Irina LoJuly 14, 2019We come here all the time. Very traditional and tasty food. Zaccuti is my fav but everything is delicious.
I've been coming here weekly for 4 years if that answers the question of what I think about the food and service. The prawn Xacutti is my favourite and the buffet is always a good selection.
Erik KriessmannSeptember 14, 2016Honestly big fan of this place. Food is good. It's nice inside. The staff is friendly. $12 buffet and they constantly being hot naan out to your table. Hard to beat that in SF. I always leave happy
ISC ChicagoJuly 30, 2017Pork Sorpotel (pork meat & liver cooked with red chillies, onion, ginger-garlic, vineger & blend of spices) with paratha
Jodee CherneyAugust 16, 2013Xacuti chicken is soooo delicious. Get it spicy, spicy if you are used to spicy indian food. Have it with the slightly sweet kabuli naan. So yummy you will like your fingers.
I've tried a lot of Indian food in the city and this is by far the best!! Great flavors and fast delivery. They have a lunch buffet too!!
J KJanuary 17, 2017Buffet lunch ($10.99 weekdays, $12.99 weekends). 11 a.m.-3 p.m. daily. The real treats are found in Goan specialties like fish ambot tik, a sour and spicy sauce- My favourite Indian spot in the city. Make sure you try the Xacutti, one of their specialties.
- Lears FoolJuly 20, 2015One of the few SF places with authentic Chicken Lollipops. And they are deliciously tangy.
Manoj ChSeptember 7, 2015Food is good...Mango pudding is delicious...no chicken biryani in buffet..thats bad..!- ISC ChicagoJuly 30, 2017Small but affordable lunch buffet, but I highly recommend ordering from the menu, not many places to get Goan food
Sharon PithawallaJune 23, 2017Great taste. Try the goan specialty dishes rather than the traditional Indian ones.
Ajesh ShahDecember 26, 2011Definitely try any of their paneer dishes. Very fresh and soft paneer, better than almost any Indian restaurant in bay area.
Kosuke HataOctober 18, 2012Sleepy looking place - but you have to try the seafood curries here. Xacuti, Goa Shrimp Curry, Fish Curry. All fantastic.- Ajesh ShahDecember 26, 2011Not only the usual Indian food, but definitely try the Goan cuisine, like the xacuti or vindaloo. If u dare, then go full spice level :)
Go for their lunch buffet to try out several of their dishes at once. Everything is delicious.- Christina LorJune 30, 2013Everything from biryani to xacutti is amazing. I haven't had a bad bite yet!
Christina BoggsOctober 7, 2013This place was incredible! Order the veggie samosas, they're dusted with awesome!
Excellent Chicken Tika Masala and rice. Their onion naan is also amazing- The food, price & service are outstanding in this hidden gem.
- Ajesh ShahDecember 26, 2011Try bebinca, it is a Goan dessert. It's decent, but you might need a lil more whip cream on top
Jess SorianoOctober 16, 2010Best Indian food in San Francisco! Come for the buffet. The fish curry is exceptional
Lunch buffet say whaaaaaat! Delicious all you can eat food for $9? Yes please.
Jos HuijtsJune 17, 2011Eindelijk een restaurant in SF waar "spicy" de naam eer aan doet. Goe poeder!

"Modern take on Indian food. Kati rolls are my go-to, but everything is tasty - lots of food for a reasonable price. Check out their daily specials and don't forget the chai!"
