    Dessert
    Lizzie L.

    Ok ok ok! Yes, the most delicious and authentic (trust me I know, I lived in India for over 15 years) Indian food in S.F. I don't need to rant and rave about the food or how incredibly passionate and awesome Rita the owner is. All the other reviews say that already. I do want to give kudos to the chef for making such an outstanding dessert tray for us though. 3 different desserts and the gulab jaman was in the decorate ball. Exquisite! Magnificent! Touching to be served. Thank you, chef and Rita for another memorable dining experience.

    Very cute spot on Clement Street. Every time I've come there's no wait to be seated, the space can get full but never crowded. Service here is quick and friendly and they make great recommendations as well. The food is flavorful and spicy, they have a mild option too, but if you choose medium you do have to enjoy some spice!

    I went back again 2 years later and its still super good! It was empty inside today, which worried me but It may have been the time of day(2:10pm). At any rate we had quick service and the food is amazing, my sister has been to india this year and said it tasted very authentic to her. I was pleasantly surprised that it was as good after returning, thats rare these days. Tried something different this time and really enjoyed that! Whatever they are doing I hope they keep it up and have many more happy diners.

    Absolutely excellent!!! I've been dying to try Keeva and it did not disappoint. We arrived for an early dinner and not only did they have a highchair, they also had a kids plate/tray and water cup. Everyone who worked there was incredibly nice and friendly. The food was . We ordered dal, lamb saag, and butter chicken. We also got the naan/roti combo and goat curry. I hadn't had Indian food this good since I spent time in India. We capped it off with gulab jamun which can be super hit or miss, but this one blew me away. Can't wait to run it back

    Chettinad Goat Curry and Butter Chicken

    Friendly family establishment with great selection of food! Palak chaat was delicious - fried spinach leaves were crispy and the mint sauce at the bottom cut through the oil. The mango lassi was too yogurty and lacking in mango flavor.. The chettinad goat curry was yummy - goat was nicely cooked and the spicy kick was appreciated. The butter chicken was very tomato flavor heavy - almost reminiscent of pasta sauce taste..

    Keeva Indian Restaurant on Clement Street is comfort in every bite. If you're craving something homemade that brings you back to cozy monsoon evenings, this is the place. Enjoy delicious curries with a cup of chai, a glass of wine, or a cold beer, pure bliss!

    Explosive flavors and unique combinations prevail at Keeva, located in South SF on a popular restaurant street/area. As with anywhere in SF, parking is tricky and you may need to circle around for street parking since spots in front of the restaurant are usually taken. But it's usually not more than a 5 minute walk (just be prepared to parallel park). Love the ambiance here and the food even more. Keeva serves traditional Indian cuisine - curries, naan, tandoori chicken - with some extra flair. As a non-salad person, their salad was my favorite thing and I don't think I've ever felt that way at another restaurant. Great service and the portions are huge. Their chai is also to die for. I'd recommend coming here a little earlier for dinner since it fills up quickly. Come alone, with friends, or on a date - you'll leave happy!

    Goat and fish curry
    Nicole C.

    I am an SF native and I can't believe this has been my first time here at Keeva! This restaurant is sooooo good, the service is so lovely, and the ambiance feels so heart warming. It's not pretentious and has a really good neighborhood feel once you step in. I tried two curries ( fish and goat) and the flavors, chef's kiss! I wasn't going to have naan but once it was ordered and came out I couldn't help myself; it was so tasty!

    Goat or Lamb Biryani
    Winson L.

    I used to eat here all the time and I guess it has changed. I ordered via DoorDash the GOAT biryani, and anyone who has had biryani knows the meat is tender and the rice ain't dry. Mine was quite the disappointment as the meat was tough and what I did have needed quite the surgery trying to get it off the bone and the load of fat that it came with (see picture of post meal) The rice was colorful but dry and the saving grace was the raitha that came with it. Really disappointed cause I loved this place when I lived in the Richmond

    Ike S.

    Great meal! Fast service and good portion size. We tried a variety of dishes and they were all delicious.

    Omg you have to get this! First thing on the menu.

    Absolutely phenomenal. Loved the owner--I've worked in restaurants before, and I hope to have even a tenth of her charisma some day.

    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.

One bite instantly took me back home. You can truly taste the care and quality in the food. The tea was outstanding, and every single dish we ordered exceeded expectations.

Starting off with what was good though, their mango lassi is tasty and momo chili dumplings are so flavorful with great texture. I would say they excel at their doughs in general because their naan was also great (especially the onion stuffed naan). Their Sewa/kale chaat was also passable (but would love if the kale pieces were bigger so that beans don't cause it to be as soggy after a while). That being said, it seems like they could do a little better with packing a flavor punch for their other dishes. Their shrimp tandoori was good but nothing to write home about. Lamb biriyani was also good but could've been stronger in flavor. Chicken tikka masala seemed like it was lacking something (but not sure what...), and the artichoke pakora didn't taste like artichoke? Thought it was still decent... I also think their tamarind chutney could be a bit thicker in consistency (maybe like that of the mango lassi), the mint chutney was nice.

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

Unfortunately my experience here did not match the quality of food I tasted for dinner at the Rooh in Palo Alto several years ago. We ordered: - Dahi puri: unfortunately they came pre filled, so you couldn't do the fun poke-and-fill that makes this snack fun. The filling also seemed to be just pure yogurt. No potato, no mint chutney, no tamarind chutney. Bland, I'd skip - Bombay pan bahji: an artisinal take, with butter brushed soft rolls and a pile of lemony and buttery mashed filling (with a slight kick!). Delicious but requires assembly - Vegetable kofta: the dumplings themselves (falafel-like) were pretty bland, but the gravy/sauce was a heady mix of saffron and cardamom that addicted your tastebuds with its sweet and savory combo. Soak up with some saffron rice - Signature paneer pinwheels. 3 pinwheels (like a sideways paneer lasagna) in a smoky sauce. Again the sauce really carries this dish - soak up with some saffron rice - The garlic naan was dry and tough. - They didn't even have any chai?! Logistics: - indoor seating only - Limited street parking nearby but walking distance from T muni line and 4th & King Caltrain station - several vegetarian options available
