Wow. And I mean WOW!! I've lived in the neighborhood for 8 years, and have always gone to a particular Indian restaurant that is solid, and the people are warm and welcoming. SO, when this new restaurant opened in their spot, I hesitated to go; I felt like it couldn't be THAT different. Tonight, I finally looked at the menu, was intrigued by some items I've never heard of, but then ultimately decided to order a few of the standard go-to dishes that I gauge by: - onion naan (kulcha) - VERY GOOD - chicken momo - VERY GOOD - shrimp tikka masala - BEST I'VE EVER HAD, didn't realize it could have this depth of flavor (almost a bit of wonderful char flavor, buttery, complex) - saag paneer - SAME AS ABOVE! Amazing food, and the warm and friendly service to match it. Only issue? Too full too quick. **Important note: my basic photo does not do the food justice! RUN DON'T WALK. read more

Superb service! J.D. went out of his way to accommodate us during the lunch hour rush. Food was excellent, they covered foods from all over India---North to South: Baigan Bhartha to Masala Dosas and Nepali Momos as well as impeccable filter coffee. Manoj is a phenomenal chef and he even brought us papads to take with us. Please visit them, you will not be disappointed!! read more

We were not going to eat here. We climbed out of an Uber here. We turned on Yelp and saw this was "new and hot ". The staff saw checking out the menu, and asked us come in. So we decided to give it a shot. Glad we did. We've eaten Indian food all over the world and we lived in Hong Kong and we ate it there a lot. This is on par of some of the best we've had. Everything was very fresh and had the right amount of spice. Breads are huge! Prices are reasonable, portions generous. Upscale setting with white table cloths and cloth napkins. The prices are not what you would expect from such a nice setting. Two of us chowed down for less than 40 bucks! The staff is excellent and cares about you having a good experience. If you love Indian food the way we do, be sure and check this place out while you're in SF. read more

We were looking for a lunch place for our graduation celebration. Picked this place based on solid yelp reviews. Our experience is consistent with other reviewers. Our party of 10 people had an excellent time today. The staff were very friendly. Food arrived pretty fast. They put it all together so well in spite of the many different dishes we ordered. Taste and spices were in perfect balance. Flavors may not be exactly authentic but I still liked the overall taste and the finesse. Everything was done as per our special requests. Kudos to JD and the chef. read more

We were looking at new restaurants and were excited to see Timur open up on 9th We got the meal for two and it was a great meal overall. Portions could probably feed 3 or 4. We are big eaters and we had enough for leftovers The meal for two had all the popular dishes and they were all good. We got to try a bunch of food for $60. The naan tasted fresh and came out hot. I liked that the outside texture was hard but the inside was soft and chewy. The team/staff were friendly and asked for our feedback on their food. The chicken came out on a sizzling hot plate on a bed of onions. Reminded me of the presentation of kalbi and it was really tasty If i had to give constructive feedback, it would be that we weren't into the dessert. read more

Wonderful food. Shame that I can't take it with me. :) place has good vibe, good service and good people

We were strolling through the Inner Sunset looking for dinner when a friendly staff member lured us in with a sign for a free glass of wine and 20% off the bill for first-timers. I am so glad we took the bait! Atmosphere & Service The restaurant is clean, spacious, and feels a bit "dressy" with crisp white tablecloths and neatly set tables. However, I didn't feel out of place at all wearing a hoodie and jeans--the vibe is welcoming. The service was top-notch. Harsh and JD were incredibly friendly. Harsh, in particular, was enthusiastic and asked if we wanted to go the "experimental" route. We said yes, and he steered us toward dishes not commonly found in other Indian/Nepalese spots in SF. The Food * Timur Chaat: An incredible starter that blends cold and warm temperatures with crispy, smooth, and chewy textures. The flavors were amazing and set the stage for the meal. * Jhol Momos (Vegetarian): Harsh recommended the veggie over the chicken for more flavor, and he was right. They arrive piping hot in a savory, tomato-y broth with a steady, black-pepper level heat. It's the definition of a juicy comfort dish. * Chicken Hariyari: Super tender, juicy, and moist. The flavor profile is very unique and incredibly savory. It was great on its own, but even better when dipped in the Jhol Momo broth and topped with tamarind sauce. * Medu Vada: Grounded, seasoned white lentils fried into crispy donut shapes. Harsh taught us the proper way to eat it: cut into fourths, sprinkle with salt, dunk in sauce, and immediately follow with a spoon of sambar (vegetable soup). A fun and tasty experience. * Sizzling Brownie: For dessert, this is a hot plate of chocolate sauce, sliced almonds, and a brownie, topped with vanilla ice cream. The crispy, burnt brownie parts stuck to the plate are delicious. It was a bit too sweet for my personal taste (I usually get 25% sugar for boba), but the ice cream was fantastic. Drinks Since I'm not a big wine drinker, Harsh kindly allowed me to swap the promotion's free glass of wine for a Mango Lassi. No regrets--it was one of the best I've ever had. Rich, thick, and packed with mango flavor. Welcome to the neighborhood, Timur! With sincere service and unique cuisine, this place is highly recommended. read more

Just an unexpectedly phenomenal experience are last night in San Francisco. I am late to readiness review as it was like 10 days ago, but I had it in my mind that I needed to write it because we had such a good experience there my girlfriend and I both love Indian food and this place had five stars, and it did for a reason. Our waiter/host was named Hash I believe although it's now been too long to remember his name exactly. But he was so wonderful and kind to us. The best thing he did was I asked him for advice on if we should get one thing or another and he definitively told us get this one dish it's gonna blow you away. He didn't use those words exactly but I really admire and appreciate when people working at a restaurant have enough of an opinion to really take pride in what is a great dish to recommend to people. We got a butter chicken and a coconut vegetable curry. But maybe to stand out where the Momos. The Nepalese dumplings I had been looking to try and Hash (or whatever his name was) told us to try a certain variety. He said we would not be disappointed and we were not. They were absolutely wonderfully delicious. Even when we got sat, we came in late and we were looking for a restaurant to eat at a lot of places were closed at around 9 PM in the sunset neighborhood. They brought us in and then sat us in a booth in the back very private very wonderful. Then at the end, they offered us this little dessert we hadn't ordered it. They just gave it to us to delight us and it was delicious. I don't live in San Francisco, but kind of wish I did just to be able to go to this restaurant more often and become a regular here. read more

Incredibly delicious food with a varied menu. We've eaten lots of Indian and Himalayan food, and this had much more nuance of flavors. Really kind staff that made great recommendations. It's on our short list of places to go in the city when we go to Golden Gate Park or the museums. Thank you! read more

Visited during their soft opening and had a great first experience. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and excited to walk us through the menu, which made the visit feel relaxed and personal. We were able to try a few items, and the quality was definitely there. The butter chicken stood out right away. We also really enjoyed the papadam as a perfect starter. Overall, the food felt thoughtfully prepared and exceeded expectations for a soft opening. Excited to come back and try more of the menu once they're fully up and running. read more

Hidden gem! Just opened in the inner sunset. Everything we had from the naan to the various chaats was fantastic. All the vegan dishes we had were amazing. Coconut tofu, Tadka Dal were perfect. Biryanis were great and so was the chicken tikka masala. The desserts were delicious also. We had the sizzling brownie and Gajar ka Halaw. So excited to have great Indian food in the sunset. read more

I rarely get truly excited about a new restaurant -- but this new Indian Nepali Malayali spot absolutely got me going. From the first bite, you can tell the food is made with care. Everything is flavorful and delicious, with spices that make you happy without burning your mouth. It's that perfect balance where you feel the warmth and complexity, but it never overwhelms. We started with the chicken momos -- slightly sweet, juicy, and totally mouthwatering. The sauce that comes with them is amazing and elevates the whole dish. The ginger garlic curry with lamb was spiced at just the right level -- warming you like a mild flame, deep and comforting without being too heavy. The coconut curry with okra was milder, aromatic, with long strands of spices that make every bite interesting. Vegetarians, rejoice -- this one is a winner. The naan was thin, fresh, and delicious -- perfect for scooping up every last bit of curry. Most importantly, the food is not greasy or overloaded with oil or ghee. You leave feeling satisfied but not weighed down -- like you treated yourself and still took care of your body. And the final surprise: complimentary carrot pudding for dessert. Absolutely addictive. I couldn't get enough. Highly recommend -- we'll definitely be back. read more

Delicious! Excellent Gobi Manchurian. Fellow vegans, they have an extensive vegan curry menu.

Pretty cheeky to open a new Indian restaurant on a block with two others and one more a block away. But I can now see why because this one is by far the best. I went there with my husband and two friends, and everything was wonderful. We ordered a few too many creamy entrees, so we were stuffed and had a lot of leftovers - not a bad thing. Favorite was the okra dish with coconut milk, Dhaman Bhindi. We also Timur Chat, Chicken Tikka Masala, Dahl Makhani, and Malai Broccoli. read more

A large group of my friends came to Timur for lunch. Service was attentive and excellent. The menu includes a large variety of Indian & Napalese dishes to choose from. Among our group, we ordered the dosa, chicken tikka masala, tandoori Chicken, Tandoori salmon, butter chicken, lamb kebab, steamed chicken momo, plain and garlic naan. All the dishes were flavorful with generous portions at affordable prices. What's really nice is that food was served on classy dishware, real cloth napkins and quality flatware. Will definitely return to this restaurant. read more

New establishment with new team, new menu, new ambiance and new enthusiasm. Ordered chicken 65, malai kebab and wine. I could not stop writing this review while munching the delicacies.

Excellent food, so delicious! We stumbled upon Timur after a long hike and enjoyed their steaming momos, soft garlic naans, hearty Kashmiri chicken curry, crispy medu vadas and creamy paneer tikka masala! The pappadum was super crispy and satisfying with the 3 dips. Each of the dishes we had were soooo good, really great quality! Service is top notch and beautiful peaceful ambiance. Will come back again! Thanks for the mango kulfi touch - our little one enjoyed it thoroughly . read more

Everything was fabulous. Great food with excellent service. Love that they are not afraid to bring on the heat. And the meats (had chicken and goat) were both incredibly tender. Guy said they source meats directly from farms. Extra special was the tandoori broccoli with yogurt. read more

I've been eating Indian food for 45 years. I still remember my first experience in SF when there were just one or two restaurants and falling in love with the flavors and spices. Timur reminds me of this. Ordered Daal Soup (a bit watery but still flavorful), Lamb w/Ginger Garlic Curry (good portion of tender fresh lamb in a great sauce), Roti (they wait to the last minute to bake so to come out nicely) and rice. Reasonably priced and a nice simple new interior. read more

Food was delicious, owner was extremely nice and offered very quick service. Would definitely eat here again.

This turned out to be a very good dining experience that is walking distance from the De Young and Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. There are a lot of good menu choices and the food really is excellent, all with friendly service. This will be a regular dining spot for me; they're doing everything right. read more

This restaurant is our new favorite spot. The food was amazing and the portions were large. We got the meal for two for $49 which included samosas, dal curry, chicken tikka masala, naan, rice, tandoori chicken, and rice pudding for dessert. It was all perfect and we left with a bunch of leftovers. They are having a soft opening and gave us an option of a free glass of wine or mango lassi (we went with the lassi and it was so refreshing). We will definitely be back in the next couple of weeks. Food was amazing, service was impeccable, and the place is very clean and open. Highly recommend trying this place!! read more

Beautiful delicious food. Terrific welcoming service. Looking forward to returning. You will enjoy!
