Every dish from the appetizers and entrees was absolutely delicious. Cocktails were uniquely tasty as well. Desserts were unimpressive, would probably skip next time. Service was great. The decor was lovely, had a Gatsby elegance. read more

Met a friend here and we sat at the bar. The cocktails were delicious and the service at the bar was amazing. The butter chicken, goat taco were delicious but the hamachi wasn't my favorite. The sauce was tasty but the hamachi its self was lacking flavor and cut quite thick. It's very much a date night kind of spot with a dimly lit ambiance. I would definitely go back and try the tasting menu. read more

Michelin worthy new Indian cousin. Beautiful interior that makes me feel like I am dining in a jewel box. Dishes are expertly prepared with extraordinary visual presentation. Everything we order tastes flavorful and on point. We had a wonderful time thanks to the professional and gracious waiters filling our wine/ water glasses all night and patiently explaining all dishes. We highly recommend this place! read more

Tasting menu with Wine paring, overall food was unappetizing and boring. Wines were equally unexciting. Party of 5 for 240.00 per person with 4 tiny courses? Sorry but this is the wrong cuisine for this type of experience. 1 seared scallop with some curry sauce, or a small piece of overcooked dry chicken breast stuffed with mushy flavorless bread with some Curry sauce. Naan bread was flavorless, Rice was flavorless. White chocolate ball filled with what tasted like vinegar Was repulsive. I was chocked by it and another guest spit it out. If you want Indian food then go to a well known high rated traditional Indian restaurant. Fancy, artsy, chef inspired Indian cuisine = swing and a miss. read more

Service is great with good ambiance but the food is just meh! Drinks (both cocktail and mocktail ) are sub par with nothing special. Limited options and average tasting fusion Indian food that will not stay in your mind or heart after you leave the place. Shout out to Akhshay - great server. I found Rooh and Fitoor to be far better options - both as an experience as well as food. read more

Mediocre food. Tender coconut payasam dessert was the only good item we liked. Ambiance was good but not to the level of fine dining restaurant. There are definitely improvements needed for the vegetarian dishes we tried on the menu - tandoori avocado, potato quiche, paneer curry. Yogurt chat was also ok, not exquisite. Taste didn't do justice considering the fine-dining tag the restaurant has. So either they must improve or remove them from the menu. Service was good. But at the end, we paid around the same as a person paying for tasting menu experience. And the server, made the us feel belittle by mentioning that they give premium service to guests coming for tasting menu. I hope they treat all the guests equally when both experience costs around the same. read more

I appreciate the blossoming and evolution of Indian restaurants in San Francisco. We have been in San Francisco for 20 years and it's nice to go to a high end restaurant and get signature cocktails and fusion cuisine but to pay $22 for two chicken wings that taste nothing like the cuisine from the place they are named after-Kerala. We are used to paying from the depth of our wallet but not leaving hungry after a $150 meal. If you nothing about authentic Indian cuisine and want a high end fusion Indian experience then go for it. Otherwise go to Rooh or another nice Indian place. The restaurant is swarming with staff so I get that they are looking for the next Michelin star but the cocktails are mediocre and the food too little so there we go.... read more

Tiya serves an elevated upscale experience. The keema, edamame kabab, paneer polichatu were some of the dishes we tried and were outstanding. The mixologist Thomas served some superior drinks and was very accommodating with our requests. Overall a 10/10 experience and will be back! read more

I was finally able to snag a reservation at the bar for Saturday night at 6pm! The service Izler & Siddhant took amazing care of us at the bar! They did a great job of explaining the menu and recommended some mind blowing items to order. The service was above and beyond. The Vibe Tiya's upscale modern interior is stunning! I noticed a dark green moody trend in Chef Sujan's restaurants and I'm here for it! I love the romantic aesthetic. They even have hooks for your purse under the bar . The Drinks The cocktail menu takes you on a tour of San Francisco with an Indian twist. I love the unique take on the classics. Izler and the team have done an amazing job crafting a cocktail menu that takes you on a journey. *Marina: Mango lassi in the form of a cocktail!! So good * Japantown: a refreshing take on a high ball * Castro Valley: Smokey, buttery and a very smooth old fashioned * Mission District: for the tequila lovers * Gin old fashion: probably my new favorite way to have an old fashioned * Martini with a twist: classicly delicious The Food You can only order small plates at the bar but there are plenty of delicious options to pick from. As always, chef Sujan and chef Pujan have curated a mouth watering menu! Looking forward to trying more next time. * Yogurt chat: loved the bird nest presentation of this dish. It's sweet, savory, tangy, & creamy all at once. * Lamb keema: Everything about this dish was incredible. I loved the spicy keema and the fluffy masala buns * Hamachi bhel: I've never had Hamachi with an Indian twist. So delicious and refreshing! * Tiger Shrimp: the shrimp were so incredibly buttery and flavorful read more

Date night approved My partner and I made a last minute reservation to Tiya to combat the Monday blues and had a wonderful time. To start, the restaurant is beautiful! Dark and moody - but in a good way of course. There were also little lamps at each table which I appreciated as some restaurants can be a bit too dark and I like seeing my food. The a la carte menu is split into smaller plates and larger dishes. We weren't sure how small the small plates would be and everything sounded phenomenal and so we ended up ordering 4 small plates and 1 larger dish. We also ordered 2 cocktails, a dessert, and a pot of chai. This was definitely way too much food, I probably could have stopped at 3 small plates, but we enjoyed our meal nonetheless. Goat Ghee Roast Taco (5/5): My favorite of the night! Meat was very tender and the dish altogether was very flavorful Paneer Bhurji Roll (5/5): Loved the contrast in textures between the crispy outer layer and the soft cheese filling Lamb Keema (5/5): Such a comforting and cozy dish, the poached egg added a layer of lusciousness and the side bread had a nice light spice flavor to it Parmesan Laccha Roti (3/5): Least favorite of the night for me, a bit too bland for me Butter Chicken w/ Garlic Naan (4/5): I'm not sure if maybe I was just too full by this point to accurately assess but this one had a very robust flavor, delicious but I felt like I couldn't eat too much of it - would be great for sharing though as there is ample sauce I forget the name of the dessert but it was nice and refreshing and presented very prettily as well. The drinks were a bit pricey but fantastic and quite inventive, drawing inspiration from the different neighborhoods in SF. Lastly the chai was a perfect and warm way to end the meal! Very excited to come back and try other menu items! read more

I've discovered one of the tastiest Indian restaurants in ages - Tiya. Good is sensational. And with an outstanding staff of chefs, servers and helpers it is just wonderful. In the Marina off Lombard at Scott. Took my enthusiastic epicurean attitude which is often a frequent critic of service and food quality. No complaints at Tiya, Only one compliment after another. Get a reservation now. Will soon be another Gary Danko. read more

OMG!! So good. We weren't sure about it. Loved the food and ambience. With Indian fusion the best parts are cocktails, appetizers and desserts. We usually fill up with that and share an entree or two. read more

I'm loving how upscale Indian food is becoming more prevalent in the world and Tiya is doing a great job adding to that. We stumbled across this place while looking for dinner reservations and thought we had to try it since the few reviews they had were all glowing. We had no clue they opened up at Maybeck's old spot, since we had a great time grabbing a drink there in the past and always liked their decor. But Tiya made the inside much better and it has a darkly lit vibe, along with some royal Rajasthani decor. I highly recommend trying the tasting menu for your first time here since you can try everything and the portions are perfect. Surprises of the night were the pani puri (might be the best pani puri I had in my life) and the jackfruit keema (it was somehow better than the lamb). The main sea bass dish was also definitely a highlight. Cocktails were all perfect and I would go back just to try more of them. Staff were all extremely friendly and even though there were some minor issues of giving us wrong dishes, they would immediately fix it and even gave us extra dishes for the trouble. Makes sense since the place is so new and we had no complaints. I can bet this place will be hard to grab a reservation at in the near future, so definitely check it out now while they are still new! read more

This was my second time dining at Tiya. If you're considering dining a la carte, I'd go for the Chaat and jackfruit taco small plates. The Marina mango lassi drink was great. The Paneer large plate arrived colder than expected, and our reorder of alcoholic drinks were initially forgotten, so we had to remind the staff a couple times to follow up. Hoping for a smoother experience next time! read more

Super glad to have finally found an elevated, fine-dining Indian restaurant in SF! Everything was very innovative with the right balance of flavors and attention to detail *chefs kiss* Service was excellent and the ambiance classy. We ordered the tasting menu and did not regret it. It's the perfect date spot although a bit pricey at $95 per person (+25% gratuities). Will definitely come back for the amazing appetizers especially! read more

Tiya was a solid fancy Indian restaurant, great choice to take my mom for her birthday. Ambiance- 5/5, super cute and classy Service- 5/5 Food- 4/5, honestly all items were delicious except one appetizer, see below- Cocktails- the mango lassi rum cocktail and vodka lychee cocktail were both 5/5, delicious and highly recommend these Food: Hamachi bhel- 5/5, so delicious and great mix of flavors Goat tacos- 5/5, I loved the consome as well and the taco was cheesy and perfectly grilled Paneer bhurji roll- 4/5, my vegetarian husband liked it! I thought it was good but not as delicious as the other apps Shrimp/tiger prawn- 2/5- this was the only dish I didn't like because the prawn was VERY fishy tasting as soon as I bit into it and then my mouth tasted fishy for a while after, I think the shrimp may have either gone bad or just not been fresh because I haven't tasted a prawn like that before. The marinade itself was delicious, the issue was just the shrimp itself Butter chicken- 5/5, sweet, spicy, creamy and delicious, tender chicken Lamb shank- 5/5, my parents loved this, lamb was very tender and flavors were similar to a biriyani Dessert- mango malai- 5/5, highly recommend, SO good and a perfect combination of flavors and textures Overall I loved everything except the shrimp! And I would recommend this if looking for a fancy Indian place. read more

I never leave reviews, but Tiya deserves it. This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the city and I would eat here every day if I could!! The drinks are amazing and Izler takes the time to explain each one, I loved the Mission District and Chinatown cocktails. The food never misses, from the tender butter chicken and lamb shank to the off-the-chain lamb keema and flavorful pani puri. Chef Pujan even came to our table to check in, and the desserts like the mango dessert and guava sorbet are truly unforgettable!!!!! read more

Went there to celebrate my niece's 21st birthday. The food was cold and the taste was nothing to savor. Not sure why this restaurant is accorded to Michelin status. Had similar experience at their other Palo Alto resturant Rooh. In this day and age where everything can be gamed, avoid this restaurant at all costs. Don't believe the hype and spend your hard-earned money somewhere else. read more

Got the tasting menu and the food was mostly good - a lot of unique flavors and spice. Make sure you read your check! I found a 21% (is that the new normal?) tasting menu service charge printed at the bottom. The waitress did not warn us of this charge, nor was it printed on the menu. It was not highlighted or circled on the check, either, as some places tend to do. It felt super shady/sneaky to me. Overall, tasty food, but overpriced tasting menu. Just go a la carte. read more

A classy, creative restaurant with solid service. (The cocktails named after SF neighborhoods are good!) But it's very overpriced for what you get. Beautiful presentation, but the portions are laughably small (like the tandoori avocado comes with a frail dosa that is so small). Both the small plates and main plates did not feel shareable unless you're barely hungry or order a half dozen or more. I'm all for creative, fancy Indian food but the tiny portions and giant prices make this a hard sell for me. I left hungry, which is not something you want from a fine dining experience. (Other fancy Indian spots in SF -- Rooh, Copra, Besharam -- seem to have healthier size portions.) read more

I had heard a lot of good things about Tiya in the past couple of months and was excited to try it but left feeling that it was overhyped. I went with another vegetarian friend and we split the paneer bhurji roll, the avocado tandoori, and the jackfruit cutlet. The paneer roll was by far the best dish - good texture and flavor and unique. Both the avocado tandoori and jackfruit were just fine. I honestly felt they both were lacking something flavorwise to bring the dish home. The avocado just tasted like roasted avocado and the hummus/peas weren't too flavorful. The sauce with the jackfruit cutlet was good, but the actual cutlet was just fine and also could've had more flavor built into it (also coming from someone who personally has a low spice tolerance). The asparagus also felt random in the jackfruit dish as well. My major pet peeve was that we were charged $9 for water which we found out when we got the bill. The server only gave the option of still and sparkling when I was seated, and never mentioned tap. Besides that, the service was good. Overall, I had high expectations for this place but left a bit disappointed, especially for the price point. Maybe we didn't order the right things or maybe they just don't do vegetarian dishes as well as meat ones. Either way, I don't find myself compelled to return super soon. read more

Came here for the first time with some friends last night. First of all the restaurant is gorgeous! The decor had an elegant art deco vibe with an Indian twist. The Service was fantastic! Everyone was so friendly and attentive. We even met Chef Pujan who is so sweet and you can tell he puts lots of love into his food. The food was excellent! Not only does it look beautiful with the plating and presentation but it actually tastes amazing. I've been to higher end Indian restaurants before and there always seems to be a bit of a miss. But at Tiya they aren't just putting traditional foods up in a fancy way, they are actually coming up with new concepts for flavors using traditional and unconventional ingredients. The mix between Indian and modern was perfect. I really appreciate the time spent on coming up with the menu because you could taste the effort in every bite. Plus everything except one item was halal! Would definitely recommend for a nice dinner out with friends or date night! Will definitely be going back again soon! read more

Tiya is a fairly new restaurant (opened ~7 weeks ago) in the Marina! Food was beautiful You can tell how much work they put into perfecting their flavors. And the presentation?! ‍ We weren't able to get a reservation for their tasting menu (we still want to try this) but the a la carte menu/dining room experience was great! My favorites IMO: Yogurt Chat (small plate), Paneer Bhurji Roll (small plate), Butter Chicken (large plate), Mango Malai (dessert). The ambiance is cool and moody -- great for a celebration or date night! We celebrated our anniversary here. Thanks for a great experience, Tiya! We'll be back read more

The interior of Tiya was beautiful, with a modern green finish and floral wallpapers. It was a bit loud, making it somewhat difficult to hear our server, but they were friendly from the moment we stepped in. Yogurt Chaat: I thought it was fine and I liked the yoghurt but wasn't sure what the hype was about. Shrimp: Spicy and meaty shrimp. One of my favourite dishes. Chicken Wings: Did not like these at all. They were too oily and I had trouble finding the actual chicken in them. There was some weird batter in them too? Sea bass: This was my main dish and I was a bit disappointed. It was tender and well-cooked but I felt the portion was too small for the price. The plating was nice, but I wasn't sure how the flower and foam contributed to the dish. Butter chicken: Tender and well-cooked, with a creamy and buttery sauce. I paired it with the saffron rice, which complemented the dish perfectly. Lamb Shank Roast: I only had a bite of this, but even from that, I could tell it was my favourite. The rice and the curry went well together and the meat was very tender. Definitely ordering this next time - I regret not getting it this time. Payasam: Not a fan of sweet dishes and this was not too sweet. Decent. read more

The food here is absolutely amazing!! All of the appetizers we tried were delicious, especially the one with the creamy sauce. Butter chicken was fantastic. Only complaint was the absurd $100 corkage for a magnum, particularly given how much we were spending. read more

Came here for the Valentine's Day special. Overall, the food was interesting, the quality of the food was very good, and the presentation is beautiful. The butter chicken variation and the pulled jackfruit roulade were definitely the highlights. -- Some of the dishes were kind of a miss, though. Not a professional critic, but the spices in the Morel Yakhni Shorba soup felt imbalanced with an overpowering cardamom flavor. The desserts weren't great either. I was expecting better service for the price, but it felt a little inhospitable. Our assistant attendant was wonderful, though. The organization seemed chaotic. As this restaurant advertised a Valentine's Day special, there should've been a more intimate space for a romantic evening. However, we were seated right next to a large, noisy group. -- The restaurant is clearly segmented into multiple areas, and some pre-planning would have gone a long way. Overall, it was good, but I've had better. If you choose to come here, I would recommend ordering a few dishes a la carte. The tasting menu did not feel worth it. read more

Awesome new place in the town to try. We found reservation for 3 people on Google for the same night for around 9:15 pm on a Saturday night and took it as we were in town. Looked at the tasting and ala carte menu and chose to go ala carte to try out items we specifically found interesting + save some bucks. Ordered mostly appetizers and couple of entrees. In hindsight we could have stuck to the appetizers and done just fine. Appetizers: 1. Tiger shrimp: rating 5/5 Loved the ghee and masala combo, ghee could have felt greasy but didn't feel so on my pallete Could have ordered another plate of this one! 2. Yoghurt chaat : rating 4.8/5 Unique, yoghurt texture was almost half foamy and loved the use of strawberry to bring the same effect as tomatoes in an Indian chaat. Lovely potato crisps on the top and the green plus tamarind chutneys were super smooth on your palette - almost like satin touch ! The group gulped this one right away. Lovely burst of flavors in your mouth hit at the right time which makes this dish really desirable 3. Lamb keema : rating 4.7/5 Loved the keema too- awesome pav on the side. 4. Duck seekh kabab: rating 4.8/5 Loved the artistic use of apricot on the keema. The sauce droplets on the side gave me a d maange more feeling. 5. Malai chicken : rating 3.5/5 Wasn't a fan of this one. Very creamy sauce - as if I was eating some white pasta Entrees: Jackfruit entree: rating 4.2/5 Good entree. Jackfruit based mashed filling inside a crunchy layer, with a rich tasty non spicy gravy. Growing up I have eaten jackfruit as entrees a lot - so this was a safe option to go for. We were ordering a veggie squash based entree but it was out of stock and the staff suggested we go for this instead. Enjoyed it but were too full from the appetizers already, only flaw was the filling felt a little uncooked in few bites as I worked through the dish. But overall a nice dish Butter chicken: rating 4/5 It was a good butter chicken. But not unique. It's a dish you'd order if you did not want to experiment at all as a first timer Dessert: besan Barfi : rating 3.9/5 It came with ice cream but the dessert was rather dry. No one on the table enjoyed it much It's hard to give point ratings to each dish. I'd say anything that I rated above 4 points I would recommend folks to try out. read more

Absolutely delicious!! The starters were beyond amazing- the tandoori avocado , cauliflower and peas with edamame kebab - I guess we ordered pretty much everything in the vegetarian section as they were so good!! Loved the sach paneer and the squash dumpling in saag curry - absolutely delicious !! Haven't enjoyed Indian fine dine soo much in recent times ! The taste was new and refreshing ! Service and ambience top notch as well ! Would definitely dine again. read more

Food was creative and delicious. Bar program was outstanding as well. Friendly service to boot. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartenders. It ended up being a great seat as we got to watch the cocktail prep, salad and dessert stations and the main kitchen. It doesn't sound exciting on the surface but there's liquid nitrogen in one of the desserts and 3-4ft of liquid being poured between tumblers so it's a fun little show. You can see the craftsmanship up close. We tried the tandoori avocado, lamb keema, duck kebab, potato quiche, naan, roti, butter chicken and daal. All was delicious! Not your typical Indian food and that's the point. read more

One of the best Indian dining experiences I've had in the US! The drinks were perfectly balanced--not too strong, not too mild, just right with a blend of flavors. The servers were incredibly polite and took the time to explain each dish, which added to the experience. We ordered a variety of dishes, and every single one was exceptional. The paneer bhurji roll was packed with flavor, with the paneer taking center stage--no other ingredient overpowered it, and the thin layer allowed us to enjoy the filling. The tandoori baby Bella sandwich stole the show--the yakhnji served with it was hands down the best I've ever had, and who knew zucchini flowers could taste so amazing? The chicken gushtaba with what I assume was an Amul butter gravy was another standout--rich and flavorful. The butter chicken was melt-in-your-mouth tender, with smoky marinated chicken pieces in a deliciously smooth gravy. Almost on every item they sprinkled Parmesan and truffle The Parmesan lacha paratha was made from whole wheat, and maybe other Indian flours, which gave it a fantastic texture. The garlic naan was equally flavorful and soft. To top it off, the ambiance was lovely, and the service impeccable. This place truly serves the best Indian food I've had so far in the US--can't wait to return. read more

Nice ambiance and pretty food. Flavors were really mild for Indian food. Drinks were tasty and original. Service was perfect except for walking in without reservations. They almost didn't seat us.

Love the vibe of Tiya, Great food and drinks! Definitely more on the upscale side. Service was nice and friendly. We tried their A La Carte menu, and every dish was carefully executed. I personally enjoyed Ghee Roast Goat Tacos and Tiger shrimp. Must try is their Mango dessert, it was perfect! We also tried their Jackfruit cutlet, it wasn't really good, didn't get the flavor and it was overly spiced. Overall we enjoyed our dining experience and would come back to try their Lamb Shank and anything new! read more

Beautiful restaurant and darling service! Oana was such a character and made us smile and laugh throughout our dinner. Her busser, Wylder, also made sure we were taken care of. We definitely were never running out of water haha. In regards to the food, it was very exquisite and absolutely delicious. The avocado was super light on the palette and it's delicate flavors paired together so nicely- definitely recommend this dish when just starting your dinner. For our large plates, our favorite was the Gunpowder Sea Bass. The fish was very moist with a subtle green mango and coconut sauce making each bite an enjoyable experience. DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THE DESSERT. I would not miss the opportunity to try the Chocolate Murmura Page again! Very rich and decadent dark chocolate with caramel and buttermilk ice cream on the side. This dessert will hold a special place in my heart. Trusting Tiya to serve us dinner, with the addition of our 2 hour commute here- they will definitely see us again. Superb! read more
