Best, most authentic North Indian food I've had in SF (or the US for that matter). Every dish is super tasty - be sure to wash it down with the masala chai and save some room for the Gajar ka Halwa

Get the lassi flight. I ordered 🍓,🌹 and mango.The chicken tikka, benghan and chicken saag were delicious.They serve a variety of naan. We ordered garlic and fruit and nuts. Nice ambiance as well. 😁

Best Indian lunch buffet I've found near SoMa. Great Lassi selection: peach is a nice change from the ubiquitous mango.

Great food, nice atmosphere. Service can be slow, enjoy yourself with an Indian beer or Shiraz.

Takes a while, but great food! You absolutely have to get the Falooda and the Firnee here (both desserts)! The best I've ever had in the US.

Amazing grilled meats, quite good tikka masala. Definitely worth checking out!

If you like lassi, try the lassi sampler! Good value and delicious variety.

Waited 30m for a table (with reservation) + 2h more for food. Staff completely ignored us after we ordered. Didn't get apology until we asked for the manager. No money was taken off the final bill.

Lassi selection is superb. Try the half sweet, half salty.

The food was kinda pricey and not really tasty. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Food is good, but the service is slow and incompetent.

Avoid on busy nights- we waited 75 minutes for food with no warning.
