Remarks

You can imagine my SHOCK when an Indian friend of mine stopped complaining and genuinely recommended a place to get Indian friend in San Francisco.

We left this place heavy after having ordered to much, and returned within a week.

Vegan stuff is clearly shown on the online menu, but make sure you check with them on the day. They're new and sometimes varying the preparation. But they understand veganism well and will warn you about things and help. The couple running the place are incredibly nice.

Not shown, but the dosa is the way to go here. They've got nice churneys with it. I'd get the Andhra Kaara Dosa which has an extra chutney coating the dosa. I would honestly try to get a dosa without the potato masala so you can get more stuff. The chana masala (chickpea curry) is incredibly good, but they said it's vegan some days and not other days. It's super creamy. The dal and korma were also tasty. The gobi 65 was a little greasy and fast-foody, good for the right occasion but not our favorite there.

Last sampled 15th June 2025.
