I am generally pretty critical about Indian places in SF downtown specially if they are North…read moreIndian. Most of them are pretty meh.. They may be decent in ambience but fails to deliver in flavour. This place is opposite - very basic in ambience but really good value of money. Food here is reasonably priced and the quantity and quality both are above average. I have been to Raavi in last and my experience was lackluster. But my recent experience was pretty good. I wouldn't say that flavour is top notch but for the money you are spending - I will take it anyday. I tried Karahi Panner and from the looks you can say it doesn't have the same look of Karahi Panner but it was still pretty decent. One of the SF North Indian spot where I don't mind visiting again.

I ordered the: (rated top to bottom)…read moreGoat curry mango lassi garlic naan -- lamb saag(spinach lamb curry) onion naan paneer naan -- Chicken momos samosas Whole vibe was nice, I liked how they gave a complementary chai which tasted great after adding sugar. We ordered at the counter, got extra plates and water while we waited for the food. Goat curry was amazing as it was well seasoned and the meat was very tender. It was super savory so it was perfect for naan. Garlic naan was amazing because garlic out of the onion and paneer(cheese) was the best addition to the bread and curry combo. All the naan breads were perfectly made but onion and paneer wasn't outstanding. The lamb saag I would recommend if you like a thick spinach curry Chicken momos were nice and simple chicken dumplings Samosas weren't good because of how dry it was and it didn't have as much flavor even with the side sauces compared to the curry vibe: it had a homey vibe in a nice location of the city. It was clean with a very funny looking water dispenser I'd go again for the goat curry and garlic naan.

A little green leaf flourishing in north beach. This place…read morehas captured my attention, at first I was invited by some crew members that were staying in a nearby hotel. It's located at 943 Columbus Ave , in San Francisco. I make the trip from Marin with no hesitation. I have tried many Indian restaurants in the past this particular place is a better choice in my opinion. Since then the green Leaf restaurant has become my favorite Indian restaurant , I brought other people to the place as well as my own family. The family own business is friendly, has a good energy where the ambiance is apparent, where you would see many cultures brought together at this little place. The restaurant takes to go orders over the phone as well. You will be given a table number once you have ordered. The service is rapid when the food is ready, the self serving counter is kept clean and neatly organized. You can find utensils, plates and napkins ready. The kitchen team prepares the dishes, coordinates the orders at the counter and serving the meals as well. Nadeem and Mohammad Idrish are both kind and respectful, they are attentive to the kitchen and the guests making sure things go smoothly. Recommend dishes are popular with amazing flavors such as , the Tikka masala, lamb Or chicken Biryani , lamb kebab , chicken kebab, lamb curry and the chicken Boti. Yassine C.

Indian & Pakistani halal food…read more As soon as you walk in, you see the cooks, tending to the naan & roti, stirring the pots, all with the ease of seasoned professionals. You smell all the curries. Chicken curry is comfort food for me, so anyplace that's wafting with it is really speaking my language. You'd think that chicken curry would be easy to get right, but no. I've been disappointed many times. But not here. Biryani is another go-to for me, & again it's easy to assume that it's a hard dish to fail. That is not so, but they nail it every time. The biryani's here are moist & full of flavor. They're on the spicy side, even though we request mild, so be warned. Your nasal passages will be clear when you're done! Chicken tikka masala is not something I ever ordered before I met my husband, & he doesn't really order anything else. He is not half Indian like I am, so he gets a pass. Anyway, he raves about the CTM here. Roti & naan...all naan is not created equal. But the breads at Curry Leaf are a hit, not a miss. Incidentally, their papadam chutney (the green one) is the best in town. They should bottle it. You order at the counter. It's bare bones, with no frills. Just authentic Indian food. 4 stars

I ordered samosas and I thought an entree... the man even verified my order. The samosas come out fairly quickly. And yeah no. They were not good. Definitely fried in old oil and are store bought not made fresh. Because I was hungry and had traversed the cold and feces all over the place to come here I ate the samosas despite them not being great. Anyrate, the biggest issues was I had ordered samosas and an entree. After about 25 mins and me having to flag down the server the man comes to my table and I ask where the rest of my food was. He exclaims oh you ordered something else... I almost cursed. I requested my ticket and left. What an utter waste of time and a poor experience with poor food. Don't come here.

The steak and fries are definitely the stars of the show, but the "Triple Threat" drink really…read morecompletes the experience. It captures that nostalgic, sweet profile that tastes remarkably like a white gummy bear--deliciously fruity and dangerously easy to drink. The cocktail features a chili-salted rim that adds a nice kick, cutting through the sweetness of the drink and the richness of the steak perfectly. It's a great balance of playful flavors and sharp presentation. Between that perfectly tender, juicy steak, the flavor-soaked fries, and a drink that hits that sweet spot so well, Kinara is proving to be one of the best dining spots in San Francisco. It's a high-energy meal where every component actually lives up to the hype.

Had good flavors but the meat had way too much fat. The chapli kebab was also fine. Then tava chicken was fantastic. So flavorful and perfectly made. The chicken 69 was also fantastic.

Butter chicken - good in flavor - but had that quality of acidity that you know you're getting heartburn for the rest of the night. Roti - it wasn't roti, it was naan. I don't know if that's an oversight or an accident, or if they're basically the same. I could have asked but I didn't really worry about it because we were so hungry and there was also a building fire alarm during our dinner (absolutely no weight on this review at all, because why would it be lol!)

Since we were planning to stop by a chocolate shop afterward for dessert, we decided to order à la carte instead of the buffet. We were seated at a table at the end of the restaurant, which was perfectly fine. The food itself was very good, and we enjoyed what we ordered. Unfortunately, throughout our meal, we felt repeatedly rushed. While our daughter was still actively eating, multiple staff members kept coming by to ask whether we were done. By the end of our meal, at least five different people had asked us the same question. It honestly felt like we were being hurried because we had chosen the à la carte option instead of the buffet. If customers ordering à la carte during buffet hours are expected to finish quickly, perhaps the restaurant should reconsider offering that option during those times. To be fair, one staff member did apologize after my husband pointed out that several people had already asked if we were finished despite our daughter still eating. However, the overall experience felt uncomfortable and disappointing, especially when dining with small children. We came expecting a relaxed family lunch, enjoyed the food, but left feeling unwelcome.

First of all ambience is pretty decent - it's located at core of SF downtown and just having this much of space for restaurant is itself impressive. Then the Pizza itself was top quality. I really like a bit of crunch in the pizza base - I don't it sounds weird but believe me with Indian Pizza given the curry sauce and everything you would want that extra hardness. This pizza understands that and delivers exactly that. I did a to go - the only thing I can complain about is wait time. Given the place was not super crowded I would have loved a little faster service but that's okay. And the aroma really stands out - while on my way back to my office building - couple of people asked me which is this spot and where did you got this Pizza ... Smells great !
