amazing. Highly recommend.

    We ordered takeout and man was it delicious! The portions are massive so a medium pie is extra filling. We got 2 medium pies and 2 momo orders for 5 people and couldn't finish it. I cannot comment on the ambience as I ordered takeout, but the pics look nice!!

    We ordered this for one of our event at my workplace. We ordered mainly paneer pizza, queen veggie pizza, and tandoori pizza. The problem is, 2 of our participants were Jain, which can be very hard to accommodate. I called them back and forth to ensure they could make some adjustments for the food and Nabu and Santosh were one of the few places who's willing to accommodate such hard request, and the only one who really went above and beyond on the request. They're really kind and flexible! The food's arrived on time and still warm too. Very delicious and flavorful, all of our participants provided great feedback on food. I love their paneer pizza. I think it could use more cilantro, though. But still very lovely. 10/10 will keep them for our next events!

    Goat platter
    Tien L.

    Best kept secret in SF. I've been here twice so far and each experience has exceeded my expectations. During my first visit, I had the goat platter and my goodness. Not only did it come with a large variety of bites (cucumbers, salad, vegetables, bean masala, pickled veggies, goat curry, sweet rice dessert, naan, rice), everything was so well seasoned. In addition, I had enough leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day. The goat platter was served on a beautiful stainless steel tray that had various partitions for the different dishes. (Where did you get this tray?! I've been obsessing over stainless steel dinnerware because they don't break and therefore can last forever which reduces waste and makes the Earth happy. Thank you Himalayan Pizza and Momo for making the Earth happy). During my second visit, I had the goat biryani which came with a side of raita (yogurt). The yogurt complements the spices so well. There were so many different spices in the dish that I lost track! Again, the portion is so generous that I had to take the rest home, which ended up being enough for both lunch and dinner the next day. There are several tables inside and they are open for indoor dining. Each time I've dined in, there have been plenty of tables from which to choose. Service is great and very considerate. The staff came over to check on me because they were concerned the biryani would be too spicy. They even tried to take the spice level down a notch for me. The biryani ended up being the perfect level of spice. I needed two glasses of water to calm my taste buds but that's how you know you're at a great restaurant. I know what you're thinking. You're wondering if you should be ordering biryani from a place that also sells philly cheesesteaks and pizza. They are catering to a wide range of customers given their location next to the Tenderloin and Civic Center. I can't speak to the pizza since I haven't ordered it but I see a lot of people come in and out of the restaurant ordering both the curries and the philly cheesesteaks. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu items!

    Royal paneer pizza, small
    Sydney J.

    I saw online that they offered a $5 off discount for your first time if you use the link on the restaurant website to order through Allset, so my partner and I used this so that we could order a royal paneer pizza, small, which is 12 inches. The food was ready on time and space-efficiently packaged in a pizza box which is just the right size, they also included some cheese packets inside the box. I was rather underwhelmed by the flavor of the pizza, however. I actually felt it was under-spiced and under-sauced, I would've liked a much richer heartier flavor and the paneer also tasted relatively plain due to this. But if you like paneer, then this could be a plus if you prefer to just be able to savor the taste of the paneer itself, which they cut into fairly large cubes. The flavor profile is dominated largely by cheese and onion. There was a little cilantro, but not enough to be quite noticeable. Overall, I'd consider the flavor more of a 3.5 (if Yelp allowed half stars).

    Tikka Masala Fries, Fried Chicken MoMo, Chicken Momo
    Thien-Kim B.

    We just came out of the Orpheum Theater on a Thursday night at 10:30pm and came over to this place looking for a place to eat that was open late and this was a short 5 min walk!Located in kind of a sketchy corner, we were the only customers when we walked in but two other parties popped in after us. They had nice, no nonsense service. We dined in, as did the other two parties. We got the Tikka Masala Fries, Fried Chicken MoMo, Steamed Chicken Momo. The fries were bathed in cheese and sauce. Very yummy. The momos were also so, so good. Hit the craving for sure. I liked the fried momo a lot, and the steamed ones hit the spot perfectly. Orders seem to be freshly made since it took until 11:00pm for the food to come out (which probably isn't that long, but it was late and we were hungry). Solid place! Would likely come again if I'm looking for an open-late eatery.

There was a bottle of water on each table. The food came out in three pretty silver bowls. The nice metal bowls added to the experience. The chicken tikka masala was the exact right amount of spice. Not too hot, not too mild. I could taste the butter and the chicken was perfectly cooked and moist. The rice was rice. It was exactly what I expected and cooked fine. The cheese garlic naan tho... good lord I could eat 100 orders of it. Insanely good. So much butter, cheese, garlic, and hot out of the oven (or wherever). I would absolutely order it again. I spent about $30 on everything (16 for entree, 3 for rice, like 5 for naan, then tip). For $30, I was stuffed and it felt like a great value. Ambiance was nice. I already mentioned the bowls, but the music was just Indian bangers. I didn't know any of the songs, but two of them in particular were so good that I wish I had asked what they were. Like electronic Indian party music. So good. Will definitely go again when I have time to kill in the area again.

    As a neighborhood resident who was genuinely hoping to have a reliable, go-to Indian spot nearby, I…read moream writing this review in the hope that management takes this feedback seriously. I've visited Diwali Indian Cuisine a few times since opening--initial visits were acceptable, but my experience last Friday was deeply disappointing due to clear corner-cutting in the kitchen. As an Indian customer, I know what well-prepared, authentic dishes should taste like, and what was served fell far short of basic standards. To be fair, the core items--the tandoori chicken and the dosa itself--were well-cooked. However, the accompanying elements, which are vital to these dishes, were unacceptable: * The Cilantro Chutney: The green chutney had clearly turned and begun to ferment; it had a distinct carbonated fizz on the tongue and an off flavor. Serving spoiled chutney is a major quality control issue. * The Sambar: Exceptionally watered-down and lacking depth or flavor. Stirring it made no difference--it tasted as though unboiled tap water had simply been added at the end rather than integrated and simmered into the dish during cooking. * The Coconut & Tomato Chutneys: Both were bland, diluted, and lacked the fresh, balanced tempering expected of traditional chutneys. There is no excuse for serving spoiled or watered-down condiments, especially on a Friday going into peak service. When a kitchen starts cutting corners on the fundamentals, customers notice. While the convenience of having Diwali right in the neighborhood is a huge plus, the current lack of quality control makes it hard to justify coming back--especially with so many exceptional options nearby in the Mission that do not compromise on freshness. I want to support a local business, but quality needs to be restored. I hope management uses this feedback to tighten kitchen standards and rebuild the quality control that neighborhood regulars expect.

I can guarantee you, Apna Chulha will serve you 1st class dining experience. You can be vegan, seafood lover, or meat diner, they have a range of options for you. I went on a weekday, at 10pm, it got filled with very happy Indian groups and families. That should give you a hint. If you had a difficult day, this is the place to go. Your heart will be filled with ease, compassion, harmony, and peace. The owners, the Mrs is from London, a daughter of Californian almond orchard investing family, took my orders and asked many questions and I gave her the freedom to select the dishes for me. The chief chef, the Mr. is from Punjab, India and started his business in London with his brothers. London Indian restaurants experience a high competition there. Their handsome, tall, polite, sharp 2nd son is there helping everyday. They used to own an integrity restaurant in Half Moon Bay. I am a former resident of top of El Granada Blvd. So, I know. Those are picky diners. This is not their first rodeo. They opened this restaurant a few years ago during the toughest time when people were closing restaurants and stores. It's a love and respect filled tight family. They love people and genuinely love serving the best food. I ordered about 8 people worth of food and it added up to be $201 USD. It was It was such a well presented dinner, I tipped $65. ($25 in 5 of my lucky money flowers, $40 in loose cash). It turned out $25 per person + tip. After my dinner, we talked about the food industry and what makes it continue for generations. The Mr. showed me his 30+ year old pan that he's treasured. I'll post the photo of the pan. It was bent with holes in it. He held the now retired pan like it was a baby. This is a high ceiling large restaurant, large windows, with elegant Indian decoration. It is deep, and wide. If you are claustrophobic, you will feel at ease in there. Their toilets are gender separated, large, beautiful, and clean. Any lady will feel comfortable to fix her makeup in there. Mothers will feel comfortable bringing her children to wash their hands. They have a large bar with TV screens which was not in use on the evening I dined. There are 2 seated tables next to the windows for perhaps a romantic dinner date. Stunning plates, proper cloth table napkins, and respectable silverware. You can have a family gathering, birthday, anniversary, corporate party, graduation party, come after a baseball game, just need to delight yourself alone for a breather, or a late night snack after checking into your hotel. Even if you are staying at the Fairmont, Ritz Carlton, Four Season, Intercontinental, Nikko, Hilton, don't go to Indian restaurants near your hotel. It's a 10-15 minute ride, reserve a table at Apna Chulha. At the end of your dinner, order their Samosas to take home. It will be worth your time. Samosas - burst with flavors in your mouth. It will get your appetite going. Spinach curry - deep green, thick with large chunks of cheese. Compliments all their naans. Garlic, Onion, Chili Naans - bite worthy, crispy on the outside, soft in the inside. Substantial flavors. Mango Chicken curry - Takes you to heaven. Lamb curry - the huge lamb chunks melt in your mouth Eggplant curry - fragrance of the eggplant spread in your mouth. Shrimp curry - Those are huge shrimps. I have a big mouth but one shrimp was so big, I couldn't add any naan nor rice with it. Plump, juicy and fresh shrimp. Fish tandoori - fresh, juicy, not over cooked. Mango Lassi - very thick with lots of mango Chai - not over sweetened. can taste all the spices clearly. I had one at the beginning and one at the end.

Lunch buffet items included: * Paneer Makhani * Fish * Goat Curry * Butter Chicken * Tandoori Chicken * Aloo Gobi * Egg Roll * Rice * Naan * French Fries * And several other dishes Some of the buffet items didn't have name signs, so I wasn't always sure what I was eating. There were also a few items that weren't available when we first arrived, so we had to wait for them to be replenished. I liked the Tandoori Chicken and Butter Chicken. The Paneer Makhani was just okay. The vegetables were also just okay, and because there weren't any signs, I wasn't sure what some of the vegetable dishes were. The two desserts were a little too sweet for me. Although the restaurant mentioned that almost all the food was prepared mild, some of the dishes were actually spicy and not mild. Our group had mixed opinions about the buffet. A few of us, including myself, don't eat spicy food, so the difference in spice levels was noticeable. The restaurant also offered us free chai tea, which was a nice gesture. Overall, I would say the owner was trying his very best. He was the only person working in the restaurant during our visit. He was making the Tandoori Chicken, preparing and serving food behind the counter, bringing water and drinks, and bringing extra plates for the buffet. With one person handling so many things, it was understandable that some food needed time to be replenished. For $20, the all-you-can-eat buffet is a reasonable option, especially if you want to try several different Indian dishes. I hope they can add clear labels for the buffet items, indicate which dishes are spicy, and keep the food replenished more consistently as the restaurant gets busier. Lastly, I'll come back and give the lunch buffet another try.

    Good takeout / self serve type of service. Water out front and extra cutlery and plates too…read more The food was pretty good and super filling as expected. I really liked the naan here, it seems house made! Also huge. Curries hit the spot. Chicken saag was a bit too heavy / oily for my liking but the chicken was super tender yummmmmmmmm. Really awesome prices for the amount of food you get and the quality of it. For dine in it does get pretty hot since the restaurant lacks some ventilation. Theres a few outdoor tables which are awesome to eat at on a nice day. Great place to drop in after a long day for a super filling meal

    With so many choices in the mission this standout for Pakistani food draws crowds for a reason…read more Upon entering, que up to the register and place your order. Tonight's selections were Lamb Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala, and samosas. Once issued you buzzer, spin around to collect beverages, sauces, plates and silverware. Find a seat till the buzzer does its thing. Our food was prepped within 5 minutes and piping hot. The volume of food was amazing for the cost. The lamb was large pieces in a mix of basmati rice, herbs, spices and perfectly tender. The heat from this dish alone didn't require much. Samosas were serviceable and could stand more crispiness. The garbanzos were flavorful and tender. I'm
