We were 4 adults and an infant and the service was very acccommodating despite being busy. We ordered butter chicken, garlic naan, samosas and vegetable chow mein. The interior is beautiful with high ceilings and a mural. Would come back! read more

Easily one of my favorite casual restaurants in the city. The service is great, everyone is so nice & the food is DELICIOUS! The butter chicken, lamb vindaloo & chicken momos are my favorite dishes, but I've never had something from here that I didn't like. Love this place read more

Amazing food! Na'an was fantastic, shrimp vindaloo was pff the charts, the chicken curry was great. Salty lasi wasn't as salty as is typical but actually had a meaty umami that was great. And the young nepalese girl working was soooooo cute and was excellent at service. read more

Love this place!!! The butter chicken, chow mein, and gobi manchurian were all incredibly delicious! We'll be back :)

Very fast and friendly service. Waiter comes to check in on you often and make sure you're doing okay! Smaller restaraunt, but usually has space. Super solid indian food as well! FOOD: Garlic Naan (7/10) - Solid garlic naan, but a bit too crispy / burnt for my liking. Still goes well with the curry Chicken Tikka Masala (9/10) - One of the better ones that I've had in the Bay Area! You can adjust your spice level as well :) read more

I first went to Trisara after work to catch up with friends. There was plenty of seating around 6pm, and the service was fast too. We went for the Chicken Jhol Momo and Butter Chicken. The momos were really juicy and slathered in a nice tangy sauce. The butter chicken was also pretty solid, it had the familiar creamy, tomoatoey flavors one would expect. My main qualm is the lack of spice in both dishes, as I've come to expect in Indian/Nepali foods read more

Came here for a quick bite while in the area. Service is great. I will say food is just okay. Not the best south Asian food I've had but gets the job done. I went especially for the momos and they were just okay. Yummy but I wouldn't come back for them. read more

Came here for a quick bite for dinner with friends. The service was nice, food doesn't take that long to come out. The okra was okay, it tasted kind of stringy like it was a little old. The garlic naan was very greasy. But the two main protein dishes we got were tasty and had good flavor. With half the dishes being okay, idt I'd come back. read more

I visit SF fairly often for work and everytime I do, I make sure to try a different Indian restaurant. It's one of my favorite foods and I love trying new spots while traveling. It had been a minute since I had tried Nepali - Indian food so when I discovered this restaurant on Yelp, I decided to give it a go. It was only a few blocks from my hotel and their menu looked great. I went with my favorites - samosa, garlic naan, and vegetable korma. It was ready and waiting for me when I arrived and everything was packaged well. The samosas were perfectly fried with a delicious filling of potatoes and green peas. They came with a tamarind sauce for dipping. When I order these they typically come with a mint chutney of some sort, so I would have loved to have that option as well. The garlic naan was a wee bit too hard in some spots, but the chewiness was spot on and it was a great vessel for my korma. The korma itself wasn't super flavorful, but it was creamy and the vegetables were cooked just right. The serving size was also pretty hefty. I found the prices of everything to be extremely reasonable and ordering online was easy. While it wasn't one of my favorite spots, it was yummy and filled me up and even left me with some leftovers. read more

A little gem of a Nepalese place in Union Square. It seems simple from first view, but every thing they make, they serve with love and excellence. I had classic chicken Tikka masala with butter naan, and the spices were beautiful, fragrant, and delicious. Staff is kind, attentive, and truly care. read more

Food was great, really liked the Jhol Momos which are juicy and flavorful. Butter chicken and garlic naan were great too. Recommended!

Came here for lunch with coworkers. We got chicken momo, goat curry and okra. The servings looked small when it first got to our table but turns out it was just enough for our table of three. None of the spices were overpowering. Service was fantastic. Just keep in mind it takes some time to cook the dishes so probably can't come here if you're on a strict lunch break. Make sure you have ample time to wait. read more

We got the Garlic naan, samosa, and goat curry. The naan was really good. The curry was very flavorful, but the samosa I wish was fried a little more. Overall very good experience with nice staff read more

Really great goat curry and naan--it's a great atmosphere and the service was fantastic!

This place deserves 5 star and I have good reasons for it. It is a Nepalese place but you will find the menu pretty similar to Indian. So what's the difference - it is how Nepalese food is made. I tried the Spinach chicken and I can totally feel authentic Nepalese taste. More turmeric, slightly higher salt, super soft chicken likely cooked in cooker with more liquidy gravy topped with generous amount of cilantro. All very typical of Nepalese style of cooking. Even the Mango Lassi was pretty solid - felt fresh and not going sour whatsoever. If there was anything which was a little underwhelming - it was the Aloo Paratha. It was good but it was made like Bihari/Nepali style. If you are expecting Punjabi style paratha - you will be disappointed. Ambience is ordinary but given the place is located in SF downtown, I won't complain. read more

Came back here for a light lunch over the weekend and brought my girlfriend. Shes really big into Nepalese/Indian cuisine and she loved it. We split a chicken tika masala with some garlic naan and this was perfect for two people. Food was piping hot, flavors were wonderful, and definitely looking forward to coming back. Trisara is definitely a local gem! read more

Stopped by just for the Chai tea, and it was exactly what I needed. I was also really impressed by how clean the restaurant is..The staff members are wonderful. Definitely be coming back next time for a full meal read more

The food was absolutely delicious! My family and I came here and ordered fried rice, chow mein, chicken tikka masala, raita, paneer pakora, vegetable momo's, and butter naan.

Very tasty. I was surprised. Best dishes was the chicken curry and the chicken korma!

Trisara is the real deal. I don't like to go to the same restaurant twice when I travel but Trisara is a culinary experience that I will never regret experiencing again and again and again. The food is just so so flavorful. The appetizers amazing, the entrees the perfect size for sharing and the desserts indescribable. Add in a very quick and friendly staff in a relaxed setting and you are dining in one of the best restaurants in SF without spending an engineers salary. read more

GOAT CURRY Bone in goat meat cooked in authentic Nepali style in house special sauce, herbs, and spices $19.99 4/5. Goat was cooked perfectly and was super tender. Wasn't very gamey at all. Service was good. read more

Best Nepalese food in San Francisco. Great prices! Delicious! Order food to share for the table so you can try several dishes

The food is really delicious and a unique mix of cuisines. I knew it was probably good but didn't expect just how good. We ordered the garlic naan, the mix of chicken/veggie momos, goat curry, and the chicken tandoori. They even gave us a complimentary small side of tamarind sauce. All was delicious but to keep it short the chicken tandoori was the star for me. Beat tandoori I've ever had. They brought it out smoky charred meat flavor, and it was so flavorful and juicy, not dry like some tandoori. For sure will be coming back. read more

Such an amazing find! The Malai Kofta is a must-try and the momos are equally good. Loved that they use fresh habanero paste to adjust spice levels--so much better than regular chili powder. Super warm owner and very friendly staff. Will definitely be back! read more

Welcoming and authentic Nepalese food in downtown San Francisco for a reasonable price. We ordered the chicken momo ($11.99), palak paneer ($14.99), lamb vindaloo ($15.99), and tandoori roti ($3.50). The food was all very good and enough for two people. The palak paneer and lamb vindaloo serving sizes are on the smaller side though. Chicken momo: highlight of the meal, so well seasoned! Palak paneer: hearty pieces of paneer in a creamy palak sauce Lamb vindaloo: good but surprisingly sweet. I also do wish there were more pieces of lamb The service is attentive and friendly. The interior is clean but a bit outdated. Do be aware though that there is a 3% credit card surcharge. I do wish we had been informed before paying so that we could have chosen an alternative form of payment. read more

Little hole in the wall open late in the financial district. Food was amazing and service was fast and so reasonably priced. Definitely worth the stop in if you're looking for something great! Chicken tikka masala and butter chicken had just the right amount of spice and the garlic naan melted in your mouth. Not sure what the crispy things were, but my colleague ordered them and I couldn't stop devouring! read more

This place was amazing! The service was 5 stars, the staff were funny and accommodating, let us use our Yelp check-in a few times even though we had 4 people. Good: - The yelp check-in got us a free samosa and tea - these were already pretty great for being free! - The momos were super tasty - I liked how they had a ton of flavor packed into pretty small dumplings - The garlic naan was really good, felt not too oily - Palak Paneer was my favorite - seemed to have small portions but I actually divided this into two meals, the paneer cubes were well seasoned and chewy Bad: - It took some time for all of the food to arrive, and I ate a lot of the other stuff before we got our entree so I took the rest home! - The place is super casual, nothing fancy but it's clean! Overall I was a huge fan of this place, it felt like a hidden gem and I would definitely recommend for someone looking for some quality food for a great price. read more

Small unassuming place in the FiDi. Dropped by for lunch.

Five stars, absolutely! Hats off to the sweet and humble owner of this restaurant for nailing it. Fresh produce with a homestyle Indian spin was what I was seeking, and this restaurant delivered! The ambience is that of the simple Chinese restaurant that stood here before Trisara - functional and tidy. The dishes were flavorful and custom prepared. And let's not forget to mention the service with a smile. read more

Everything we ordered was average. Chicken momos slightly above average but momo chutney was nothing spectacular. Absolutely avoid Gobi Manchurian - it was s#$t. If you're hungry or in hurry, you probably would be ok but if you're looking for something delicious that you want to enjoy, then choose another place. read more

Food and service was good but there was no mention of a credit card surcharge until they bring over the handheld credit card machine directly to you. So it's already an added fee. The server doesn't mention it either upon ringing you up; it's simply a small disclaimer on the screen. I think there also was a 3% health surcharge on my bill. Neither of these extra charges were reflected anywhere on their menu, which I believe is required now. read more

A bit light on the Nepalese with really just two kinds of momos. Though there is a pretty good listing of Indo-Chinese dishes which taste distinctly different from regular Chinese food. Unfortunately a lot of those more interesting menu items are not part of the steam table lunch combo, so you'll need to order them from the menu separately. Chicken Momo: A Nepalese standard and pretty solid as far as momos go. Nice spiced minced chicken ball inside a thick dough wrapper. And that signature pasty spicy momo dipping sauce that is way better than soy & vinegar sauce. Very hearty and filling. Gobi Manchurian: A uniquely Indo-Chinese dish. The cauliflower is dipped in batter, deep fried and tossed in sweet & spicy stick sauce. The smaller pieces are excellent because they're still crunchy when they get to your table. The large pieces don't quite have as nice a texture plus the surface area to veggie ratio isn't as good. Lots of great flavor, though not particularly filling. Vegetable Chowmein: A little wetter than regular chowmein with some subtle Indian spices mixed in. Lots of lightly stir fried veggies to give contrast to all the carby noodles. Though the noodles kinda felt like boxed dried spaghetti rather than fresh springy Chinese noodles. The ketchup served on the side actually works well with it. It was interesting to try, but probably not a repeat. read more

Great restaurant overall. Great food especially! All the entrees were fresh and piping hot! The flavors were spot on. Portions sizes were good not too big. The best part was that the food was not too rich and creamy. It felt authentic and hearty. The service was also good no complaints! Will go here once again for the fresh, light and fragrant food that is not too rich and creamy. read more

I'd put together a list of nearby restaurants with gluten-free options for a celiac friend/colleague, so Trisara made the list for having marked GF items on the menu. We'd walked up together from our hotel but while she was waiting for two orders, samosas caught my eye on the menu and I asked if they'd be quick about preparing them. They were! $6.71 for two samosas which were delightfully tasty. read more
