★★★☆☆ 3.0 Abhi · Mar 2026

This Indian restaurant ( South Indian Style) near Fisherman’s Wharf with a solid menu of dosas, appetizers, curries, and biryanis that generally taste good. We tried the chilli chicken, curry, and chapati, and all of them turned out well with generous portions that felt worth the price. The dining area is quite large, so it’s comfortable for groups and doesn’t feel cramped. However, the service was disappointing on our visit. The server seemed inattentive and didn’t really check in on guests. With better service this place could easily move up, but for now it’s a mixed experience—good food and value, but lacking in hospitality.

★★★★★ 5.0 Vikas Patel · Jul 2025

Hidden Gem for a quick bite right on the waterfront and pier 39 areas accessible by a few minutes walk and also available street parking for those visiting there by driving straight to the location. Service is excellent by attending staff Raja and Venkatesh. Their seating is very spacious and does not feel crammed for an eatery in that vicinity. Additionally they also have a separate banquet type area which can accommodate party or celebratory occasions that demand music and lighting provided. We came for a quick bite and ordered items which were prepared fresh and tasted yummy. Their choice of drinks are also straightforward with a glass window refrigerator to give you an idea of the soft drinks and alcoholic beverages (beers). Their menus and decors bring back nostalgia from the South In

A very good authentic flavor from cuisine of chennai, india. The ambience and food was excellent. Brought back memory of my hometown chennai. sambar, chutney was very authentic. I ordered mysore masala, mushroom masala , idli and bajji . everything was top quality . mushroom msala was fried with very different taste.. Highly recommend if you are around pier 39..

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 azhar ansari · Oct 2025

Service :- Very bad, the Gujrati girl who was serving she has an very bad service and she doesn’t know how to treat people, imagine food is on table and there is no plate served by her, no water, and next to us there was an table reserved by that same girl and she prepared everything for them, the guy on the counter was very helpful and he give a nice service, that girl don’t know how to talk when we asked how is that food she said she is vegetarian, i mean if you are working in non vegetarian restaurant you should answer properly or if you don’t know then send someone else who know. Food :- Taste was good. Just because of that Girl who served us i will never suggest anyone to go there , i had attached photo to see the food is on table and no plates no water served.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kymble Johnson · May 2025

I went here with a group of friends upon arriving in San Fran. We were all craving Indian and this place is in a great spot near the beach and close to Ghirardelli square, so we decided to try it. We went for a late lunch and there was only one other group eating there. The atmosphere was simple but bland, definitely lacking some personality and decor. The service was average, and it took the server a while to attend us even though there wasn’t hardly anyone there dining. What really surprised all of us was that the curries we ordered didn’t come with rice—we had to order it separately, which was a bit disappointing and not normal in my opinion. The food was good overall! I’ve had better Indian food before, but this place serves great plates with a lot of flavor, just as they should. Por
