I love spicy dishes, but normally restaurants lower the level of spiciness to appeal to the greater public. So happy to find that, at Sherpa House, the spiciest option is actually spicy! * "Hot" is the spiciest level and I loved it, but I recommend most people order mild or medium Everything I've ordered has been excellent. This includes: Sherpa's Lentil Soup Explosive chicken Himalayan salad Chicken Makhmali Sherpa's Special Thukpa Mint chutney Vegan kheer I ordered the Sherpa's Special Thukpa when I was sick and it's the best thing I've eaten in a long time. The restaurant was kind enough to include the vegan kheer with the soup and it was like a refreshing kiss after a long hug. I highly recommend ordering both together!

This fairly new restaurant is super cute, cozy and had that authentic vibe upon entry. We were greeted warmly, then scored the awesome super sized table near the window because of our party of 6. Overall, the place felt homey and I appreciated that we were able to have a lively conversation without having music or typical restaurant noise to compete with. Our order: The Momo platter $17 Explosive chicken $14.95 Sherpa mix grill $23.70 Kukhura lamb tulsi $20.95 Chicken makhmali $20.95 Shrimp biryani $20.95 Dudh chiya $3.95 Mango lassi $4.95 18% gratuity was automatically added, which brought our total bill to $165.22 Portion wise, I have to say each dish was small and between the 6 of us, we were really only able to get a few bites of each dish. I also found that most of the flavors were not very strong, as I'm typically used to. I do have to admit that our party had request mild in the heat level but even the garlic naan was pretty bland and it didn't taste or smell like garlic, even though we could visibly see lots of garlic flakes on the naan. My dudh chiya was also lacking in tea essence, ginger, cloves and cardamom -- basically tasted like steamed milk... I wish I was more impressed as I did appreciate the warm service and overall ambiance.

The gentleman took our order right away at the counter. We ordered Karachi chicken, 1 quarter leg of tandoori chicken, Saag Paneer, garlic butter Naan and basmati rice. As always the Karahi chicken is bursting with flavors. The spices were spot on. I love the cardamom seeds, ginger, tomato sauce, turmeric, I mean I can go on, lol. All these spices does wonder to your health. The tandoori chicken was moist, very tasty with lots of umami flavors. The Saag paneer is one of our favorite and goes well with all the dishes. It actually helps calm the spiciness on the Karahi chicken. It is well made and we enjoyed every bit of it. The Garlic butter naan was crunchy and savory and great with the Karahi chicken sauce and the paneer. We almost ate everything. Only had a little Karahi chicken left and Naan. Yes, we were very full!!! Love that feeling, lol. It's always a delight coming here. My hubby and I are always satisfied. We have been coming here for a while now and the flavors and consistency of the food is always spot on. Until next time, I look forward to our next Pakwan meal!!!

The beautiful Indian paintings on the walls also create a lovely, relaxing vibe. They play modern Indian music, which is great to listen to, though reducing the volume just a touch would make it the ultimate background music. The buffet offers a fantastic variety, and everything was delicious. The naan is served fresh and hot, with a choice between plain and garlic. With plenty of meat and vegetable options, it's definitely a crowd-pleaser for vegetarians too. For dessert, there was the classic Gulab Jamun and delicious rice pudding, which was wonderful. While not included in the buffet, the chai was delicious, perfectly sweetened, and served in a generous mug. The owner and staff are super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

"Authentic" is one of those words that gets thrown around in reviews of ethnic restaurants without…read moremuch thought behind it. People use it to mean tasty, or familiar, or just different from a chain. That's not what I mean when I use it. To me, authentic means the food isn't pretending to be something it's not, that the flavors and intention come from a real place: heritage, roots, memory. My benchmark is simple. When someone who grew up eating this food says it tastes like home, that's the review that matters. That's the one I trust. Keeva earns that word. Rita is the heart of it, but Keeva is a family labor of love and you feel that from the moment you walk in. When the restaurant first opened she told us about the dream they had to bring the taste of home to the people of San Francisco, and you could feel it. Her kids were often playing in the restaurant when we'd stop by. That kind of detail tells you everything about what this place is. What made me a regular wasn't just the food, which is delicious, it was Rita coming to every table, checking in, teasing us about why she hadn't seen us in a while, steering you toward something you hadn't tried yet. She didn't do this selectively for certain customers. She did it for everyone. That kind of warmth is rare, and it's the whole reason eating out is worth doing in the first place. The dishes are made with intention. You can taste the difference between food that was assembled and food that was cooked with purpose. Keeva is the latter. And if you ask for spicy, prepare yourself. I used to live about a block away and this was my go-to. Moving out of the Inner Richmond meant leaving Keeva behind, and I genuinely miss it. If you're in the neighborhood, what are you waiting for? If you're not, it's worth the trip!

The ambiance was not great -- the interior is all hard surfaces, when we went in there happened to be several babies, and their screaming plus the music the restaurant played echoed so much that we kinda hustled to leave because our table of 3 couldn't maintain a conversation. Looking forward to returning at an off-time for a more peaceful experience! Or maybe they will install some soft/absorptive materials :)

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!
