Was craving Indian food and went for Viva Goa based on distance from my house. Fantastic decision. Got the Samosas, Garlic Naan, and Chicken Tikka Masala everything was on the money, if I had to go back and do it again I would do the Tikka Masala/Garlic Naan, drop the Samosas as it was a big portion to put down for one person. That said, the Samosas were money and if I wasn't weird about finishing my food I would still get them 10 times out of 10 especially with the sweet dipping sauce. The Tikka Masala/Garlic Naan combo was big money. Haven't had a Garlic Naan like that yet in the city yet. Absolutely delightful. A little thicker and chewier than other ones that I've had and for my taste that was preferred. Also, I don't know why I saw people complaining on here about the service? The homie at the front who checked me out was a friend of the people. I wouldn't hear a word otherwise. If you live in the Marina/Cow Hollow area I would strongly encourage a visit to Viva Goa. I will be going back again, and again, and again, and again, and again.

Hands down best indian food in the city
We tried malai.kofta and saag paneer
Both were super flavorful and tasted almost like homemade indian food
Naans were amazing as well

This is an amazing spot to have Goan and Indian food. The food quality along with the service is amazing.. Highly recommending this place for everyone who like to try Goan food along with the regular North Indian dishes.

Stumbled across Viva Goa while we were looking for affordable eats before a movie at Presidio Theater. What a great surprise!! This was easily the best Indian food I've had in the city - their okra masala was tangy and perfectly cooked, and every dish had incredible depth. We will be back!

Great take-out place! Chicken tikka masala is the way to go. Wish there was a bit more chicken though. Decent rice portion. Make sure you get the garlic naan too

Absolutely wonderful staff, and some of the best food I've had in a while.

Viva Goa is head and shoulders the best Indian food in the city. We order from here (take out or dine in) a couple times a month – it never disappoints. Every dish just has more flavor than pretty much any other Indian spot I’ve been to, and the flavors themselves are delicious. Food is super high quality, service is so friendly, and the whole team here has a lot to be proud of — place is the best.

Delicious, relaxed environment, great service, very VERY reasonably priced. My boyfriend and I got an appetizer, three sides, two entrees, and a large beer to split - it all came out to ~$68 total, including tax (but not tip). That is unheard-of pricing in this part of SF! My boyfriend loves spicy curry and they delivered a deliciously spicy vindaloo - it had the type of spiciness that grows instead of being so spicy that you can't taste anything else. The service was very attentive and kind, and all of our dishes were excellent. The environment was very laid-back and relaxing. We will definitely be back!

Excellent cuisine: light on fat, heavy on spices and vegetables. The tandoori dishes have some smoke flavors. The Masala chicken and lamb were both excellent. Decent wine and beer selection. We didn’t have dessert. Service was impeccable as was the cleanliness.
