    The food here is consistently excellent and well prepared. The family that owns and runs the restaurant creates a very comfortable environment. We have visited many times and never had a bad experience.

    I’ve dined there before and this time I asked that my order not be spicy but of course it came out super spicy again. Would not return for that reason but the owner is super friendly.

    Best Indian restaurant in SF. Incredible food, just like in Bombay. The pooris with channa masala is fantastic. I have tried most of their dishes and found each one outstanding.
