Wow! When my mother comes to visit here in San Francisco, she insists on have Indian food at least once during her trip. Needless to say, we've been to many of different restaurants, Rose Indian Cuisine is our new favorite discovery! Superbly prepared food with authentic use of spices, and vibrant atmosphere with modern/traditional decor (a single rose at the table). Exceptionally gracious service by Tara and Dennis made it a delightful experience. + plenty of parking nearby + generous portions + fairly priced Not a thorn there at the Rose! read more

Amazing! The food was fresh and delicious and so flavorful. The restaurant was beautiful and clean with nice single stall bathrooms. Our server was excellent and very attentive. We got the chicken tikka masala, the Kashmiri chicken, and the coconut vegetable curry. Everything was exceptional with generous portions and good quality meat. The samosas were fresh and crispy and came with a delicious trio of sauces. 10/10 will definitely be coming back. read more

First time tonight and was super AMAZED. The service here was amazing. Food---phenomenal. We ordered the butter chicken masala, biagan bharta, rice and naan. Fantastic. Definitely recommend 10/10 read more

Massive Yummy Naans, Perfect Tandoori, Kind friendly staff and simple mid-century retro-style yet modern decor. Friendly pricing too! Oh and a long stemmed rose on each table. Nice! TANDOORI CHICKEN- Served on a HOT Iron Platter. NOT burnt to a crisp, but very moist and tender, and plenty of flavor with just a slight char here and there. It's tough to get this dish right, but they nailed it here. One of the best Tandoori Chicken Dishes I've ever had. (Easy 5/5!) BASMATI RICE - $3.50 for a deceptively small-looking bowl that is almost endless for two people! Moist long grain and flavorful. GARLIC NAAN & PLAIN NAAN - both were absolutely HUGE, tender and soft on the inside and just crispy charred just enough here and there as they should be. 4.8/5 - I think there could be a tad more garlic on the naan, but I'm probably just being picky. BUTTER CHICKEN - thick and creamy sauce, tender chicken. On point 4.3/5. VEGI PAKORA - beautifully fried in fresh oil.. Kinda wish the pieces were a little bigger,and maybe wish they had a small side of Raita to accompany this. Maybe I should have ordered one of the other pakoras or a samosa instead. (3.5/5) Mango Lassi - on point yummy. (4.8/5) I'd definitely come back again for the Tandoori and Naans and maybe check out the curry dishes next time! Getting Here: Easy Transit access via the N Judah Light Rail, along with a public parking lot just outside. Street parking can be challenging being so close to GG Park and 9th/Irving district. This is a good place for a date or just a casual night out. read more

I had a great lunch here, if you're looking for an Indian restaurant in SF, definitely give them a try. Curry dishes are always a must, the Butter Chicken Masala was tasty as expected, it was a flavorful and delicious bite. We also got the Lamb Vindaloo, which I enjoyed trying. It is a sweet and sour sauce base with hot chilis and spices. Naan is a must to dip into the curries and the Kabuli Naan was an interesting one on the menu that we wanted to try: it is stuffed with seasoned coconut, raisins, cashew, and cherry. The Chicken Biryani made for a delicious rice dish and the Chili Chicken Momo had great spicy flavors. Complimentary chips, cauliflower, and Kheer (rice pudding) called Kheer was included. read more

Stopped by for a casual dinner for two with a friend, but we left feeling like we ate for 4! I was very pleased when we sat down and opened the menu to find a very affordable price range. Naan was about $4-$6 depending on which flavor you get, the curries were mostly less than $20/each, and rice was less than $3. I was very intrigued by their unique naan flavors so we got the mint naan and the chili naan. I wish that there was a stronger mint flavor in the naan because I was excited to combine it with the curries, but it was very subtle. Still tasty! The staff was very accommodating and really pushed to get everyone to try more items on their menu. For us and the table next to us, they brought us complimentary pakora with all three of their chutneys. The restaurant itself had very bright table settings with warm lighting and walls + decor. I will definitely be back to try more! read more

The food was excellent, and the new location looks great. It can get a little noisy during busy times, but overall it's a great place to eat. One strong suggestion: please replace the TV with a speaker for music, or at least upgrade to an ad-free music service. During our meal, the TV was playing music videos but kept interrupting them with loud ads - including prescription drug commercials - which really pulled everyone out of the dining experience. If you're using YouTube or another ad-supported service for music, the premium ad-free version would be well worth it. It's a small investment that would make the restaurant feel much more polished. read more

I made arrangements ahead of time for a group to dine at Rose Indian Cuisine for a total of $30 each person, including tax and gratuities, and they delivered spectacularly. We had a variety of dishes to give us a sampling of their offerings. We started with vegetable samosas and baingan pakora (fried eggplant). They brought two bowls of raita and a nice chutney along with some dipping sauces, of which only one was spicy. We had two kinds of naan, plain and garlic, some rice, papadam (one of my favorite items), chicken vindaloo, tandoori chicken, lamb tikka masala, chana masala (chickpeas cooked with tomatoes and onion), and aloo palak (spinach and potatoes). The two bowls of Kheer (rice pudding) were served with 4 spoons to each bowl, but after one spoonful, only one person could finish the bowl without double dipping; I would suggest a different dessert or small individual servings next time. Service was wonderful and they were very understanding when two diners didn't show up; I was not charged for the two missing diners. I would definitely return for the great service and food. I hope they're successful and can maintain a steady stream of customers! read more

I always see this place with quite the foot traffic inside so I decided to try it for myself! Came in on a weekday a little after the lunch hour and only 2 other parties were seated. Multiple pickup/delivery service orders so I had high hopes. I was not disappointed. Had the garlic naan - 5/5 perfection! So fluffy and MASSIVE. Delicious indeed. Butter Chicken - 4.5/5. Pretty large serving with a lot of curry. I ordered spicy and it had a little kick but nothing major. Very creamy, good flavor. Basmati rice -3/5. Disappointed as it was really dry. Definitely older rice. I was given a chai at the end of my meal and it was warm and delightful. Service was superb! Gentlemen were very attentive and sweet. Inside is spacious and clean, music videos playing from the TV. All in all 4.7 stars from me! I'll be back to try more from their menu! read more

Rose Indian Cuisine is hands down the best Indian restaurant in the city! I'm a regular here, and it never disappoints. Every visit is consistently excellent. This time we ordered the coconut chicken curry, butter chicken, garlic naan, tandoori chicken, and samosas--and every dish was absolutely delicious. The flavors are rich, authentic, and perfectly prepared. The butter chicken is one of my favorites, and the garlic naan is always fresh and flavorful. The restaurant is very clean, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is outstanding. The staff is attentive, friendly, and always makes you feel like a valued guest. If you're looking for amazing Indian food, Rose Indian Cuisine is a must-visit. Highly recommended! read more

Rose Indian Cuisine - Sauces - Indian Near Me - San Francisco, California

We ordered the 2 person rose thali special which is a massive amount of food which was pleasantly surprising . However the flavor really lacked, I was expected rich and deep flavors typical of Indian restaurants. But just got a burnt taste for the palak pakora, and the saag paneer and the spice used to make our chicken tikka medium looked to be red pepper flakes. The ctm tasted heavily of cream and tomato without much else. The flavors did mature over time, but should be more in depth on first bite. Where's the cumin, coriander, garam masala, etc? The naan is pictured is huge! And the lassis were yummy although would have preferred the spices blended or strained for the salt one. The service was great and the team was kind. read more

My partner had previously gone here randomly and brought me soon after because it was such an amazing experience. First off the ambiance was very romantic, our water was served in nice glasses with a rose on our table and next we were attentively waited on by Dennis who actually recognized my partner from his previous visit which was very cool! Our food arrived promptly and we dug in! The food quality was very high. I typically leave feeling bloated from Indian restaurants but here I left feeling full but reenergized. I suspect it is because the ingredient quality is high, you can tell they source their materials well. I like their commitment to quality and sustainability. We got complimentary chai at the end, which was very sweet. Thank you Rose Indian cuisine we will be back soon! read more

Rose Indian Cuisine - The best (and biggest) naan! - Indian Near Me - San Francisco, California

We happened upon Rose after going to Golden Gate Park. Convenient location near the bus station. Our server was incredibly attentive and so nice. We loved our tikka masala and butter chicken and they were super accommodating of spice for us. The Naan is an insane portion size around the size of a football and so delicious. Really clean interior and service was very fast! Would definitely come back to Rose if visiting the city again read more

I've visited many Indian restaurants around the city and this is by far my top choice. It has become my go-to for Indian food. They have a great selection of curries from meats to fish and vegetarian, to tandooris and Nepalese cuisine. The naan is fresh, the tikka masala is spicy! Everything you want of an Indian dish. This new location is very well lit, offers great vibes with the large windows to catch the liveliness of 9th avenue. The service is great. One thing I love about restaurants on 9th avenue is that they all feel like home, and the folks at Rose Indian definitely make you feel that way. If you're near or in Golden Gate Park and craving something spicy, delicious and warm, I recommend giving this place a try! read more

Very good naan, raita, lamb tikka masala and shrimp tikka masala. Service was prompt and friendly. Also very good bottle of Flying Horse beer. Plenty of light and clean modern atmosphere. We will return! read more

Stopped by for lunch with some friends over the weekend. The place was clean and has a cute interior. The menu was huge! We ordered: Garlic naan- ok/kinda soggy Aloo paratha- good, thin and floppy Butter chicken- delicious, loved the grilled flavor bits Paneer tikka masala- great creamy balanced sauce, very impressed. Would love to try it with chicken. Dal makhani- okay, not the star, a little bland Chicken korma- good, but not my favorite Kheer- very runny, but flavor was great. A little bit too sweet for my taste. Servers were friendly and water was refilled often. Great experience. Excited to try other dishes. read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday and left impressed. The service was attentive and the food came out fast even with a full room. Ordered Chicken Tandoori and Butter Chicken Masala-- perfectly cooked, generous portion, and clearly made fresh. The atmosphere hits a nice balance: lively enough to feel fun, quiet enough to actually hold a conversation. Prices are fair for the quality. Already planning to come back and work through the rest of the menu. read more

Ordered takeout, so I am giving them an extra star as I don't believe that's always a fair judgement. Ordered the butter chicken, saag paneer, and coconut vegetable curry. What it lacked in flavor I was hoping it would make up for it in portion size, as all other reviews were positive that it was a good bang for your buck. I cannot say any of that is true. No better curry flavor than any premade curry powder you can get at Safeway. Chicken was dry and sparingly included. Portions overall were miserly. Takeout Indian at the very least should be satiating even if not great. Unfortunately this place misses the mark on both counts. read more

Super tasty & flavorful. I got a pickup order and tried the onion kulcha, pappadum, and coconut chicken curry. Super tender and flavorful chicken, great creamy curry (mild had a nice kick of spice!), and kulcha was perfectly cooked / not soggy. My friend's palak paneer was good but perhaps a bit less creamy than I would've liked. Pickup was easy, and the restaurant interior looked clean and nice! read more

We just enjoyed a delightful dinner at Rose Indian. I am gluten free and they were knowledgeable about the gluten free items and even have gluten free naan, which is hard to find. The food is delicious and the portions generous. I loved my spicy tadka dal, othered enjoyed the chicken Tikka Masala, butter chicken and the tandoori chicken. They also have Himalayan dishes. The service was very attentive and willing to engage in a professional way. I highly recommend them. read more

We had heard about this neighborhood gem from a friend and had to go try it out. Roses melds Indian and Nepalese food. We shared the chicken tikka, rice, a garlic naan and some chicken momos. Everything was so delicious and Dennis, our waiter, was incredibly helpful and attentive. The prices are extremely affordable and the overall experience was fantastic. We will definitely be going back. read more

New to me, Rose, has been around in the Sunset for a while, but what a nice find in Indian cuisine. Enjoyed a great range of dishes with a fantastic spice level that I haven't seen in my other favorite Indian restaurants that'll keep us coming back. Being Indian/Nepalese, the combination of flavors is great from the momos to Tikka Masala, with some of the best naan I've had, and great attention paid to the vegetarian side of the cuisine. Service is great and very friendly and attentive as well. Come with an appetite. read more

We've been looking for a good Indian restaurant in the Bay Area for 8 months now and happened across Rose while wandering through the neighborhood. Not only was the service incredible and attentive, but the food was some of the best Indian food we've ever had. The restaurant itself was also very lovely, from the decoration to the vibes. Bonus points for the most beautiful red roses ever on each table. Will absolutely go out of my way to eat here again the next time I'm in the city. read more

They make the best Indian food I have ever eaten outside of Katmandu - which yes, is not India, but the closest I have ever gotten. The food is fresh, complex, delightful. The restaurant is lovely. The people hosting you are amazing. Truly, I would move back to San Francisco just to eat here weekly if not daily. Do yourselves a favor and eat at this amazing epicenter of taste. If I sound over the moon, it is only because the food is that good. read more
