Over a few visits, the food has always been quite consistent and tasty. The dishes we order have always been a variety of chicken dishes. The dishes are not over seasoned and flavorful. The naan is light and fluffy with a little crisp, one of the better tasting naan I've had. It's a family owned and run business. Our last visit we had the pleasure of meeting Sohail, one of the owners who was also waiting tables and happened to make our dining experience very pleasurable. Minus one star for per dish price. It is a little steep in relation to the amount of food you get. Humble owners, if you are on the fence about dining there, jump off and make sure you go, you won't be disappointed.

Looks "nice" until close examination. Then it looks really cool. Some of the best Indian food in SF. Excellent service, bordering on posh. Selection of Indian wines (which is rare). Lots of appetizers to choose from. Subtle and interesting flavors. Great tamarind jam

I really enjoyed the food :) but they don’t Greet the diners the minute they walk in the door, I was waiting for more than 10 mins for a table and I was thirsty, I asked them for water but they didn’t bring it :(

Yelp & Google helped me find a true gem in SF. Food, ambiance & service were outstanding, delicious rich flavors, learned about butter parantha, like a Naan croissant, and Kashmiri Chai, highly recommended!

Truly authentic Indian cuisine serving Halal/Zabihah meat in a homey setting. Their food was absolutely delicious, specifically the Chicken Tikka Masala. Also make sure to order some fresh Naan, rice, and try their Lassi: a traditional yogurt blended smoothie-like delight. The peach Lassi is our favorite! However, expect to spend 1-2 hours here (during dinner hours) as the kitchen is a bit slow preparing your fresh meal and the service is extremely slow. Our server visited us once in the 40 minutes we sat down at our table and that was just to take our order. They had food runners who brought us water and part of our food, but we had to flag our waitress down for the second half of our food. (Saturday @ 8:30pm) Others have also noticed this poor service during dinner time (even with a reservation) so I would recommend visiting on a weeknight or early on the weekend, around 6 pm for an authentic Indian experience!

Amazing food and service! By far my favourite spot to eat when it comes to desi food in the City. Especially love the chicken tikka fried they have (pictured below). Love bringing friends here whenever I can. Should be a must for anyone visiting the city!

The ambiance was good we can feel the punjabi/indian atmospheres. The appetizers especially samosa bites was good. Overall a nice Indian restaurant.

This place is great! The shisha is nice, the food is really - the kebabs especially. They have beer and wine for alcohol. Staff is very nice too, but the service can be painfully slow sometimes. There can be quite a wait on the weekends, even with a reservation sometimes you've got to wait a bit. We've taken many out of towners here and they've loved it!

Very Indian/ Punjabi style ambiance with mouthwatering food and beverages. The staff is polite and very friendly. If you're not sure of what you want to order, they willl help you and recommend what you should order. We ordered for Tandoori Paneer for appetizer. It was very soft and flavorful. For mains we ordered Paneer Tikka Masala and Dal Tadka. Paneer Tikka Masala was very tasty but the Dal Tadka was very thick and less appetizing. They also serve hookah/sheesha in the restaurant. A complete meal with complete satisfaction!
